Reese Witherspoon is a whiz at book recommendations and giving the best advice, but does she have the same authority when it comes to fragrances? I’ve been on a mission to try out every celebrity’s favorite perfume (see my discovery of Rihanna, Taylor Swift *and* Beyoncé for proof), so it’s only right that I check out our favorite Legally Blonde star’s preferred scent.

After some deep internet research (and per a  2016 interview with Harper’s BazaarI learned she loves Aerin Amber Musk, saying, "I don't go anywhere without a spritz.” Nine years later, though, I had to wonder if it still holds up and what, exactly, it's like to smell like Ms. Witherspoon anyway. Here's my honest review of her go-to fragrance.
