The 50 Best Perfumes Of All Time

These iconic scents transcend trends!

Few moods can compare to the uneasiness that comes from feeling less-than confident about the way you smell. Save yourself the stress, and never dash-and-go without a spritz of the perfect perfume! There’s even research that shows physical attraction may be based on smell. With that in mind, it’s no surprise that many of the best perfumes of all time have been around for decades. After all, when it comes to the best, it’s all about the juice — not the trends.

The classic fragrances appeal to a wide demographic, which is why the best-selling perfumes of all time remain consistent year after year. But that’s not to say there aren’t some new, unique options on the list.

Here’s a look at the top 50 perfumes in the world today.

What is the Best Perfume of All Time?

Far and away, the most popular fragrance of all time is Chanel No. 5. But what’s the best perfume of all time? That’s like asking, what’s the best ice cream flavor, or who’s the most beautiful boy in history? While the choice is subjective to say the least, the fragrances below will be on everybody’s list.

1. Lancome La Vie est Belle

La Vie est Belle is not only a Lancome bestseller, but one of the best-rated perfumes of all time. It ranks consistently in the top 10 best perfumes, and it’s a delectable contender for the best perfume of 2021. Fittingly, the French name translates to life is beautiful — and so it is if you spritz on this scent. A favorite for over a decade, this sweet fragrance has good sillage and even better longevity, making it a loyal day-to-night option.

2. Marc Jacobs Daisy

In a flacon that looks as great as its fragrance smells, Marc Jacobs consistently comes out as a favorite with this classic Daisy scent. Daisy has inspired countless spinoffs, but the original remains the tried and true favorite. The feeling it creates is fresh, and the fruity and floral blend perfectly reflects the Daisy name. Notes include blood grapefruit, violet leaf, strawberry, gardenia, jasmine, musk, white woods, and vanilla making for a feminine but sexy creation. In our opinion, this is the best floral perfume of all time.

3. Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue

You might not be able to jetset to Capri, but you can capture Italy in a bottle with this perfect-for-summer scent by Dolce & Gabbana. Possibly the best rose perfume of all time, Light Blue blends fresh, fruity, and floral notes, including citron, lemon, Granny Smith apple, rose, jasmine, cedarwood, bamboo, amber, and musk.

4. Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb

Viktor & Rolf may not be the superstars of the fashion world they once were, but their Flowerbomb fragrance continues to be a top choice in dozens of best perfume for women lists. Launched in 2005, notes of tea, bergamot, orchid, jasmine, rose, freesia, African orange flower, and patchouli make this a true flower bomb, but with sexy undertones thanks to the vanilla-musk base. This is a great first date option, filled with promise and excitement.

5. Chanel Paris-Biarritz

When most people think of the best female perfume in the world, they think of Chanel. While there are countless classics from the brand, an underrated best is their Paris-Biarritz varietal. It’s light enough that you can wear it on its own in the summer, or layer it for something heavier during cooler months. Its year-round appeal is well reflected in the Paris-Biarritz name (Biarritz is a summer destination for many Parisians). The fragrance itself was launched in 2018 as part of the Les Eaux De Chanel collection, which also includes Paris-Deauville and Paris-Venise.

6. Philosophy Amazing Grace

Philosophy‘s Amazing Grace is truly a perfume for all, which is why it makes such a wonderful hostess gift. It’s fresh, feminine, clean, and totally versatile. It’s the brand’s most award-winning fragrance, and you’ll see why when you spray the blend of bergamot, grapefruit, Mandarin orange, freesia, jasmine, rose, and musk. It’s easily one of the world’s best florals.

7. Dior Joy

You’re probably familiar with Dior’s J’adore, which many claim as one of their favorite fragrances of all time. But we’re here to make a case for Dior Joy, because it’s simply dazzling. It’s wonderfully vibrant and one of those special scents that can perk you up when you’re having a bad day. In fact, the blend was designed specifically to encourage happiness and a positive mood with its mix of bergamot, Mandarin orange, jasmine, peach, cassis, white musk, sandalwood, patchouli, and cedar. It succeeds, and oh does it succeed! Dior Joy deserves its reputation as one of the best-rated perfumes of all time.

8. Estée Lauder Beautiful

This daytime fragrance is a true classic. It was launched by Estee Lauder in 1985 and remains one of the world’s best-selling fragrances today. It combines floral with citrus notes for a romantic and light option that works just as well in the office as it does poolside in the Hamptons.

9. Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy

If you ever needed definitive proof that the best fragrances of all time aren’t based on trends, look no further than Juicy Couture’s Viva La Juicy. Juicy is years past its heyday, and yet it still remains incredibly popular. Many consider it the best perfume for girls, but despite the bubble gum packaging it’s quite a sophisticated scent. The gourmand floral shines with notes of wild berries, mandarin, gardenia, honeysuckle, jasmine, caramel, amber, vanilla, sandalwood, and praline.

10. Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium

If you’re in the market for something with a rock-n-roll edge, Yves Saint Laurent’s Black Opium is a spot-on option. Wear this warm gourmand scent after dark. Its blend of black coffee, white flowers, and vanilla are sure to help you stand out. You’ll dazzle no matter how crowded the room where you find yourself. A worthy inclusion on any list of the best perfumes of all time.

11. Thierry Mugler Angel

Many people consider Tierry Mugler’s Angel the best vanilla perfume in the world. It has achieved cult status and is proof positive that sweet scents can be both complex and sophisticated. An elegant choice, Angel was launched nearly 35 years ago. In 2007 it received the FiFi Hall Of Fame Award (one of the highest honors in the fragrance world). Note that a little goes a long way with this mouth-watering scent.

14. Thierry Mugler Alien

It took Thierry Mugler over a decade to create a fragrance that rivals the popularity and appeal of Angel, but in 2005 they did just that when the brand launched Alien. The fragrance is often described as intense, so it’s an ideal choice for someone vying for attention. The juice inside its black obelisk is a blend of white amber, woodsy notes, and jasmine. Easily one of the best perfumes of all time.

15. Tom Ford White Suede

This year-round after dark scent is as sexy as it gets. If you’re looking to attract a suitor of any gender, it’s impossible to fail with this intoxicatingly-delicious Private Blend from Tom Ford. This woody scent is all about the musk (if there’s one thing to know about Tom Ford fragrances, it’s that the designer loves musk). Just remember that a little goes a long way with this long-lasting fragrance.

This “ladies who lunch” scent is an update on Hermes’ Caleche, with its intoxicating blend of grapefruit, narcissus, lily-of-the-valley, rose, mimosa, tuberose, leather, and iris. It’s unique and well-blended, suiting it to be your signature daytime scent. This versatile fragrance works equally well year-round.

17. Versace Bright Crystal

Leave it to Versace to master blending sensuality with youthful exuberance. The master perfumer does it oh-so-well with Bright Crystal, a fresh and fruity scent.

20. Byredo Slow Dance Eau de Parfum

Byredo‘s Slow Dance is another exquisite blend of woody and sweet. It works best for cooler weather with its blend of violet, patchouli, cognac, geranium, and vanilla. The cognac adds a boozy touch at the opening, which will leave you feeling nostalgic for your teenage slow-dance years. The scent then settles with more feminine notes like violet, earning its reputation as one of the best perfumes of all time.

21. Frederic Malle Lipstick Rose Perfume

This rose fragrance by Frederic Malle stays true to its name with powdery, vintage lipstick vibes. If you want to feel like a pin-up model or play with boudoir moods, this sexy and provocative scent will get you tingling. Notes of grapefruit, rose, violet, iris, vanilla, musk, amber, and vetiver give it a sexy, powerful mood.

22. Calvin Klein Eternity

Eternity Perfume by Calvin Klein

Designed as a tribute to his marriage, Calvin Klein launched eternity in 1988. Decades later, it’s still associated with the storied brand. The clean, green, crisp scent blends freesia, sage, citruses, Mandarin orange, carnation, lily, violet, rose, musk, sandalwood, amber, and patchouli in its juice. It works equally for spring and summer, thanks to its head-turning sillage and longevity.

This namesake fragrance was the first scent from Jimmy Choo, one of the world’s best known shoe brands. In a bottle designed by then creative director Tamara Mellon, Jimmy Choo has sweet, fruity, and green notes that work seamlessly together. While there’s nothing earth-shatteringly unique about this spring-summer scent, it has a wide, magnetic appeal. It works beautifully day-to-night (though the longevity may require some re-applying) and makes a wonderful hostess gift.

Recommended related fragrances: Madame Rochas By Rochas, Boucheron Place Vendome By Boucheron, Dune By Christian Dior

24. Elizabeth Arden White Tea Vanilla Orchid

One of the best vanilla perfumes you’ll find is White Tea Vanilla Orchid from Elizabeth Arden. It’s made with an unsweetened, soft vanilla, rounded out with musk in the drydown. The scent is both comforting and feminine, which is why many women have opted for it as their signature fragrance since its 2019 launch.

25. Gucci Bloom

A floral scent with a powdery edge, Gucci Bloom blends notes of jasmine, tuberose, and rangoon creeper. True to its name, Gucci creative director Alessandro Michele, who spearheaded the scent, had a lush garden full of diverse plants and flowers in mind when he conceived it. To reach his lofty floral aspiration, he worked in close concert with Alberto Morillas, the nose behind the scent. This isn’t the most complex perfume from the brand, but it’s approachable, perfect for summer, and mainstream enough to make it one of the best perfumes of all time.

26. Givenchy Very Irresistible

This scent was conceived to reflect the special friendship between brand founder Hubert de Givenchy and the iconic actress Audrey Hepburn. In keeping with Hepburn’s timeless and glamorous aesthetic, Very Irresistible is a year-round, feminine scent that puts rose front-and-center. If you’re in the market for something classy, with moderate sillage and lasting power, this should be a top pick.

27. Jean Paul Gaultier By Jean Paul Gaultier

The bodice-shaped bottle that this juice comes in is as iconic as the Jean Paul Gualtier scent itself. In fact it has inspired countless iterations, but none hold the same high appeal as the sweet, amber, floral original. This is a great option when you’re going to a crowded space (like a party or a concert) and looking to stand out. This memorable scent conveys an uncommonly strong projection.

28. Fendi Furiosa

The eye-catching bottle of Furiosa was designed by jewelry designer Delfina Delettrez, who is part of the Fendi family. It’s a worthy display piece to hold the floral-oriental juice, with notes of pink pepper, bergamot, wallflower, gardenia, jasmine, and amber. The complex scent starts flowery and fresh, but soon after becomes a little spicy and aromatic (no fury about that here!) suiting it as a nighttime favorite.

Better yet, despite being airy, the eau de toilette performs like an eau de parfum when it comes to sillage and longevity.

It opens dry and aromatic before turning sweet and powdery, tied together with beautiful musky undertones. Wisteria & Lavender is a great unisex option for everyday life.

35. Dior J’Adore Absolu

Even though it’s a relatively new launch, many consider J’Adore Absolu the best-smelling perfume from Dior. While it isn’t a budget buy, it is a luxury fragrance that smells like luxury. It also proves that when you use top-quality ingredients, you don’t need a long list of notes. A few clean, quality hits here create a complex scent with high appeal. Close your eyes and you’ll feel as though you’re in a garden surrounded by lush magnolia trees.

36. Hermes Charming Twilly d’Hermes

The list of the best fragrances of all time would be incomplete without Charming Twilly d’Hermes. While its juice is to die for, we can’t help but highlight how fun it is to have this bright and festive bottle on one’s vanity. This scent’s recent launch attempted to capture a younger demographic, but Hermes will never sacrifice sophistication. It’s a great weekend brunch scent with notes of ginger, bitter orange, tuberose, jasmine, sandalwood, and vanilla.
