As a lifestyle expert with decades of experience under my belt, I find Claudia Winkleman‘s approach to beauty and personal style nothing short of intriguing. Her unapologetic embrace of bold scents like Yves Saint Laurent Opium EDP is a testament to her confidence and unique sense of self. It’s refreshing to see a public figure who isn’t afraid to eschew trendy, girly fragrances in favor of something more… earthy.
Claudia Winkleman openly shared that she desires a fragrance reminiscent of attraction, as she disclosed the ‘seductive’ perfume she uses to create her preferred aroma
In a recent interview on Wednesday, the 52-year-old television host talked about her favorite scent – the one perfume she always wears – as she shared some of her personal beauty tips
The renowned perfume boasts its allure as an ‘irresistible fragrance for the captivating woman,’ with undertones of Cedarwood Essence, White Musk, and Patchouli
Claudia informed Grazia, “I always choose the classic, aged, brown Yves Saint Laurent Opium EDP. It has a distinctly earthy aroma.”
“This scent is simply amazing! It’s not overly sweet or floral, but rather earthy and slightly rugged – exactly what I don’t want to be associated with feminine scents or fresh-cut grass.”

She added: ‘I don’t want any of that. I want to smell like sex.’
Earlier this year, Claudia disclosed that due to running out of self-tanner during the shooting of The Traitors at Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands, she had to come up with an impromptu solution for maintaining her usual radiance on camera
In simpler terms, during a week of shooting the popular BBC reality show, the presenter acknowledged that she ran out of money unexpectedly and had to resort to using gravy as an improvised solution
She disclosed that the closest item to a fake tan she found in the local stores resembled ‘brown gravy mix’
On BBC1’s Would I Lie to You?, she reminisced about the occasion: “Since I was at the castle, I didn’t have my usual self-tanner with me. So, in a moment of spontaneity, I thought, ‘Why not try something else instead?'”
‘I don’t think I’m allowed to say a brand, but it was gravy granules.
“Previously, I got a sunless tan. It was like episode five, a formal gathering – you’re dressed in tweed, yet nothing more is required. All that’s left is gravy mix.” (This version maintains the original’s implied sense of casual sophistication and light humor.)
‘They came from a shop – there are shops there – and it’s really good. It really works.’


30 years back, while still a student, Claudia confessed to resorting to Bisto and tea bags as an unconventional method for achieving a tan
Viewers on BBC might find it surprising that she resorted to an old, budget-friendly technique during the production of this high-priced television series
Claudia playfully pointed out that having a fake tan is one of the few talents she possesses for television work. She further quipped, “I merely dye myself orange and read from a teleprompter.”
