The most popular kind of perfumes are those that give off an aura of florals, from roses to violets. A floral scent is known for giving off a sweet and loving presence! Some of the most well-known floral scents include Gabrielle Chanel and Chloe Love Story, as well as Japanese Cherry Blossom from Bath and Body Works.
Woody Scents

Many people love perfumes that hold an earthy, amber, or oak scent. These notes create a natural and soothing scent, and many companies use woody scents for both genders! Some of the most popular woody perfumes include Terre d’Hermes Pure Perfume, Ralph Lauren, and Twilight Woods from Bath and Body Works.
Citrus Scents

Who wouldn’t want to smell like Beyoncé? This perfume gives off a fierce aura, with the combination of red vanilla-orchid, magnolia, neroli and peach scents all put together. It is one of the best and most well-known celebrity perfumes around, which is not surprising since it’s coming from Queen Bey herself!

Would this list be complete without Chanel No.5? Chanel No.5 is an elegant, beautiful perfume that never goes out of style and has stood against the test of time. Marilyn Monroe once crowned this as the queen of all perfumes when she announced it as her favorite. Some notes, or scents, found in Chanel No.5 include amalfi lemon, jasmine, iris, amber, and vanille.
