There are some signature fragrances that you can just close your eyes, smell, and be transported back to a place you have been before. Here are 10 iconic perfumes that are timeless classics that will bring you back to special moments.
Miss Dior Eau de Parfum
Miss Dior Eau de Parfum has been around since 1947, enchanting all with its beautiful fragrance. This was a few years after World War II occurred, meaning that there was a need for revitalization. This perfume did just that, by bringing in happiness via its scent. This is also supposed to be the scent of love, so keep that in mind when wearing it.
YSL Beauty Black Opium Eau de Parfum
YSL’s Black Opium mixes the scents of flowers and black coffee. There are also notes of vanilla, orange blossom, patchouli, and white musk. This is a twist on the original Opium perfume that was released in 1977. Black Opium came out in 2014 and still dazzles ten years later.
Chanel No. 5
Chanel No. 5 has been around since 1921. It is known as a classic for a reason! It is timeless in its scent and has only had a few tweaks here and there to its formula. It has notes of jasmine, rose, iris, amber, and patchouli. If you are looking for a scent that works for everyone, look no further than Chanel No. 5.
Guerlain Shalimar
Guerlain’s Shalimar is an enchanting scent that sticks with you after you smell it. It has notes of bergamot, iris, and vanilla. These scents mix to give you an enticing aura that you never knew was possible. The bottle is absolutely stunning, if that isn’t another reason to love this perfume.
Estée Lauder Pleasures Eau de Parfum
Estée Lauder’s Pleasures seems to have a lot of different scents combined to make one fabulous scent. Most of the scents are floral (flowers are in the top, middle, and base notes). The scent is absolutely stunning yet light. Though this might not be one of the oldest perfumes on the list (it came out in 1995), it still has a timeless fragrance that keeps me wanting more.
Dior J’adore
Dior’s J’adore combines floral and fruity scents. There are notes of the Ylang-Ylang and Turkish Damascus Rose which blends nicely with Jasmine Grandiflorum and Jasmine Sambac. It has all the scents that are needed to make a fresh smelling perfume.
YSL Opium Eau de Parfum
You can’t have Black Opium on this list without the OG, Opium. This scent has been around since 1977 and is what I imagine the late 70s and early 80s smelled like. Some of the notes in this perfume are bergamot, mandarin, Lily of the Valley, carnation, patchouli, amber, and vanilla. All these scents flow together to give you a timeless scent!
Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue
Dolce & Gabbana’s Light Blue is known to be a Mediterranean scent (whatever that means). It combines citrus fruit and floral scents, along with warm and woody notes, nicely grabbing our senses. Some of the notes are lemon, Granny Smith apple, and cedarwood. This light and beautiful scent will leave you wanting more.

Marc Jacobs Daisy
Marc Jacobs outdid itself when they created Daisy. If you like a floral and fruity scent, then this is the one for you! It combines wild berries, white violet, jasmine, and sandalwood to give you a sweet fragrance that nourishes your nose. This scent might have launched in 2007, but that doesn’t take away from its classic status! It still shines.
