The Power Woman's Favorite Scent
Six women's fragrances worn by different power women.
Written by Glenn Lauritz Andersson & Denis Vasilije, fragrance experts
Margaret Thatcher - the renowned lady who once believed she would never witness a female prime minister in her lifetime. Five years later, she was elected as the first female Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
Margaret's favorite fragrance was Penhaligon’s Bluebell, a delicate essence of bluebell – not a surprising choice as it exudes a sense and impression of success, elegance, and femininity.
Besides the Iron Lady herself, Penhaligon’s Bluebell is also a favorite of Princess Diana, Queen Elizabeth, and Kate Moss.
“Personal and wonderful attitude”
Other Successful Female Role Models and Their Favorite Perfumes:
Creed Love in White - Angelina Jolie, Michelle Obama
Two powerful women - one perfume. Michelle Obama and Angelina Jolie are two of the world's most influential women, both having built careers, raised children, and taken political stands. They are often praised in the media for their achievements, understanding, and compassion for others, as well as their femininity. That they both wear Creed Love in White is perhaps no coincidence.
Creed Love in White is a feminine and soft fragrance blending fragrant roses, jasmine, and magnolia in the top notes. The base notes feature darker, more mysterious accords of vanilla, amber, and sandalwood. A fragrance for the feminine and caring woman with a strong will.
Creed Royal Water - Victoria Beckham
Victoria Beckham - an entrepreneur, designer, and mother of four. Despite constantly juggling numerous responsibilities, she always manages to look stylish and well-groomed. Perhaps it’s because she wears Creed Royal Water, a fresh and clean fragrance with notes of citrus, mint, and rich amber. A scent that suits both men and women who thrive in the eye of the storm.
Acqua di Parma Colonia - Sandra Bullock, Kate Moss
Two red carpet icons who both wear the same perfume. Acqua di Parma's fragrance Colonia is beloved by both Sandra Bullock and Kate Moss. Colonia is described as an elegant, fresh, and timeless scent, just like these two icons. The fact that the perfume was originally intended for men does not deter these women. Why let a perfume manufacturer decide what you can and cannot wear?
Penhaligon’s Lavandula - Kate Winslet
The leading lady in one of the world's most famous films – Kate Winslet as Rose in Titanic.
Kate has won prestigious film industry awards that many can only dream of. She is also passionate about environmental issues and possesses a great commitment to global matters. Often seen on the red carpet in an elegant evening gown, she wears Penhaligon's Lavandula, offering a fresh breeze among the heavier Hollywood fragrances. The composition of lavender, spices, and vanilla creates a naturally fresh scent for the woman who cares about our environment, advocates for a better planet, and never compromises on her natural elegance.
Di Ser Kyara - Jenny Rydhström
When Gents founder, Jenny Rydhström, chooses a perfume, it is no ordinary scent. Di Ser Kyara is a subtle yet determined fragrance that often evokes a reaction from those nearby, much like Jenny herself. Did you know, for example, that Gents’ average customer votes in national elections at a higher rate than the general Swedish population? Perhaps it is because Jenny believes in embracing and highlighting differences, and this vision subtly permeates the site and its product selection. This, in turn, attracts a customer base that is unafraid to take a stand across the entire political spectrum and regardless of ideals.
Kyara is a refined blend of rose, oud, Indian sandalwood, and patchouli. Kyara is suitable for any time of day and all seasons, as its composition is of the drier and more elegant kind.
