Really need a new perfume so I’m thinking of ordering a few samples to test things out. But I’m a bit overwhelmed and would like to know which of your perfumes you get the most compliments on?

Also L’interdit

I like Sycomore too and Coromandel but now I sound like a Chanel rep

isocentric Molecules 01. I have had people stop me in the street. Though I can’t smell it all !

coffeewithmilk · 14/01/2024 19:35

YSL Libra
Givenchy L'interdit

Love them both

Another one was the coconut almond by Laura mercier.. literally everywhere I went someone would ask what it was. I loved it but I got tired of it very quickly - it's quite sweet but the bottle lasts as you only need one or 2 sprays
(To be honest the moisturiser I found was actually better than the perfume!)

I love perfume and have a few favourites that I rotate through depending on the mood I'm in/time of day/season. The ones that get commented on the most are:

BDK Velvet Tonka
Liz Earle botanic essence no 20
Issey Miyake Pure Nectar
Boss Femme
Alien Fusion

Calvin Klein Euphoria and Chanel Chance

I think you might be best working out which 'family' of perfumes suit you. For me the fresh or woody perfumes are best, oriental and floral perfumes aren't my style. And perfumes seem to react differently to different people so I think you'll need to try a few.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 14/01/2024 19:37

Calvin Klein Eternity Moment. I'd never been complimented on a scent before, and now it's a regular occurrence

NewYear24 · 14/01/2024 19:39

Marc Jacobs Daisy, it isn’t actually my favourite, I was bought a bottle as a present but I’ve had so many people completely me and ask me what it is.
My favourite is J’adore.

Hermes Eau de Merveilles. Not my personal favourite, but I always get positive comments when I wear it.

What PP said, you need to find your vibe first.

Also maybe since being a mum I have no shame but I always ask strangers what they’re wearing if I like it. I wanted to ask a bus driver the other day she smelled amazing but the bus was packed and I got stage fright. Really really regret that

freezingmytoesoff · 14/01/2024 19:49

Armani Si, the original one

bluechicky · 14/01/2024 19:49

That’s what I’m trying to do by buying samples. I just don’t know which ones to try. So I’m going to order some and try them out and find what I like and what suits me before committing to full size bottles
