10 Best and Worst Celebrity Perfumes

This is a TotalBeauty.com perfume article

These days, you haven't made it in Hollywood until you have your own fragrance. And it seems everybody, from Hollywood veteran Beyonce to newbie Justin Bieber, has their own fragrance. But the big question is whether these celebs are truly talented in the perfumery business -- or if their eponymously named fragrances stink. So we asked readers to test the plethora of celeb scents out there to give us their honest opinion on what they loved and what made them gag.

Hello Gorgeous! One of the best things you can do for your self and your mind is read over the summer! It's peaceful and keeps the brain wheels greased. Plus, when you take time to read, so will your kids! I really enjoyed this book and it makes a great travel read for long flights, boat rides or even a camel ride! I like adventure and I think you will too! Targets of Opportunity by Jeffrey S. Stephens The character Jordan Sandor is right up there with Clive Cussler's Dirk Pitt. The story was highly entertaining and one of those stories that you have a hard time putting down. All of the references to modern day weaponry, espionage, globe trotting capabilities to those that can, are right on target. Loyalty to friends and commrades, subjection to the higher authority whether a good guy or a bad guy and following orders make Sandor a guy you want to like and root for to make the day. The locations for setting of the story were exciting and very possible, so much a ring of truth. The places mentioned in the book were romantic, thrilling and historical. Location research was well done to make us visualize the scene and smell the smells associated with beach fronts, markets, and pubs. I recommend the book '' Targets of Opportunity'' to those who like action packed thrillers with a high level of danger and intrigue. Any book reader who reads some of the authors who specialize in adventure, action, high tech bad guys, even higher tech good guys will enjoy this read.
