Fact: No Perfumes Are More Popular or Sell Faster Than These 20

Le Labo Santal 33 has officially reached iconic status. In fact, it became so popular that the New York Times even wrote a story on how the entire city appeared to be wearing it. I can totally see its allure and why it's one of the best-selling scents in Liberty London. Sandalwood is the key note, accompanied by spicy and musky notes of cardamon and leather.

Diptyque makes so many incredible fragrances, but this is one of its most popular perfumes. Eau de Send embodies the orange tree—not just the sweet yet bitter notes of the fruit, but the powdery orange blossom and the herbaceous scent of the leaves and tree itself.

Like Le Labo Santal 33, this is another fragrance that deserves its own moment. Its only note is molecule Iso E Super, which smells a little bit different on everyone, but it makes you smell really good. "Iso E Super is one of those skin-sexy scents that makes you want to nestle into it. It's comforting, cocooning," says perfumer Geza Schoen of the scent. I'll take two bottles, please.

If you're a fan of amber and rose, then you'll adore Portrait of a Lady. Far from frivolous or powdery, this scent is grown-up, mature and sultry. Each 100ml bottle contains 400 Turkish roses as its hero note, but the sandalwood, patchouli and clove shine through. It's the type of fragrance that really pulses off the skin and will have everyone in your vicinity dying to know what you're wearing.

This is one of Byredo's most well-known scents. For me, it smells almost a bit too light and breezy—I have to try quite hard to smell it on my skin. But I know many love it for an easy, breezy, everyday perfume. The pine note is most noticeable (think walking in a fir-lined forest on the crispest winter's day) followed by subtle amber, sandalwood and an uplifting pinch of citrus.

You'll know doubt have heard of this fragrance somewhere or other, and if not, you've most definitely smelled it unknowingly. It went viral on TikTok as one of those fragrances that makes you smell utterly rich and unbothered. What does rich and unbothered smell like, I hear you ask? Think jasmine, saffron, cedarwood and ambergris. It's divine.

Baccarat Rouge is so popular, in fact, that its next best-selling fragrance is actually the more intense Extrait de Parfum—just in case you want to smell extra, extra luxurious. It smells just like the original but turned up an extra notch for more longevity and intensity.

If you want a fragrance that makes its way into the room before you do, then this has to be it. The sultry heaviness is balanced out by sweet nutmeg and comforting lavender. 

It would not be a list of best-selling perfumes without Chanel No5. Possibly one of the most iconic scents of all time, it's also one of the top sellers. Its powdery scent reminds me of a luxurious vanity table with a vase of jasmine, rose and lily-of-the-valley on its countertop. 

If you're looking to tap in to a powerful mindset, then it doesn't get much better than Creed Aventus for Her. It was inspired by powerful female figures throughout history such as royalty, artists and writers, and it's based on the best-selling counterpart in the men's collection. Apple notes open this scent, paving the way for radiant rose and ylang-ylang before settling into a moodier base of sandalwood, musk and ambergris.

Picture this: You're dozing on a gently swinging hammock underneath sun-dappled orange grove. In a daze from the sun, you take a sip of the coldest Fanta lemon clinking with ice. To me, that sums up Sundazed. As well as being a zesty fragrance, it also has a hint of a sunscreen scent about it, which only helps tap into those happy holiday memories. 

The name really does say it all. So many notes come through in this scent, but in a beautifully composed way. It's woody yet aromatic and unusual. "We're in the business of bottling up emotions," said Ben Gorham, founder and creative director of Byredo. "I hope that people read the label and identify with that sentiment in its simplest form, and then find something deeper to relate to: the juxtaposition between the familiar and the unfamiliar."

Another of Net-a-Porter's fragrance best sellers is this nifty little discovery set. Le Labo's fragrances don't come cheap, so if you want to try some of its most iconic scents, you can try five of them for £25. 

Aside from Santal 33, this is another of Net-a-Porter's best sellers from Le Labo. Thé Noir 29 plays on the notes of black tea, which is woody yet spicy and fresh. Just my cup of tea.

There isn't a member of the Who What Wear team who doesn't love Jo Malone London—there's a scent for every mood and taste. I'm a big fan of its cologne-intense collection, which is slightly punchier than its core collection of scents. This discovery set has five of them, including Scarlet Poppy, Velvet Rose & Our, Our & Bergamot, Cypress & Grapevine and my personal favourite, Myrrh & Tonka.

This is a scent that transports you directly to the beach. Inspired by the sun-drenched beaches, it smells of caramelised vanilla, sea salt, toasted macadamia nut, white chocolate and coconut blossom. Better yet, the Brazilian name "Cheirosa" means someone who smells really, really good. I'm stocking up.

This scent was initially a limited edition fragrance in collaboration with Another Magazine. However, it proved to be so popular that it now has a permanent place alongside the rest of the fragrance collection. Its star notes are Iso E Super and ambroxan, which has an addictive, musky scent.

If you grew up wearing DKNY Red Delicious, then you'll love this apple-based scent that has become one of Cult Beauty's best sellers. Juicy red apple is the most apparent note of the first spritz, but it mellows down into raspberry blossom and lychee before drying down to a warm vanilla base. If fruity perfumes are your bag, then you'll want to try this.

This is one of my all-time favourites from Byredo, and I know many other editors who share the same sentiment. You absolutely must smell this if you love musky fragrances. It features ambrette, powdery violet, crisp amber and cedarwood, and it lingers on the skin beautifully.

This has so many five-star reviews on Cult Beauty, and while I haven't smelled this scent, I can see its appeal. It's described as a luxurious, layered scent of vanilla, sandalwood, amber resin, cypriol, musk and patchouli. In a nutshell, it's all the favourite fragrance notes rolled into one.
