Which perfume do you get the most compliments on?

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?

When I wore YSL Rive Gauche many moons ago, my mum asked "what IS that smell of cats? " Put me right off it!
Elizabeth Taylor White Diamonds is nice.

Jo Malone Peony and blush suede.

I don't actually like this that much as it's a bit sweet but received it for a present and without fail someone will compliment me on when I wear it.... La Vie Est Belle. I think it smells way nicer on skin than when you first spray it from the bottle.

Coromandel

Flowerbomb by viktor and rolf

I feel like I need this thread as I've never been complimented on my perfume by anyone in my life and I've had loads! I must just be really bad at choosing them because I love the smell of every single one I buy! I didn't know you could request samples before buying, I've always been put off buying high end ones I don't know in case they were awful!

Not me but a really amusing lady I met on the train before Christmas asked if I minded if she vaped and she blew the vapour under the seats and sprayed perfume to try and hide the smell - it was called Alien. I really liked it

MoonWoman69 · 14/01/2024 19:59

Clinique Aromatics, it's my favourite and several people have stopped and asked me what I'm wearing. You don't need a lot on though, as it's quite intense.

I think it’s Ylang Ylang that smell like cats. I’ve had it in candles and had to get rid of them.

My go-to is Gucci Rush, I've had a lot of compliments on that one and it's my absolute fave.
Honourable mentions go to YSL Libre and Glow by J-Lo.

Alien is so overpowering!

Blankspace35 · 14/01/2024 20:07

Ysl Black Opium

Roseyleaf · 14/01/2024 20:08

Gucci Rush is my most complimented fragrance. It's getting harder to find at a decent price, though.

Molecule 01 has drawn negative comments..."smells like alcohol in here".

Greendrinksbottle · 14/01/2024 20:10

Just pink (next) is the cheapest perfume I have but definitely the most compliments.

Oh God I despise alien. It's horrible. I know it's popular though so obviously many others like it but it makes me sick.
I'd be more annoyed that someone sprayed that in the air than the smell of the vape.

Britney Spears.

I complimented 3 different women on their perfume over several months and they all said it was BS.

I loved the smell so got it for myself and I will get compliments on it nearly everywhere I go.

I would say at least 3 times a week, someone will come up to me and ask me what perfume I’m wearing.
