Perfumes that strangers stop you in the street for?

[Chicinwellies]

Just that really, I was asked today by a (very lovely looking) chap what perfume I was wearing, and would love to know what everyone else gets asked about fragrance wise. It was Alien Absolue btw.

Poirier d'un Soir by Miller Harris. Also, Lovely by SJP.

Coromandel always gets comments.

A little girl tugged my sleeve last weekend to tell me I smelt to really nice! I'm now avoiding daisy dream by Marc Jacobs as it is obviously cat nip for kids!

Recently I got asked what I was wearing when I had Marc Jacobs Decadence on.

Two cheapies but goodies which people always ask me about: Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker. And Butterfly by Marks and Spencer.

Coromandel and Chanel No. 22. Always.

Often happens to me, but never with the fragrances I love .

DD and her friends (junior school) tell me I smell 'a-may-zing' if I wear sweet fruity florals...most recently Viktor & Rolf Bonbon & Lancone La Vie Est Belle.

Stopped twice in recent weeks for completely different fragrances. Colleagues at work kept commenting on Sisley Izia (fruity floral)...but had various stranger comments on Sisley Soir de Lune, which is a heavy, old-lady-rose, musky, oak-mossy chypre.

As the Yanks say...Go Figure

A man told me I smelt amazing while I was on holiday, I had to tell him it was deet (mosquito repellent)

Charlie Red, believe it or not. I often get asked about it. I've had "proper" perfumes before but Charlie seems to suit me.
I used to get comments about my vanilla Bodyshop perfume years ago but more of the "Oooh, you smell like cake" variety.

Estee Lauder Beautiful

Just got Chloe and have had several compliments. I'm not surprised: it doesn't smell like an individual fragrance to me, it smells like 'perfumed woman' - yknow, those ultra groomed women who waft a perfumed smell? It smells like that.

All of my Al Rehab ones! Especially Bakhour and Red Roses.

Molecule 01. It's always 50/60 year old looking women who stop and ask me, and they always seem disappointed by the name!

SJP Lovely and Chanel Sycomore

I'm happy to brag about the Chanel but I always have a mini cringe (yes, because I'm shallow!) when I have to say 'Sarah Jessica Parker' even though I do the perfume. Sorry Sarah Jessica.

'Do love the perfume' not 'do the perfume'. I don't love it that much!

OP he was chatting you up I reckon.

Anyway, FWIW, I've been asked when I wear Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille, The Body Shop's Shea, their Coconut too, Tisserand's 'de-stress' spray (a mix of essential oils) and Lush's Gorilla Vanillary (although like a pp, it's been a child).

That said, I'm a firm believer in body chemistry 'liking' or suiting only certain scent groups. Years back, I bought a new boyfriend the JPGaultier fragrance that I loved on an ex, but it made me feel nauseous on the new bf. I learnt that scents smell different on certain people.

Stella by Stella McCartney.

Not once in my life has this happened to me! I wear (what I think are) unusual and arresting perfumes - Chanel No 5, Chanel Misia, YSL noble leather, Tom Ford Sahara Noir. Nobody has ever asked me what perfume I'm wearing

Flower by Kenzo

Giorgio Armani's Privé Rose d'Arabie

Someone told me that it made them think of President Snow in the Hunger Games books - roses and power
