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?

Definitely Chloe.

I've tried so many perfumes over the years but this is the only one people ever ask me about. Even complete strangers ask.

I never ever get asked or complimented!

Calvin Klein Eternity and Clinique Happy Heart. Most of the enquiries have come from other women, but men seem to like the Clinique perfume.

I had never heard of this brand before, but have just gone online and had a look. Might buy the taster set. Thanks for the recommendation!

My hairdresser asked me what mine was today, she said it was 'lovely'. She was right as well, it was Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker! I wear it everyday.

I scrunch coconut conditioner into my hair and always get compliments about my smell and people then realise it’s my hair not perfume 😂 and after I use palmers coco butter on my skin people comment a lot loving the smell (sometimes a bit obsessively!)

Lenor unstoppable seriously. I've even had someone stop me outside Euston to ask

Miss Dior - Le Parfum. Most sadly discontinued.

Elie Saab le parfum Royal is kind of similar but in no way garners the same compliments sigh
