I have used Alien by Thierry Mugler and get a lot of compliments when I use that perfume. I am currently wearing Kenzo and just received one compliment.

Ganymede gets me so many compliments and so does Valaya and Valaya Exclusif. They are all favourites! Currently also loving Tillia, Brompton Immortals and Musk Therapy.

I wear Addict, Dior.

You’re the first person I’ve met who likes Alien! I find it completely overpowering. I was bought la vie est belle as a gift and recieved lots of compliments as pp has also said - it wouldn’t be what I would choose myself but I think it’s a strong / long lasting scent. It’s very feminine. I really like Diptyque fragrances, they’re also long lasting and also not that well known so a bit original. Xo

I have a perfume I bought from Mango that I get loads of compliments about. Far more than any of my expensive perfumes!

worldshottestmom · 11/04/2026 16:17

Miss Dior and Chanel Chance Eau Tendre; always favour the latter and always get told how nice it smells. One time wearing miss Dior 3 people asked me what it was

LyndaSnellsSniff · 11/04/2026 16:17

My favourite is Bronze Wood and Leather by Jo Malone. Sadly discontinued. It's very marmite but I love it.

LyndaSnellsSniff · 11/04/2026 16:18

Most compliments for English Oak & Hazelnut by Jo Malone.

Minnowmeow · 11/04/2026 16:18

Lilyphea by Diptyque. I have received a number of small samples of the years and always get compliments when I wear it. It’s £££ though!

troppibambini6 · 11/04/2026 16:19

Malin and goetz leather. Pretty much every time I wear it someone compliments me and asks what it is.

Ooh I love reading for perfume recommendations. I want to be someone who smells beautiful and I try different things but never get told I smell nice 😂 I don’t know if they don’t last long on me or if I need to find “my” scent, but I also don’t want to keep wasting money.

Years ago I bought just pink from next as my work perfume, I got so many compliments that I started wearing it day to day to.

The Saltworks Company - Tabac Soleil

Another vote for Saltworks but for me it’s Ko Mene. I also loved Brown Sugar and Surfari enough from the samples that I got those for Christmas last year. Tabac Soleil was definitely in my top 5.
