It does not matter. This thread changed from: "Which scent gets you the most female compliments" to "Today I've been complimented on *"

Good of you to volunteer Silly Rabbit!!

A few comments on Dior Homme Intense, which is almost a given seeing as how popular Dior Homme has been when i've worn it.

Surprisingly, but more pleasingly, the ladies appreciate Hypnotic Poison on me. Go on guys try it, I dare you!!!

You will be astounded at the compliments you get from the fairer sex.

Was at a small housewarming party last night for a college friend and we were all sitting around the table late into the party talking casually when my college friend who was sitting next to me suddenly blurted out "okay I need to say something, you smell really damn good", which instantly caught everyone's attention at the table. I think he had been wanting to say it earlier and was now embarrassed for having said it so loudly because he tried to cover it up with a joke "I mean...what you're wearing...it's so pungent and all". Several other people at the table quickly backed up his initial assessment by saying how much they liked it but just hadn't said anything and apparently some of the girls earlier in the night had had a discussion amongst themselves about how good I smelled. Was very surprised by the positive reaction, would not have thought this to be such a crowd pleaser

The fragrance in question: DHI
post #3373 of 5550
At work the other day. Was grabbing a cofee refill in the canteen at work. middle aged woman who also works in the City Hall complemented my fragrance...

The frag in question: L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Intense

Now this seemed kinda odd to me. Ive been wearing La Nuit de L'homme (also at work), Dior Homme Intense and Guerlain L'instant Extreme ALOT lately... nothing. No comments or anything...

Well, sometimes things go different than you thought they would!

Very true, after the success of DHI at the housewarming party last night, decided to wear DHS to the gym today. Was in a conversation with a girl I talk often too there while we were both going up the stairs when she stopped and let me go ahead of her and she proceeded to follow directly behind me asking "What are you wearing? What smells incredible". I told her DHS and she continued to follow behind me to catch the sillage with a 5 mile smile on her face. I've worn other fragrances to the gym and gotten compliments from her but gauging from her reaction this was by far her favorite.

hahah funny you say that because thats where I wear DHS to also.

post #3380 of 5550
Hello there! I have been lurking on this site reading reviews and forum posts (including this entire thread) for the last year, and had an experience last night which compelled me to make my first post. I blind-bought Azzaro Pour Homme based on 131 positive / 8 negative reviews, and because it sounded like something I would like. Last night I applied one spray to the neck, one spray to a wrist, then dabbed the wrists together and then behind each ear before going out to a local bar to shoot some pool. I had a sense that it was projecting pretty well after an hour, and was hoping I hadn't over-applied, as the last thing I wanted was room-clearing "nuclear silage", LOL.

A lady who was shooting pool came up and asked "what cologne are you wearing?" I told her what it was and I asked if it was too strong. She replied: "Not all all, it smells amazing!" and "there's something about it that's making me crazy", ect. She kept coming around taking deep whiffs and then asked me if I was single. I told her as a matter of fact I was, and then she said "you smell like someone who's newly single" and then added: "with that face and that smell, you'll be getting plenty of ass for sure"...A few more choice comments: "It's like pure pheromones" and "it smells WAY better than the man in the can." "Man in the can?" I replied. "Yeah, the blue man that comes in a silver can". "Oh, you mean JPG Le Male?" "Yeah, that one!" (sorry, JonnyLeMale - LOL)

As has been stated in this thread ad nauseam, there's no such thing as a Panty Dropper reducing women to swooning nymphomaniacs; it's the whole package. But so far this has been the most dramatic reaction to any scent I've worn, beside the fact that it was the very first testing of a new, blind-bought scent. Two thumbs up!

And on that note, I think its high time we canned this thread. Its really become quite silly, when after all, Dollars and Scents has clearly and cogently made the point that experienced fragrance wearers understand. I doubt Azzaro PH would have made a Top 30 list of most complimented scents...

Becoming silly? Dude, the whole premise for this thread that its a silly topic. Thats all it is, ever was and always will be. Its a lighthearted, fun thread nothing else. Surely some people take it VERY seriously like some people do with.. I dont know... Star Wars?

Youre like the guy whos watching Lord of the rings and in the middle of the movie suddenly goes "Wait a minute... trolls doesnt exists in real life. This is a silly movie"! :-p

Thread like this have to be read on their own premises. Fun, lighthearted, not-to-serious information. And thats exactly what it delivers. Nothing else....
post #3383 of 5550
Keeping with the silly nature of this thread, I had a strange day today. A girl at work wanted to buy something for her husband's birthday, so I took in a number of my collection for her to sample. This involved various people in the office wearing different smells on each arm, and everyone sniffing each other (which must have looked pretty weird to an outsider)!

The selection was: -

- Live Jazz
- Burberry London
- Body Kouros
- Dior Homme Intense
- Marc Jacobs Bang
- Dior Ambre Nuit
- YSL La Nuit de L'Homme
- Chergui
- Tuscan Leather (I threw this one in as a curveball. It wasn't popular!)

The winner hands down was DHI. Second place was a tie between Bang and Live Jazz.

You want compliments on uncommon fragrances that you won't smell on EVERY guy you walk by, so I suggest you not shop at Macy's, etc. Try some of these fragrances to name a few...

Le Labo Rose 31
Creed Aventus
Tiffany & Co. Sport
Bond No. 9 New Haarlem
Tom Ford Noir de Noir
By Kilian Back To Black Aphrodisiac
Serge Lutens Chergui

Received a few compliments for wearing Black Aoud by Montale. This one sure is an attention grabber!

I've never understood the concept of closing a thread unless posters were offending others, or some rules of Basenotes were violated. If a thread doesn't interest me, I don't open it.

I've received two negative coments in the last three days:

Dior Homme Intense: " you smell like your grandma "
New Haarlem: " who's sweating garlic "

Went to a coffee with an ex today and the response I got from burberry london was ridiculous. From the first hug she told me I smelt amazing and from then on she couldn't get close enough, often just leaning into my chest/neck for random sniffs throughout the afternoon haha. I always knew burberry london had it in it such a great scent.

I wasn't being that serious but I agree with your comments. These threads should definitely be approached from a perspective of silliness; too many people take this as the sole-source of finding a show-stopper and no "real" such thing exists.

I'm still a newbie in this fragrance world but my first cologne was dunhill desire (red bottle)- I got crazy compliments from different girls, friends begging me to try it and so on... I didn't think anything of it.

2nd was cool water GAME, i bought it because a friend who works in a perfume shop recommended it to me. I have been using it for 6 years, every gf i had went bananas for it. spraying it on their bed sheets, pillows and their sweater to smell like me.... great compliment getter.. love it.

3rd was chrome, i don't really enjoy it like the rest, but i got a lot of compliments (you smell good) kinds, and one lady couldn't get over how good i smelled, she kept saying it every 5 minutes. I layered it with cool water game and it smelled even much better...

4th le male, shocking how this cologne didn't get any compliments from people. it doesn't project great on my skin. i was disappointed although i love the vanilla mint smell of le male. i only got the "it smells good" when i asked, it didn't project enough for them to notice it... shame

I rarely get many compliments from women, but today I have gotten 3 compliments from 3 seperate women that have never noticed my fragrances before. One was the lady at the checkout counter at Banana Republic; she said I smelled very nice. A worker in the cafeteria at work complimented me, and a lady that was standing beside me at Walgreen's.

I was wearing Cartier Roadster.
post #3393 of 5550
The main reason I wear fragrances is for my own enjoyment. If I can't at least get a whiff of what I'm wearing throughout the day, then I can't enjoy it. If I can't enjoy it, then I don't want to wear it.

How many sprays, Barry? I wore this recently and almost made myself sick with 3.

2 to the chest, and 1 shot to each upper inside of each elbow.

Strange, people seem to be mesmerized by this one. Women, not young girls. Mature, good-looking professional type women. I have to admit I have really come to love this one as well. It has this salty ambergris kind of thing on me mixed with the herbal mint. And the vanilla softens it all as it seems almost to creep from my pores.

Try not to concentrate on it when you wear it Chuck...just let it go and don't analyze it. This smells so sophistivcated and manly, I could easily see a gent like you at work with this one. If I smelled it on someone, I would think...there goes someone with their act together and fulll of quiet confidence. A mature guy...but has a sense of today's style mixed with timeless taste.

Thanks, Barry. Eloquent as usual!

I received a comment from a female coworker on my SotD. She asked what it was, and I kinda freaked and said, "Uh, it's some Arabian wood stuff." It was Le Labo Oud 27.

Still it's Kurkdjian's APOM. Last time it was my sister who complemented it very warmly. Interestingly, it happened late afternoon, after about 9-10 hours of applying the scent, and I have a very easy hand with APOM. So longevity, and sillage are extemely good, also.
post #3402 of 5550
Got numerous compliments on Lumiere Noire Pour Homme yesterday, and it was my first time wearing it.

I really need to get some samples of APOM and Cologne Pour Le Soir. I've only sprayed them on cards, but think they are awesome.

Went to starbucks yesterday with a friend and he got complimented over the counter wearing le male. After he walked away after ordering I got a "wow that smells nice too" on Pure Havane. I guess what it really says is le male was destroying pure havane all over on the projection front hahaha

same. gets complimented alot but really not even close to one of my favorite summer frags. to be honest i got it because the bottle looks nice next to dior homme. Id take AdG, Chanel Allure Sport and Blanche, Issey, Bvlgari Aqva, Bleu de Chanel, etc over Dior Homme Sport
post #3411 of 5550
Believe it or not, RSVP by Kenneth Cole. I'd personally rate it about 5/10; a real middle of the road mens casual fragrance. In one day alone I received 3 very positive unsolicited comments from complete female strangers.

Curve by far. I don't know what's in Curve that makes girls love it so much, but when I wear it girls notice it. It's followed very closely by Armani Acqua Di Gio.

Curve totally rocks on my 15-year old son. Did nothing on me. Curve is a legendary lady-killer, appealing to women of all ages (my 65-year old mother as well). It spans all age groups in both who wears it well (I know a 75 year old who wears it) and who receives it well.

If you're not really a scent-head, and just like smelling good and getting noticed, the combo of Curve and Fierce will do the trick.

Fierce is another good one for compliments. I own it but I only wear it a few times a year. I have to be in the mood to wear Fierce even though girls go gaga over it. When I ask girls what their favorite men's cologne is, quite a few of them go with Fierce.

Just to be off topic for a second, don't you think that thats a bit dangerous with an ex?
But yes, I am eagerly awaiting cold weather so I can start wearing London. It seems like just about everyone loves it. I'd be interested to see if anyone compliments me on it in my age group.

I have found that so far to date, my most complimented smells, are the smells that are either very common in my age group, or smell similar to something common (even when they arent at all the same to my nose). For example, I'm sure if I wore something from Hollister or Abercrombie I would get boatloads of compliments. Anything I actually like, and wear regularly, however do not get compliments at all.

Getting off work, A&F Fierce is all over my clothes during class, always get complimented, on smell and dress!
A*Men is getting some really nice attention as well!
