Another year has passed, it's time to sum up the olfactory world. And it was boiling and sparkling with various compositions. Some fragrances were talked about by almost everyone, from an expert to a fledgling perfume lover . What has the world smelled like in recent months? What scented trends have been set by the cradle of micro- and macro-trends - TikTok? Here's a list of the most interesting fragrances that we've been eager to surround ourselves with in recent seasons, based on the buzz in #PerfumeTok , the TikTok community. Discover the most popular perfumes of 2023.
The most popular perfumes of 2023 – do you have them in your collection?
I spent hours scrolling through TikTok videos looking for real diamonds. I picked out the most valuable ones to show you what the world is crazy about in 2023. And I have no doubt that this craze will continue for many perfumes. And last. Because good perfume is a never-ending story. Perfect story.
Classics to completely new ones. Some fragrances have been given a completely new life thanks to TikTok, thinking that they would already fade into oblivion. Not so fast! The power of TikTok has no limits, as shown by the #PerfumeTok community generating viral sensations in the world of perfumes. TOP 5 sexy fragrances? Here you go. A perfume whose attraction power can be compared to catnip? You can also find such a video.
Ready for a ride full of olfactory sensations? It's a pity that the times of tasting (pleasant!) aromas from the computer screen are still ahead of us. And maybe that's a good thing, because then who would be able to tear us away from him? I don't look into the future anymore, because that's not what this is about - today it's an article about the past, which will definitely define the coming months. Because I have the impression that some of the most popular perfumes of 2023 from this list will appear in many rankings, lists and recommendations of 2024.

We would like to add that the composition of Kilian Love, Don't Be Shy is often copied (similarities could be found, for example, in the limited Zara Barbie ).

What does this list say about trends in the world of perfumes? The most favorite fragrance notes
As you can easily notice, vanilla is the leader in fragrances. It can be felt in a composition in several ways. Most often it is sweet and creamy, but depending on the accompanying accords, it can be smoky, slightly spicy or dry.
In my opinion, the second favorite and desired fragrance note in 2023 was cherry. We feel that she has not said the last word yet - she will be on the podium among the chords, next to vanilla, also in 2024.
In 2023, we were looking for perfumes that would envelop you, be pleasant to wear and create an aura of sensuality around you. The most popular fragrances were dominated by oriental, gourmand and woody compositions.
More and more often we choose unisex fragrances, also known as genderless. After all, the perception of a scent is an individual matter and does not have to be dictated by identity.
That is worth the effort - the premieres of these perfumes caused an explosion of a volcano of emotions
2023 was full of interesting perfume premieres. The world has been waiting for many mainstream fragrances, but the niche has done really well in recent months. And it's still gaining popularity. We move away from clichéd compositions and look for something unique. This is the case with the premiere of Maison Margiela Replica From the Garden .
