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.

@Jinxyjo I so agree, I've just asked a thread about it and wondered if anybody had mentioned it before. I'm not even so wild about it but everybody else loves it.

2 of my other favourite ones which were discontinued ages ago were monsoon (the original blue bottle copper lid mid 90s) and very Valentino

Another favourite of mine now is Anna sui fairy dance

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.

Same 😂

This. I've never experienced a reaction like it

BIossomtoes · 10/07/2026 14:04

I’ve got it too. It smells SO much more expensive than it is and everyone who’s smelled it loves it.

I was told I smelt amazing whilst boarding a plane recently. I was wearing Golden Decade from Zara. It needs reapplying quite a lot but at least it’s cheap enough to do that.

My sister just got that today, and she also bought Coco sunset Miami.

My 2 most commented have already been mentioned - Estee Laude Knowing and Gres Cabotine. Another favourite although it's an aftershave is Cerruti 881 for men.

WhatNextImScared · 10/07/2026 21:50

Discotecque - All night til first light. Their whole range is undeliverable but this is my fave

CombatBarbie · 10/07/2026 21:55

When I mix JM pomegranate noir and tuberose angelica, Ted Baker one i got for xmas has also been commented on.

Dior Dolce Vita, I’ve been wearing it for years and still get compliments about it .

Same here, love it.
It's the perfume my DC remember from their childhood.

Ohwhatfuckeryitistoride · 13/04/2026 18:50

Ive still got a bottle i think. My taste has changed from down and dirty these days.

Mine too, never found anything that comes close

walkingmyway · 10/07/2026 22:41

I never get comments but my faves are
DKNY woman - reminds me of uni, the coldest scent I own and perfect for heatwaves!
clean reserve skin - smells like me but better
glossier you

Another vote for Fashionably London.
For summer it’s JM English Pear and Freesia (Essence Vault dupe), get lots of compliments.
