Billie Eilish perfumes reviewed: Your Turn, No 1 and No 2 notes, price and lasting power
Confession time. When it comes to perfume, I can be a bit of a boujee biotch. My favourite scents of all time include Le Labo The Noir 29, Byredo Bal D'Afrique and Maison Crivelli Safran Secret all clocking in at over £200 for the pleasure of smelling fabulous. I'm great at sniffing out a good dupe but I can't lie, the spenny spritzes get me hook, line and sinker. However, one area I am constantly pleasantly surprised, is celebrity perfumes. Britney did it first with Fantasy and since then a number of stars have been cashing in on the scent-game.
I love Rihanna's Fenty EDP a lot, Ariana Grande Cloud is a big hit and Bella Hadid's Orebella Salty Muse is a newcomer in heavy rotation. But, if I was to award a celebrity perfume with a 'love them as much a some of my most expensive scents' it would be Billie Eilish perfumes, specifically, Your Turn. The star has a trio of scents available in the UK; Eilish, Eilish No. 2 and Your Turn, each with a unique scent profile and I'm so impressed considering they start from just £35. Here's my in-depth reviews on all three.
I tested these scents over the period of three months, rotating them with my normal favourites. I noted how long each lasted on my skin and my clothes compared to my most expensive Eau de Parfums.
Top notes – Sugar, Red Berries and Mandarin OrangeMiddle notes – Vanilla, Cacao, Spicy Notes and RoseBase notes – Tonka Bean, Amber, Musk and Woody Notes
I say: At first sniff this is super sweet for me. Vanilla is the immediate note that pulls through as soon as you spray and is the lingering note as the perfume wears away. For such an affordable scent, it has decent longevity on the skin and even better on clothes – I would say this is the case across all three of the stars' scents.
For me, this scent is a little too sweet, like artificially so, with the likes of vanilla and cacao in the middle and sugar, red berries and orange on the top. If you go crazy for Sol de Janeiro body mists you with likely love the sweetness of this scent.
Reviews say: "This is definitely my favourite perfume. It's a soft and sexy scent that makes me feel so girly. I can't wear a lot of perfumes because they are too strong, but not this one. When someone hugs me, they always say, you smell so good! What are you wearing? I have been wearing this scent for 3 years and will continue to until they stop making it. Love it!!!"

Top notes – Bergamot, Apple Blossom and IncenseMiddle notes – Black Pepper, Papyrus and PoppyBase notes – Palo Santo, Ebony, Vanilla and Musk
I say: Again, this scent definitely has a gorgeous sweetness to it, but this time the musky and woody note pull through and make this a way more unisex and IMO a more grown up scent that Eilish.
At first spritz, it's honestly pretty fresh and floral, thanks to the apple blossom and leans into a perfect spring/summer scent, but the dry down screams warm, woody and creamy (thanks to the ever present vanilla note). The sillage (which is perfume talk for the trail of scent that perfume leaves) is perfect for a sext summer's eve.
Reviews say: "This is the best sent I've ever smelt my daughter is the biggest billie eilish fan she's in love with it! She's very exited to get no.3!!"
Billie Eilish Your Turn Eau De Parfum 30ml
If you like creamy, woody and musky scents a la Santal 33 or Santal Vanille from 7 Virtues, you'll love this. It's light, warming and not at all overpowering. To me, it's a warm cozy cuddle from a person that you find incredibly sexy. The base notes including Iso E Super means it's going to enhance your natural pH scent and read a little differently on everyone.
Top notes – Cardamom, Ginger and BergamotMiddle notes – Coconut Water, Peach and Night Blooming JasmineBase notes –Australian Sandalwood, Musk and Iso E Super
Reviews say: "It strikes me as a much more wearable Santal 33, after owning it for a few months. Well done Billie & your frag partners! I'll probably be buying a second bottle at some point. It has become one of those bottles in my collection that I find myself craving."
