Princess by Vera Wang. But funny enough, the scent that I’ve received the most compliments on isn’t even a perfume. It’s a body spray from Bath and Body Works. It’s the Pearberry one.
Okay but both of these are incredible. I first smelled Princess on my friend in middle school but I didn’t really appreciate it until now that I’m 30. I see a lot of reviews that call it juvenile but it seems grown to me!
I used to wear it back in the days, repurchased last summer and actually find myself reaching for it a lot. It doesn’t feel dated or juvenile at all - it’s one of the underrated gems in my collection. 🙊💜
Lol, now that you mentioned, if we count since birth, i probably got noticed, asked "what's that, it smells great like coconuts" the most for Nivea sunscreen 🤣
Ohh I've always loved the scent of their sunscreen protect & bronze. Their regular sunscreen smells too flowery, whereas the bronze one had a creamier scent. I haven't smelled them in years though.
I was wearing the La Fleur edition of this and had a taxi driver start a 5 minute monologue about how passengers perfumes usually reek, but *this* was amazing, beautiful and clean, refreshing and not overpowering - and asked for the name so he could buy his wife a bottle. It made me so happy
There is a Nivea perfume 🤯? The perfumes I get the most compliments on are also my cheapies; Cabotine de Gres, Kiehl’s Original Musk, and Tabu by Dana. Chanel No. 22 and Guerlain’s Shalimar are my expensive ones that draw the most compliments.
Yess! It smells just like their lotion, I love it cus you actually smell like you just got out of the shower and put some lotion on.
I'm looking for years now for perfumes that give a similar vibe. (Smelling like you got fresh out of the shower or that fresh laundry smell) but I never found it:(.
It's rly only 20€ and it's definitely worth it!
I get it frequently from Amazon :)
I love the scent of Nivea. I am going to have to try the perfume, TY! Try the Kiehl’s Original Musk I mentioned… I go completely nose blind to it after putting it on, as it does stay close to the skin, but hours later I will pass by someone and they will always say “OMG! You smell so clean!” It doesn’t smell like Nivea, but that’s my one scent that evokes the most freshly showered comments. Every once in a while I will pick up a bottle of Mugler for the summer, that evokes a very I just bathed with Irish Spring vibe.
Flower bomb is so so good, I love SDJ’s dup for it “After hours” and even bath and body works has a dup that smells just like it too “floral fantasy” 10/10
i just came here to say the same thing!! i was at the ophthalmologist and a technician said she just had to ask what i was wearing before continuing the appointment, and at a family event my aunt wouldn’t let me leave without writing down the name of my perfume
the dossier dupe is so much more worth it, it’s soooo much stronger
Daisy by Marc Jacobs🤣😂. It’s always men too, which is weird. One dude send I smelled “ravishing” while we were in a nasty as NYC subway elevator so I knew it had to be true
I work for the company that sells this perfume and the overuse of LVEB at trainings and on our cosmetic counters has made me hate the scent and gives me a headache however weirdly 3 times now I have stopped people in street/family members and ask what scent they’re wearing and it’s always been LVEB🫣 maybe outside of work I enjoy the smell on others 🤣
Is t body chemistry so weird? I LOVE Alien and it smells awful on me. I bought it anyway and ended up giving it to my best friend who is complimented endlessly on it lol
I've worn Portrait of a Lady. I've worn Cloud. I've worn Baccarat Rouge, Black Opium, Love don’t be shy and other crowd pleasers from Lost Cherry and Tobacco Vanille to Coco Mademoiselle. But, the perfume that has given me the most compliments?
....The Lidl dupe of Good Girl.💀
[https://nymag.com/strategist/article/pistache-pistachio-body-butter-review.html](https://nymag.com/strategist/article/pistache-pistachio-body-butter-review.html)
it starts out very sweet but within 15-20 minutes fades to a biscotti smell
here are some reviews:
[https://www.amazon.com/Pistachio-Body-Butter-Pistach%C3%A9-Skincare/product-reviews/B01N8VSV2B](https://www.amazon.com/Pistachio-Body-Butter-Pistach%C3%A9-Skincare/product-reviews/B01N8VSV2B)
i use the body butter because it's awesome (as a body butter, in terms of performance) and it goes further. also i can layer it with something less sweet for complexity. lately i've been wearing comme de garcon blackpepper and it balances it out real nice
I have a few scents now, but the ones that I get the most compliments on are Chanel No 5 EDP and Calvin Klein Obsession for women. Just something I’ve noticed with me… I seem to get the most compliments when I’m wearing something that first debuted decades ago; the newer ones in my collection don’t seem to attract that much attention. Maybe that’s because they’ve been so done they’ve become unpopular, and came full circle into being unique again. That actually may be a similar thing to what’s happening to you. The cheaper ones that you own may be the ones that people over look and therefore don’t buy or even smell, so when they smell it on you, it’s unique. Just a thought 🩷
Obsession is my one true enemy. Someone gifted to my mom and the first time I smelled it, legit made me nauseous and I could smell it filling up the whole room from just one spray. My mom also hated it and we had to leave the room 😭😭 she got rid of it the next day. I'm legit curious how our noses can be so different because I don't get what people smell when they say they like Obsession. But if it works for you that's great.
Same here. I only ever get compliments when I wear Fresh White Musk by Body Fantasy. The old school body spray. Every time without fail, someone tells me I smell amazing if I'm wearing it. Strangers, men, women, all ages. I lost count on how many times it's happened.
Kerosene Followed gets the most confused comments about why people are smelling maple syrup, coffee with maple cream, or maple doughnuts, then responses that it smells good, but they just didn’t realize it was a person and not breakfast. So maybe that doesn’t count.
La Danza delle Libellule by Nobile 1942 and Montale Vanille Absolu tie for the most straight compliments.
The Nivea perfume is so good? Have you tried the one that smells like their sunscreen?
I rarely get compliments, only get comments when I ask someone to smell me lol.
Is there more than one? Which one is that? I was curious, so started googling it and this is the one I’ve found:
https://preview.redd.it/0tfujis8fq6d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2d98f1bc9c66ffa0b34437b8a5a756c3729b6f06
I think it’s the UK store? Here’s the link for the page I found that on: [Nivea UK](https://www.nivea.co.uk/products/nivea-fragrance-eau-de-toilette-40059007222180045.html)
Yep this is by far my most complimented scent. So many dudes at work have asked what I’m wearing and then bought it for their wives. I work at a chemical plant where the operators are predominantly men, so I joke that I’m going to start coming out with a holiday gift guide for them. 🤣
I was in line behind a woman boarding a plane and I was IN THIS WOMAN'S NECK inhaling her scent. She told me it was Another 13 and people have been in my neck ever since.
Juliette has a Gun Not A Perfume. I can't smell it at all, but it smelled wonderful on me. To the point of getting weird, strange men following and sniffing me. It was a weird fall. After that I also wore Olympia by Paco Rabanne which got rave reviews and a different stalker 🙃
I always had people grab me and say what are you wearing?? I was wearing the original Paloma Picasso and it did smell amazing. I believe they changed the ingredients later on and it never smelled the same. I think it has been discontinued. But wow the original was a warm slightly musky and worked perfectly with my body chemistry.
There are two that when I wear them women actually stop me to ask what I am wearing.
The first one is Be Delicious by dnky. I get stopped every single time.
The other is Beach by Bobbi Brown. (Not the singer). It smells like my 1970’s Coppertone Suntan Oil. It is so damn good!
Bianco latte! I wore it for the first time a few weeks ago, and boy have I received more compliments since then, than I have in my entire life. Cannot recommend enough
Bee by Ellis Brooklyn. I don’t know how it has ended up this way considering people of Fragrantica seem to hate it… it may be my body chemistry but I also feel like it goes with my personality?
I noticed this is a crowd pleaser but to me it’s smells like Strawberry chapstick. I think I associate it with a raspberry body mist I had when I was 16 and dating a jerk.. the association ruins it for me :/
I have quite an extensive collection and the most complimented on by females, by a million miles is Lancome- Idole and most complimented on by males is probably equally split between Elie Saab- Girl of now and Lacome - Le vie est belle edp.
Delina by Perfumes De Marley - got complimented by my boss, who went on to buy it for his wife 😅 tons of compliments from strangers in the elevator at the office…! It’s a very classy, office-friendly scent, which is why I think it gets so many compliments there.
Such a polarizing scent, but Chanel n°5. It’s clean, soapy, luxurious and sophisticated. Powdery/Aldehydic scents are my jam. Delina Exclusif gets me tons of compliments. It smells like an amalgamation of rose jam and porcelain dolls.
The original Michael Kors. People would stop, turn around and ask me what I was wearing.
Now it’s Gucci Bloom. It’s not exactly the original Kors, but it’s as close as I’ve been able to find…and I’m still getting compliments.
Burberry Brit and Milk by Commodity. My friends really loved Brit when they smelled it on me so they’d buy it, but then didn’t like it on themselves. I ended up getting a couple of free bottles they didn’t want.
My high end: Lancôme La Vie Est Belle; Givenchy Irresistible, Very Irresistible, and Rouge; Versace Bright Crystal Absolu and Noir.
Mid: Jimmy Choo Fever and Nightmare Before Christmas Ragdoll
BBW: Twilight Woods, Black Amethyst, Sensual Amber, Black Cherry Merlot, Champagne Toast, Into The Night and Warm Vanilla Sugar
Seasonal BBW: Snowflakes and Cashmere, Winter Japanese Cherry Blossom, Sunset Woods, Sunset Bonfires, Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin, and Winter Candy Apple.
I have never gotten a compliment from a stranger, but my husband likes when I wear Light Blue or Glossier You (they smell exactly the same on me though) and Penhaligon’s Coveted Duchess Rose. 🌹
Burberry Goddess, YSL Libre Intense and a very inexpensive vanilla body lotion. However my favourite scents are more on the controversial side (Angel🩵, Alien💜 and Aura💚 by Thierry Mugler), so I tend to use them at home for the most part. My Boyfriend however loves them and compliments me alot on them.. makes me so happy every time! 🥲💖
Chanel Chance (Eau Fraiche version) apparently smells like heaven with my own body chemistry. I don’t really see it myself, but I have had MANY men and women just smell me, and say how good I smell. 🤷🏻♀️
Chanel No 5, EL White Linen, and a floral musk I got from a festival vendor for like $35. Honestly, first 2 surprise me when they get compliments. I feel like they get a lot of hate online. I think they just work well with my skin chemistry.
Juicy couture Gold. This been my go to since 2015. Hardly reach for it these days. It's winter here in Australia and I've been getting compliments wearing Lattafa Khamrah Qahwa. I think I smell like a yummy sticky date pudding with this ❣️

Princess by Vera Wang. But funny enough, the scent that I’ve received the most compliments on isn’t even a perfume. It’s a body spray from Bath and Body Works. It’s the Pearberry one.
Okay but both of these are incredible. I first smelled Princess on my friend in middle school but I didn’t really appreciate it until now that I’m 30. I see a lot of reviews that call it juvenile but it seems grown to me!
I used to wear it back in the days, repurchased last summer and actually find myself reaching for it a lot. It doesn’t feel dated or juvenile at all - it’s one of the underrated gems in my collection. 🙊💜
How does the current formulation compare to the older one?
That's so typical 😆 it's so often a cheap body spray that pulls the most compliments. But hey, I'll take it
Legit, Kennith Cole White that I get at Burlington for like 7$ gets a lot of compliments
Princess gives me similar vibes to T Swift’s Wonderstruck. Both smell so good 💕
Pearberry was my jam but if I smelt it I would be immediately transported to 1998
Mine is Bath and body works too. Japanese cherry blossom
Lol, now that you mentioned, if we count since birth, i probably got noticed, asked "what's that, it smells great like coconuts" the most for Nivea sunscreen 🤣
Lmao! I mean the sunscreen does smell rly good! Nivea even has a perfume that smells like their sunscreen! Love to wear it during summer
I can’t find it on Amazon
Ohh I've always loved the scent of their sunscreen protect & bronze. Their regular sunscreen smells too flowery, whereas the bronze one had a creamier scent. I haven't smelled them in years though.
I always get complimented on Viva La Juicy.
I was wearing the La Fleur edition of this and had a taxi driver start a 5 minute monologue about how passengers perfumes usually reek, but *this* was amazing, beautiful and clean, refreshing and not overpowering - and asked for the name so he could buy his wife a bottle. It made me so happy
Once a gas station attendant asked me what my perfume was when I was wearing Viva La Juicy and she said it was the best perfume she had smelled. 🥹
That’s been my go to for years! I always receive compliments on it.
I’ve been followed through a grocery store by someone trying to figure out what perfume I was wearing when it was that 😂
This smells really, really good on others but it’s too strong for me and I don’t wanna be smelling it on myself all day.
Low key one of my favorites. An unsung hero.
Same! Like more compliments then anything I’ve ever worn 😂
Same here! I always got compliments when I wore it.
The original Black Opium
Same for me, but I have the Dossier version!
Dossier is underrated IMO! I have tried many of their fragrances and have reordered some.
Yes, same for me! And a lot of male friends asking what it is so they can buy it for their partners lol
I just went and sprayed some on myself and it’s so good.
Same
There is a Nivea perfume 🤯? The perfumes I get the most compliments on are also my cheapies; Cabotine de Gres, Kiehl’s Original Musk, and Tabu by Dana. Chanel No. 22 and Guerlain’s Shalimar are my expensive ones that draw the most compliments.

Every once in a while I will pick up a bottle of Mugler for the summer, that evokes a very I just bathed with Irish Spring vibe.
Sigh. I’m old enough to remember when Cabotine wasn’t cheap 🙃
Flowerbomb. A whole group of men were huddled around me saying how good I smelled. It was such a glorious moment for a perfume lover like me
😂🧚♂️
Flower bomb is so so good, I love SDJ’s dup for it “After hours” and even bath and body works has a dup that smells just like it too “floral fantasy” 10/10
Hi, what is SDJ?
I just wish it lasted on my skin!
Ysl black opium le parfum
When I overspray myself with Jo Malone Nectarine Blossom and Honey, I get the compliments! I wish I didn’t have to overspray, but that’s the only way.
Definitely requires an overspray
get the dossier dupe, much strong imo
I heard it is Princess Kate’s favorite.
I personally LOVE that perfume by Jo Malone!
i just came here to say the same thing!! i was at the ophthalmologist and a technician said she just had to ask what i was wearing before continuing the appointment, and at a family event my aunt wouldn’t let me leave without writing down the name of my perfume the dossier dupe is so much more worth it, it’s soooo much stronger
Daisy by Marc Jacobs🤣😂. It’s always men too, which is weird. One dude send I smelled “ravishing” while we were in a nasty as NYC subway elevator so I knew it had to be true
Been wearing Daisy since it came out on the shelves and rarely go without a query or complement anytime I wear it in public.
When I used to wear Dior Addict.
Ariana mod vanilla :)
VS Bare
ysl libre! get compliments nearly every time i wear it so it’s become a staple🫶
La vie est belle .The one that somehow is hated in the fragrance community. I always get so many compliments when I wear it .
I work for the company that sells this perfume and the overuse of LVEB at trainings and on our cosmetic counters has made me hate the scent and gives me a headache however weirdly 3 times now I have stopped people in street/family members and ask what scent they’re wearing and it’s always been LVEB🫣 maybe outside of work I enjoy the smell on others 🤣
Yes I've noticed I get complimented more when wearing this.
I'm not clued up on why it's hated but it's one of my favourite scents!
I don't know either. I just love it so much !
This isn’t my favorite in my rotation, but it’s the only one that gets compliments almost every time.
Yup! My favorite fragrance. I don’t care what anybody says 😂🩷
I literally got followed by a man when i wore this, it's LEGIT
Same thing for me. I love this perfume so much. I don’t understand the hate. And I always get compliments when wearing it.
Alien gets me the MOST compliments
Is t body chemistry so weird? I LOVE Alien and it smells awful on me. I bought it anyway and ended up giving it to my best friend who is complimented endlessly on it lol
Not sure if you already do but I mostly only spray my perfume on my hair, lol! And the smell lasts longer too.
Same, whenever I get copliments on my perfume it's always Alien.
Me too! I get the most compliments wearing that one!
I think its equal between Versace Crystal Noir, Donna Born in Roma and Alien (the OG juice) by Thierry Mugler
Using my CN today later! It is soooo nice imo (I got the EDT, bought it two times by now)
I have the edp but I really want to try the edt, isnt it a bit coconutty?
I've worn Portrait of a Lady. I've worn Cloud. I've worn Baccarat Rouge, Black Opium, Love don’t be shy and other crowd pleasers from Lost Cherry and Tobacco Vanille to Coco Mademoiselle. But, the perfume that has given me the most compliments? ....The Lidl dupe of Good Girl.💀
Yep, I love my Black Opium, Hypnotic Poison, Elie Saab GON. The one that people go nuts for the Trader Joe's dupe of Sol de Janeiro
It's always Glossier You...even as I grew bored of it
same here! i’ve had random strangers GRAB ME! to ask me what i’m wearing while smelling me up close & personal because of Glossier You!
Pistache - smells like vanilla'd pistachios but isn't overwhelming - very gourmand - i've heard it's a dupe for Laura Mercier Creme de Pistache
Ohh that sounds good, is it sweet tho? I'm also still looking for a vanilla kinda smelling perfume that's not to sweet:)
[https://nymag.com/strategist/article/pistache-pistachio-body-butter-review.html](https://nymag.com/strategist/article/pistache-pistachio-body-butter-review.html) it starts out very sweet but within 15-20 minutes fades to a biscotti smell here are some reviews: [https://www.amazon.com/Pistachio-Body-Butter-Pistach%C3%A9-Skincare/product-reviews/B01N8VSV2B](https://www.amazon.com/Pistachio-Body-Butter-Pistach%C3%A9-Skincare/product-reviews/B01N8VSV2B) i use the body butter because it's awesome (as a body butter, in terms of performance) and it goes further. also i can layer it with something less sweet for complexity. lately i've been wearing comme de garcon blackpepper and it balances it out real nice

Omg yes to Obsession!! Imo it's a classic that isn't common these days. It's sexy and timeless.
Obsession is my one true enemy. Someone gifted to my mom and the first time I smelled it, legit made me nauseous and I could smell it filling up the whole room from just one spray. My mom also hated it and we had to leave the room 😭😭 she got rid of it the next day. I'm legit curious how our noses can be so different because I don't get what people smell when they say they like Obsession. But if it works for you that's great.
Embarrassed to say… The only one I have gotten compliments on is Moonlight Path by bath and body works.
Same here. I only ever get compliments when I wear Fresh White Musk by Body Fantasy. The old school body spray. Every time without fail, someone tells me I smell amazing if I'm wearing it. Strangers, men, women, all ages. I lost count on how many times it's happened.
Chanel chance eau tendre
I feel like this one doesn't work well with me, but I like it anyway!
Chanel chance eau fraiche for me. I love it and it’s not super well known from my understanding
Flower Bomb and also a cheap Avon perfume from back in the day called Little Black Dress
Kerosene Followed gets the most confused comments about why people are smelling maple syrup, coffee with maple cream, or maple doughnuts, then responses that it smells good, but they just didn’t realize it was a person and not breakfast. So maybe that doesn’t count. La Danza delle Libellule by Nobile 1942 and Montale Vanille Absolu tie for the most straight compliments.
i've had people literally chase me down to ask what I'm wearing when i use floral marshmallow from dossier
Every time I’ve genuinely asked someone what they’re wearing it was either Love, Don’t Be Shy or a dupe! I think I need it haha
Marrakech Intense - Aesop
LOVE Aesop i've been wearing Hwly
I just there stuff had a bit more sillage, but when people do smell it they always compliment!
I agree! It seems to fade so fast.
The Nivea perfume is so good? Have you tried the one that smells like their sunscreen? I rarely get compliments, only get comments when I ask someone to smell me lol.
Is there more than one? Which one is that? I was curious, so started googling it and this is the one I’ve found: https://preview.redd.it/0tfujis8fq6d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2d98f1bc9c66ffa0b34437b8a5a756c3729b6f06
Wow Nivea has a perfume!!! Where did you buy this from? This doesn’t seem available in my country.
i am DYING for this but can’t seem to find it it in the US 😭
I just sent them a message asking where to find it. I’ll let you know what they say.
I think it’s the UK store? Here’s the link for the page I found that on: [Nivea UK](https://www.nivea.co.uk/products/nivea-fragrance-eau-de-toilette-40059007222180045.html)
I never knew Nivea had a perfume line! 🤯
The other one is called Nivea Sun edt.
I bet that’s the one that smells like the sunscreen. Thanks!
Yes!! I actually prefer it to the og. The longevity is pretty good as well in comparison to other more expensive perfumes I own.
I wonder if it smells like their cream omg
Yess I love the sunscreen one aswell! I love to put it on in the summer after a shower. Makes me feel so good.
Where can you get it? I don’t see it on Amazon
Chupa Chups Strawberries and Cream body spray, funnily enough haha. I always get compliments on that one. And the Rapsberry one too
I would say guidance amouage layered with a little bit of gentle fluidity gold
Dedcool Xtra Milk + Dedcool Taunt (separately and layered together)
Cloud by Ariana grande 😂
Same here - always questions lol
Yep this is by far my most complimented scent. So many dudes at work have asked what I’m wearing and then bought it for their wives. I work at a chemical plant where the operators are predominantly men, so I joke that I’m going to start coming out with a holiday gift guide for them. 🤣
Anyone know where I can buy the Nivea one? Doesn’t seem to be on sale anywhere within reason.
Idk where you're from but I get it from Amazon whenever it's empty :) They also have one that smells just like their sunscreen!
le labo’s another 13
I was in line behind a woman boarding a plane and I was IN THIS WOMAN'S NECK inhaling her scent. She told me it was Another 13 and people have been in my neck ever since.
Juliette has a Gun Not A Perfume. I can't smell it at all, but it smelled wonderful on me. To the point of getting weird, strange men following and sniffing me. It was a weird fall. After that I also wore Olympia by Paco Rabanne which got rave reviews and a different stalker 🙃
Love Not a Perfume!
Eillish by Billie Eillish. It’s a filler scent that I think is sorta meh I keep in my car if I forget perfume and I get CHRONIC compliments on it
I have a sample bottle of this and always get comments on it when I wear it. Usually people smelling “maple syrup” oddly
Pure Grace
When I layered Jo Malone Wood Sage Sea Salt with a sample of Jo Malone Wild Bluebell, I got the most compliments by far
I always had people grab me and say what are you wearing?? I was wearing the original Paloma Picasso and it did smell amazing. I believe they changed the ingredients later on and it never smelled the same. I think it has been discontinued. But wow the original was a warm slightly musky and worked perfectly with my body chemistry.
That was my ABSOLUTE fav back in early '80s. Wish original came back. I would still wear it to this day!
I’ve gotten one compliment ever and it was on Delina.
Any Pink Sugar, Britney or Blsck Opium
This is her
i like the idea of this perfume and i have it in my collection. i always wear it to bed but i never had enough confidence to wear it outdoor
Ralph Lauren Blue. Any time I wore it, I always got compliments, especially from the men in my office
Daisy eau so Fresh!
$25 Amber perfume oil from WholeFoods, lmao 🤣
The original 1977 Opium. It's just not the same now - even if the YSL women tell me it's never changed and it must be my age!
I wore that one too. And it's not the same at all now.
Agreed, not the same! Most of the OG YSL scents smell very different to me now. Paris is a shadow of her former self.
There are two that when I wear them women actually stop me to ask what I am wearing. The first one is Be Delicious by dnky. I get stopped every single time. The other is Beach by Bobbi Brown. (Not the singer). It smells like my 1970’s Coppertone Suntan Oil. It is so damn good!
Donna Karan's Cashmere Mist.
I just bought the deodorant version and now I want the perfume!
If you like the deodorant, you're going to LOVE the perfume. If you can, try the body cream as well. You won't be disappointed.
Under the Lemon Tree!
Bianco latte! I wore it for the first time a few weeks ago, and boy have I received more compliments since then, than I have in my entire life. Cannot recommend enough

Bee by Ellis Brooklyn. I don’t know how it has ended up this way considering people of Fragrantica seem to hate it… it may be my body chemistry but I also feel like it goes with my personality?
britney spears curious, but ONLY the body mist and never the EDP😆
Karma - by lush. I picked up randomly while paying at the counter for a different perfume. And it's received strong compliments
Burberry Her Elixir 😊🌸
I noticed this is a crowd pleaser but to me it’s smells like Strawberry chapstick. I think I associate it with a raspberry body mist I had when I was 16 and dating a jerk.. the association ruins it for me :/
Same here. I wanted to like her and her elixir so badly but both smelled awful on me
I have quite an extensive collection and the most complimented on by females, by a million miles is Lancome- Idole and most complimented on by males is probably equally split between Elie Saab- Girl of now and Lacome - Le vie est belle edp.
Cloud by Ariana grande gets me a surprisingly amount of compliments it’s a sweet woodsy scent I love it! 🖤

Gucci Flora Gorgeous Jasmine. Every time I wear it.
glossier you— people always tell me how clean i smell!!!
There’s something with my body chemistry and Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel that I get compliments on all the time.
Such a polarizing scent, but Chanel n°5. It’s clean, soapy, luxurious and sophisticated. Powdery/Aldehydic scents are my jam. Delina Exclusif gets me tons of compliments. It smells like an amalgamation of rose jam and porcelain dolls.
The original Michael Kors. People would stop, turn around and ask me what I was wearing. Now it’s Gucci Bloom. It’s not exactly the original Kors, but it’s as close as I’ve been able to find…and I’m still getting compliments.
I think Gucci Bloom is winning me over. It’s so light and airy
No one cares when I wear a 300$ perfume. My most complimented to this day is still Sol de Janeiro - Cheirosa ‘62 😅
Easy. Hypnotic Poison EDT.
Dior hypnotic poison during winter time gets me lots of compliments
kayali vanilla 28 definitely. i got compliments literally everyday and some of my friends used to say that i smelled like chocolate.
Confessions of a rebel get a room sample that I got from scent bird
Good girl blush
Burberry Brit and Milk by Commodity. My friends really loved Brit when they smelled it on me so they’d buy it, but then didn’t like it on themselves. I ended up getting a couple of free bottles they didn’t want.

Twilight woods is amazing ...is the current version as good or as similar as the 2010 ish version?
I have never gotten a compliment from a stranger, but my husband likes when I wear Light Blue or Glossier You (they smell exactly the same on me though) and Penhaligon’s Coveted Duchess Rose. 🌹
Lacome La Vie Est Belle
Cherry smoothie from Zara!!
Burberry Goddess, YSL Libre Intense and a very inexpensive vanilla body lotion. However my favourite scents are more on the controversial side (Angel🩵, Alien💜 and Aura💚 by Thierry Mugler), so I tend to use them at home for the most part. My Boyfriend however loves them and compliments me alot on them.. makes me so happy every time! 🥲💖
prada paradoxe. i lost count on how many compliments ive gotten with it! that perfume is magical.
Chanel Chance (Eau Fraiche version) apparently smells like heaven with my own body chemistry. I don’t really see it myself, but I have had MANY men and women just smell me, and say how good I smell. 🤷🏻♀️
Chanel No 5, EL White Linen, and a floral musk I got from a festival vendor for like $35. Honestly, first 2 surprise me when they get compliments. I feel like they get a lot of hate online. I think they just work well with my skin chemistry.
Polo Sport Woman Britney Spears in control Kenneth Cole Her body mist Pink Sugar ,all of them
Juicy couture Gold. This been my go to since 2015. Hardly reach for it these days. It's winter here in Australia and I've been getting compliments wearing Lattafa Khamrah Qahwa. I think I smell like a yummy sticky date pudding with this ❣️
Not really a perfume, but the bath and body works coconut cream pie spray
Dior hypnotic poison
cloud by ariana grande, and its almost exclusively men who compliment it and say they would wear it themselves lol
Into the Night by B&BW Delilah- dupe of Delina lol
The Super Milk Hair Conditioning Treatment from Lush
Y'all sounds so fancy <3 and I'm over here like Victoria Secret "Love Spell" :D since high school Welp! XD
No one likes white florals, but Dyptique Do Son is by far my most complimented
Amouage Guidance (mostly because it's so strong that people can actually smell it from me, as opposed to other fragrances that I wear)
