You know when you walk into your favorite department store and are immediately inundated with hundreds of beauty products to choose from? It's an overwhelming feeling.

Thankfully, Rank & Style came along and simplified shopping with their daily lists of the top ten products in basically every category. And the best part? These lists are created scientifically. They're not based on personal opinion, but on real data from magazines, blogs, department stores, and social media, all of which help to rank products by popularity, quality, and buzz.

From now until January, we'll be bringing you the top five products in various beauty categories. Last week, we shared the best anti-aging creams of the year. Today, we're revealing this year's five best-selling fragrances, just in time to add one of them to your holiday wish list!
