Fragrance Favorites
Adam Lambert is the American singer who rose to fame on American Idol and went on to front Queen on tour. His favorites pair a name from the world of jewelry design with one of the most admired fragrances of the 2000s. Here is what each one is and how to try them.
Favorite Fragrances
- Loree Rodkin

About the Fragrances
Dior Homme launched in 2005 and quickly became a modern classic, famous for putting powdery iris at the center of the composition. Loree Rodkin carries the name of the Los Angeles jewelry designer known for her gothic-inspired pieces, and it is far less widely documented, so smelling it yourself is the best way to judge it. Side by side, the two make an interesting study in polished versus personal.
Wearing It Yourself
Test one fragrance per wrist so you can compare them over the same afternoon. Give each at least a few hours on skin: the first spray tells you far less than the drydown does. Adam Lambert’s picks are a good place to start exploring, but your own chemistry has the final say.
Why it matters
When someone names more than one favorite, the contrast between them says as much as either scent alone. Look for the thread that connects them, and you may find a style worth exploring for yourself.
