The percentage is the share of a perfume’s seasonal votes falling in this season — a measure of when people wear it, not of how good it is. Every perfume links to its own page with the full ranked list of alternatives.

How this list was ranked

The ranking is a SHAPE, not a popularity. Each perfume’s seasonal votes are split across autumn, spring, summer and winter; the figure shown is winter’s share of that split. A perfume ranks high here because wearers reach for it in winter specifically — which a rating average cannot tell you.
The share floor. At least 35% of a perfume’s seasonal votes must fall in winter, which is roughly the top tenth of the rated catalogue.
The vote floor is higher here than on our other lists, on purpose: a share is a ratio of four smaller numbers, so it is noisy under a thin vote count. At least 3,000 ratings. 66 perfumes cleared both floors; the 30 with the strongest lean are shown.
Discontinued perfumes are excluded. A list you buy from should not lead with a bottle no retailer stocks.
The cheaper match is AltScent’s rank-1 alternative, shown only when it scores 85 or better. Similarity is an AI-generated estimate informed by community opinion; it describes perceived scent character and is not a statement of fact.
Prices are estimates of a full bottle in USD and vary by retailer, size and time.
