Sometimes, when we stumble upon a perfume, we know it's a special one if it takes us back to a specific time or place. Welsh actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, who is known for her elegance and beauty, has revealed her favourite fragrance that does exactly that - and it can be bought from high-end retailers.
The actress and singer, known for starring in Chicago and The Legend of Zorro, revealed in an interview with Glamour back in 2021 that one of her favourite scents was Tom Ford Jasmin Rouge.
As it suggests in the name, the perfume contains Jasmine, which, according to the actress, "evokes such wonderful memories for [her]".
During the interview, Catherine said: "We have a lot of jasmine around the property in Mallorca, and I always take my last swim as the sun is going down. That's when the jasmine really starts to flourish and you can smell it."

A 50ml bottle of Tom Ford Jasmin Rouge could cost you in the range of £188.70 to £222 from retailers such as John Lewis, Selfridges and from the Tom Ford website.
The Tom Ford scent is described as 'voluptuous', 'sensuous' and 'audacious', combining the 'unexpected blend' of Jasmine with sage and spices.
Tom Ford Jasmin Rogue comes in a deep red bottle with a gold front, which evokes glamour. It's easy to see why a Hollywood star like Catherine Zeta-Jones loves a scent like this. For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter .

The NOU Jasmin Perfume for Women EDP 50ml, for example, was £27.10 but is now £11.20 at Superdrug, providing a £15.90 saving for beauty enthusiasts. The NOU Jasmin Perfume combines 'captivating' jasmine notes for a 'floral and alluring scent that lasts' according to the retailer.
While there are no reviews of the perfume on Superdrug's website, there are on Amazon's site, which is currently selling the perfume for a marginally higher price of £12.99. So far, NOU Jasmin Perfume on Amazon has received a rating of 3.6 out of five stars based on 64 global reviews.
"Love the fragrance," one happy reviewer said. "Exactly Jasmin smell. If you compare this to south India wedding, this smell you will get commonly as Jasmine flower we use in wedding for decorations/ for hair etc".
But not everyone was pleased with the perfume and gave it a three-star rating. They reviewed: "Smells nice and a bit like jasmine but the perfume doesn't last long". However, another customer said it had a "very gentle scent", while another said it was "perfect".
Elsewhere, those looking for a jasmine scent for a decent price could also purchase the Yardley English Jasmine Eau de Toilette 125ml from Boots, originally priced at £18 but now £6 cheaper at £12. The Boots fragrance has a floral scent, with notes of lemon and mandarin, mixed with 'delicate' notes of calamondin and frangipani, which complements the rich floral jasmine scent.
The fragrance has received a rating of 3.9 out of five stars and 29 reviews. One customer was seemingly happy with their purchase and reviewed: "The scent is sooooooo good the citrusy floral scent just captures you.
"The scent last long for about 3 hours and I love the packaging as it gives a rich look. It is also very cheap and worth the money and also love the fact that it is vegan friendly so I can recommend to my vegan friends".
Like Catherine Zeta-Jones, this perfume evoked memories for one shopper. In their review, they penned: "Yardleys is a brand that reminds me of my Grandma, yet it's a brand I have grown to love over the years.
"This scent is beautiful, not too strong that it overpowers the room but fresh enough. I have been wearing this perfume for the last month and have had several compliments.
"This is a brand I have bought before and will definitely continue to buy. This product is value for money and I've even heard this particular scent be compared to Gucci. The packaging is good quality as well as a well made bottle."
But the perfume didn't suit everyone. One shopper claimed: "The perfume isn't as strong as others nor does it last as long as I would have liked it to, the scent doesn't resemble jasmine, it's more like a wood smell, however the size of the bottle is good value for money, + it's vegan so it works well for a wider range of people".
However, other customers were of a different view. This reviewer said: "I absolutely love Yardley London English Jasmine Eau de Toilette! The scent is fresh, floral, and beautifully delicate, making me feel elegant and confident every time I wear it.
"It has the perfect balance—light enough for everyday use but still long-lasting. The jasmine notes are so natural and refreshing, not too overpowering, just the right amount of sophistication.
"The packaging is also lovely, simple yet classy. Plus, I appreciate that it's made with 94% natural ingredients and is vegan & cruelty-free. It's truly one of my favourite fragrances!"
Catherine Zeta-Jones isn't the only one to love Tom Ford Jasmin Rogue. While there are no reviews on the Selfridges and Tom Ford website, on John Lewis's website, the perfume has received a rating of five out of five stars based on eight reviews.
One customer said: "My favourite perfume. The scent lasts forever and reminds me of hot summer nights."
Another described it as "truly amazing and unique". And while one praised it as "refreshing and lasting", they had an issue with one thing.
They added: "Absolutely love it. It's expensive but well worth it. However, not sure about the bottle's design, could do better; the bottle is masculine looking whereas the scent is delicate."

Welsh Learner of the Year named at Wrexham Eisteddfod
Lucy Cowley, who lives in Llangollen but is originally from Is-y-Coed, Wrexham, received the honour during a ceremony on the Pavilion stage on Wednesday, August 6. Ms Cowley said: "I'm very proud. "I never thought I'd win and to do that in Is-y-Coed is fantastic. "I'm very emotional, there's no word to describe how I feel. "Winning this means the world to me. "I live locally and work locally but I didn't feel like I fit in. "I speak with an English accent and I didn't speak Welsh. "People didn't understand why I was learning Welsh but I'm so glad I did." Her grandfather was a refugee from Poland, and her grandmother from Ukraine. Though she had some exposure to Welsh at school, she did not feel confident using it until later in life. A teacher at Holt School, Ms Cowley rediscovered her passion for the language through her work with children. She enrolled in Welsh courses and began incorporating the language into her teaching, eventually using Welsh resources in the classroom. She said she plans to continue her studies and hopes to start offering jewellery-making classes in Welsh. Ms Cowley said: "And we will have something to discuss in the next discussion group." She also set up a Welsh discussion group in Llangollen, which brings together people from diverse backgrounds—some new to the language, others hoping to regain confidence in speaking Welsh. The Learner of the Year Trophy was donated by Spencer and Jeni Harris, and Ms Cowley also received a £300 prize from Ann Aubrey.

In addition to her work in education, Ms Cowley also designs jewellery and previously ran a stall at the Llŷn and Eifionydd Eisteddfod.

Khamzat Chimaev issues five-word response to White House fight speculation
Khamzat Chimaev has played down the idea that he could fight at a potential UFC event at the White House, making a self-deprecating joke about his chances. US president Donald Trump recently said he would like to stage a UFC fight card at the White House in 2026, to celebrate the 250th anniversary of his country. That led to a number of top stars expressing their desire to be involved, including Conor McGregor, who has not fought since 2021, and a man seen by some fans as the greatest fighter of all time: Jon Jones, who said he could reverse his recent retirement to compete at the White House. Yet Russian star Chimaev did not exactly throw his own name in the hat, when asked about the prospect on Wednesday (6 August). 'Bro, look at my face,' Chimaev told MMA Junkie playfully. He added: 'I don't think they would let me come or whatever.' Chimaev, 31, is widely considered one of the scariest talents in the UFC, and after suffering from injury and illness in recent years, he will finally challenge for a title on 16 August. The 'Wolf' will face middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis in the main event of UFC 319 in Chicago, and he hinted that Trump might have helped him to get a Visa. The unbeaten Chimaev last fought in the US in 2022, and his two fights since then have taken place in Abu Dhabi. Rumours long circulated that the Russian was unable to travel to the US, and he said on Wednesday: 'This wasn't my bad, wasn't my fault. 'Everyone knows I didn't have a Visa to the US, that's why I didn't fight [there]. So now, Donald Trump, he heard, so we go for a fight.' Trump is close friends with UFC president Dana White, who said he is eager to bring a potential White House fight card to life.

BBC presenter 'showed penis picture' to junior staff member in fresh scandal
A top BBC presenter reportedly showed a young staff member a picture of a penis, leaving the person 'horrified' and 'in tears' The BBC has reportedly been hit with another scandal with a top female presenter alleged to have shown a 'penis picture' to a junior member of staff - leaving them in tears. The star is alleged to have revealed an image of a man's penis on her phone during a casual conversation where she asked the producer if she "liked d*** pics". Insiders claim the star, who is listed among the BBC's 50 highest-paid employees, asked the young staff member an inappropriate question before showing the picture. The young producer was said to have been "horrified and in tears" over the encounter. It is unknown whose private parts were in the picture. Bosses were alerted about the encounter, and the presenter was brought into a private meeting where she was told to apologise for her actions. READ MORE: MasterChef's Gregg Wallace 'ruins' chance of redemption after 'slipping at first hurdle' The crisis has been described as a "ticking time bomb" by staff at the BBC, fearing there could be a widespread fallout if the presenter's identity became public. A source claimed to The Sun: 'This incident goes beyond ordinary workplace banter. The staff member felt intimidated and upset, believing the act was meant to shock under the guise of a joke. "There's a sense that if this had involved a male presenter, the repercussions would have been immediate and severe. The fact that it's a woman at the centre of this makes the situation even more striking.' The insider claimed the conversation was meant 'to be jokey, locker-room type banter' but it resulted in the young producer crying about it. A BBC spokesperson said: 'While we do not comment on individual cases, we take all complaints about conduct at work extremely seriously.' The BBC have been hit with a number of scandals in the last year, with the axing of a number of Strictly Come Dancing stars over their behaviour as well Gregg Wallace and John Torode being fired from MasterChef in recent weeks. The BBC also came under fire for their coverage of Glastonbury Festival. This year Welsh presenter Wynne Evans was axed from his radio job at the BBC over allegations about his conduct. The One Show host Jermaine Jenas was also sacked by the corporation for sending inappropriate messages to two female colleagues. Meanwhile, Huw Edwards pleaded guilty to having indecent images of children and was spared jail when he admitted three charges of 'making' indecent photographs after he was sent 41 illegal images by a convicted paedophile over WhatsApp. The former BBC presenter was handed a six-month prison sentence suspended for 24 months. He was also placed on the sex offenders register for seven years. The Mirror have reached out to the BBC for comment.
