We know the September It Girls for their impeccable wardrobes, but what about the scents they wear?

Just as a great outfit can say something about its wearer, a fragrance can reveal a different side of her. For Anne Curtis, Solenn Heussaff, Liz Uy, and Belle Daza, their latest scent rotations range from woody-citrus essentials to niche florals and warm gourmands. MEGA asked the four cover stars what they’ve been reaching for lately—and their answers are as personal as their style.

Anne Curtis

For Anne Curtis, the rotation is kept close to home. The actress reaches for two scents from her own brand, blk cosmetics: Quiet Ember, with its woody-citrus balance, and the newer Second Skin, a musky, powdery fragrance that sits close to the skin.

Solenn Heussaff

Solenn Heussaff, on the other hand, doesn’t quite subscribe to the idea of a signature scent. She prefers to work her way through the fragrances she receives as gifts, rarely buying another bottle once they run out. Lately, however, she’s been reaching for Frederic Malle’s Portrait of a Lady.

Liz Uy

Liz Uy’s fragrance collection might just be as covetable as her wardrobe. True to the tastemaker’s eye for the unexpected, her current rotation leans niche, with three distinct scents: Musc Nurasana’s warm, spicy notes, the floral Rose With Insect, and To Summer’s Ink.

Belle Daza

Belle Daza’s current rotation strikes a balance between sweet and sophisticated. D.S. & Durga’s Pistachio brings a warm, gourmand sweetness without becoming cloying, while Hermessence Poivre Samarcande offers a more polished mood with its woody-spicy character. One is for a little sweetness; the other, for days when she wants to feel refined.

If these It Girls’ scent rotations prove anything, it’s that a signature fragrance doesn’t have to mean sticking to just one bottle. From woody-citrus essentials to sweet gourmands and niche florals, each scent offers a different way to express yourself. After all, the ultimate It Girl scent is the one that feels like you.
