Perfume enthusiasts may be surprised to see that, while many of the classics are up there, favourites like Chanel No5 and Dior J'Adore did not make the cut (however if you're still a fan but want to save some money try our go-to Chanel No 5 dupe). However, this may be down to the list being a mix of both masculine and feminine scents.

Sneaking into third place is Versace Eros, a fresh fragrance with top notes of mint, lemon and apple on a base of vanilla, vetiver and cedarwood.

Just missing out on the top spot is Marc Jacobs Daisy, a very light and sweet floral scent  that mixes berries, jasmine and sandalwood.

And in at the top spot is Estée by Estée Lauder, inspired by chandalier light reflected in champagne glass, with notes of jasmine, rose, sandalwood and moss.
