Dialsquare Molecules isn’t flowery, quite fresh and smells different on everyone, but almost without fail it is gorgeous

Chanel Mademoiselle

ElPatito · 18/10/2020 13:30

I always wear chanel no5 but when I wear the matching body lotion I get compliments.
Was complimented when I wore ex's jpg male.
Perfumes I have asked other people about recently have been:
Black orchid
Black opium
Lalique
Clinique aromatic light (this one was so lovely I practically chased the lady down the road).

Tom Ford Black Orchid

Yeah it is. Lovely :)

Thanks sleepwhenidie. Sounds like my sort of scent. Might have to treat myself!
I used to wear Arome Tonique by Decleor and always got compliments but they discontinued it years ago. They didn't help things by bringing out a different scent and calling it Arome Tonic shortly after. I got 3 bottles of that for Christmas from people thinking it was the original!

Valentino Donna and Chanel No 5 l'eau première. Both great if you like powdery scents though Valentino is more for winter and the Chanel is lovely for summer because it's powdery with citrus notes and the latter come out beautifully during hot weather.

@Mrbay I wear this, always had compliments wearing it, even an air hostess asked me what perfume I was wearing on a flight once.

Zara wonder rose is also lovely.

Sennedd · 18/10/2020 13:43

Believe it or not, Avon Incandessence. Cheap but lovely.

ivftake1 · 18/10/2020 13:46

Today: escentric molecules 01

BillyAndTheSillies · 18/10/2020 13:52

Guaranteed compliments always come from Penhaligon's Ninevah or Juniper Sling, Fragonard Verveine and Escentric Molecules No1.

Sparkletastic · 18/10/2020 14:05

L'Interdit by Givenchy. Can't smell that Molecules one on anyone.

AuntieMarys · 18/10/2020 14:06

Molecule
Biblioteque

Purplecatshopaholic · 18/10/2020 14:08

Tom Ford Velvet Orchid. Still wear it even if just in the house!

LiveFromHome · 18/10/2020 14:13

@FredaFox I love it and you don't need to spray much on, so yes, to me it's worth the money - I've tried the Ariana Grande perfume as it gets put about as a "copy" for the Baccarat Rouge but it's too sickly sweet on me.

I'm really funny with perfumes though, there are several that just don't smell on me at all no matter how much I apply, and it's not me being nose blind - others can't smell them on me either.

Scherzo by Miller Harris.

TeddyIsaHe · 18/10/2020 14:20

I always get asked when I’m wearing Chanel Sycomore. It’s lovely.

WonderMoon · 18/10/2020 14:24

I love a good perfume...I get lots of compliments when I wear either of these two.
Stangers in shops or nights out would always ask me what I was wearing when I wore Bobbi Brown Beach - its Summer in a bottle. I love it.

Also Jo Malone Lime, Basil and Mandarin - its lovely , clean and fresh. It's one you can wear every day. Its gorgeous.
