The Most Popular Fragrances Every Year ( 2004-2026 )

40 famous fragrances ranked by how much the world searched for them on Google, month by month, from 2004 to September 2026. Each month shows the searches of the 12 months before it. Searches, not sales: no fragrance house publishes sales for a single fragrance. Armani Code, the most searched fragrance most years from 2006 to 2016, has no free photo of its bottle, so its bar shows the Armani logo. Measured but not shown, for the same reason: Flowerbomb, Good Girl, Libre, Invictus and a few others; none of them reaches the top 3.
