Which perfume always gets you a compliment?

I love perfume & seem to spend a lot of my disposable income on it. Either cheapies from next & Zara or more expensive brands 2nd hand on eBay. Yet no one ever comments on how nice I smell. I like to think this is because I tend to use quite fresh/citrusy scents which aren't too strong rather than people just don't like how I smell.

So just out of curiosity, do you have a perfume that people always notice or comment positively on?

Chanel Mademoiselle always gets comments when I wear it and you only need a bit so it lasts ages

Cabotine by Parfums De Gre - usually get stopped or asked by colleagues/friends when I'm wearing it.

Tresor in love which I wore for years.

The Jo Malone rose one. Someone hugged me recently, took a big whiff and said “you smell like a rose garden” Grin

Funnily enough white amber from next always gets me compliments! I love it and not too expensive

MsHomeSlice · 10/07/2018 18:46

insolence by Guerlain or Gloria Vanderbilt....I think they smell pretty similar tbh and both last for ages on me.

Also Poison....I still love it, although it's not as heady as it used to be

why yes, I am an eighties child

Ralph Lauren Woman, I get loads of compliments on.

Ester Lauder Sensuous Nude I've fairly frequently have people stop me in the street to compliment me on! Its my absolute favorite perfume.

YSL Black Opium. Everybody from men women to children compliment me on it!

Gucci Guilty Absolute Pour Femme. It's very sexy and mysterious, a lot of rich berry undertones.
