5 Best Celebrity Men's Fragrances--from Antonio to Usher

Being an actor or musician isn't enough these days. You've also got to model, open a restaurant, or design clothes and shoes--or for these 5 stars, increase your wealth with your own line of celebrity men's fragrances.

Antonio Banderas (The Secret): An international movie star, Antonio Banderas is widely known for his strong and sexy roles in films like Desperado, Interview with the Vampire, and The Mask of Zorro. He's also brought his charm to a wider audience with his role in the Spy Kids franchise, as well as voicing the character Puss in Boots for the Shrek films.

Banderas is no stranger to creating a celebrity fragrance line--The Secret is his seventh signature cologne. ""I'm going to be 50 this year, so there's another turn of a corner into maturity in a very clear, strong way," People quotes Banderas, indicating the stronger and deeper scents of The Secret. The Sears department store lists the notes as: "mint, grapefruit, cinnamon, pepper, apple liqueur accord, tonka bean, woods, musk and leather." We're swooning already.

Introduced by AntonioBanderas at New York's Instituto Cervantes in May of 2020, celebrity fragrance The Secret is available at discount stores like Ulta and department stores, including Sears.

50 Cent (Power by 50): Otherwise known as Curtis Jackson, 50 Cent is one of the most successful and wealthiest rappers of the decade. Famous as much for multi-platinum albums like Get Rich or Die Tryin' as he is for surviving 9 bullets in a shooting attack in 2000, 50 Cent continues to be a controversial figure in music. Along with acting, creating a shoe line, sports drink, and body spray, 50 Cent recently released his own fragrance line, Power by 50.

Hiphop Crunch has photos of the Power by 50 celebrity fragrance launch, at Macy's Herald Square store in New York City on November 5, 2020. Macy's describes the rich combination of scents as "lemon leaves, black pepper and artemisia, a heart of dark wood, coriander and nutmeg and base notes full of patchouli, musk and oak moss." The metal accented top of the black glass bottle was apparently designed with 50 Cent's favorite Paguet watch in mind.

ChronicMagazine notes that rapper 50 Cent hopes to wow his fans with his spicy celebrity fragrance line: "I really wanted to bottle up the rush it gives you, so my fans can make it a part of their lifestyle." You can purchase the cologne exclusively in Macy's stores or online at Macys.com.

David Beckham (Signature Story for Him): Famous footballer (aka soccer player) David Beckham has had a long athletic career, playing for several England World Cup teams as well as for Manchester United, Real Madrid, and current home Los Angeles Galaxy. Beckham's skills combined with his good looks, intriguing metrosexual fashion choices, and sexy underwear ads for Armani have made him an immensely popular celebrity athlete. Along with his wife, former Spice Girl and current fashion designer Victoria Beckham, David Beckham has also delivered an entire fragrance collection.

The latest Beckham celebrity fragrance is Signature Story for Him, released in September 2020. According to E!Online, Victoria makes sure Becks gets his opinion in: ""He's not interested in the process, which I love, so I just chase him around the house, spraying fragrance on him to see what he likes and doesn't like." What David apparently likes are: notes of wild basil, violet leaves, pineapple, orange flower, rosemary, lavender absolute, cedarwood, incense, and patchouli.

David Beckham's celebrity cologne, Signature Story for Him, is available from a variety of department and drug stores, including Macy's and Amazon.com.

Tim McGraw (Southern Blend): Celebrity Tim McGraw has enjoyed continued success as a prolific, award-winning country star--as of March 2020, Billboard notes that McGraw has "sold over 40 million albums, and dominated the charts with 30 number one singles." McGraw's marriage to country star Faith Hill, and their subsequent musical collaborations, doubled his success in country music. He's also earned acclaim for his acting in projects like TV's Friday Night Lights and Oscar-nominated film The Blind Side.

Released in June of 2020, the Tim McGraw celebrity men's fragrance Southern Blend is exactly what its name implies--a combination of southern fields and farms and cowboys. Marie Claire lists the ingredients as head notes of bergamot, star anise, and grapefruit; heart notes of violet leaves, lavender, and whisky; soul notes of amber, vetiver, and tobacco. ""I just wanted something understated and cool," McGraw is quoted on the CMT blog, "something where you didn't feel like you were putting on some sort of French name, something that had a masculine feel to it."

Southern Blend is available at Kohl's and Target.

Usher (VIP): Usher is an award-winning, diamond- and platinum-selling R B; artist. According to MTV, his album Confessions sold over 1 million copies in its first week, and Billboard rates him the 2nd most successful musical artist of the last decade. As well as being a songwriter and producer, Usher is widely known as the career-maker of teen sensation Justin Bieber.

Usher is no stranger to the celebrity men's fragrance market, and VIP is his third offering. "I really feel like VIP represents the growth I've had in the last two years," Usher revealed to Women's Wear Daily. "The man that wears this fragrance, hopefully, will go out in the world empowered by what he's wearing." WWD lists the VIP cologne scent as having: "top notes of tangerine, bergamot, kumquat and nutmeg; a heart of violet leaf, lotus flower and saffron, and a drydown of vetiver, oakmoss and suede." Pat attention, guys, because this scent is as much for her as it is for you--Usher considers all of his fragrances to be "tools of seduction".

The Usher celebrity men's fragrance line VIP is available from department stores like Macy's and Dillard's.
