French term or phrase: la plus signée du marché
"AAAA reste la note aquatique ******la plus signée du marché******, avec un caractère épices froides-bois que je trouve toujours aussi troublant dix ans après."

__________

A magazine review on the perfume AAAA. My difficulty is the meaning of 'signé' here. The few entries in the glossary and elsewhere don't seem to apply in this context.

Any help would be much appreciated - many thanks!

the most distinctive on the market
Explanation:
or possibly 'in the market'

It really means hallmarked, as if it were a jewel, but I think distinctive works better in English
