Allure has crowned 19 fragrance products in its 2026 Best of Beauty Awards, spanning eaux de parfum, a laundry detergent, and a reed diffuser.
"The beauty of perfume is that when you find one you love, it becomes part of you," the magazine writes of this year's winners. "These 19 picks have your name all over them."
The Category Winners
Best Gourmand Fragrance went to Octavia Morgan Los Angeles Vanillin Supreme Eau de Parfum. Best Musk Fragrance went to By/Rosie Jane Rosie, and Best Solar Fragrance to DedCool Mineral Milk.
In the wood category, Lore Somewhere But Nowhere Eau de Parfum took the prize. Phlur Peach Skin Hair and Body Fragrance Mist won Best Hair and Body Mist.
Tom Ford Beauty claimed a slot with Taormina Orange Eau de Parfum, named Best Citrus Fragrance. D.S. & Durga Debaser In Bloom won Best Floral Fragrance, and Miu Miu Beauty Fleur de Lait took Best Fruity Fragrance.
Aesop won Best Herbaceous Fragrance with Virēre Eau de Parfum. Homecourt Cece Perfume Oil won Best Rollerball Perfume Oil, and YSL Beauty Babycat Reno earned Best Spicy Fragrance.
Noyz Rinse Cycle was named Best Solid Perfume. 19-69 American Psycho took Best Marine Fragrance, and Heretic Black Salt won Best Earthy Fragrance.
Home Scent Winners
DedCool scored a second win with Room + Linen Spray Xtra Milk, named Best Room Spray. Cereria Mollá 1899 Bulgarian Rose & Oud won Best Floral Candle.
Capri Blue Volcano Reed Diffuser won Best Diffuser. Voluspa California Summers took Best Marine Candle, and LAFCO New York Chamomile Lavender Laundry Detergent closed the list as Best Laundry Detergent.
What the List Signals
DedCool's double win — one on skin, one in the home — reflects the blurring line between personal fragrance and home scent across this year's list. Indie labels such as Noyz, Heretic, 19-69, and Lore sit alongside conglomerate-backed brands including Tom Ford Beauty, YSL Beauty, and Miu Miu Beauty, signaling continued shelf space for niche perfumery in mainstream retail.
For beauty buyers, the list functions as a ready shopping guide across price tiers and formats — from solid perfume to detergent — as the 2026 holiday selling season approaches.
