Sarah Michelle Gellar, 48, Swears by This Luxe Floral Perfume—And Amal Clooney Is Obsessed Too

Sarah Michelle Gellar has shared the perfume she is loving this spring. The actress posted on Instagram that she is currently wearing Athénaïs Eau de Parfum from Parfums de Marly. The luxury scent is sold at Nordstrom for $410.

The brand is also popular with Amal Clooney, who has worn Delina Eau de Parfum at several red carpet events. Demi Moore has also been linked to the fragrance house, giving the label a strong celebrity following.

Athénaïs is a floral perfume with a mix of citrus and soft sweetness. It opens with bergamot, yuzu, and neroli. Jasmine and orange flower add a bright white floral heart. The base includes vanilla, amber, and tonka bean, which give it warmth and a creamy finish. The scent is described as fresh at first spray, then soft and comforting as it settles on the skin.

Shoppers say it leaves a strong impression. One customer wrote, “I smelled this in store and knew instantly I needed to buy it.” Reviews also praise its long wear and noticeable projection. Many say it lasts for hours without fading quickly.

The bottle itself stands out. It comes in a soft peach-toned glass design that looks elegant on a vanity. While the price places it in the luxury category, fans of rich floral perfumes say it feels worth the investment.

For those looking for more affordable options, fruity-floral scents like Le Monde Gourmand Fraise Fouettée Eau de Parfum, priced at $28, offer a lighter alternative for spring.

Floral perfumes remain a popular choice this time of year. Gellar’s post shows how celebrity picks can quickly spark interest in niche fragrance brands. With well-known names like Amal Clooney also wearing scents from the same house, Parfums de Marly continues to build its luxury image.

Spring is the perfect time to switch to fresh florals, and it’s always interesting to see what fragrances celebrities choose for themselves. A scent can say a lot about someone’s style.
