Halle Bailey perfume: what scent does the actress wear?

Halle said: "I stole this one from Chlöe, but I didn’t steal the exact one because I got the upgraded one," before adding, "It’s this Valentino that I smelled on Chlöe first, and I was like, What is that? It smells so good, because it smells so sweet and has vanilla tones."

According to Glamour, the Valentino scent Halle was referring to was 'Born in Roma' which boasts notes of jasmine grandiflorum, with bursts of blackcurrant and warm bourbon vanilla. It's designed to be a little edgy and is the perfect day-to-night scent.
