What Perfume Does Victoria Beckham Wear? The Santal 33 Story
When Victoria Beckham, Emma Watson, and a roll-call of the world's most stylish women gravitate toward the same fragrance house, you pay attention. And right now, everyone who's anyone in fragrance is talking about Le Labo Santal 33.
The Celebrities Who Wear Santal 33
Victoria Beckham is widely considered one of the most high-profile Santal 33 devotees. The former Spice Girl and fashion designer has spoken about her love of understated, woody fragrances — and Santal 33's quiet luxury fits her aesthetic perfectly.
Emma Watson — known for her commitment to ethical, considered choices — has been linked to Santal 33's clean, natural-leaning profile. Jake Gyllenhaal and Calvin Harris have also been cited as fans, making this one of the few truly unisex celebrity scents that genuinely transcends gender.
In New York, it became so ubiquitous on the subway that The New York Times once described it as the "city's signature scent." That's a level of cultural penetration very few fragrances ever achieve.
What Does Le Labo Santal 33 Smell Like?
Santal 33 is a masterclass in modern minimalism. It opens with cardamom and iris before settling into its legendary heart of cedarwood, sandalwood, and leather — dry, smoky, and deeply comforting. The base adds violet and ambrox for a warm, skin-like finish that seems to meld with whoever wears it.
