    Last year, Marc Jacobs said he considered suing the makers of Justin Bieber's Someday scent, due to the bottle's similarity to his own fragrance, Lola.

  3. Paris Hilton

    In 2011, Paris launched her "Passport" fragrance line -- and one critic on Amazon.com called her Passport Paris Spray "cheap and American."

  4. Britney Spears

    Spears' perfumes have a strong following, but fans seemed to think Midnight Fantasy stunk in comparison to regular Fantasy.

  5. Kim Kardashian

    One Amazon.com reviewer said Kim Kardashian for Women is "like a $10 perfume you buy in CVS discount store."

  6. Mariah Carey

    A totalbeauty.com reader called M by Mariah Carey Eau de Parfum Spray "the nastiest, cheapest smelling perfume you have ever smelled."

  7. Jennifer Lopez

    Remember Glow by JLo? We tried it, and we quickly tired of the synthetic, overpowering smell.

Adam Levine Says He 'Hates' Celebrity Fragrances, Comes Out With His Own: Who Has the Lamest Celeb Fragrance?

He's got moves like Jagger, but he just might be eating his words. In March 2011, Adam Levine, frontman of Maroon 5 and co-host of the "The Voice," issued the following tweet: "I also would like to put an official ban on celebrity fragrances. Punishable by death from this point forward." This year, he recently announced that he's teaming up with ID perfumes to launch his own fragrance for men and women, 222 by Adam Levine.

And guess who pointed out the hypocrisy? His "Voice" co-judge, Christina Aguilera. She tweeted: "Ha ha. Adam Levine, what a difference a year makes. Welcome to the celebrity fragrance family!"

Levine, however, is laughing off the rivalry, explaining to People that the "Voice" vixen (who has fragrances of her own) was just being "funny and silly and friendly," adding, "We were just messing around." That said, he still has his qualms about celeb fragrances.

"I know there’s a stigma attached to it," he tells People. "A stigma that I fully understand because I, too, hate the idea of a celebrity fragrance, absolutely, 100 percent." So why is he making one, then?

"I kind of thought to myself, 'Well I’m interested in fashion and there’s a lot of things about it that could be really cool if done properly," he tells the mag. "So I want to do a thing that’s never done properly. That’s my goal. It’s going to be cool."

    I do not get it. So many people on SodaHead tell me that they know my age by looking at my profile. Why can't you? I first learned this when I posted a comment about Taylor Swift and a woman scolded me for the comment and said I was old enough to be Taylor's grandfather. I asked her how she knew my age and she told me she looked at my profile.

    i'm sorry but i didn't look at your profile because it really wasn't that important to me. i was just wondering how old you were if youv'e been using a certain cologne for 60 years.

    I was not scolding you, and I am sorry if you got that impression. I could have tried some wise crack to the effect that my mother first gave me Old Spice to use in the womb, but then I figured you would check my profile. It is true. I have used Old Spice even before I started shaving. I recently wore it to have my teeth cleaned and the dental assistant paid me huge compliments.

    They say that the reason that copy-right-enfringement can't be challenged in a Court of Law is because it would be absolutely impossible to select 12 members on a Jury that would smell the evidence all exactly the same . . . Cave Men used to have a nose that could pick-up the smell of a Cave Woman who was In-Heat, prior to when Cave Women turned to actually having their Periods . . . But abuse over the past several million years have destroyed man's ability to smell long-distances . . . Similar to what Dogs do and Deer do today; not to mention several other species of Wildlife, such as Fish . . . And especially the ever-so-pre-historic eating-machine known as The Shark.

    Actually the real anwser is "None of the Above." I'm a man and can't really judge women's perfume. I just put down Paris Hilton because I think anything that woman does is lame.
    When in doubt, stick with the basics/classics that withstood the test of time:
    For Men:
    Aqua blue vulva After Shave
    Old Spice aftershave
    Brute
    Aramis - (my favorite)
    Drakkar Noir
    Polo
    Royal Copenhagen


    For Women: (you'll have to fill this one out more)
    L'Air Du Temps
    Chanel No. 5
    Lancome Perfume

    (if they have a celebrity attached to it, that's okay. It is the scent that sells.)
    More people came into this world in part probably cause their mother and father used these than all the celebrity scents put together.

    I don't care much for Adam Levine, but his perfume's name is my favourite, lucky, and birth number... it's a sign.
    I loved Mariah Carey's :)
    I picked Justin Bieber because he had these huge cardboard cut outs of himself next to the perfumes at Shoppers Drug Mart. The first time I saw the cardboard cut out from a afar, I thought it was a woman staring me down. I was so creeped out, till I looked and saw good old Biebs.

    I wouldn't buy any celebrity frangrance. Don't they make enough money already without ripping off their fans by charging more for a fragrance with their name on.

    Alright. I'll be honest. I am biased against Levine. I hate his sound. He has a semi-unique voice, but it doesnt make his music good. And this...Can you say, hypocrite?

    Everyone sells out. Its just a matter of admitting it.
