Naturally, Beyoncé has expensive taste. But even if you don't have Queen Bey's budget, you can smell just as luxe.

If you've ever wondered what Beyoncé smells like, you're not alone — and now we have a hint. It was recently reported that the Alien Superstar picked up a bottle of a certain luxury perfume while in London for the UK leg of her Renaissance tour. Needless to say, we're not surprised by her immaculate taste.

Beyoncé's go-to perfume? According to an anonymous source, her signature scent is Angels' Share by KILIAN Paris, a luxury French parfumier. Rihanna is also reportedly a fan of KILIAN, so you know the brand's fragrances must smell incredible.

KILIAN Paris Angels' Share Eau De Parfum

Sultry and decadent, this cognac-based fragrance smells like an expensive apple pie with notes of oak, Tonka bean, cinnamon, sandalwood and vanilla. Angels' Share is truly unisex thanks to its balance of warm spices and aromatic woods. If you want to turn heads without smelling sickly sweet, Angels' Share is a worthy signature scent.

At $220 for a full-size bottle and $50 for a travel spray, Angels' Share isn't exactly cheap (not that we would expect anything less from the Queen Bey herself). And while we think the stunning fragrance is well worth the high price tag, you might be wondering how to smell similar to Beyoncé on a budget. Lucky for you, we've found a few affordable alternatives to the luxury perfume.
