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

Storm flower- cheryl cole

A pricey perfume oil bought in Egypt that smells like Chanel's Allure. I add it an aloe vera body lotion and rub it on my limbs.

Victoria's Secret - Bombshell Seduction.

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.

My mum always wore Japanese musk. I came across it on ebay a few years ago and bought some. The oil has been decanted into a roller ball bottle...it smells amazing and just how I remembered it on my mum.

Elie Saab Le Parfum

Jo Malone
myrrh & Tonka
Vetiver & golden vanilla
Especially if they're layered

Baccarat rouge is guaranteed to gets lots of compliments but zara dupe gets just as many and it's much cheaper

I have a few different Chanel, Dior Blooming Bouquet, Black Opium and La Maison Rouge which I regularly like to cycle through. I always seem to get the most compliments when I wear my Victorias Secret body spray though. 🤷‍♀️

Britney Spears - Midnight Fantasy
Always got compliments when wearing that!

Enko · 07/08/2022 00:45

Samsara by Guilain or Earlgrey and cucumber by Joe Malone

Chanel N5. Best perfum ever

xJoyfulCalmWisdomx · 07/08/2022 07:27

I love N19 but N5 confuses me. It smells quite run of the mill. Stereo typical older lady perfume. This is the perception I had in my 20s. I'm in my 50s now. I still don't get what's so special about it. I love perfumes too.

@NashvilleQueen i used to love Libertine by VW but I think it’s been discontinued about 10 years ago :(

LadyWithLapdog · 07/08/2022 07:44

My teenage DD is falling in love, completely independently, with perfumes I used to love: Youth Dew, Tresor, Obsession, L’Air du temps etc. She can’t remember me wearing them or seeing the bottles around.

SocksAndTheCity · 07/08/2022 07:47

I haven't worn it regularly in years apart from the bedtime one, but definitely Coco Mademoiselle. I also first bought it after smelling it on another woman and asking her what it was Smile

christmas2022 · 07/08/2022 07:48

Is it midnight fantasy the purple or fantasy in pink - going to buy a bottle and want to get the right one!

hotelp · 07/08/2022 07:49

I also have just spent £15 on samples Grin

hotelp · 07/08/2022 07:51

I rarely get comments, despite wearing coco mademoiselle which I always always think smells amazing on others.

My SILs both secretly bought D&G The One after smelling it on me so guess they liked that Grin

LadyWithLapdog · 07/08/2022 07:56

I love Chanel N5 but I had a woman on the plane turn round to me to ask if I could smell an odd detergent smell 👃 I didn’t have too much on, or at least my DH and DCs didn’t say so.

christmas2022 · 07/08/2022 07:56

Does anyone also know which Aldi perfumes are dupes of any of the Chanel ones please?
