A 30ml spray bottle retails at around 18 pounds.

2 - Kate Moss

Kate by Kate Moss perfume is currently the second most popular in sales for the UK Company Superdrug. The fragrance it sold as, "a mix of elegant and risque."

Top Three Bizarre Celebrity Scents

Jade Goody

Why anyone would want to smell like Jade Goody is a mystery to me. The perfume was released in June 2006 and is said to be "sweet and enduring - just like Jade". It has base notes of sandalwood, Vanilla, Amber Moss and Musk. Bergamot and Cassis citrus notes as well as Cumin, Cinnamon and pink pepper middle notes. Shh... retails for around 25 GBP per 100mls.

Donald Trump

In September 2004 Donald Trump released a fragrance that aimed to be "the best man's fragrance available". The cologne contained mint, cucumber and black basil citrus notes with a core secret ingredient adding to spicy and earthy undertones. The fragrance was on the market for 60 dollars per 3.4 ounce bottle. The press release said of Trump, "People want to know him on every level". I'm not convinced.

Cliff Richard

Cliff Richard has lent his name and image to two perfumes, miss you nights and devil woman. Miss you nights is said to be a warm, floral, oriental scent. Whilst devil woman is said to be heady and sensual and be reminiscent of the early days of rock and roll. Devil woman has a scent dominated by French cassis - a blackcurrant note that is found in wine. Convenient as anyone that wants to smell like Cliff would have to be drunk. 15 pounds per bottle.
