In 2021, perfume sales skyrocketed by as much as 45 percent, according to reports from market research firm NPD Group, thanks to a boom in demand driven by the pandemic. Many people looked to pick up a slice of affordable luxury during extended periods at home, and fragrance was the easy way to do it. (That's even despite the spike in perfume prices by 15 percent due to the supply chain crisis.) At the same time, this was when TikTok started trending, and pretty soon, #PerfumeTok was born.

Users began recommending their favourite fragrances, popular dupes, and when to wear them. Even TikTok influencers like Addison Rae launched their own fragrance lines. There are even some cult classic scents that have quickly become must-haves after trending on TikTok, regularly selling out every time they hit the shelves.

Let's take a closer look at some of the top trending fragrances that have gone viral on TikTok.

One of the most popular fragrances that has skyrocketed in popularity on TikTok, the Maison Francis Kurkdijan Baccarat Rouge 540 ($325) is constantly sold out despite its hefty price tag. It's a musky perfume with a mix of woody amber florals cut through with a hint of sweetness that makes for a luxurious splurge.

The fact that the Ariana Grande Cloud($44) is constantly flying off the shelves is no surprise given the singer's hold on Gen Z and it's under-$50 price tag. It's classified as a floral-fruity gourmand scent with sweet notes of whipped cream, vanilla, and praline mixed with musk, woody notes, vanilla, pear, lavender and bergamot.

Created by beauty entrepreneur (and huge social media personality) Huda Kattan, the Kayali Vanilla 28 ($118) is an amber vanilla fragrance with notes of vanilla orchid, jasmine, brown sugar, tonka bean, amber, musk, amberwood and patchouli. TikTokers claim it's sweet, easy to wear, and works perfectly for layering.
