Hi All,
In the professional world, perfumes are judged by many different criteria, like a work of design or product and not at all whether an individual likes the smell or not. The criteria can be originality, composition (depth, harmony of accords, quality of ingredients, quality of blending) etc. It is a very complex chemical process so the end result must pass a lot of these tests. I study and review fragrances for a hobby and get them published on perfume related websites.
There isn't a single best perfume in the world, as perfumes belong to several groups that you cannot compare with one another e.g. oriental or floral or a mixture of both. So they are rather judged by the criteria mentioned above.
Off the top of my head, here's a list of 10 perfumes that I have reviewed, all of them got the highest marks from me for originality, composition etc.
(Just a quick list, not an order of preference and there may well be hundreds of other excellent scents out there I don't know of)
1. L'Instant - Guerlain
2. Le Baiser du Dragon - Cartier
3. Delices - Cartier
4. Magnetism - Escada
5. Nilang - Lalique
6. Tropiques - Lancome
7. Rose Essentielle - Bvlgari
8. The Vert Extreme - Bvlgari
9. Juicy Couture - Juicy Couture
10. Maitresse - Agent Provocateur
Thanks for reading.

Actually, i think the best perfume is determined by each individuals themselves. Anyway, maybe not the best, but they sure satisfy me. They are among my few favourite perfumes are J. Lo Still, Hugo Boss for Women, Dunhill for Women and Moschino. I also used to wear Versace and Kenzo. However, among these, perfumes that i like most are Dior Addict and Miracle by Lancome. Dior Addict is given by my husband as a gift. Anyway, I like these fragrances because they have mild scents, refreshing, and yet sophisticated. It suits my personality, fits my lifestyle and brings out the best of me. I will also look for perfumes that can last the whole day. It's important since i seldom carry perfumes with me all the time.
