There are few celebrities with a comparable star status who can match the fame of the Brit – the same applies to her popularity. People around the world still celebrate the former Crown Princess, who was married to the British heir to the throne, Prince Charles, from 1981 to 1996. She was loved and adored, not least because of her warm, heartfelt and helpful nature. The Princess of Wales was also already considered an absolute style icon at the time and, 25 years following her tragic death, continues to serve as a source of inspiration for fashion and hairstyling. Another exciting fact regarding Lady Di is her choice of fragrance. Of course, the princess also demonstrated the highest sense of style and relied on distinctive yet unobtrusive perfumes that not only tell a story, but also convey an attitude towards life.
