I just found out that George Washington's signature cologne was Number Six by Caswell Massey, created in 1772. Sounds lovely:

Beautiful opening notes of citrus, neroli, bergamot & rosemary receive added depth of character with a strong influence of amber; a complex dry-down to rose, musk, and myrrh provides the sophisticated yet restrained conclusion this herbal and citrus scent demands.

What fragrances do or did your favorite celebrity or historical figure wear?

Regardless who it was, I would only want to smell like a historical figure who bathed on a regular basis.

Scents work with body chemistry. What made every mal sniff after my mother caused a comment from my father who had a nose one me - who opened a box of truffles?

My very favorite perfume since the 80's is the one Cher promoted - 'Cher Uninhibited'. Ru Paul's favorite, too. It's been discontinued for a long time but good copies can be found.

my grand wore jungle gardenia and when she was out of that she wore shalimar . I remember one such incident we were headed to church and my aunt was smoking a ciggy and we kids had to smell a mix of shalimar and cigarettes and that was not pleasant . my faves are romance by ralph lauren , rapture by vs and japaneese cherry blossom .

I lost my sense of smell and taste when I had Covid back last Thanksgiving. Mostly back, but perfumes that have synthetic fragrances (which are a lot of them) smell bad to me now. Amusingly, when something smells bad it smells bad the same way. My brain reads it like rancid frying oil.

There was a joke years ago where a guy took a bite of an old old Twinkie and handed it off to a friend that has this taste bad do you? I now do that with my nose…does this smell bad to you?

I miss scent. My neighbor wears scent and it smells fine. It’s just my favorite scents when I put them on me are disgusting. So I have no clue. I wonder if I can get those Jo Malone fragrances here in the US? They sound interesting, I wouldn’t mind trying it.
