This may have been done before, but I did not find anything on my search. I personally have gotten the most female compliments wearing Creed SMW, but my collection is rather slim. So what has been your experience? Is there one you go to that get's the ladies attention and is not worn by every other guy out there?

Re: Which scent get's you the most female complime

I had a dinner date interrupted last week by a waitress that wasn't our own. Apparently I had walked by her coming in and she just had to know what fragrance I was wearing. She was so cute and apologetic for the interruption. I told her it was Millesime Imperial by Creed. She smiled and handed me a piece of paper and a pen asking if I could write down the name for her. She asked me where I got it and how much it cost me so I told her about Ebay and roughly the price to expect to pay. She shrugged it off saying she would pay anything to have her boyfriend smell like that.

Creed MI is by far my most complemented as of late. Six months ago's champion was probably Geir, closely followed by Fluid Man, Lanvin l'Homme and Mediterraneum.

Re: Which scent get's you the most female complime

I have not had too many compliments yet. I don't know why, but I think most girls my age are too insecure to comment about a strangers fragrance. I work in place where you are bombarded with smell, and its often difficult to pick out who is wearing what.

Issey Miyake or Dolce and Gabbana Pour Homme are probably my most complimented.

Re: Which scent get's you the most female complime

I've noticed how many people here talk about the compliments they receive for wearing fragrances.

That's so nice! I never get any compliments from strangers :-/ Êno negative comments either, people just don't say anything (except when they're drunk - good old Dutch courage!)

Re: Which scent get's you the most female complime

would have to agree with marcello.. Êunless someone's nose is actually buried in my neck, i'm sure that 99.99% of people never really notice. Êperhaps they notice more at work when the air is cleaner than in a bar or restaurant, but then, i doubt my colleagues particularly want to smell me wafting by during the day..

my girlfriend always says i smell "nice". Êat the moment i only wear vetiver, but she is unable to distinguish between any of them, i just know she likes masculine clean scents. Êthat's as good as i'll get from her on a scent.

i did have two compliments on LV musk once from separate woman on the same day.. Êbut others found it too sweet and feminine (like a "cake" were the exact words.. i was never 100% sure about it.)

the answer? Êunless you get sniffed by a fellow scent addict half of the of the women won't even notice and the remaining half won't care as long as you smell clean and not overpowering. Êeven then, of those who do appreciate scent, one woman is as likely to hate the scent that another woman loves. Êso to my mind, you're only ever really wearing them for yourself!

Wow... I'm surprised about the Iceberg Fluid. It gave me a chuckle when ironmics said I would "have a field day" when I saw that (thanks, ironmics!), but I think I'm more shocked than appalled.

I still have my bottle of the Iceberg Colorectal Tropicana Fluid around, in case of Jehovah's Witnesses* or a giant rat infestation. I've considered decanting a small sprayer of it for Jiffy Pop to carry around when she's in rougher parts of town by herself. So, I might have to give it a whirl again.

*[Note: If you are Jehovah's Witness, I mean no offense toward your religious beliefs. Thanks.]

Anyway, I'm just really surprised that it has gotten you so many compliments. I knew you liked it, but didn't know you had gotten so many good comments from others. Wow.

Even though I think it's practically nauseating, I might just have to try it again someday, perhaps when going out with Jiffy Pop around to see what she says. (Yeah, for those of you who may be stalking me, it's true, I said the same thing yesterday.)

Thanks!

Re: Which scent get's you the most female complime

Oh! Here are the ones that have gotten me the most female compliments:

- From my current girlfriend, Jiffy Pop:
YSL's M7, Hanae Mori/HM EDT, Rochas Man, Paloma Picasso's Minotaure.

- From a gorgeous stripper who resembled Asia Carrera, at the Baby Dolls club in Dallas:
Rochas Man.

- From women I've dated in the past:
Thierry Mugler's A*Men (amazing results), Paloma Picasso's Minotaure, Coty Musk for Men (in my early years), Azzaro Chrome.

- From women I barely knew (the cashier at Target and the wife of a friend at a get-together, respectively):
Issey Miyake's L'eau d'Issey, Azzaro Chrome.

There are a few others that I've "tried on" that Jiffy Pop wants me to buy. Those would include Jaguar (blue liquid edition), I Coloniali's Mirra y Mirra, and BoBo's Dinner.

Biggest reaction.........SMN Acqua di Cuba....."Whoa, smells the alley where the winos hang out!"

Didn't attract the type I was interested in so I didn't buy it.

Rive Gauche,Body Kouros, 212, Bulgari Black, Amen, Thierry Mugler Cologne, Michael, Gendarme,Hanae Mori,Versace Dreamer, Extreme Polo Sport I've gotten alot on.


If I had to narrow it down to the one that's gotten the most compliment from girls, it would be Rive Gauche by a mile.

Re: Which scent get's you the most female complime

Strippers and hooters waitresses love MI. They don't like Piper Nigrum so much. It's funny there's good news and bad news.......first the good news, my most complimented fragrance I've worn is Piper Nigrum. I've had about 15 to 20 compliments on it. The bad news.....all or from men. There are many people on the board who would think that's the cats flaps......unfortunately not my bad. The scent still rocks though.

Lanvin L'Homme, followed by Herrera for Men. Really, really intense compliments from women.

(sparing a thought for poor Badger, who handled the cropping-up of Iceberg Fluid better than I anticipated. ::))

Re: Which scent get's you the most female complime

I am with paul. Men have liked Piper Nigrum, but then again, it is not like a lot of men come up and say i smell good. It is more like, hey, that is an interesting cologne you have on.

Women love MI on me. Professional women. and by that, i do not mean hookers. i do not go into hooters, and i do not go into strip clubs, but i could not swear that the lady with the business suit who gets on the elevator with me does not moonlight at at club.

Since I'm new to this scene, I haven't had a lot of experience with the higher end fragrances, but I used to get compliments on Cool Water pretty often.

We'll see if A*men, Rochas Man and Lolita Lempicka have the same effect...

Strangely, for me that would be Chemistry by Clinique. I usually wear much better stuff - at least that's what I think, Chemistry is great but it's not Chanel. But this is the one!

I think you are making JiffyPop up. None of us will believe you until we see a picture of her!!! For totally puerile purposes, of course.

The fragrances that get me the most comments are:

1. When I let off a nasty stinky fart;
2. When I don't leave the fan on in the bathroom.

Ooops, I misread. Compliments, not comments...

1. Hai Karate
2. Guerlain Vetiver

Re: Which scent get's you the most female complime

Rust_Monster: Thanks for stalking me! :) Actually, I really appreciate it when people check out my site, so that's very cool of you. Also, I know that more_i_see has done so as well, so thanks to both of you.

more_i_see: Additional thanks for starting another "post your pic" thread over in the off-topic section. I've posted links to two new pictures of myself (with the goatee) and two pics of Jiffy Pop, for anyone who would like to see them.

Pieter: Indeed, Jiffy is able to post herself, kind of. Due to computer issues as well as family issues (she has two children) she has rarely been able to get online as of late. Hopefully, we'll actually see more postings from her soon, but I can't say how soon. :(

AtinayBoy: Others have probably theorized that Jiffy Pop was just someone I was making up. Heck, when I've posted things about here, even I have thought, "Wow; it would be easy to think that I was just creating this "Jiffy Pop" character to try to impress people." Plus, with the ridiculously low amount of time I've been able to spend with her as of late, thanks to illness and/or her jackass ex- being unwilling to keep their kids, I've started to wonder if she's just a figment of my imagination, too! However, I promise that she is a real, living, breathing, 23-year-old female.

And, to stay on topic, here are a few more that I remember elicited good female reactions:

- Comme des Garcons' CDG2. Amazing scent, though I haven't had as many compliments on it as I have with most of the ones I mentioned earlier in the thread. Thanks for the reminder, zenman7!

- Givenchy's Pi. Some ladies like the scent of caramel corn. :)

- Ralph Lauren's Romance. Excellent, all-around, non-offensive, not-too-unusual-in-any-direction, just-smells-dang-good fragrance.

- Versace's Black Jeans. This was the one I wore on my first date with Jiffy Pop, and she was a big fan right off the bat.

Thanks,

Badger 8)
