Looking fur a strong smelling, signature type perfume.

Just finished my bottle of Portrait of a Lady.

I guess I'm looking for an "in your face" type perfume!

The original Miss Dior always gets the most compliments when I wear.

I go between that and Carolina herrera good girl personally :)

Tom ford black orchid.

Paloma Picasso. It's strong and distinctive and definitely not a blind buy.
Or Lancome Magie Noire.

Saltworks Oud Bazaar or Tabac Soleil - both perfumes I've had 'omg what perfume is that?' comments on.

Top tip for Saltworks perfumes is to buy their discovery set for £29. You'll get 10 perfume samples with a decent number of sprays in each, including the two I mentioned if you go for the original discovery set.

With the discovery set you'll also get a £25 voucher for whichever one you decide to buy in full size (so you basically get to try all 10 for £4) AND with the full size bottle you'll get a travel size version of the same perfume. They're a bloody good deal.

Tom Ford Velvet Orchid

Just came on to say Portrait of a Lady, lol. His Carnal Flower is pretty awesome too. I also like Tom Ford Black Orchid, currently wearing Maison Margiela Jazz Club.

Millymollymine · 24/02/2025 21:42

Straight to Heaven by Kilian. Expensive but worth every penny.

Cotswoldmama · 24/02/2025 21:46

Golden Decade-Zara it supposed to be a dupe of YSL-Libre but I think it's better!

guerlain, insolence.

Constantly every single time I wear it. I love it

ThreeMagicNumber · 24/02/2025 21:49

Zara Red Temptation, get asked all the time what it is. So cheap and smells the same as baccarat rouge.

Screamingabdabz · 24/02/2025 21:51

Not necessarily my fave but I always get asked by at least two strangers whenever I wear it is Versace Crystal Noir. I always buy it when it’s on offer at Superdrug!

laesosalt · 24/02/2025 21:52

YSL Libre Intense - without fail I get compliments on this. Had converted 5 people after a holiday 🤣

geminiflanagan · 24/02/2025 21:53

Tauer L'air du desert marocain is hands down my most complimented. I love it.

Also from FM if you fancy sticking with the brand is Promise. It's absolutely enormous, and totally gorgeous

I haven't had compliments about perfume for a long time, but I've had three in the last month.

Every time, I've been wearing the Pomegranate perfume from Aldi.

£6.65 a bottle.

Wondering whether I should just abandon my more expensive perfumes!

JaceLancs · 24/02/2025 22:08

I second Guerlain insolence - they used to do a few different varieties of it - I was very sad when I used up the last of these
People frequently comment when I’m wearing Dior addict

BangingOn · 24/02/2025 22:09

I really like Killian Angel’s Share.

Bingbopboomboomboombopbam · 24/02/2025 22:17

Ylang Ylang Espresso and I will die on this hill. I love it.
