Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker – Available now from Parfums Raffy

The last few years have seen a glut of Celebrity fragrances appear on the market – but which ones are any the stars?

Sarah Jessica Parker’s Lovely (by Coty) seems to have won most of you over by collecting a large proportion of the final vote. Silver goes to Hilary Duff’s With Love (Arden) and Bronze goes to the scent that started it all (this time round at least), Glow by JLo (also Coty).
