- Star Scents: Iconic Women's PerfumeGivenchy L'Interdit, created especially for Audrey Hepburn and commissioned by Hubert de Givenchy, was named Forbidden because, according to rumors, the actress didn't want the designer to share it with other women. In the 1960s, however, it was released to the public, with an accompanying advertising campaign featuring the actress. Powdery and musky, the scent is true to its name, eliciting a sense of shrouded bedrooms and feminine intrigue.Spritz this if… you're demure on the surface, yet your shyness masks an inner seductress.http://static1.glo.com/photos/Original/100140_Original.jpg
- Star Scents: Iconic Women's PerfumeJane Birkin, the French New Wave beauty famous for her sexual antics—recording a sexy song with Serge Gainsbourg, for one—was vexed without a scent that melded perfectly with her skin. That's until London perfumer Miller Harris created an aroma, L'Air de Rien, just for her. With notes of neroli and Oakmoss, the unisex fragrance is distinctly earthy, meant to be worn by women—and men—who crave the freedom of Paris, and Birkin herself, in the 1960s.Spritz this if… you're revolutionary and free, a woman who's open to almost anything.http://static2.glo.com/photos/Original/100141_Original.jpg
- Star Scents: Iconic Women's PerfumeComposed of a trio of scents—Mythos, Sphinx and Goddess—this Grès collection, released in 2009, is inspired by Greta Garbo, the mysterious Swedish actress. Alix Barton, the original designer of Grès, clothed Garbo in her famously skin-baring designs, so it's appropriate that the house would pay homage to her today. These musky, floral scents recall moody black-and-white film and the depth of Garbo herself, who broke hearts with the subtlest expressions.Spritz this if… you're deeply nostalgic, with a flair for drama.http://static2.glo.com/photos/Original/100144_Original.jpg
- Star Scents: Iconic Women's PerfumeNamed after the Egyptian goddess, and inspired by Princess Diana—truly a modern-day goddess—Isis was created by William Owen III, whose family has been making scents for the royal family for over a century. A combination of white rose and violet, Isis is sunny and feminine, much like the princess had been.Spritz this if… you are unabashedly cheerful, but with a regal bearing.http://static.glo.com/photos/Original/100143_Original.jpg
- Star Scents: Iconic Women's PerfumeMade by designer Jacques Guerlain in 1933, Vol de Nuit Perfume was an homage to Night Flight, a romance novel by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. The perfume was worn by Ava Gardner, Jean Harlow and, most famously, Katharine Hepburn, whose own love of flight was famously memorialized in Martin Scorsese's film The Aviator. Based on a combination of woodsy and spicy floral notes, including daffodils and amber, the scent evokes the thrill of flight.Spritz this if… you're singular and airy, a woman who yearns for complete freedom.http://static.glo.com/photos/Original/100145_Original.jpg
- Star Scents: Iconic Women's PerfumeAlthough many stars have worn Shalimar, none of them are famous for pouring it down a prison drain, which is what Maharani Gayatri Devi, the princess of Jaipur, reportedly did during her stay in a Delhi penitentiary in 1975. Jailed for violating tax laws, the Maharani doused the pipes to relieve the jail of bad odors. The sweet, fresh scent was first created in 1921 by Guerlain in memory of another Indian princess, Mumtaz Mahal (for whom the Taj Mahal was erected). Spritz this if… you are glamorous and rebellious at once, and you carry yourself like a queen.http://static2.glo.com/photos/Original/100142_Original.jpg
- Star Scents: Iconic Women's PerfumeCreated by Coco Chanel in 1920, Chanel No. 5 was designed to epitomize the modern, independent woman. At the time, women either wore distinct floral essences or musky blends; Chanel introduced a new, more complicated fragrance that combined the two. Containing notes of vanilla and jasmine, No. 5 was mixed by Ernest Beaux, who originally designed 25 fragrances for Coco to choose from—and we all know which number she selected.Spritz this if… you are mature and independent, not afraid to show your inner strength.http://static2.glo.com/photos/Original/100139_Original.jpg
- Star Scents: Iconic Women's PerfumeFlora by Gucci is a collection inspired by a scarf made for Grace Kelly after she visited the Milan Gucci store in 1966. When she asked to see their kerchiefs, Rodolfo Gucci said none were worthy of her beauty. Gucci had a pattern created for her, lush and full of blossoms, from which five flowers were used to make the Flora line—Gorgeous Gardenia, Gracious Tuberose, Glamorous Magnolia, Generous Violet and Glorious Mandarin.Spritz this if… you're high-spirited and romantic, the kind of woman who will never stop looking for (or loving) her prince.NEXT ON GLO: Glo Back to 1946http://static2.glo.com/photos/Original/100138_Original.jpg
