Above any other designer perfume brand, House Dior has always had a special place in my heart. After years of hoarding every kind of cotton-candy- or fake-cucumber-scented body spray atop my junior high dresser, Miss Dior Eau de Toilette was my first-ever "big girl" perfume. It was a Christmas gift from my parents, and I was so besotted with the beautiful glass bottle and sparkling floral scent that I was honestly scared to wear it. Eventually, I started spritzing it on before school every day, and it was like a superpower. I selfishly loved that all the boys in seventh grade told me how good I smelled (what can I say—I was 12), and I loved the way it wore off on my gym clothes every other day and permeated my locker. I even went so far as to create a secret stash of those itsy-bitsy sample tubes in my pencil bag so I could surreptitiously reapply before language arts class with my big crush. Over the top? For sure. But it's a really special set of memories for me and, not surprisingly, seeded my eventual obsession with perfume years later. (Another fun fact: I still have the now-empty bottle of Miss Dior, and I keep it at my parents' house for nostalgia's sake.)

I'm pretty sure lots of people have a vivid memory surrounding their first experience with scent, and I know lots of people I love and talk to have equally fond memories of all things Dior—be it Joy, Poison, J'Adore, or Miss Dior, the French brand is known for having created some of the most notable and well-loved perfumes in history. And while the holy-grail status of those aforementioned OGs remains strong, the brand continues to roll out yummy new launches season after season.

Since everyone across the globe adores Dior, I reached out to Dior HQ to see if I could get a top-secret list of its ranked best-selling fragrances. And luckily, they agreed!

Erin has been writing a mix of beauty and wellness content for Who What Wear for over four years. Prior to that, she spent two and half years writing for Byrdie. She now calls Santa Monica home but grew up in Minnetonka, Minnesota, and studied writing, rhetoric, and communication at University of Wisconsin, La Crosse. She studied abroad in Galway, Ireland, and spent a summer in L.A. interning with the Byrdie and Who What Wear family. After graduating from UW, she spent one year in San Francisco, where she worked as a writer for Pottery Barn Kids and PBteen before moving down to L.A. to begin her career as a beauty editor. She considers her day-to-day beauty aesthetic very low-maintenance and relies on staples like clear brow serum (from Kimiko!), Lawless's Lip Plumping Mask in Cherry Vanilla, and an eyelash curler. For special occasions or days when she's taking more meetings or has an event, she'll wear anything and everything from Charlotte Tilbury (the foundations are game-changing), some shimmer on her lids (Stila and Róen do it best), and a few coats of the best mascara-type product on earth, Surratt's Noir Lash Tint.
