The Scented Life: All about fragrance

Perfume Superstars: the best selling perfumes of all time!

by Amy on July 10th, 2008

Wow, way to make me work, people!  As part of this week’s contest, I asked for readers to submit their questions about perfume and fragrance.  “True” asked a question that really made me think: What is the best selling perfume of the last ten years?

Well, to start, the best selling perfume of all time is….Chanel #5!  I learned this from BellaSugar.  Surely having Marilyn Monroe coo about your perfume doesn’t hurt.

Another one of the perennial bestsellers on Sephora is Dolce & Gabbana’s Light Blue.   If it had been released ten years ago, I’d put my money on this one, but alas, it’s only been out since 2001!  It’s one of the only fruity-florals I can stand, and it definitely started a trend.  Same with Pink Sugar, which only came out a few years ago.

So, my unofficial answer is: Ralph Lauren Romance.  It came out 10 years ago, and it’s definitely one of the best selling perfumes since then.   Anybody have a problem with that? :)  What’s the perfume that you re-buy over and over, making it a best seller for you?

    I used to love the ads for Miracle. my first college roommate wore it so I associate it with her (she was a very nice girl!)

    Three oldies but they are wonderful: Tatiana, Chloe and Rive Gauche and that is getting harder and harder to find. It’s got such a distinctive personality though!
