My Favourites:
Marilyn Monroe
The bombshell actress and singer’s love of Chanel’s classic perfume was notoriously confirmed when, during an interview in 1952, Monroe revealed that she wore “five drops of Chanel No. 5” and nothing else to bed. The quote is so famous that Chanel even used the original footage of the interview as part of a campaign in 2012. The perfume remains one of the world’s most popular, with one glass bottle of the golden fragrance sold worldwide every 30 seconds.

N°5 Eau de Parfum spray
(100ml), £113
Rita Hayworth
The first ever oriental perfume created by a luxury house, Guerlain’s Shalimar was reportedly the favourite fragrance of the 1940s filmstar. The intense perfume of bergamot, iris and vanilla notes was created in 1925, concocted to tell the imagined love story between an emperor and an Indian princess. The bottle design, which was inspired by the basins of the famous Shalimar gardens and created by Raymond Guerlain, is so impressive that it won first prize at the Paris Decorative Arts Exhibition the year it was made.
