her name. They're listed as top celebrity perfumes.

Rumor has it Jennifer Anniston is working on her own perfume endorsement.

Men

Antonio Banderas: Spirit comes in scents for men and one for women. It's said to be made of fresh greens and woods with a fresh clean scent. Prices vary and can be found at discount on the Internet. There's also Diavolo, with one scent for men and one for women.

The Donald has a fragrance and I daresay it's probably a better scent than the one he emits as seen on "The Apprentice." Is it the smell of success? I suppose one could stretch the limits of imagination and believe that by wearing it, he could perform financial wizardry. Aramis, a division of Estee Lauder, markets Trump: The fragrance.

Top Celebrity perfumes

Beyonce: True Star for women.

Paris Hilton: Paris Hilton and Just Me for women.

Sean "P Diddy" Combs: Unforgivable for Men and Unforgivable for Women.

Usher: Usher He and Usher She.

Jennifer Lopez: Glow and Love at First Glow (Women).

Sarah Jessica Parker: Covet and Lovely (Women).

Enrique Iglesias: True Star (Men).

Jennifer Lopez fragrances are very appealing. I tested Celine Dion's fragrance but opted not to buy. They're both fine fragrances but they don't appeal to every consumer; that's why it's great to have so many choices.

When you pay $40.00 to $60.00 for perfume, it should be exactly the perfume that suits your taste, your body chemistry and your wallet. Today, you can find these fragrances at discount stores on the Internet. Try them out in the stores and buy them online for the best discounts.

Some discounted celebrity scents can be found at pharmacies during the holiday season, and even Walmart carries a few selected fragrances.

One criticism of celebrity perfumes is the packaging. Critics believe that if you pay the amount they're asking, the bottle should be designer bottles or at least finely designed that show off the product. Most celebrities are with the program but a few use shoddy packaging.

An emergent theme in cosmetics and beauty products is health and safety. The impact on celebrity fragrances is not known, but lobbying groups and others call for safe products, green packaging and compliance in the perfume industry. Retailers and consumers alike will be watching developments.

Women have always loved fragrance and will continue to buy celebrity perfume through thick and thin, but perhaps more selectively in the future.
