Which scent gets you the most female compliments?

[HDD8]

Last week I wore Thallium Black and got six compliments, on six different days, from 6 different ladies.

This week I've been wearing Liz Claiborne's Curve - with very similar results......

Next week, I shall mostly be wearing Gucci pour Homme II, possibly......

I found it unusual but recently got few compliments while wearing Lalique White.

If you are going to hit the clubbing scene in brazil definitely take a bottle of Ultrared for men. I had compliments every night.

[L'Homme Blanc Individuel]

+1 for John Javratos, original. I usually don't get great longevity from this one, but yesterday, it was still doing well on me after 12 hours. If I always got that sort of longevity from JV, it would be one of my favorites.

Y'know... that is interesting. One of my favorite YouTube reviewers is a guy named Kristo, and he swears by Lalique White. He's such a big fan of it that he stopped putting it in his summer top ten lists because it would be number one every time. I've seen a few others rave about it too, but I must be missing something because Lalique White does nothing for me. Or maybe it's that I can't get past the opening? I don't know, but I'll have to give it another shot sometime.

^^ You must actually give it another chance. Kristo is damn right about Lalique white. Its a great fragrance. I love every bit of it.
I never expected that ladies would like this..but its true!!

Let's just all agree...
......

Acqua Di Gio can't be beat when it comes to female complements.

True,

I dont care what the haters say, ADG works every single time

[akenep]

When was the last time all the votes have been compiled ?

Agreed, by now there should have been some type of Poll results for this thread. There has to be at least 5 - 10 scents that keep repeating throughout this post

[cameron]

Someone was kind enough to tally results fairly recently. If anyone wants to update, feel free to do so yourself and let us know!

[L8bro]

Surprisingly I have been receiving a lot of compliments lately from Royal Oud

[classicrock]

My girlfriend likes Drakkar Noir and then Obsession for men, then Boss Bottled (in that order) the most on me. The others she doesn't really comment on.

Bleu de Chanel

[southerngardens]

I have gotten the most compliments from Dior Homme old formulation, but I'm never sure if it's because it's becasue it's male qualities or it's female?

Aventus

[TeenfragGent]

Last night Play Intense got me about 6 within 2 hours.

[psychoskip]

Got a couple on Aventus today. Very nice after taking a break from it.

[anewtypedude]

Got a complement wearing D&G The One.

I don't even own this one. It was a test wear from Macy's

Well, Gucci pour Homme II wasn't a roaring success..... so I've been wearing Aventus for the last couple of days. Now that really has garnered some positive comments.....!!!

That's a great scent, it reminds me of being in Las Vegas for some reason.

[cameron]

Got a female compliment (from my mom lol) wearing DHI today.

"What smells so good?". Said it twice before I told her I think it's my cologne.

[sososcott]

Still Azzaro Chrome Legend! It's only still in rotation because we've had some really sunny days. I'll be sad to put it away for the winter as I don't think any of my winter fragrances will get anywhere close to the number of compliments. Ah well!

[Neil4Speed]

Just poking around on here I notice that compliments are always a nice side effect of this hobby. Some people take it more seriously than others, but I can pretty safely say that no one dislikes a good word about how they smell.

Say you were to make a "Compliments dream team", i.e. A fantasy league where you would pick "players" (fragrances), to apply onto a selection of males, with the goal of generating as many compliments as possible (ie. each compliment is a point, and points are tallied at the end of a season and the winner would well, win... something that you really want...)

Which fragrances would you choose? Remember is for a random sample of males, not necessarily yourself. I'm having a tough time figuring out the number of 'players', but lets say 6.


1. Creed Aventus
2. Paco Rabanne, One Million
3. Jean Paul Gaultier, Le Male
4. Bleu De Chanel, Chanel
5. La Nuit De L'homme
6. Armani - ADG

[ChuckW]

My compliment dream team would be:

Creed Aventus
Creed GIT
Bleu de Chanel
Dior Homme (vintage)
Dolce and Gabbana Pour Homme
LADDM

[Ken_Russell]

From what I heard from currently widespread opinions on currently popular frags, along the lines of:

One Million
ADG
GIT
M7
CK One
Le Male

As easy as that. From my own personal wardrobe and personal experience- hardly ever the exact figure of 6, either much more or much less than this constant value. I'd say nearly all or nearly none of the scents in my current wardrobe, simply because compliments are such an elusive, unpredictable situation these days, the least likely to be complimented scent of today can become the "major player", the "top dog", the "high performer" in garnering compliments in the suitable environment, context, surrounding etc.

[hunguy74]

Aventus
Dior Homme
Gianfranco Ferre, In The Mood For Love
Pure Malt
Baldessarini Strictly Private

My compliment dream team would be:

Suprised to see LDDM on your list. I regret selling my bottle and feel i didn't give it a chance, but never pegged this one as a compliment getter. Will nee to revisit!
