As the editor of this site, I feel like we could be much bigger than we are. And if we trafficked in full celebrity news or astrological charts, we would be. And maybe you’re like, celebrity news?! I don’t care about Lindsay Lohan’s new face, I’m not some shallow IDIOT. But even if you personally don’t care that TS was proposed to with an elongated cushion-cut diamond that we estimate to be 8-10 carats while wearing a silk blend A-line skirted dress from Ralph Lauren, it doesn’t mean the rest of the world doesn’t.
And so, if we covered that kind of stuff, we might really get big.
Instead, we choose to cover celebrity-driven content like this, this, this, and this, in the most high-effort, niche way possible which makes my life infinitely harder, and appeals to the smallest number of people.
So I guess what I’m saying is: I’m bad at my job.
And because niche is what we do and who we are, I won’t be writing about Jennifer Aniston’s press tour outfits for The Morning Show even though that’s “relevant” and “clickable”, and instead I will be telling you the 3 fragrances she wears because I prefer classic, perennial content that doesn’t disappear into oblivion the moment a news cycle is over. No no. I’m doing the hard-hitting work of revealing her perfumes, which is, of course, timeless.
Stay tuned to the end for a fun reveal of the two fragrances JA created herself, what they smell like, and if they’re actually good.
Kai Eau de Parfum
I’m not showing off when I tell you I’ve been wearing Kai perfume since they launched around 25 years ago. And apparently Jen loves it, too. It’s the scent we all imagine the moment we step off a plane in Hawaii and someone places a lei around our neck—a near explosion of white florals like jasmine, gardenia, and plumeria. But somehow, it’s never too floral or sweet, just fresh, light, lovely, and the kind of scent every person you see will ask you about. It also comes as an oil rollerball* and this bizarre but magical body buffer* that I just keep in the shower and use as a loofah— the scent is litttttterally intoxicating. I also love to give this as gifts for the holidays and it makes people like me more.
Price: $54 for the roller, $84 for the spray
2. Jo Malone Orange Blossom Cologne
Apparently the story is that Emma Stone complimented JA on her scent after a hug at the 2024 Golden Globes and she said she was wearing … this! It first burst onto the scene in 2003–for some reason, the early aughts were positively dripping with orange blossom-scented things. It’s hard to call it a trend though since orange blossom is one of life’s most beautiful smells, and it remains beloved to this day. How to describe? Yes, there’s some citrus notes but they’re slightly bittersweet, and they surround a sort of shimmering, sparkling, white lilac scent. And not to be dramatic, but it’s one of the most gorgeous perfumes of all time. I’m ashamed to say I let my restocks lapse but for this article I ran out to Nordstrom to sniff it again. Oops, and then buy it again. Even though my perfume count is inching ever closer to three digits.
Price: $90 - $168
3. Cacharel Anaïs Anaïs Eau de Toilette
To be faaaaaair, back in a 2015 interview, JA told E! that she used to wear this fragrance back in high school and, didn’t we all? And didn’t we all because our moms were wearing it? That bottle! The musky, soapy scent! I always have a bottle on hand, to this day. I find mine at Macy’s. I know its heyday was the 80s, but timeless scents are timeless for a reason. I always get questions whenever I’m wearing this fragrance. And when I tell people what it is, they invariably know it and love it. So it’s kind of a little moment of humanity in our otherwise bustling lives.
Price: $57
BONUS: The SCENTS SHE CREATED HERSELF
Jennifer Aniston solstice bloom Eau de Parfum
As you know, I am not typically a person who buys celebrity perfumes. I don’t know why I know you know that, but I do. But for the sake of this article, I researched if Jen herself ever launched any fragrances and lo and behold, she has. Her most recent, Solstice Bloom, was launched in 2020, and after scrambling to buy it in what can only be described as a frenzy, I was pleasantly surprised to sniff its solar notes mixed with some musk and smoke—a sort of a creamy, hot-skin vibe that gives way to a soft powder.
Price: $20
Jennifer Aniston Fine Fragrance Mist
Apparently this is the “mist” version of her first fragrance, launched in 2010, and originally called Lolavie (now the name of her haircare line that our managing editor is obsessed with—for proof, read THIS) but eventually changed simply to Jennifer Aniston. The packaging is … basic. The price is … shocking. The expectations are … low. And yet, it’s actually kind of lovely. Another summery skin-scent with lots of beachy, suntan lotion notes. Similar to Bobbi Brown “Beach” which I also own. Because I am unwell.
Price: $10
