Smellebrities

Sometimes you’ll look at a celebrity and know immediately what it’s like to hang out with them. Brad Pitt, for example, is clearly smug and pretentious, especially when he’s stoned. I imagine Al Pacino to be kind of jumpy and paranoid, Guy Fieri to be steeped in a rendered glaze of self-loathing, and Jessica Simpson to be a terrible driver and constantly snacking.

These are things we can glean merely from watching their movies or shows, and taking cursory glances at the tabloids. Some celebrities, however, have such outsize personas with clearly tangible animas, that it actually stimulates the olfactory senses.

So what do the famous folks of today smell like?  Let’s see!

Taylor Momsen: Marlboro Lights, Cheapo Bodywash, Hair Extension Glue

Katy Perry: Stale Pez, rubbing alcohol

Ben Stiller: Aftershave, toothpaste, self-doubt

Tyra Banks: “Angel” by Thierry Mugler, Ice Cream, Baby Powder, Weave Glue

Angelina Jolie: Leather, baby formula, the faint odor of an electrical fire
