Thank you so much for emphasizing how rare genuine fragrance compliments are, especially from strangers. It’s incredibly rare where I live too. I’m tired of this constant advertising on social media of “compliment getter perfumes” bc it requires people to be in close proximity to you majority of the time. Usually, I just take it as a perfume that’s pretty universally liked so I might like it. Perfumes are usually just for me to enjoy though 🥰

I have gotten compliments from total strangers quite a few times. Off the top of my head are Balenciaga Paris EDP, Coco Mademoiselle Intense, Guerlain Terracotta - both from men and women. I remember the people were quite effusive. It does happen. Also why does she say fragrance so strangely? Is this the correct pronunciation?

Hi Yana, I wore YSL Libre Le Parfum to a store, & a lady said: What are you wearing? I told her, & I asked I hope it smells okay? She never said that it did. ;) It was summer time in Fl. ;) I will never do that again. Live, & learn. LOL! That was my bad. ;)

Nothing you said about genuine compliments on one’s fragrance choice was controversial ♥️ You’re always authentic and that’s what I love about your videos and why I only trust your reviews 😊

Levant is one of my everyday scents. I adore it, and I've had several, "you smell so good" compliments. It's such a pretty fragrance. Gris Charnel is one both my husband and I wear and get complimented on. Another compliment getter is Narciso Rodriguez Musc Noir. Thank you for a great video 🫶

Hi Yana! Seeing you with the giant bottle of Bal d’Afrique made me smile 😁 I remember that I commented a few months ago letting you know about the limited edition release 🙂 I got it too. I simply can’t get enough of this fragrance, it’s the best!

Bal de afrique is such a lovely perfume but does not last long on my skin, I got less than 2 hours. I bought Vetiver delight from aroma concepts. It’s lasts much longer on me and I also think it smells better than the original.

Amber Musk by Aerin Lauder is so gorgeous. I'm with you on this; it would be one of my warmer weather signature scents too, only the performance is so disappointing. For that price point I just can't justify the purchase. I have a small clutch of 'poor performers' in my collection which I cherish and enjoy despite the frustratingly short presence on my skin and the total lack of projection but I drew my line in the sand and exercise restraint now in my shopping. It's such a great fragrance though. Bummer. So many these days disappoint me on a technical level, even though I want so badly to enter a passionate lifelong love affair with them because they are stunning, literally. Boo! Do you have any fragrances that you adore but deeply resent for not performing well enough to justify the high price?

The extrait smells very different-- I was hoping it was a concentrated version of the original but it's not. The woodiness has been taken beyond that divine sandalwood (possibly a mixture of heavy hitters like cedarwood and so forth) and so it smells masculine in a headache inducing way on my skin unfortunately. Everything I love about the perfect balance of Gris Charnel is knocked about too much in the extrait. It suits my husband's skin chemistry and style much more. Despite loving and wearing mostly masculine-leaning unisex fragrances myself, when things go too heavy on woods and get mixed with other molecular compounds it's just too much. I'll stick with the magnificent original (I can totally understand why you get complimented when wearing it--yum!)

I am so happy you featured Psychedelic Love 💜 it's one of my favorites from Initio and it definitely doesn't get a lot of love on KZread.

This is a cool list! I’m curious about green butterfly. I went to see your website, it’s beautifully done! Congrats! My complimented frags are : ex idolo love and crime, la nuit trésor, pure poison, Zoologist hummingbird, Kelly+jone notes of Chardonnay.

I put on my sample of Ambre Nuit today because it's cloudy and cold! Needed its warm coziness.

@@TheScented 😆 I've always wondered whether feeling jealous was a compliment. You know those times when you ask someone what they have on and it turns out to be some $5 shampoo or $10 fragrance and somehow you love it more than 90% of your own ridiculously expensive collection? 😂 I'm like, should they feel good about me feeling bad? There's a mental health discussion for yah. 🤣

Great list. Glossier You is by far my most complimented scent. I find women compliment the “clean” scents more often, while men compliment the sweeter vanillas and gourmands, etc.

Thanks for the info. I’m a sincere and would only give a compliment if I meant it. I was raised not to say anything that wasn’t nice. It’s not necessary to lie, just to stay quiet. To each her own. Happy shopping. 🛍️

Yes to Psychedelic Love!

I love levant! I told my husband I want it for my birthday 😂 *fingers crossed*

Agree with your definition of compliment getter! A person has to be in a certain range to really smell you. I got the most compliments surprisingly with Glossier You. An interesting one is in Japan by the sales lady who followed me to ask what I was wearing and said she loved it and can’t get it out of her mind so she followed me lol. I gave her the details which she researched right away! I knew then I have to keep this one in my collection 😊

My most complimented (from women) fragrance are Hugo Boss Boss Woman and Calvin Klein Escape. Men seems to like me wearing Cacharel Anais Anais and Chanel Allure. I haven't tried the more expensive ones so I'm happy I can smell nice on a budget 😃👍 💕🤗

Honestly out of all my fragrances, the one I’ve gotten the most compliments from random people is Vanilla Vibes.. and usually long after I’ve applied it. It radiates so well off my skin. Absolutely love it. And omg if only Armani didn’t reformulate the OG Code in the lace looking bottle… ugh that one was beautiful. Also a GREAT substitute for Alien is Ajmal Sacrifice for Her; it’s fresher with a lighter profile but very similar.. layered with Jaïpur Bracelet is 🔥 ❤

What are your thoughts on Chanel Chance eau Tendre EDP and eau Fraiche? The pink and green bottles? Something about the rest of the Chanel perfumes really throw me off, I think it’s the patchouli 😭

Not me but I dated a woman who wore Kenzo Flower. I loved the smell and she regularly got compliments on it

I sold Gris charnel last year, instant regret. I imagine white blouse with jeans, understated but classy

I want to buy alien, but I live in Brazil 🥺🥺 Loved your review

People in Canada are apparently more open to compliment than in Germany😅love levant and gris charnel!

Agreed. Comments aren’t compliments. Narciso Rodriguez For Her EDP (pink bottle) and Fleur Musc have garnered compliments at least a couple of times from other women. Even I’ve complimented other women on their perfume to find out that it was a NR perfume.

100% agree with comments ≠ compliments. Sometimes it’s so bad somebody has to know what it was so they can tell the story later to their friends.

Your voice warms 🥰 up most of the time you talk about Amber Musk 🫠

A question (what are you wearing?) followed by a “you smell so good” or “I like it” is a compliment. Otherwise it’s just a question 😊. That being said, Bloom of Rose from Guerlain is my most complimented fragrance. I need to buy a backup since I heard it’s been discontinued 😢

I guess the perfumes that will get a comment or compliment are the beast mode ones and the ones that has been sprayed a lot. I agree with Mon Guerlain, the only time I have been complimented was when I was wearing Mon Guerlain Bloom of Rose EDT (I think I sprayed a lot). The person asked if I don’t mind giving name of perfume because it smells good and also asked me where I got it. It was around Christmas time. I got my 3.4 oz on sale and sadly I think the reason it was on sale is because they are discontinued. I have to make it last and maybe try the original and new flankers. It’s not my favorite though. I think my favorites offend people, lol. 🤣

The time when I want to compliment people is normally while I'm out walking around the city. I'll get whiffs of people's scents and think they're so lovely, but people will be walking by too quickly to compliment them or I won't be able to tell who the scent trail is coming from.

I had a coworker who honestly just told me she's not a fan of the vanilla scent I frequently wear, but there's one she really loved, so I brought some obvious compliment getters to the office and let her smell Coco Mad among others and it was none of those. Now I think it was Armani Code which I ran out of 🤷‍♀️

And there are these sweethearts at the office who just got used to me wearing different fragrances that they didn't even judge the smell anymore, when I get near they'd say, "hmm smells good", so I don't know about compliments, maybe they were just glad to smell something else other than the air of the hospital where we work 😆

I get compliments all the time with my fragrances. I definitely over spray and I get a compliment almost every time I go out. My husband can’t believe how many people stop me and say I smell amazing. I think if you are not getting compliments you probably aren’t spraying enough or you haven’t found the right fragrance for your chemistry.
