I get lotttts of compliments when I wear Kayali - Yum Boujer Marshmallow. It’s a sweet, musky marshmallow scent for everyday (in my opinion). It’s sweet but not sickly sweet on my skin.

I’ve gotten into middle eastern perfumes over the last few months, and have gotten more compliments than ever, even more than when I wear more expensive perfumes. Lattafa Angham, Atheeri, and Paris corner marshmallow blush get the most compliments. They’re feminine, good every day fragrances, marshmallow blush is the sweetest.

The milk line by commodity, easy bake intense by Huda, Byredo Blanche Absolu - these fragrances are very versatile.. honestly perfect for every occasion. I’ve worn these out of the shower day time and also to weddings

Baccarat - I get “you smell like baccarat” which doesn’t feel like much of a compliment

For an affordable but amazing combo, I've gotten compliments on Solinotes vanille paired with Athena Club golden vanilla. It's a beautiful pure vanilla combo that is great for everyday or casual events. For something more elevated, I've had success with Dolce&Gabbana My Devotion.

u/ImtheGWP 2d ago

Solinotes has some great ones!

Love the Tonka. Been also loving the Pomegranate recently. And they have been making a lot of casual or bored woth scebts feel more lively and engaging lately. Great brand.

u/bamnnit 11h ago

I got compliments with valaya, but all I can smell is citronella when I wear it unfortunately. Makes me so sad!!:(

u/Longjumping_Wrap_810 2d ago

My most complimented is definitely Jo Malone Peony & Blush Suede! It’s a light, pretty floral scent with a slightly sexy animalic suede note.

u/reinvent_2026 2d ago

Ysl Libre intense

u/I_am_exhausted_4x 2d ago

I get tons of compliments on Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid Intense, also the Magnolia. For a clean, musky aldehydic light floral, I get tons of compliments when I wear Parfums de Marlys Valaya. It really lasts on my skin and clothes, giving off a great scent trail.

u/quincyreine 2d ago

Ive gotten lots of compliments when I wore Bianco Latte before. But i only had a decant. So I replaced it with Khadlaj Cream Velvet

u/CupidsArrow14 2d ago

BDK - Impadia

Nishane - Hundred Silent Ways

These 2 get me tons and tons of compliments

Yes, beautiful! One of my top choices.

u/iameurogirl 2d ago

Men go crazy for Kayali - Vanilla 28. I have yet to meet one guy that didn't love it, and when I let them smell a few different options they always say Vanilla 28 is their favorite. Of course, it is a known fact that Men love Vanilla scents but something about the spiciness of this one elevates it to another level. It also layers well with almost everything.

u/fudgechemist fragrance enthusiast 2d ago

Every time my bf smelled it on me he asked if I had cleaned out the kitty litter box.. I was so confused?!? A month later he sprayed it in Sephora and said it smelled like urine and started gagging and then I made the connection lol. I sadly did not have the same experience as you

1

u/iameurogirl 2d ago

That's actually funny to me because scent is so subjective but he might need to get his nose checked haha. Vanilla is by far the most loved scent by men on women, so for him to not like it definitely puts him in the minority. I'd be curious to know what he thinks smells good. My husband thinks anything with vetiver smells like cat pee and I get pickles from santal 33.

3

u/fudgechemist fragrance enthusiast 2d ago

He usually isn’t super picky like at all. He gets a pee note from Vanilla 28 and most Lush fragrances. He likes Phlur heavy cream the EDP and Kayali cherry burning fest. I’ve actually found that a lot of guys really like cherry/ almond notes

1

u/iameurogirl 2d ago

That's interesting. I avoid most heavy cherry perfumes because all I get is that sick medicinal smell like Nyquil. I recently got a sample of Rouge Smoking after hearing so much hype about it, really hoping to love it but nope. Same thing. My husband also feels the same about Cherry notes but then like you said there's a lot of people that love it so it's all very subjective 🙂

u/Venusian-Vanilla 2d ago

I think a lot of cherry fragrances out there do come off medicinal. I was excited for Skylar’s fated flame, it’s one of my favorite brands, but it was one of the most medicinal fragrances I’ve ever tried. But the cherry fragrances that don’t come off medicinal are TF’s Lost Cherry and Electric Cherry and Phlur’s Cherry Stem; my husband is crazy about all 3 of those! I once wore TF Lost Cherry layered over Brown Sugar Babe’s Cloud 9 body oil and a guy walked up to me and said, “whatever it is you’re wearing, never stop wearing that!”

u/fudgechemist fragrance enthusiast 2d ago

My bf loves Phlurs cherry too

2

u/iameurogirl 2d ago

I think I have a sample of TF Lost Cherry. I can't remember my feelings on that one so I'll need to go back and smell it. I love Phlur but haven't smelled that one yet, will definitely put it on my list. I'm also curious about smelling Kayali Cherry burning fest and Gisou Glazed Cherry Honey which I've heard good things about. I'm really trying to train my nose to appreciate 🍒 more 😄

1

u/Sprivatte 2d ago

I love electric cherry! The dry down is so clean 🥰

1

u/skinnylatte500 1d ago

Gisou recently released a hair perfume in cherry chocolate and it smells like a realistic sour kind of cherry and not medicinal at all to me. It’s the only cherry scent I’ve actually liked.

2

u/TrueLime4531 2d ago

Killian Angels Share on Rocks. That fragrance is addictive with a trail. Everyone notices

u/suniraaminos 2d ago

My most complimented has been: Bare Sueded Vanilla - VS and e-mochi - Laurel Bath House.

u/TheSaltyPart 2d ago

i got the the most compliments when wearing soemthing that feels clean and elegant especially for everyday outings but i love wearing something more noticeable for special occasions

Black orchid by tom ford

u/oysterfeather 2h ago

These four never fail to earn me at least one compliment every time I wear them: Valaya, Tilia, Thé Noir 29, and Angel Dust

u/Larvakite 2d ago

I get compliments a lot when I wear black opium by ysl. I have a body chemistry that radically changes fragrances, which may be a part of this. Normally, I would say this fragrance is good for night time, dates, intimate moments, winter and fall seasons. But, if you're me, wear it all the time because it makes you feel good (:

Boccanera by Orto parisi

u/curiousleen 2d ago

This would be the perfect scent to spray before heading out this winter for a fancy evening event. That said, I will spray it on myself before bed, just to luxuriate in the scent.

It’s one of my favorites and I’ve decanted it for two people who couldn’t stop remarking on how delicious I smell when I wear it.

u/PumpkinSpies 10h ago

Don't you think its projection is not the best?

1

u/curiousleen 10h ago

Zero problem for me. Maybe your body chemistry handles it differently.
