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?
Miracle de Lancome. but, as you said, it came on the market less than 10 yrs ago:) soon, then:)
i adore and constantly re-buy two fragrances: Youth Dew and Opium.
Wow, Youth Dew! I love that one and just can’t wear it with my chemistry.
Monica,
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!
My five fragrance loves, plus one:
Burberry (the original)
Calandre
Rive Gauche
Tea for Two
Vetiver (Guerlain)
Chaos (gone but not forgotten)
Hugo Boss – I love it!
Michael Kors hands down. The first time I tried a tester at a store, I thought NO WAY! But I bought it after wearing it 2 hours in the store shopping. It smelled better once it mixed with my natural body chemistry. I have noticed that the longer I have the bottle, the less time it takes to mix. Now it is the only perfume I wear. But I buy a new bottle before my old bottle is out and spray it a few times, then let it sit. I get compliments from everyone on it whether I’m at a romantic dinner, grocery store, work, or at the bar, and even though I am a smoker… they will never know! The best thing is when I was out at a night club with my husband and a DJ pulled me aside after I was sweaty after dancing all night and asked me what I was wearing, when I told him he said he loved Michael for making that fragrance and asked where he could buy some to spray his bed with!
Best of all time must go to hypnotic poison- christian dior- its amazing.
I love Romance by Ralph Lauren. It has been my re-buy over and over since 2001. I’ve received many compliments about it and I think you’ll never go wrong with it.
