Angelina Jolie, daughter love same scent
Ange lina Jolie, 45, and her daughter Zahara, 16 (pictured), love the same scent.
The Maleficent star — who also has Maddox, 19, Pax, 16, Shiloh, 14 and twins Vivienne and Knox, 12, with ex-husband Brad Pitt — has revealed that she and her 16-year-old daughter use the same scented Guerlain lotions.
“Guerlain is really a favourite of mine. Z (Zahara) and I share the perfume products, such as the lotion and the body wash. I love that she and I will remember each other by a smell. Especially as my first memory of Guerlain was the scent of my mother’s powder.”
And she loves that they will always remember each other by smell.
In 2017, the Tourist star paid tribute to her late parent, Marcheline Bertrand, by signing up to be the face of Mon Guerlain perfume.
She said at the time: “It was a brand my mother loved, so I knew it from my childhood. It spoke to her, as it does to me, of beauty, of history, and quality; one of the oldest perfume houses in the world, from France, a country I love and feel connected to.”
Asked about her “considered fashion choices” in an interview with British Vogue, Angelina said: “I invest in quality pieces, and then just wear them to death. Boots, a favourite coat, a favourite purse, I don’t change things often, you know? That’s one of my things.”
Asked if she rewears her favourite pieces to help reduce her carbon footprint, Angelia replied: “We are all trying to figure out what the best way is, but I imagine there will be more and more regulations, and I think that’s the best thing that can happen. Because even a thoughtful consumer can be conned by a good promotion of something that is not in fact good, right?”
She added: “Enjoying your vintage pieces, if you have them, and rediscovering some vintage shops seems like part of the way forward.”
This comes after Jolie said she doesn’t think she is “good” at being a “traditional” parent.
She always knew she wanted a large family, but she has had to adapt to staying at home amid the coronavirus pandemic because she always envisaged a future where they were constantly roaming the world and having adventures.
She said: “I was never very good at sitting still. Even though I wanted to have many children and be a mom, I always imagined it kind of like Jane Goodall, travelling in the middle of the jungle somewhere.
“I didn’t imagine it in that true, traditional sense. I feel like I’m lacking in all the skills to be a traditional stayat-home mom. I’m managing through it because the children are quite resilient, and they are helping me, but I’m not good at it at all.” The Salt actress thinks it’s funny that her children are so protective of her when she is playing outside with them.
When asked if she is happy, Angelina said: “I don’t know. The past few years have been pretty hard. I have been focusing on healing our family. It’s slowly coming back, like the ice melting and the blood returning to my body. But I’m not there. I’m not there yet. But I hope to be. I’m planning on it.”
Since splitting from Brad, Angelina has moved into the former estate of Cecil B DeMille, where she chose to live because the property is just “five minutes away” from Brad, meaning their kids could be close to both parents.
