Thread Starter 
Has anyone ever suggested having a Compliment Of The Day Thread. I will consist of the compliments you received for that day and what fragrance you were wearing, just a thought

In theory it's definitely a nice idea but I think there would be too little compliments to really do an every-day version. Perhaps weekly would work?

Or even monthly perhaps...

Maybe when people are complimented, his intention was for people to note the fragrance and describe the situation? This needn't be every day for obvious reasons.

I'm afraid going down this route will be in bad taste in my opinion.

It's a good idea for an ongoing thread i think. Doesn't really need to be daily, weekly or monthly though. One thread should do just fine.

The ongoing thread would be nice....or compliments for a certain month....This would be something to think about.....

It would have to be a sticky. That would be the only thing that would stop it from falling too far.

well I got two compliments at this cocktail party on saturday!

one from a woman who came up to me and said "you smell GOOD". admittedly I know her already. and the other from a man who said the same thing and I told him as was true I had put lots and lots of Mark Birley on. it was like 12 sprays at least but he kept contradicting me "It's not cologne" but he was wrong.

I remember the first time I smelled it on someone and had to ask what it was I didn't think it was cologne on the person either. And it kind of reminds me of that olive and aloe soap from kiss my face like that quality is what comes to mind.

and no I'm not Mark Birley I'm just mostly living in a cloud of his making, although trying a lot of other stuff these days and starting to like some of it...

I got a nice one today.

I was rushing from an appointment and passing through a public square. I passed a homeless woman with a bottle in a brown paper bag in her hand who was loudly telling some story to nicely dressed tourists.

I passed by six feet away. "Don't he smell good!" she declared.

I was in Annick Goutal's Vetyver.

I was in a book store a while back killing time while waiting to meet up with a couple of friends. Out of the corner of my eye I catch this cute mid 20's girl talking to her boyfriend. She's looking kind of embarrased and it looks like he's kind of pushing her my way.

Finally she comes over to me and works up enough courage to ask, "what cologne are you wearing? I've never smelled anything like it and it's amazing!"

I was wearing...Creed Tabarome Millesime!

A friend of mine got a great compliment from a female coworker. Upon sniffing his cologne she exclaimed:

"HEY YOU DON'T SMELL LIKE CRAP TODAY!"

Lucky him!
