Actress Halle Berry – who recently released her first fragrance called Halle by Halle Berry – is so determined to smell unique she mixes different scents to create a personalized aroma.

She said: “I’ve always wanted to have my own scent. When I was younger, I never wanted to smell like every other girl in class. Even as an adult, I’d mix different perfumes together.

“Some days it would be great and people would say, ‘Oh, what fragrance is that?’ And I would say, ‘Well, it’s about five different ones!’ ”

When it comes to make-up, Halle is far less adventurous and generally sticks to the same products she’s used for years.

She explained to Britain’s InStyle magazine: “I’ll only follow a new beauty trend if it suits me and works with my skin tone. The most important thing for me is to stay fresh-faced and confident.

“I do try some new things. The only product I stay well clear of is green eyeshadow – it just doesn’t work for me!”
