Claudia Winkleman, well-known for her roles as a host on Traitors and Strictly Come Dancing, recently shared her love for a particular perfume. However, her approach to selecting a scent is quite unique. Claudia wants to smell like sex, and she has found the perfect perfume to achieve that desired aroma - the Yves Saint Laurent Opium EDP. This emblematic fragrance has a spicy and floral trail that has been described as a symbol of addiction since its creation. Claudia herself simply calls it "pure filth."
Despite her husband Kris Thykier being in the picture, Claudia doesn't need to get between the sheets with him every time she needs a top-up of her signature scent. She just spritzes on a bit of the YSL Opium and she's good to go. In fact, this has become her go-to perfume, the only one she uses. And while YSL may not add her description of "pure filth" to their marketing campaign anytime soon, Claudia stands by her choice.
Speaking to Grazia, Claudia revealed that she prefers the classic, old, brown bottle of the YSL Opium. She loves its musky and dirty scent, and doesn't want to smell girly or like she's just walked through a meadow. No, she wants to smell like sex. In her own words, she wants to be "orange, black eyes, tipp-ex mouth."
Claudia is unapologetic in her approach to beauty, describing her signature look as "orange, black eyes, tipp-ex mouth." She even goes to extreme lengths to maintain her fake tan, using Bisto granules and old tea bags. But she doesn't care about what she looks like, as she shared on Elizabeth Day's podcast. She wants to stay true to herself and not conform to societal beauty standards.
But Claudia's signature look isn't the only thing she's known for. Her shiny brunette long bob and full fringe are also enviable, with some people willing to give up their spleen just to have it. However, when she was offered the role of host on Strictly Come Dancing in 2014, BBC Television Executive Danny Cohen had a slight issue with her fringe. He wanted it to be shorter, saying that it was too long and made her "invisible" on television. But Claudia didn't mind, as she believed that the show was bigger than her and she was just a small part of the machine.
Claudia, who is married to Kris Thykier, also opened up about her teenage daughter Matilda's approach to beauty. While she herself is not on TikTok, Matilda is a pro at applying makeup and getting tips from tutorials. Claudia is amazed at her daughter's skills and even jokes that she doesn't even look like she's wearing makeup. But for Claudia, she prefers a bold look and often compares herself to Alice Cooper. She admires the younger generation's knowledge of beauty and makeup, but she's also okay with not being an expert herself.
In exciting news, Strictly Come Dancing is set to return to iPlayer and BBC One on Saturday, September 14th. So make sure to tune in and witness Claudia's iconic style and hosting skills once again.
