Design Hunting - What 19 Famous People Smell Like

Aubrey Plaza uses Real Purity natural deodorant because of Judy Greer. (And then so did several Strategist editors, including New York deputy editor Alexis Swerdloff and Strategist senior editor Simone Kitchens.)

Tallulah Willis and Paul Smith both use Aesop Déodorant. She wears it like perfume; he found out about it in the bathrooms of Japan’s Park Hyatt Hotel.

Eve and Ana Gasteyer like this natural option from Schmidt’s in rose-vanilla. Eve is “a sweater” and says it’s the only natural deodorant that keeps her dry. Gasteyer likes that “if you sweat in it, you smell like a rose instead of cat urine.”

Lesley Arfin and Derek Hough can’t live without Old Spice Fresh deodorant. Hough has worn the deodorant since he was a kid and says it smells “clean, fresh, and also a little bit nostalgic.” To Arfin, whose husband wears the product, it smells like “a free ticket to the bone zone.”

Ludacris swears by Dove’s Dry Spray. “I was very amazed by how it keeps you protected and smelling good,” he says. “You can work out and sweat like crazy. It’s something I’ve become very fond of recently.”

Rick Ross feels “fresher than a newborn baby” wearing Secret Powder Fresh, “and I smell powdery fresh, like money, all day.”

Joji says “Degree is the move.” The smell is a little industrial, but “low-key, it really lasts. It’s probably because of the chemicals that screw up your armpits, but I can push through a lot of things with this on.”

Aidy Bryant says this hand sanitizer can double as a deodorant in a pinch – ”sometimes on a 20-hour SNL day it’s the closest thing I can get to a shower.” She keeps a small spray bottle of this sanitizer in “every room in the house, and also my purse, my office, and my dressing room at work.” She sprays it on “mattresses, zits, makeup brushes, and clothes but mostly armpits.”
