"Excuse me. What fragrance are you wearing?"

Have you ever asked someone what fragrance they were wearing and then bought it within the next week? What was the fragrance?

For me, the fragrance was Metropolis by Estee Lauder.

Yes, and I seriously considered buying it for myself: Coco Mademoiselle on a girl at work. I've never smelled a guy wearing anything I'd want for myself.

Oh yes, only once so far. I think over 2 years ago, I asked a friend's friend in a club what he was wearing. The next day, I bought it - Loewe Solo. I don't use it much now.

Otherwise, I do recall, in my early teens, finding out about CK One because a close friend was wearing it. I think it took me a couple of months of saving my pocket allowance for school just to get it.

Nope, never happened. I don't know many people, male or female, who wear perfumes I'm not already very familiar with and/or not interested in. And I rarely smell frags (let alone quality frags) on strangers here.

Escada - the original one. I was walking around Whiteley's in Bayswater , London and this middle eastern woman smelt glorious - it was Escada.

My wife used to ask people that smelled good what they were wearing. She would come home and say something like, "Hey Brad, you gotta buy (blank), it smells hot!"

I never cared for LeMale then smelled it on someone 10 years after it came out and it was a whole new experience. So, I went out to get it.

Only the once. I asked my cousin a few years ago on his wedding day what he had sprayed and it was Amouage Dia. I ordered a bottle for myself the very next day
