What perfume gets you the most compliments? No one ever seems to notice mine, perhaps I'm not putting enough on..

Agree Molecule 01
Also Amarige by Givenchy. I've been wearing it on and off for 30 years and people always come in for a 'sniff' and a compliment.

Just ordered Halfeti, Molecule 01 and Portrait Of A Lady samples. 🤦‍♀️ I need to hide S&B

Me too! I just ordered Molecule 01 and Portrait of a Lady, at least I thought I did. Looks like I've actually ordered two Molecule samples by mistake! I've written to them so hope they can sort it. They must be wondering where all the orders for these two are suddenly coming from!

This is going to sound weird but of all the perfumes I've ever worn in my life (no matter how expensive), I always got tonnes of compliments on a cheap one from Body Shop called Japanese Musk Oil.

I'm gutted because you can't buy it anymore but it was very popular in the 80s.

Flowerbomb by viktor&rolf

Ariana’s Cloud here too!

I like Molecule 01 but doesn’t it smell differently on people?

Sgtmajormummy · 06/08/2022 23:12

La Vie Est Belle, but it wasn’t really me.
I’ve just ordered Mon Guerlain on recommendation from that handsome German Jeremy on YouTube!
I used to love Very Irresistible by Givenchy. I felt it was “me” at that stage of my life but it didn’t get many compliments…

Neverendingdust · 06/08/2022 23:16

The new Chanel Paris-Paris gets a lot of comments

Chanel Coromandel beautiful, probably one of the best fragrances in the world

Chanel No22 as previously said, like No5 but 100 x better

blueskyeve · 06/08/2022 23:18

Byredo - Blanche. Every time I wear it I get a compliment. But it's so bloody expensive that I don't wear it daily, I just keep it for special occasions, which is a bit of a shame really.

Divebar2021 · 06/08/2022 23:25

Stella McCartney. The original one

h78 · 06/08/2022 23:26

Scandal night by Jean Paul gaultier
Molten brown flora luminare edp

DinosaursEatMan · 06/08/2022 23:28

Diorissimo, and also another lily of the valley perfume that I’ve had for ages by Crabtree and Evelyn!
Chanel No. 19

Maybe you just haven't found the one that suits you or its not lasting on you. Try layering with the body lotion of the same fragrance if available. Or a second spray after the initial one. Be aware that sometimes your nose can be immune to the smell after long use so change your fragrance from time to time. Nothing worse than someone wearing too much perfume. Better to leave a delicate waft.😂

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 06/08/2022 23:32

Nivea, seriously. Even the lady on the till at Argos asked what it was as it was so nice.

Pqpqpqpq · 06/08/2022 23:36

I see some people are ordering the 1ml samples. They cost companies about 30p a sample to make which is why I never understand why the perfume counters are so tight with their samples!

NHSmummy84 · 06/08/2022 23:37

Perfum de Marly - delina
killian- angels share
killian- good girl gone bad
Mugler- aura

Macaroni1924 · 06/08/2022 23:41

Flowerbomb

SuperAsymmetry · 06/08/2022 23:41

Another vote for Ariana Grande - Cloud too. Always get asked what I'm wearing

LoveMuscle · 06/08/2022 23:45

Mugla - Aura

iamspt · 06/08/2022 23:48

I've just spent £15 on samples (1ml!)

Need to hide Style and Beauty also Grin

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 06/08/2022 23:54

Where does one get samples please?

whenwillthemadnessend · 07/08/2022 00:00

Ordered too 😃

LoveMyPiano · 07/08/2022 00:00

Joy - Dior.
Always get told that I smell nice.
I wear the regular and the Intense - I actually prefer the Intense (it reminds of Chanel Allure Sensuelle - which is getting harder to find, and is definitely a night out fragrance, and I don't really have nights out any more).
