Anxiety sweat instead of perfume

Trésor Midnight Rose by Lancôme
This perfume was kissed awake by Emma Watson from her fragrance slumber: Trésor Midnight Rose by Lancôme. “I didn’t really like perfume; I thought they were very heavy, but this scent is light and playful. I am excited to be the face of a fragrance that I love like crazy,” she told the British edition of Vogue during the launch of the scent in 2011.
It’s understandable that Emma associates a lot with the floral-sweet scent: she was even involved in the design of the bottle (the iconic Lancôme Rose is tinted in a deep lilac) and played the lead role in the advertising campaign.

Heart note: Jasmine, Blackcurrant Blossom, Peony and Pink Pepper
Base note: Musk, Cedar and Vanilla
Price: 30 ml for about 60 Euros
Paradoxe by Prada
Okay, Emma never said she actually wears “Paradoxe” by Prada. But she has a lot in common with the scent: her love for fresh, floral and cheerful aromas. In addition, she was the face of the Prada perfume and got a pixie cut just for that. And let’s not forget: she made her directorial debut in the campaign. So, it doesn’t seem too far-fetched to think that she occasionally sprays the scent on herself to remember that grand time in her life, right?

Be Delicious by DKNY
Emma made it clear that she is not an excessive perfume fan, but during her “Harry Potter” days, she reportedly relied on a specific scent—namely “Be Delicious” by DKNY, a very fresh perfume regarded as a true fragrance classic for women.
“Be Delicious” visually resembles a green apple, which is a reference to New York, aka the “Big Apple.” Of course, green apple is also part of the composition—the fruity-floral freshness was something Emma always needed.

Mysterious favorite scent
Tragically! Emma Watson’s favorite scent is untraceable. In an interview with “Into the Gloss,” she explained how this happened:
“It was the first perfume my father bought for me when I was 11 or 12 years old. We went to the French Provence, and he took me to a perfume factory where we saw how it was made. We bought it there, and I don’t know where else you can get it. I’ve tried to find it, but I can’t, so I just keep it with me as a good luck charm.
In an interview with Vogue India, she even mentioned that she tried to have the scent recreated, but it didn’t work out.
