I think the reason to why there are no more iconic perfumes in the past 15 years is because the market is flooded.
We have drugstore perfumes, designer house perfumes, niche perfumes etc.
They all compete with each other and
honestly many of them smell the same since they try to followthe exact same scent trands, it's hard to get surprised. :)
Another reason might be the instant culture we live in - customers might get bored really easily and move on to the next thing, perfume in the end of the day is no longer a real luxury.

My grandmother wore 4711 cologne and as a child I adored the smell. My daughter recently bought a bottle and it instantly transported me back to days spent with my darling grandmother 🥰

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue has the potential to be iconic - I can always recognise it as it's got a really unique fragrance.

I grew up in the 80s and that was a great decade for perfumes. Fashion magazines came in the mail reeking of gorgeous perfumes. It gave the magazine experience another dimension that is sadly missing now. But the fragrances of the 80s are the most significant for me: obsession, giorgio, red door, coco, fendi, poison by dior

Justine, i am not fashion guy... I teach literature (Russian literature particularly). I was interested in french fashion many months ago, and subscribed. However, I keep watching your videos. And I must say that it's just a pure delight to see how passionately you tell stories. Thank you for the video😍

Now we need a post pandemic psychological relief perfume... Which should not smell like a hand sanitizer, so to say. 😔

My mother wears L'air du Temps and I cannot imagine her without that perfume. It also lasts forever. Sometimes my mother would pass me something of her clothes and even after two - three washes it still had this scent. I'm 42 and as long as I remember myself, this fragrance always follows her.

My introduction to high-end fragrance came sometime in the 60s when my brother bought me a bottle of Chanel No. 5 when I was 18. I wore that fragrance for years until I discovered Bill Blass in the 80s and I loved that fragrance so much. I used to get THE question all the time, "What are you wearing?" I think BB didn't become a classic because not enough was put into the marketing over the years. I think I remember Catherine Deneuve being the face of BB, but I could be wrong. I thought of it as the face of the classic woman. I now wear Marc Jacobs' Daisy Love and at age 73, I think it may be my final choice (took me a very long time), but who knows what I may discover in my 90s.

Shalimar is actually named after the Indian queen, Mumtaz Mahal. The garden are also named after her, shalimar means 'moonlight' in hindustani and shalimar was a name given to the Indian queen, who was supposed to be the epitome of Femininity, the Taj Mahal was also made in her honor and the monument also a symbol of femininity

@rosarosa8593 4 years ago

Mutsouko, L'Here blue, Vol de Nuit, Climate, Magie Noir, Jicky , Private Collection...

@LOBISMULLER 4 years ago

I thought flower bomb bottle was ment to look like a grenade... And I think maybe Narciso Rodriguez for her was very innovative and iconic, I could recognize it everywhere, same as Chloé.

Am I the only one that hits LIKE button even before she watched Justine's videos?

@eugeniabraz5409 4 years ago

Now that I have educated myself a bit more on fragrances, I believe what marks the last 10 to 15 years is the rise of the niche houses. People crave a more exclusive scent and are willing to pay for the privilege of smelling different. One fragrance that comes to mind is Baccarat Rouge 540 by Maison Francis Kurkdjian. Abstract, exclusive and distinctive. ❤️

@katarzynaelzbieta8621 2 years ago

For the present times I would say, baccarat rouge 540 is making its history. Wheter you like it or not it's a phenomenon that a niche fragrance got so much attention worldwide

@the_dark_forest 4 years ago

Just for clarification, the Viktor & Rolf Flower Bomb is actually inspired by a hand grenade, not a diamond (that would be Wish by Chopard).
Great information Justine. Fun and interesting. Thank you

@emily7198 4 years ago

I love Mon Guerlain. The history of Guerlain is super Interesting and I agree Shalimar definitely deserves the iconic title.

@curiousman1672 4 years ago

I'm a relatively old man, so my comment comes from that vantage point. Something that I've fascinating thru my adult years, is the emotional impact of perfume, and, similarly, how a scent can make a statement about the wearer. For example, the first four of your list are instantly likeable and attractive. The remainder, far less so. I have quite a disdain for CK1 and J'Adore. The first four say, "yes, stay by me", whereas some of the others, "ummm, go away". In no way am I saying other's experience the same thing that I do. Obviously, many people love CK1. I do wonder if they like it for the scent, or for what the scent represents, by way of marketing.

@mariasteinbrecher4146 4 years ago

I guess Alien is now over 15 years old, and young 18-year-old girls still love it. If they think of Mugler, they think of that before they think of Angel. I missed that one (Even if I like Angel more)

@lamenzies 4 years ago

For me, Shalimar and Chanel No 5 always and forever. I also think Clinique Aromatics deserves an honorable mention.

@fredrika27 4 years ago (edited)

You forgot 4711 which was first produced in 1799! It's still selling despite not being as expensive as Chanel and had a large range of both affordable and exclusive products!
