Alexa Chung on her signature, smoky scent

by

The style icon and presenter tells us about her olfactive scent and her love for peppery, men's fragrances

‘I like to smell nice. I have told everyone [that I wear] Le Labo Santal 33 but apparently oils are the best thing. And Le Labo do oils, which I didn’t know about.

But yeah I was meant to meet that guy, I was like, ‘I want to meet that guy because he’s an American and I live in America’ and then he ran into a friend of mine and was like, ‘I don’t know why she wants to meet me’ and I was like, ‘I don’t know why I want to meet you.’

"Boys always have good things on – like peppery things – which I like."

He was like, ‘I don’t even know who this chick is!’ I was just kind of like, ‘f**k it, something can happen. Can’t we just make something nice even if it’s just something for me to have at home, like a candle?’

I used to wear Creed. The green one (Fleurissimo). And Dover Street Market has a really nice yellow one (Fantasia de Fleurs). I used to like nicking my boyfriend’s perfume but that’s because I bought them for him. Boys always have good things on – like peppery things – which I like.’
