It’s safe to say that 2021 is a big year for us. We’ve welcomed so many famous scents on board and on the pulse points, including the leading clean brands revolutionizing the industry. Not to mention all the fragrances that infiltrated the New In category, from the always-in-season-florals, the gourmand temptations, and spicy standouts, to knock-on-wood-gorgeous woody blends and lift-you-up citrus cocktails.
The thing that excites us the most is that we’re only just getting started. So before we announce the big news in the upcoming months, let’s take a moment and think, write, and spray the most popular scents of 2021 (so far).

7 Of The Most Popular Scents, According To Our Scentbirdies:
Oscar De La Renta Alibi
The fragrance that dethroned Versace Bright Crystal Absolu must be something really special, right? Well, calling Alibi special is an understatement and a great injustice to this magnificent perfume. Here’s why:
A bold step from the feminine and delicate scents bearing the de la Renta label, Alibi makes seduction its mission and carries it out in three exquisite moves. Phase one, insert juicy mandarine. Phase two: introduce it to vanilla orchid. Phase three: Invite a lick of praline to the mix, and patiently wait while the three of them forge the best zesty, powdery, and sweet friendship you’ve come across in a very long, long time.
Versace Bright Crystal Absolu
What makes Bright Crystal Absolu a favorite accessory to a whole tribe of people across the globe? Let’s go over the facts: Chilled yuzu and pomegranate are tart and happy together. Raspberry, peony, and magnolia are uplifting, joyous, and make you put on your pink-colored glasses. Musk, mahogany, and amber are warm, cuddly, utterly peaceful, like Groundhog’s Day (the movie) taking place on the happiest day of your life.
Rachel Zoe Fearless
By adding a dose of coconut into its aromatic green opening, Fearless escapes the fresh connotation and turns into a bold, sensual creation that reminds us of summer flings and other fun things. Creamy tuberose and creamier vanilla compete for the sultriest note award, turning the scent more and more gorgeous with each passing moment.
Commodity Rain
Water-drenched verbena, dripping wet bergamot, and lake-born lotus have the responsibility of conveying the refreshing character of the scent. This is not the earthy scent of petrichor after a summer storm, no. This is Rain the purifies the petals in a flower garden and with it, your soul.
Badgley Mischka Sweet Bloom
Here at Scentbird, we call the all-American designer duo Badgley Mischka Midas, because everything they touch, turns to gold. Or, rather, in a best-selling scent that our Scentbirdies can’t get enough of. This time they’ve decided to honor her majesty, the rose, by surrounding the note with juicy and woody accords. The result is a perfume that calls out to you like a bed of roses. Sans the thorns. And with your crush waiting there for you.
Burberry Brit Sheer
Like an all-expenses-paid vacation somewhere far where the wifi is weak and the cocktails are strong, Brit Sheer starts with an exotic lineup of notes that keep getting better and better. Yuzu, litchi, pineapple, followed by think-pink peony, and even more exhilarating musk and woods dry-down. Can we please never go back to reality?
Michel Germain Sexual Noir
Paris as inspiration, strawberry, vanilla, and woody notes are thrown together into the mixer of this master perfumer to intoxicating, unabashedly salacious, and hedonistic effect.
