Perfumes that strangers stop you in the street for?

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 know, I know I am being a bloody pain now...... Blush

Anyone got an Amazon code that I could use??

MumBod · 14/06/2017 14:10

I'm stupidly excited.

Femme by Hugo Boss.

I wear Terre d'Hermes. We met up with friends for dinner the other week and one of the guys hugged me 3 times in greeting as he loved the scent so much. I stopped him the 4th time. It was getting weird having a good friend's DH smelling my neck so happily!

MakeItStopNeville · 14/06/2017 14:49

It now, like a MN sheep, I'm googling Molecule 01 Blush

squoosh · 14/06/2017 14:54

Interestingly Terre d'Hermes contains the Iso E ingredient that is in Molecule 01 Grin

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iso_E_Super

MakeItStopNeville · 14/06/2017 14:56

It's also a masculine scent so I'm not sure what that says about my friends' DH! Grin

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 14/06/2017 14:56

Lots of 'identical scents' on eBay too, lots of Molecule 01- looks the same as the Amazon one.

Alien 😍😍😍😍

Deathraystare · 14/06/2017 16:04

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

You foxy thing!

Deathraystare · 14/06/2017 16:10

I once squeezed past two ladies in a cafe on my way to the loo and they said they loved my perfume - on that day it was Azuree by Estee Lauder. Not very subtle but then I rarely do subtle!

MumBod · 14/06/2017 19:01

It's here!!!!

LastGirlOnTheLeft · 14/06/2017 19:02

Cashmere Mist by Donna Karan. Every single time!!!

luley44 · 14/06/2017 19:16

YES! Snap....repeating and explaining Molecules ( 01 or 02 ) gets monotonous

UsernameInvalid66 · 14/06/2017 19:18

The only one anyone has ever commented on/asked me about is Very Irresistible.

Brittanyspears · 14/06/2017 19:24

Embarrassing due to my name, but Britney! The one in the round bottle. Its always men who ask and I say its Chanel due to shame!

jcscot · 14/06/2017 19:47

I've been asked about my perfume a few times

Hermes Hiris (one of the very few florals I like on me) - long ago. I wore it on my wedding day and have loved it ever since.

Lately I've been wearing Beaufort's Tonnerre and their Vi et Armes and I've had lots of people asking about them.

Onynx · 14/06/2017 19:47

Murphys where are you based? Molecule 01 is available from Brown Thomas in Ireland so Id imagine a few similar stores should stock it in the UK ?

jcscot · 14/06/2017 19:49

The last two are powerful scents so I use them sparingly but they have really interesting notes as they they down and make for an unusual perfume.

MrsD79 · 14/06/2017 19:50

Chanel mademoiselle.
Narcissco rodriguez -her
Miss Dior - absolutely blooming

sammy891 · 14/06/2017 22:23

Clinique Happy Heart
Prada Candy Kiss

wickedgamestoplay · 14/06/2017 22:41

Always get asked when I'm wearing alien. That's my work perfume.

Special occasion is chanel mademoiselle but think everyone know ms that so don't ask!

murphys · 15/06/2017 08:58

Onynx I am in South Africa. I am going to order directly from Tribute in USA. I have tried everywhere here that I could think of, but nowhere seems to sell it.

murphys · 15/06/2017 08:59

Update required...

MumBod · 15/06/2017 10:03

It's actually YUM.
