Which scent gets you the most compliments? Pt.2

[Pippin06]

Same for our friend hednic, I believe.

LOL--Just sold hednic 2 bottles of my aramis--one current formula--one vintage 1978. He loves the stuff.

I've been spending most of my year trying many different fragrances whenever I step out. This forum has been a real direction provider so thanks folks lol. Most of my compliments come from pretty popular stuff I guess. Ordering as best I can. Sorry for the lengthiness

1. MFK BR540 Extrait - . People have really gone out of there way to ask me about what I'm wearing with this. Pizza shops, malls, even got pulled aside at a funeral for this one oddly enough. There's a stranger in my face almost any time I'm out with this. A mask penetrator for sure lol. Its definitely my #1 for compliments by far.
2. Creed Aventus - Haven't rocked this much lately, but when I do there's a good chance someone will comment. I feel this is easy money on most folks.
3. MFK Amyris Homme - Most recent pickup. One of the few fragrances that I like on me as much as others do. Handful of compliments from coworkers and friends.
4. V&R Spice Bomb (original and extreme) - I've noticed the people that really enjoy this on me have made absolutely 0 mention of (or dislike) anything else I wear lol. The exception being #5. Most compliments for both seem to come from dates/interests. I wonder what it is.
5. Dior Homme Eau for men - see 4.
6. Paco Rabanne 1 million - I find most of my compliments with this come mostly from male friends or passersby, but it definitely performs.
7. Imaginary Authors - Memoirs of a Trespasser. Another recent pickup. The comments on it are very brief but positive. I enjoy it.
8. Prada Luna Rosa - Solid getter as well. Rarely in the mood to wear it though.
9. John Varvatos Artisan - was complimented a few months back in a grocery store where a woman pulled me in by the arm out to sniff again.

This year has been wild for me when it comes to compliments. I'm normally used to a handful of mentions if any at all. Ill take it lol.

Grizzly do you have similar comments on BR540 EDP?

 

[Grizzlebee]

I've only worn the EDP from a decant a few times, and got no real remarks on it. I like it, but It doesn't seem to last long on me at all. My ex once said she couldn't tell I was wearing anything, and when took a deep sniff said I smelled nice but also kinda waxy like lipstick lol.

Yesterday PDM - Carlisle, today African Leather by Memo.

 

[pie muncher]

Yesterday 2 different women complemented me on Bentley Intense whilst I was shopping.

 

[PrinceRF]

Got an enthusiastic compliment from my girlfriend yesterday on Cedrat Boise who said it smells very masculine.

 

[bibo]

Sauvage Elixir

 

[chaserx911]

Today, I rolled down my car window and a worker at 5 Minute Oil Change standing 5 feet away complimented me on my "Y" LIVE. He asked what it was so I told him.

 

[rum]

You know how kids say the best things, right?

One of my kids caught a whiff of Bel Ami on me (my SOTD at the time), gave me one of the best smiles ever and said 'you smell just like a daddy today'.

 

[ChuckW]

That's a genuine compliment right there! Treasure it (and them). I got a similar compliment from my young son around 18 years ago on Creed Tabarome Millesime. He was around 6 or 7.

 

[Zenwannabee]

As many fragrances as I love and wear, the irony is that my Gillette Cool Wave aftershave after all these years is the one real compliment-getter. That and Obsession…

 

[ChuckW]

My wife and son love my new ADG Profumo. I wore it yesterday and she picked it for me again for a party tonight.

 

[Danny Mitchell]

Sunday afternoon I got two compliments from co-workers on my new Ombre Leather Parfum.

Curious to try this Danny. Do you like it and if you owned the EDP - how do they compare?

I like it more than the EDP. The Parfum is stronger and smoother. Other than that, they're VERY similar to my nose. It's not necessary to own both, IMO, even though I do. lol

 

[parfumeur081]

BR540 Extrait. First negative, and after that positive compliment in one day. From the same person. Weird fragrance. The oppening is pungent dentist office, latter it makes wonders I guess

ADG Profumo @ the grocery store

 

[kelvon]

OK i know I hardly get compliments and even posted a comment in this thread previously that I hardly get any. But twice in one week I got a compliment. One from a lady working in the gas station about 5-10 feet away saying I smell really nice which took me by surprise since I sprayed 3 hours earlier, and was so shocked I got a compliment that I did not know what to say but thank you.

The second time was from a platonic female friend of mine who was standing next to me in a bar and said wow you smell really nice and even wanted to smell neck.

Both times it was chanel allure homme sport eau extreme with 3 sprays.

I was grocery shopping this morning when two women corralled me. One of them did the talking while the other one kept nodding in agreement. "You smell soooo good! What are you wearing?! Don't be surprised to look up and see me following you!" 😄 We had a good laugh and I answered their question. To me, it just smells like a chemical bomb until the dry down but women are CRAZY about Sauvage Elixir! I'm sure that my graduation to niche fragrances have prejudiced my nose. 🥴 However, I've learned that you need to dance with the one that brung ya to the dance! 😉

 

[dealt7faux]

Sauvage Very Cool Spray

 

[Ruffdiamond]

Sauvage Elixir

 

[NickZee]

Had a third date with someone today and she loved Unique’e Beverley Hills Exclusive, and then she mentioned it smelled far better than my choice of fragrance on our previous date (Fan Your Flames)

 

[goodsmellingviking]

Latest compliment was the other day wearing polo blue gold blend EDP, a girl came up and started a conversation and was very generous with compliment of how lovely i smelled, said she normally would not go up to someone and compliment a smell like that, but this one was apperently very appealing for her.

And as always in winter the few times i have worn boucheron jaipure homme there has been compliment every single time, guess soemthing with the notes in winter really shines on me and project very well.

 

[ChuckW]

Dior Homme 2020 for me today. I love it when a dumb-reach workhorse scent gets a compliment!

 

[lfc1892]

Oud Palao. Was told it smelled of pomegranate. Didn’t know if that was a compliment or an insult.

 

[Hothamwater]

The ones i've gotten the most compliments on, by far, are clive christian X and amouage Interlude man.

It has been literally impossible to sample this here, although it seems to be easy to get hold of online. I am just really anti-blind buying these days!

 

[buyers_remorse]

In the huge wardrobe I have always wanting the latest and having spent a fortune whilst driving around in a £100 motor (fiscally irresponsible I know), the huge surprise is Catalyst by Halston. A £12 perfume trumps the ones that cost 20x more than this. Other ones are Quorum and Aramis.

I`m guessing you have tried the original polo blue? This has strong DNA still from the original polo blue but with a small modern twist, just abit more rounder and less sharp then the original, i would say it`s just like original polo blue toned down abit so it`s less shouty, more classy i feel, perfect for summer evenings etc

But i hear you with the blind buying, the trend of making everything just sweet makes it hard to blind buy these days.

How different is it to the EdP version of Blue?

 

[Borzoi]

I'm not a compliment chaser by any means, but I came here to give you nice people three scents I get complimented on almost every single time I wear them as a 24-year old guy:

1. Prin - Anatolia (2020)
2. Dior - Eau Sauvage Parfum (2012)
3. Versace - L'Homme (1984)

I can strongly recommend them!

 

[goodsmellingviking]

Hi, sorry late reply, i havent tried the latest edp blue, so i can only compare it to the vintage original polo blue.

 

[steve668]

NASOMATTO PARDON.

 

[Alex F.]

I only seem to get compliments for synthetic fresh scents. 😒 The one I've been complimented on most is Lacoste essential. My guess is that people might feel it's safe to compliment such harmless smells.

Same for me too. Every single time I wear this I have some chick running after me asking me what is and write down the name for them/tell them. Every dam time. This one lady was following me in the store and she passed me and said "wow you smell really good I just wanted to let you know that." Thanks I guess lol

 

[Franco65]

TF Cafè Rose and FM Music for a While were pretty successful!

 

[MikeJ]

DHI from people at work, and Spicebomb Extreme from friends and family. The latter is a huge hit.
