I always get complimented on the SJP one. Every time I wear it someone says something. It cost £11 Shock

Is it for yourself? Maison Francis Baccarat Rouge, every single time I wear it (back in the days when we used to go out) I get asked what I'm wearing.

Escential molecules one. I’m literally stopped every time I wear it.

Hypnose by Lamcome, I love it so much

Jeremyironseverything · 18/10/2020 11:12

J'adore gets me more compliments than other perfumes.

I recently complimented someone on theirs, turns out it was a £3.99 from Lidl and smells like Channel Mademoiselle - of course I've brought myself a bottle!

Puffalicious · 18/10/2020 11:20

Stella McCartney original- I get stopped all the time. It's now the only perfume I wear.

Spied · 18/10/2020 11:21

My last compliment was when I was wearing Dior Dune.

StrawberryPi · 18/10/2020 11:28

Jo malone - dark amber and ginger lily. It's a lovely warm smell, perfect for this time of year!

EerilyDeleted · 18/10/2020 11:29

Lush Lord of Misrule - patchouli and vanilla

slightlysnippy · 18/10/2020 11:42

I get lots of compliments when wearing lancome la vie est belle, I love it it's now the only perfume I ever wear.

This is a great thread I've now been inspired to test a few mentioned here. Can you test perfumes in the shops, I see all the beauty counter shelf's empty at the moment?

Issey Miyake.
L’eau de Missey .
Had a hug at a wedding from a lovely young man who genuinely loved it . Then I had a hug from his girlfriend !

I am not young it was a friend’s son’s wedding .

A patient recently complimented me on Davidoff Cool Water Wave Woman.

Also had compliments on my antiperspirant deodorant spray - Vaseline Aloe Vera!!

Coffee4Queen · 18/10/2020 11:48

Same! Often get asked what I’m wearing with this one.
Katinthedoghouse · 18/10/2020 11:58

Funny I was just talking about this 10 minutes ago to DH.

He finds it funny when he says “you smell lovely” when he knows I’m wearing the sjp one mentioned above.

My favourite smell in him is a Hermes £££ one, and his favourite smell on me is Lovely and costs about £10 🤷🏻‍♀️

Lottiebugz22 · 18/10/2020 12:21

Yes it's for myself but I can't decide. There are so many options so I'm compiling of a list of suggestions Grin

Tom Ford Velvet Orchid

Next’s Enchantment Eau de Parfum. Really! Fabulous for price. Can get a handbag Sized bottle for 4 quid. Woody lushness on me, touch patchouli, very autumnal and unusual. However, of five people who asked me about it and tried it three said was awful on their skin/with their body chemistry. The other two loved it.

Gooseysgirl · 18/10/2020 12:32

Givenchy L'Interdit... loads of compliments on it! I also love the SJP Lovely and wear it a lot in the winter - often gets compliments too!

amethystprimrose · 18/10/2020 12:35

YSL libre

stayingaliveisawayoflife · 18/10/2020 12:39

I treated myself to this as I can't wear most perfumes and this had worked for me. When I wear it I have been described as fresh and as if I have just got out of the shower!

@LiveFromHome I’ve read so much about Maison Francis Baccarat Rouge, is it worth the money?

waterthedog · 18/10/2020 12:43

Chanel Coco
