Perfume: Complete Best (stylized as Perfume ~Complete Best~) is the debut greatest hits album by Japanese girl group Perfume. It was released on August 2, 2006 by Tokuma Japan Communications. The greatest hits album includes work released from their previous record label Bee-hive Records, and previous work with Tokuma Japan Communications. The album also included b-side and one newly recorded track. It was released in three different formats; a CD and DVD bundle, a digital release, and a double 12-inch vinyl LP. The LP was released through Perfume's February 2016 box set Perfume Complete LP Box, and a singular limited release.
Upon its release, Perfume: Complete Best was met with generally positive reviews from music critics. Many critics admitted their disapproval of the album's material at first, but retrospectively commended the album's composition and production. Commercially, Perfume: Complete Best was a moderate success. The album reached number 33 on Japan's Oricon Albums Chart, whilst a limited edition reached number 66. After Perfume's 2008 debut studio album Game reached the top of the Oricon Albums Chart, Perfume: Complete Best reached number 25 on the same chart.
In 2003, following their graduation from the Actors School in Hiroshima, Perfume moved to Tokyo to further establish themselves as a musical project. There, they became a part of Bee-Hive and signed with the management office Amuse, Inc.. In Tokyo, they met Japanese producer and Capsule member Yasutaka Nakata; Bee-Hive later hired Nakata to produce the groups beginning material. Between the years of 2003 and 2004, Nakata produced three singles; "Sweet Donuts", "Monochrome Effect", and "Vitamin Drop" under Bee-Hive Records. Commercially, none of the singles were particularly successful prior to their release, barely scraping the top 100 on Japan's Oricon Singles Chart.
