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

Poeme and La Vie est Belle by Lancôme. Azuree by Estée Lauder which is hard to get now and Aqua di Parma which is unisex.

I love perfume, wear it every day, have over 100 different perfumes. Literally the only one that I've ever had comments on is You by Glossier.

Never worn molecule 01 but apparently You is similar in that way that it smells different to and on different people. I can hardly smell it on myself but I've had comments on it from random strangers at 6pm when I've sprayed it on at 6am that morning.

Dior addict

When I was younger it was Chanel Cristalle, then Dior Escale a Portofino. The one I wear now and get numerous comments - nearly every time I go out - is Gris Dior. Absolutely love it.

Molecule no 1 and Molecule Mandarin (had a builder very politely tell me I smelt lovely yesterday 😁).

Dupe of DKNY, Be delicious. So many compliments and strangers asking for the name of it. FM World Federico Mahora Pure Collection Perfume (81).
Used to be £13.99, just seen it's now £19.99!

For me it was when I used to wear Oh Lola by Marc Jacobs, but I went off it myself.

The only time I have smelt someone, one of my friends, and thought 'I must ask her what she is wearing, it's amazing', it was Molecule 01! It wasn't even that 'nice' as such, I can't explain it, there was just something about it. Apparently everyone asks her about it.

J’Adore, twice when I was also wearing a vanilla body spray too

Definitely Portrait of a lady for me too.
I've been asked so many times.

custardbear · 07/08/2022 09:06

Mademoiselle coco by far! Also get asked about Prada amber, but MC a lot

L'Instant de Guerlain

Idunnowhyibother · 07/08/2022 09:12

Tiger By Her Side - or maybe it's because I prowl when I wear it 😂

ArabeI · 07/08/2022 10:35

I think I'm going to have to get a sample of the Molecule 01!

I blind bought Portrait of a Lady a few years ago. That's three or four of us here with similar experiences wearing it, then. Nobody has ever heard of it when I tell them what it is.

DamnAKarmaDingDong · 07/08/2022 10:43

I bought a bargain bucket bottle of L'Imperatrice by D&G in a hurry at the airport as I'd forgotten to bring any perfume with me, and I have never had so many people ask what I was wearing.

That, and Plum by Mary Greenwell.

TheFormidableMrsC · 07/08/2022 10:56

Paul Smith Rose is always complimented on when I wear it. Also Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir.

I always received compliments on Angel. Then lots of complaints when they went out and bought it and it didn't smell the same on them as it did on me!

Tom Ford Black Orchid. I now only wear it if I want attention. Paloma Picasso is a sexy one too. I've also had a lot of compliments with original Jean Paul Gautier and Vivienne Westwood Boudoir.

You wear all my go to's!!!
I wear black orchid daily, I always get comments
I do switch it up when going out but black orchid is my fave
