Fact: No Other Perfumes Are More Popular Right Now Than These 11

December is here, which means the new year is on its way. In my head, that means it's time to swap my perfumes over. Over the years, this has become somewhat of a tradition for me, as I love starting the new year with a new scent. Last year it was Le Labo's Santal 33, and the year before that I went for You by Glossier, as it's the perfect fresh yet comforting fragrance for those cold January mornings. However, this year, I'm not too sure what popular perfume will be on my wishlist. On one hand, I could invest in a classic, luxury fragrance that I know I'll use for years to come, or I could treat myself to an exciting new launch for something a little different that everyone will covet.

To help make my decision a little easier, I decided to look back on the past few months and round up the most popular perfumes of 2024. Let's face it, if everyone else loves these fragrances, then they've got to be worth the investment. I've spent the last few days scouring Google Trends to see which perfumes everyone has been searching for this year, scrolling through TikTok and Instagram to see which scents went viral, and I even reached out to some of my favourite beauty retailers such as Cult Beauty and Space NK to find out which perfumes everyone has been buying. Plus, I spoke to Mona Kattan, founder of KAYALI fragrances, about what notes have been trending this season.

So, if you're a fragrance lover like me, keep on scrolling to see which perfumes came out on top this year. While you're here, why not treat yourself to a new scent to welcome in 2025...
