Lewis Hamilton’s $610 Perfume Sends Shockwaves at the GQ Creativity Awards: “You’re Smelling Good”

Lewis Hamilton today is not only a Formula 1 driver, he is also a fashion icon with Red Carpet entries to look out for. He is often found at high-profile events like award functions for which he is often a nominee. While most of the award’s he has received are for his achievements in Formula 1, he was recently invited to a lifestyle and fashion award function.

The GQ Creativity Awards is the annual function where the magazine felicitates personalities for their creative achievements. Lewis Hamilton was invited to the function held on April 11 and that’s where he mesmerized the host with more than just words. It was another sense that the 7-time world champion targeted and impressed.

Lewis Hamilton’s choice of fragrance

They say, A perfume is no less than a way of letting people build an image of you. This is something Lewis Hamilton has understood along his journey to stardom. Known for his fashion sense, the Mercedes driver leaves nothing behind when it comes to representing himself for who he is. He does this with a range of ways to express himself and fashion is one of them. But you need to smell as good as you look to leave an impression and an impression is what he left at the GQ Creativity Awards.

While talking to two hosts, Hamilton was dressed in his long pinstripe Dior overcoat, and this got him a compliment from one of the hosts. However, the compliment stated, “You’re smelling good, Lewis,” which hints that the host liked the F1 racer’s scent. Hamilton is now known to have a signature look and appeal, and he carries that on with his perfumes too. The scent he was wearing was no ordinary perfume, but a mix of Tom Ford Oud Wood eau de parfum and Maison Margiela.

This combination costs him a whopping $610 for the mix. The Tom Ford sets him back $445 for 100 ml, while the Margiela comes at $165 for another 100 ml. This combination is what the 100+ GP winner likes to wear to compliment his style. But obviously, his attire did turn some heads, as he was theoretically shirtless.

Lewis Hamilton: Shirtless in Dior

Lewis Hamilton is not scared of pushing boundaries with his driving and with his fashion. This year at the GQ Purple Carpet, he made a bold fashion statement by going shirtless underneath a long pinstripe Dior coat. The coat is from the 2024 Fall/Winter collection, showcasing Hamilton’s unique sense of style but he did not carry this out without some bling.

Hamilton accessorized the outfit with a diamond chain, which complemented the silver beaded detailing on the coat’s waist. He paired the coat with black trousers and with his signature scent, he was ready to slay. His fashion comes at a price that might be too much for many, but that’s just Lewis Hamilton and how he rolls.
