Jennifer Aniston Has Been a Secret Perfumer for Years

Jennifer Aniston might have debuted her first official fragrance just weeks ago–but it turns out she’d already honed her skills crafting signature scents for her inner circle. “I wanted to create my own fragrance because for years I would make scented oils and lotions for my girlfriends for wedding showers, baby showers and birthdays,” says this week’s PEOPLE cover girl. “I would create a personalized scent for them, so when I was offered the opportunity to design my own fragrance I jumped at the chance.” The debut scent, Jennifer Aniston, is a melange of notes that are nostalgic for her, she says, but that are also universal, smelling slightly different on each person who wears it. “I wanted to incorporate some scents that I love most, especially living in Southern California, like jasmine, sandalwood, violet and musk,” she explains. “It took over a year to get the fragrance just as I wanted it.” Buy the scent for yourself at sephora.com, and read more from Aniston in this week’s PEOPLE magazine, on newsstands now. --Kim Peiffer

Last week we asked you to weigh in on a trifecta of stylishly suited studs. This week, Hollywood’s stylish men kept it classic, opting for traditional formalwear in a variety of steely hues. On Saturday, Glee star Chord Overstreet created a moody mashup of a slim one-button dark charcoal suit, blue oxford and delicately dotted black tie at a Maxim party in Dallas. A few days later, costar Chris Colfer hit the Late Show with David Letterman in a shiny graphite-hued suit, crisp white button down and similarly skinny neckwear. That same night, Ed Westwick smoldered at the U.K. premiere of Chalet Girl in a heather gray, two-button Jil Sander suit with an expertly contrasted shirt and tie combo. All three exceed our gray expectations, but we want to know whose look you prefer. Tell us: Which guy looked the best in a gray suit this week?Justine Harman

The Super Bowl may be over, but the party’s just begun for Bridget Marquardt! Hugh Hefner’s former girlfriend is preparing to launch a costume line this coming Halloween -– and she used testosterone-fueled Dallas last weekend to test out the waters for one of her designs. “I wanted to do something fun and themed but still sexy for the Leather and Laces Super Bowl Party,” she told PEOPLE. “I designed a cute football inspired jersey mesh romper with my name and favorite number silk screened on the back. Once it was done, I hand bedazzled it with thousands of Swarovski crystals and shoes to match.  A couple of matching layered leg warmers because of all the snow in Dallas and a football purse and the outfit was complete!” The blonde bombshell cohosted the Leather & Laces party the night before the big game with fellow former The Girls Next Door star, Holly Madison. Tell us: What do you think of Bridget’s design? Are you interested in her costume line? – Hana Choi

Hollywood fashion rebel Rihanna is taking the name of her debut scent Reb’l Fleur to heart, flaunting two boldly different sides of herself in her first commercial for the fragrance. Kicking off the video (below) surrounded by a sea of feathered petals, Rihanna quickly leaves her soft side behind, stepping through a mirror into a sensual world on the other side. This extended version of the ad premieres today on MTV’s The Seven–but look out for a shorter ad to make its big-screen debut before the summer blockbusters in movie theaters around the country. Tell us: What do you think of Rihanna’s fragrance commercial?–Kim Peiffer
