It's Taylor Swift's birthday! To celebrate, gift her fave splurge-worthy scent

Tom Ford's fragrances are legendary for being luxurious and distinct, and this sandalwood-based spritz is a perfect balance of earthy and floral. It smells like the most confident, feminine-but-not-prissy, classy lady you know. 

There are entire Reddit threads dedicated to Swift's fragrance pick, which fans call "a favorite" and "silky smooth." 

Unlike in the '90s, this distinctly musky oil isn't just for the lady running the "grain" aisle at your local food co-op or the hackey-sack hippies hanging out on your college quad. Today, America's sweetheart/daytime host Drew Barrymore wears this affordable, earthy perfume oil. According to the star's website: "Drew feels her best with a drop of Triloka Patchouli Perfume Oil on her wrists and neck. The fragrance transports her to a lush, luxurious place each moment she catches a slight scent."

I love the idea that Jennifer Garner, a woman I associate with the clean smell of Ivory Soap, is devoted to this sexy, vanilla-sandalwood scent. Among a certain set of jet-setting ladies, Byredo Gypsy Water is legendary (Sienna Miller and Rihanna are also fans) for its unique, distinctly smoky vibes. Garner told Vogue last year that she's "been wearing it forever."

This subtly floral, gardenia-based oil has legions of famous fans — there's an entire page devoted to them on Kai's website. It launched in 1999 and since then, the light roll-on has become an in-the-know fragrance staple for celebs and everyday folks alike. Oprah, for her part, loved the Kai signature scent so much, she included it in her Favorite Things List of 2007, and even requested the oil be made into a customized body butter that she raved about on her then-daily talk show. 

More than a decade later, reviewers still can't get enough of it: "The smell of heaven's garden in a bottle," raved one five-star reviewer.

"Smells amazing," proclaimed another. "I always get compliments when I wear it. Floral scent, really yummy."

When asked if she has a "signature scent" in a 2015 interview with Harper's Bazaar, Hayek offered up this iconic fragrance from designer Narciso Rodriguez. To say it's popular is an understatement: A bottle sells every 15 seconds worldwide, even 22 years after its launch. 

With light rose and just a hint of patchouli, For Her is well-balanced, elegant and both floral and woodsy. "It's very musky," Hayek shared.

"I have fallen in love with all of Michelle Pfeiffer's Henry Rose fragrances," Kidman told People in 2019. "My favorites are Torn (shown) and Last Light." Actress Kate Capshaw is also taken with the vetiver-and-vanilla unisex scent.

Stewart is known to be a bit fickle with her fragrances, but this scent remains close to her heart: The tuberose and jasmine perfume was created by a dear neighbor who gifted her a bottle before his passing at age 93. "He would induce me to bring over a six-pack of Corona beer, and he would give me a bottle of Fracas," she told Allure in 2021.

Who doesn't want to smell like a classy dame? Helen Mirren shared this favorite scented spritz with Glamour back in 2020, calling it her "go-to perfume." Fragrance scholars say it's a light mix of bergamot, lemon, mandarin orange and fig leaf, which makes it bright and spicy, just like the ageless beauty herself.

According to Women's Health, Aniston prefers this old-school French floral scent, which just happens to be the perfume I saved up for and wore in my suburban Philadelphia high school to seem worldly and très Parisien.
