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.

I wear a lot of different perfumes but will always get compliments when wearing Alien eau extraordinaire.

"New York 1955" - 4160 Tuesdays. A few people have asked me about that one.

Molecule 01 here too, was pretty much chased out of a local shop by someone wanting to know what perfume I was wearing. I can't smell it on me and haven't got around to repurchasing since I ran out

Never anything else though

HL Bug - try Les Senteurs for samples - they will post you a little of what you fancy for not very much dosh.

No, just remembered, Lush Silky underwear always made people ask to. I just wish it was part of their permanent line

embarrassingly, the last two times I was asked it was Lidl's Suddenly Madame Glamour. I do also have the Coco Mademoiselle it copies, but keep the Lidl one in my car for at-work top-ups.

Si by Armani - constantly

Haven't RTFT so sorry if it has been mentioned but Lady Vengeance

Question - Why can't we smell perfumes on our ourselves?

Lady Vengeance was my wedding perfume. So beautiful. I had so many compliments on it.

I've never understood the whole infatuation with Angel, TBH.

I'm another that only gets asked about my lowest- rent fragrance.
In my case, JLo Glow.

It is genuinely a good fragrance - very fresh, soapy etc, but I do feel the need to defend myself it a bit if anyone asks what it is.

Chanel Chance always get stopped.

I get this all the time when I wear YSL Opium. It isn't well reviewed by perfume critics and I have a pricier fragrances no one ever says a word about! I figure it's the scent for me.

Eau Savage by Dior and Shay and Blue Salt Caramel have both got comments.
My daughter would have me wear Prada Iris every day because she says it smells amazing!

Years ago, a man on a train asked. It was Dune, and ever since I have steered clear of it as it came up very strong on me and lasted forever. Sillage should be quite intimate IMO.

TakeMe2Insanity your post reminded me of asking a friend what she was wearing the other week and it was Chance. I've just ordered a sample to see how it smells on me

When I had Dior Addict I got asked a lot!

Asked once in the street by a woman as I hurried past her as she was talking to friends on pavement just along from my house. I had to rush back to get something I'd forgotten & she asked then as I walked past again.

It was Clarins ressourcante spray (blue bottle). This was years ago & i have always liked it since.

Generally agree if others can smell it so much you're likely wearing too much.

Ex colleague used to wear white linen which is very strong but I used fo just get a very slight scent of it from her so clean & fresh. It smells horrendously strong & over powering straight from the bottle though.

Chloe Narcisse and JLO Glow

I have some really expensive perfumes but the one I always get loads of compliments on is Lush - Karma. I don't think you need to layer it, I never have. It's strong enough

Thanks MrsKlug I'll give them a go.

HLBug- I can vouch also for Scent Samples UK (and so can OC ^^ upthread there!) and also for Aus Liebe Zum Duft (based in Germany but will ship to UK quite cheaply as well as other places) There is a Netherlands based site called Skins which does fab testing kits too (I bought almost all of them last year! You get about 4-5 sample phials for about 15 euro) Many perfume houses also do sampling kits, lots of us on the Perfumista thread rushed off to buy the Atelier Cologne sampling set, you get about 20 beautifully packaged samples, each in a little bag with a postcard for 30 euro.

There is also Nose.fr. who like you to do their diagnostic and then you get 5-6 samples of what it comes up with for about 10 euro..I found one of my great loves (Cuir Cordoba Keiko Mecheri) that way...however, when I ordered some other samples, they came all leaky, labels peeling off and I was v unimpressed.

Diane Von Furstenburg - had quite a few remarks that I smell lovely wearing that.
Always know I have been a bit heavy handed with the Alien if children start sneezing at work, so I use about a quarter less than I think I need!

I wear lots of different scents but there are some that get comments:

Juliet has a Gun - 'Not a perfume"
Liz Earle no 15
Clive Christian X
CHloe

Chloe love story
