Harry Styles is a name that instantly brings to mind chart-topping hits, distinctive fashion, and that magnetic charisma. Since his debut with One Direction, Harry has come a long way, becoming one of the music industry’s standout solo artists, and one of my favourite male artists.
With iconic songs like “Watermelon Sugar” and “Adore You” under his belt, he’s not only amassed accolades but also a hefty net worth estimated in the tens of millions.
But his creative ventures aren’t just limited to music. When I dove a little deeper, I found out that he launched his own beauty brand in 2021, Pleasing.
If, like me, you’ve always been curious about what fragrances celebrities wear, the British singer doesn’t disappoint.
Let’s take a look at the scents that Harry Styles swears by.
Gucci Mémoire d’une Odeur
More than just his favourite fragrance, Harry Styles became the face of the Gucci Mémoire d’une Odeur perfume campaign.
“It didn’t feel like a typical new fragrance campaign shoot,” he told DazedDigital. “We spent three days outside of Rome, hanging out. A couple of friends were on it, like Harris [Reed]. So that was really fun.”
Talking about his favourite fragrance, Harry said: “It transcends gender. I really like wearing it because it’s [Gucci’s] first universal fragrance… It’s really fresh to me. Floral, clean, not heavy. It smells like what I imagine Joan Didion’s house to smell like.”
When asked, if he actually wears the fragrance, Harry replied, “All the time. I even sleep in it.”
If you’re curious about the fragrance, Gucci Mémoire d’une Odeur is a distinctive, universal scent that blurs the lines between traditionally masculine and feminine fragrances. Opening with the rare freshness of chamomile, I think it has a really nice heart filled with the sweetness of Indian coral jasmine nature print. The fragrance settles into a warm base of musks and woods, complemented by hints of vanilla and cedar.
And of course, don’t forget that literary touch of Joan Didion (who also happens to be my favourite author).
Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille Eau de Parfum
Harry Styles is also rumoured to wear Tobacco Vanille EDP by Tom Ford, a blend of sweetness, vanilla, and tobacco lead. Add in a blend of dried fruits and woody notes and you end up with Tobacco Vanille EDP, an elegant perfume with old-world charm. I definitely think I can see Harry Styles wearing this fragrance.
You can imagine Styles wearing this on a cool evening, the spicy and sweet notes wafting around him, leaving a memorable trail wherever he goes.
Does Harry Styles Have His Own Fragrance Line?
Currently, Harry Styles doesn’t have his own fragrance line, but he’s working on it as we speak. His team has revealed that the names of his upcoming fragrances are ‘Closeness,’ ‘Rivulets,’ and ‘Bright, Hot.’
In 2021, Styles unveiled his beauty brand, ‘Pleasing’, following the lead of musicians like Ariana Grande, Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Keith Urban and even Elvis Presley, who have fragrance lines, proving that musicians can indeed make a splash in the world of cosmetics and fragrances.
As fans and fragrance enthusiasts, we can only wait with bated breath to see (and smell) what Harry Styles brings to the table. Will it mirror his eclectic style, or will it introduce us to another facet of the artist? I can’t wait to find out.
How to Smell Like Harry Styles On A Budget
I’m a huge fan of the Sign of the Times singer but I also love bargains. If you want to smell like Harry Styles without splurging too much money, here’s a few affordable fragrances I think come close to his favourites:
Odeur 53 Comme des Garcons
Much like Gucci’s Mémoire d’une Odeur, Odeur 53 is a floral, woody fragrance that challenges the norms. With a variety of unique components including desert sand, flaming, rock, nail polish, it’s an avant-garde olfactory journey, perfect for those who love to push boundaries like Harry Styles.
Zara Tobacco Collection
I was in Zara a few weeks ago when I first tried their cheap and cheerful fragrances.
Zara Tobacco Collection is shockingly reminiscent of the Tom Ford classic, capturing that signature warmth and richness. At a fraction of the cost, I can’t recommend it enough.
Remember, a higher price doesn’t always mean a better scent. It’s about finding what resonates with you.
