To celebrate International Fragrance Day this March 21, we’ve rounded up some of the top-rated and most-reviewed fragrances on beautyheaven.
Now, we know picking the most popular option isn’t usually the best way to choose something as personal as fragrance. But throw in some top ratings too and you know there’s got to be something universally likeable there. It’s like plain potato chips or Oprah – very hard to dislike. The most popular perfume might not necessarily be your all-time, holy grail, fave-ever scent but odds are, you’re still going to enjoy wearing it.
