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

Creed. Every time. It's aftershave but boy it is nice

MintyGreenDreams · 07/08/2022 11:41

@Bunty55 which one? Creed is the brand

cloud1183 · 07/08/2022 11:44

Byredo Bal d’Afrique most recently. Jo Malone Wood Sage and Sea salt when it is first sprayed but it turns to nothing very soon

molecule 01 is always a compliment getter but I can’t smell it well on myself

Bunty55 · 07/08/2022 11:48

Aventus

I have been known to spray myself with febreze if a bit sweaty and have had loads of people ask what perfume I'm wearing because it smells so nice!

I also like Jlo glow.

Azuree by Estée Lauder. It’s really lovely.

Les Senteurs is a great place for perfume samples, particularly more unusual ones.

I have so many perfumes i rotate but the only two I've ever been stopped in the street were for portrait of a lady Frederic malle, and santal blush by tom ford.

Donna K Be delicious- Blossom the pink one. Buying my meal deal for lunch today, and the assistant said I smelled ‘gorgeous ‘ and ‘really expensive’ made my day !

PugWhiskers · 07/08/2022 20:16

I have a lot of perfumes I like, but the only ones I've ever been asked about are Tam Dao by Diptyque and the Agent Provocateur one in the pink ceramic bottle.

Estée Lauder Knowing

Chanel Gardenia

Looks like we’ve been keeping Scent Samples very busy @MarthaMayWhovier @CutesyUserName @whenwillthemadnessend @hotelp , judging by when they send my dispatch notification 🤣

@CraggyIslandTouristBoard It looks like it, haha. They certainly seem efficient. I didn't know they existed and love trying different perfumes, so I'm glad I found them via this thread. Excited for my samples.

xogossipgirlxo · 08/08/2022 12:20

Another vote for Si from Georgio Armani

TheLassWiADelicateAir · 08/08/2022 12:33

Hermès 24 Faubourg and oddly Pretty Ballerina's Née à Paris which I got free after spending 100s of pounds on shoes in their Mayfair shop.

Mmm replica by the fireplace

TheFutureIs · 08/08/2022 12:56

Karl Lagerfeld Fleur d'Orchidee it's pretty cheap but everyone compliments me when I wear it

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 08/08/2022 13:15

Weirdly, Clinique Happy - I can't smell it on myself at all.

TiredYorkshireMam · 08/08/2022 13:30

Wow, intrigued by Portrait of a Lady.

Have never heard of it before. Sounds like quite a stuffy old name for a perfume, and the bottle looks very dated / cheap, but it's so expensive! And apparently very nice. Will need to try and get a sniff in John Lewis at some point.

I wonder if I have smelt it on someone before and not realised.

DeadRight · 08/08/2022 13:37

Another one with a large perfume collection. Rarely get complimented to be honest, but over the years the ones that have been noticed and complimented several times:

YSL Manifesto L’Elixir
Love, Chloe
MFK Feminin Pluriel

Most recently a young guy in a shop asked me what I was wearing when he was perfume shopping for his girlfriend. It was MMM Sailing Day.

I got an email at 1.29. They are efficient, working tirelessly through the night to get our samples to us.

I always get compliments when I wear
YSL Libre
Liz Earle No15

Interested to know what Portrait of A Lady smells like! Given how expensive it is and you can't buy a sample

Roses. You can buy 10ml for £45. I got a lot of compliments wearing it as well but it's not a scent I particularly liked

Bretonbear · 08/08/2022 15:33

The coco mademoiselle dupe from Lidl. Without fail.
