Knowing which is the best-selling perfume in history is no easy task, since the origins of the world of perfumery date back to the time of the Egyptiansand Ancient Greece. So imagine how many—not thousands, but millions—fragrances have been created since the dawn of humanity.
Although it is true that many centuries had to pass before it was considered a product for commercial purposes. It was in the 16th century that the Italian perfumer Giovanni Maria Farina created what is considered the world's first commercial perfume, Eau de Cologne.
But, of course, this is not the best-selling perfume, as the perfume industry only gained real prominence in the last century, when fragrances became true objects of desire.
Around 200 new fragrances are launched on the market every year, so the perfumes we present below are truly remarkable. Not only have they stood the test of time, but they are considered the most successful: they are the best-selling perfumes in the world.
