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?

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!

I've worn most of the perfumes on this thread but rarely get compliments 😆. I probably don't put very much on as prefer it to be more subtle. Actually I have on Creed love in white but I don't like it much , it smells unusual though so maybe that's why.

I've got so many expensive and cheap perfumes but the one I get complimented on most is one called Stylish Girl from Lidl. I believe it's a copy of Caroline Herrera Good Girl.

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.

Which one? Doesn't she have loads of different scents?

I think people compliment smells they find familiar so cheap dupes often get compliments whereas expensive perfumes may be more of an acquired taste. I love Penhaligons fragrances but haven't been complimented on them. I do think I'm treated better in high end stores wearing it though so it's noticed even if not commented upon.

Britney Spears.

Which one? I have a few of hers that are amazing. I don’t like the original Fantasy though.

Just Pink is a copy of Ralph Lauren Romance
Next do a few dupes.

I like Femme Boss. Lancôme Miracle.

I have Lancôme La vie est belle which I do like but there is an aftersmell on it that makes me feel a bit sick after a while!

Not sure what that makes my perfume group but definitely find yours.

My body likes fresh smells, so citrus works for me.

Grapefruit and Lime, Basil and Mandarin Jo Malone are lovely on me.

I only alternate between 2 perfumes, Chanel Allure and Jean Paul Galtier Classique and regularly get compliments on their scent.

Calvin Klein Euphoria. I kept getting stopped in the supermarket and asked what perfume it was. I've never had that with any other I've worn.

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".

I think molecule smells like vicks vaporub don't see the appeal at all
