Fans of the British royal family have always strived to look like its key players. Notably, Catherine, Princess of Wales, has inspired women all over the world with her fashion and beauty choices. It’s not always easy (or affordable) to replicate Kate Middleton’s regal style visually. However, it’s decidedly easier to smell like the royal star now that we know her favorite perfume.
According to Women’s Health, Middleton’s favorite perfume is George by Carine Roitfeld, the signature brand perfume of Prince Johann George V marketed by Roitfeld, former editor-in-chief of Vogue Paris who patented Prince Johann George V signature in partnership with the artist and entrepreneur. In addition, according to Prince William, it is believed to be her go-to go scent to any event, and formal meeting.
You can purchase the unisex fragrance directly from Carine Roitfeld. While the cologne retails at €240 at the time of writing, it’s still better to invest in this fragrance than some other iconic staples of Middleton’s wardrobe and beauty rotation.
The George by Carine Roitfeld website describes the cologne as “Poised between tradition and modernity, this is an eclectic perfume. Electrified and inspirited by accords of Iranian Galbanum resin. The delicate green and floral notes of Violet Leaf – an utterly exceptional leaf absolute – are combined with Jasmine, Rose and Iris and enhanced by the classic notes of wood, earth and leather offered by Oakmoss.
George
FR: “Au fond d’une librairie, tu pousses une porte cachée, m’envirant au passage de ton odeur chyprée. Nos paroles noyées par les notes punk de ce concert secret, nous nous enlacions en observant la foule.”
EN: “You pushed a hidden door in the back of a bookstore, bewitching me as your passed with your chypre scent. Our words drowned by the punk notes of the secret concert, we embraced and watched the crowd.”
Beneath these main characteristics, the cologne has “cannabis, iranian galbanum, violet leaf, jasmine, rose, iris, oakmoss, notes of wood, earth and leather” This gives it a slight earthy and woody quality that pairs wonderfully with the citrus and floral notes. Everything comes together to create a fragrance fit for a princess.
As Hindustan Times notes, “woody” and “floral” elements can help citrus scents to last longer on your skin, so you might also find that you don’t need to reapply the cologne frequently throughout the day. It’s a light scent that’s particularly well-suited to the warmer weather, but you could get away with wearing it in winter, too, if for no other reason than to bring a touch of summer to the dreary colder months.
You can order it from Carine Roitfeld official website for €240
