Scent that people have stopped you and asked what it is

Just that really. I'd love to know what scent you have worn that others have commented positively on, or where strangers have asked what perfume it is.
Please let me know which brand/names that have elicited this reaction and whether from a man or a woman?

Over the years, I've been receiving positive comments for:
Issey Miyake
Le Labo Santal
Chloe

You?

Pretty much anything by Byredo. Always positive, thankfully!

I love Guerlain, especially the old selected perfumes. Only once, have I been asked what perfume I wearing. It was Chamade.

YSL Libre always gets me compliments from both women & men.

Other perfumes I wear that I get complimented on are Liz Earle No15 both women & men again & Floral Street Neon Rose.

Calvin Klein Beauty
It's the one perfume that always gets a question, everyone always asks what it is. It's one of my all time favourites.
So many scents get worn to death nowadays, I prefer to find ones that are unusual and not instantly recognisable. I used to love Baccarat Rouge but I smell it absolutely everywhere now and got sick of it really quickly.

I wanted to say this about BR as well. I've had the Zara dupe for a few years now, and quite liked it. But I haven't worn it in a long time because it is just everywhere now. I have a silly game going that whenever I go to a mall, I see how long it will be before I smell it on someone. And of course it's been so over sprayed the entire shop seems to smell of it.

La Vie est Belle by Lancome
Womanity by Thierry Mugler.

Zara's Golden decade it's supposed to be a dupe for YSL Libre intense. I've never spelt the YSL but Golden decade is amazing, it projects and lasts well and is budget friendly, I don't know how to describe it sort of a warm, creamy amber, slightly orange but in a warm way not a fresh way.

Today I was stopped and complimented on my perfume by a colleague from another department. She said it was the nicest perfume she's come across in along time

Guerlain, Aqua Allegoria Neroli Vetiver

I bought it on a whim in the airport a few weeks ago, I have a few from this range now including Pamplemousse and Mandarin & Basil.

I find them very light and fresh for summer.

I tried Molecule 1 today and couldn't smell it at all. My mum said she could smell it on me but she couldn't describe it. I can't imagine spending £100 on a perfume I can't smell. It's such a strange idea that other people can smell it but the wearer can't.
