FYI you don't always need compliments while wearing a fragrance to know that the fragrance is good or working. If you open your eyes and observe what is happening around you, then you will know your fragrance is working even if folks don't compliment you. People will start treating you nice, helping you, people may start checking you out or giving you the eyes, and even doors may open you would not expect. All because you smell so good. I have gotten that vibe when I have worn a fragrance like Creed Aventus out before. There are women's eyes that may roll back or their body language may change. People's reactions around you says a lot even if they don't compliment your fragrance. It could be as simple as a smile.
Bingo!! This might be the MOST IMPORTANT statement ever made about a fragrance because it's true!! You don't have to be told that a fragrance smells good...just pay attention to people...body language is 70 percent of our communication anyway.

I dont feel like wearing perfume for attention. I wear perfume because I feel good and confident with it. I wear strong perfume because I kinda have a strong personality. I dont care if that specific perfume smells good to other people i just want to wear it because i love it. And i feel confident wearing it. I want my perfume to express my identity and intentions. Thats why i classify my perfume in certain occassions
Yeah that's all good I agree. But why you fill confident wearing a perfume? Because you smell good and you know others will have a positive first impression of you. You feel good because you know others most likely will like how you smell...
Being approachable is the key to receiving compliments because it is scary to strike a conversation someone who looks angry or irritated or whatever. If someone has an open body language then I might ask them what perfume they are wearing.
Spot of Melissa. People need to prioritize their social skills first, having confidence and charisma, being approachable, holding your own in a conversation while being a good listener is priceless. Also taking care of your fitness, your haircut, skincare and outfits will all be more important than your fragrance - that should be the cherry on top. If you’re awkward and don’t look out together, don’t be surprised if no one gets close enough to smell your scent.

No. People get caught up in the "compliment monster" thing and make purchases based solely on that and feel some type of way when others aren't praising their scent trail.

Let’s put this into their perspective, would you compliment someone you don’t know or feel comfortable with? Most compliments come from friends and family members, you just can’t expect people to randomly give you compliments. The only times you will get a compliment from a stranger is when they actually like the fragrance and want to buy it for themselves.
I once oversprayed Layton and went to dinner with friends. One of them recently revealed to me that it was overwhelming and she was not enjoying it. On the other hand, I have recieved a lot of compliments while wearing it outside and to the city and frankly I think it's all about wearing the fragrance suitable for the occasion and in proper amounts and ppl will notice and compliment you on it if you're approachable :)

Hi Melissa, let's not forget people don't always compliment people are just simply jealous or people are just very nasty rude or let's not forget it could have been that your fragrance was just simply too overbearing!! But in general I wear fragrances that I love, and I get complimented all the time , ❤️ 😁
Being from Bosnia, that comment about checking the weather in Bosnia really made me laugh 😂 Anyway... What made me giggle with joy recently was getting compliments from my students. I'm a highschool teacher and I wore Frosted Coconut Snowball from BBW few days in a row. Not a single day passed without a compliment from the girls in my class. They literally told me things like - teacher, you smell amazing... What's that vanilla and coconut smell, it's delicious, etc. I even felt like a teen movie character in one situation when I walked by some students in the hall, and heard them whispering like she smells so good, lol. On the other hand, I noticed that some ppl don't really like being complimented on their fragrance. As weird as it sounds, it's almost as if it's too intimate for them to talk about it and mentioning it feels like invading their personal space. So there were a couple of times when I regretted saying it.
I wore my BR540 dupe out on new years eve for the first time and i got 3 separate compliments. Using the technique to apply it on back of my shoulders. So I am super happy with my choice, I am nose blind (apparently common as the ambroxan molecule is large and blocks our sniffers) to it but get the occasional waft and its perfect ♡ your videos helped me find my one! Thank you so much!
I often get a compliment on things that aren’t my personal favorite. Good advice to wear what you like. I will say my last was from LV Meteor. I know you like that one 😁
Folks act like fragrances are like some magical antidote lol you have to do some ground work for reactions too. Dress better, be more outgoing and likeable. Build up your confidence. And most importantly, don’t overspray and choke people out 💯
This, fucking this and can't stress it enough. If women are lingering and going in your personal space, that's a compliment in itself. Together with having great vibe and social skills, your fragrance will just be the cherry on top of your game.
I got a sample bottle of naxos and loved it. I was not around many ppl but noticed my sillage in the car ;) The scent had crazy longevity too. I think 2 sprays does the trick for me personally. I have Oud Wood and blasted like 15 sprays. Oud for Greatness needed 3 sprays.
The other day I got the biggest compliment ever...I crossed paths with a customer at my job ...she came back to my department 2 minutes after asking everyone for the guy with the beard...we all thought she had a complaint, but no that wasn't the case, she approached me and told me " I didn't wanna screamed at u cause u were walking so fast, I just wanna tell u that u smell soooo amazing "...the crazy thing is I don't like the perfume🤷♂️.. it was a sample of "paragon" by initio ... great compliment, but the fact that I don't like it , it's a pass for me #wearwhatyoulike
I’m currently in Japan. It’s harder for me to get a complement from a bar or a club here because they allow smoking in their establishments. The smoke kinda blocks my scent. And I do get most of my compliments from restaurants.
Funny this video is helpful - I wear a white coat - I wear 1-2 sprays max BDK or Delina Exclusif etc good but I never get compliments- or hit on- and I think it’s bc it would not be appropriate for a colleague to say something - so I think it’s the setting -
Fragrance is a garnish on the plate of your overall presentation. It won't replace a personality, and it won't outweigh poor manners, poor hygiene, and not being approachable.
Shiiiiid I wish I had the money to buy Naxos. But for now my loud and proud fragrance is Rasasi Shuhrah. I love this non-compliment getter. It didn't even work with one spray funny enough. You really have to wear powerhouse fragrances like you mean it. Makes a world of a difference, compliments or not. But also yes, it takes finesse and consideration for others to wear these, too. For nuclear bois like Shuhrah, five sprays is pushing it, more than 2 on clothes is overkill. If you super overspray these you'll be lucky if people stay silent instead of cussing you out.
Melissa, please review one of these xerjoff fragrance. I want to buy it 2 of these xerjoff series (day and night fragrance) btw. Day : decas and mefisto gentiluomo Night : lira and dolce almafi. I like your review and nearly 100% trust your review, seriously.
On oud I tried Oud Abramad by BDK. Wow! This oud is insane good. I saw you like saphron and its in it. It is a touch sweet. Also Gris De Charnel is so lovely a warm soft spice. Every stage is so good
I wouldn't be completely sure this person was being anti-social and/or on their phone during the parties. It's possible, but you never know. That being said, I heavily sprayed Kilian Angels' Share to the last party I went to and got several compliments. But I'm pretty social and I was talking to everyone like I usually do at parties. I'm defintiely the guy that owns being an oversprayer. Still waiting for my first compliment from a random stranger though.
my whole thing about fragrances is it should be the cherry on top of your charm, like you have to be somewhat charming yourself. if you want pure compliments, be charismatic, and wear mass appealing fragraces.
This is the one thing I hate about the tik tok frag community. As a frag head myself. You basically hit everything on the nail, as a person you have to be approachable or at least groomed in a certain way. One things for sure is that I hate when people blind buy niche colognes especially the tik tok community that hyped up niche fragrances and basically tells other to blind buy them, when in reality sometimes even the niche colognes themselves WILL OUT WEAR THE USER! You have to look the part when you’re wearing certain fragrances. Another thing is that you have to buy what you like and wear what you like don’t be following these are the best compliment getter etc,.. everyone’s skin chemistry is different so that’s that.
I don’t think it’s the Tiktok frag community. This mindset comes from loads of people regardless of what app they consume content on. It’s an itch to feel desired
@@melissanacional9662 ofcourse they want attention and because apps like those like to express the fact that their “guaranteed” compliments is what suits them into purchasing it when in reality they have no idea what they purchased, I mean to each their own but it’s like if I buy only one fragrance and it’s like Carlisle from PDM and wearing that in scorching hot heat is a no no. I’m thinking how a person who isn’t into fragrance but goes based off tik tok would do.
It's not just the fragrance that makes a difference, It can also be your diet. Depending on what you eat you can sweat nice odours or nasty odours and this can have an effect on the fragrances smell off your body.
I came here after watching your review on Baccarat 540 Extrait. Is can’t count how many people at my work have literally stopped me and said you smell good. What are you wearing? I tell them Baccarat Rouge Extrait version and as soon as they look it up they get discouraged from the price tag
I’m not going to lie I bought Naxos & afternoon swim because of your reactions to it & guess what ? To me those scents are just OK. They ain’t all that to my nose at least but I still appreciate the content ! Everyone’s nose is different
@@AttackOfTheColognes Bro you gotta sample before dropping money on a bottle you don’t like lol. Blind buying isn’t a good idea but if you wanna take the risk just know there’s a 50/50 chance you’ll like it
@@ComedicScents never said I didn’t like it lol they are just OK deff wearing them summer & I blind buy all my fragrances so far haven’t received anything that was trash 🗑️
@@ComedicScents plus I only buy clones or fragrances that are not over $100 anything over $100 is not worth it in my opinion but the clone I got of Naxos smell just like the real thing
yeah I dont really understand how everyone is obsessed with compliments regarding fragrances. To me it sounds like small children wanting a toy. Just wear a fragrance if you like it and thats it. So simple
So pretty much what Melissa is saying is don’t buy and use fragrances to impress people or get people attention because people see and sense that you are trying too hard to impress them and get them attention and it’s a turn off. Buy things that you like not because it’s popular or you see everyone is wearing it or have it don’t do that and if you gonna buy something or fragrances you should buy it because YOU like it because it’s suits YOU.
Worrying about compliments or trying to get a reaction rooted in sex while wearing fragrances is corny. CZcams fragrance reviewers have made this corny behavior acceptable when really it’s all about your charisma & keeping yourself well kept. Fragrances are just the extra confetti once you already have the icing on the cake.
Everytime I read bad reviews about a fragrance's "performance", I automatically imagine he wears socks with sandals and has BO. For that crowd: Why should anyone smell you from across the room? Why aren't you approaching the person of interest and introducing yourself? Even the faintest perfumes can be felt at arms length. Perfume is an accessory to nice clothes and good manners. LNDL gets bashed by dudebros and neckbeards that blind buy but I always got compliments when I wore it as a sales clerk. A lady once told me she always looks for my lane to ring her groceries up because I was very nice and smelled great. Sadly there are too many negative youtube influencers out there trying to sell people on hype. It's the grossest thing when someone is wearing too much perfume. It's the equivalent to BO. Both make me gag. Curly Scents told people to spray LNDL 34 times. Last time I smelled LNDL on someone, I smelled him from six feet away. His shirt looked felt drenched in it. He was overweight, a mouth breather, had BO, and was wearing socks with sandals. It was so awful.
Certain fragrances and your ‘image’ sometimes just work together. Bleu De Chanel - No compliments Sauvage- No compliments Versace Eau Fraiche - No compliments Club de Nuit Milestone - Tons of compliments CDNIM - Tons of compliments Dior Homme - No Compliments Cedrat Boise - Average Compliments Something about the Milestone/Milesime Imperial DNA and my ‘image’ just garner huge compliments for me. I’m quite laid back and live in a hot climate so I think all those play a role.
I love Dunhill Icon for myself but it never garners compliments for me. Milestone wasn’t always my favorite fragrance but the compliments it garners just made me appreciate it more. I think it must I smell very unique in the dry heat air. I love Cedrat Boise and it gets me a few “you smell nice” compliments (to be fair I’ve only worn it a handful of times). Sauvage doesn’t get me compliments, and I personally don’t like it too much. CDNIM gets me huge compliments, especially on nights out. I once had a much older woman pull me close to her, tell me I smell good, and give me a kiss on my neck.
People pay attention to stuff online too much. I have seen raving reviews online and irl for Chanel #5 and I think it smells disgusting on its first spray and it’s dry down. If I was to buy that fragrance and wear it all the time cause other people liked it I probably wouldn’t get the compliments I expect cause it’s not my scent period. I wear vanilla incense from what atelier cologne and found it in 8th grade on accident and have worn it ever since (I mix it up sometimes but that’s always in my cabinet) and I have seen on here that the projection is like average to non existent and that it’s an average perfume overall. I get compliments on it all the time still and people say “it’s YOUR smell”. While I like online perfume reviews I base it off of notes I already like and my own fragrance experiences. Don’t JUST blind buy because someone else likes it.
I have to be honest here. I can go down the self-pious route and say I only wear fragrances for myself but when I wear "mass appealing" fragrances and I don't get compliments, it makes me curious. Of course I bought the fragrance because I like it but compliments, from strangers especially, positively affirms that I made a good choice.
I'm late, but you're so so right. You've got to take that scent and run with it. I'm married now, but when I was single I was going out with...wait for it... Calvin Klein Man, which is one my favorite senses, and got hella compliments because I wore it like it was a Tom Ford or a Intito fragrance. That man smells like sex on a stick and that's what I became...get your confidence up boys and girls.
I think it also has to do with which country you live in? I live in England for 7 years and never received a compliment 😅 (and let me tell you that I own over 80 fragrances) Here in England people are very “cold” and I’ve heard that if you make a compliment to someone about their fragrance that’s not nice??!!🤯🤦 Originally I’m coming from Romania (Europe) people there are so much friendly and just open (like Spain) Anyway… maybe sometimes it has to do with the country or culture? I don’t know… I’m just saying
The reason you dont get compliments. Because the fragrance probably is low quality sits close To the skin. Or because you don't over spray..... My skin eats up fragrances so I over spray and compliments roll in
You could be friendly and approachable. You could be dressed well. But you still may not get compliments all because you’re the wrong age. It would be very rare for a good looking 21 year old girl to run up to a 60 year old man that she doesn’t even know and compliment him. The older you are the less compliments you will get. If you’re age 15 - 30 and good looking, then the more compliments you will get.
Such an ignorant comment. Age doesn't mean anything its the personality. If you're insecure about aging or you're aging like milk then just say that instead of projecting
so many people wear all these perfumes/cologne and don't realize that these "perfume" are toxic chemicals that are not only killing them but killing others slowly. So many people have no idea what their natural body odor is like. What are people who wear fragrance covering up with all these so call fragrances. I notice that many people with fragrance tends to keep clearing their throats and have no idea that it is the fragrance that they are wearing is irritating their airway. Not because a product is on the market for sale, doesn't mean it is safe. Why do people need compliments for wearing something? "Oh the Humanity?"
Lol hopefully that person learned a lesson everyones experience with everything in life majority of the time will be different 👍 10 sprays of a very strong fragrance is a big NO NO
Only times I hear another girl complement another girl's fragrance is usually smells like cheap body spray and can tell it's all Victoria secret....if it's loud most times it smells like it was applied to much and nothing special just a punch in the face
Wow. I'm sorry, but this was god awful. Nobody can promise with 100% certainty that you'll get compliments just because you "look" approachable. I'm beginning to think that the perfume industry is so lucrative, because of so many clueless reviewers online dropping more $h1t than a flock of seagulls. They don't even need to advertise anymore. 😑
FYI you don't always need compliments while wearing a fragrance to know that the fragrance is good or working. If you open your eyes and observe what is happening around you, then you will know your fragrance is working even if folks don't compliment you. People will start treating you nice, helping you, people may start checking you out or giving you the eyes, and even doors may open you would not expect. All because you smell so good.

But in general I wear fragrances that I love, and I get complimented all the time , ❤️ 😁
Being from Bosnia, that comment about checking the weather in Bosnia really made me laugh 😂
Anyway... What made me giggle with joy recently was getting compliments from my students. I'm a highschool teacher and I wore Frosted Coconut Snowball from BBW few days in a row. Not a single day passed without a compliment from the girls in my class. They literally told me things like - teacher, you smell amazing... What's that vanilla and coconut smell, it's delicious, etc.
I even felt like a teen movie character in one situation when I walked by some students in the hall, and heard them whispering like she smells so good, lol.
On the other hand, I noticed that some ppl don't really like being complimented on their fragrance. As weird as it sounds, it's almost as if it's too intimate for them to talk about it and mentioning it feels like invading their personal space. So there were a couple of times when I regretted saying it.
So what is the weather like in Bosnia
Same here, that comment came from nowhere and got me to 😂
Miss Nac you spoke the truth 👍🏾!
I wore my BR540 dupe out on new years eve for the first time and i got 3 separate compliments. Using the technique to apply it on back of my shoulders. So I am super happy with my choice, I am nose blind (apparently common as the ambroxan molecule is large and blocks our sniffers) to it but get the occasional waft and its perfect ♡ your videos helped me find my one! Thank you so much!
I often get a compliment on things that aren’t my personal favorite. Good advice to wear what you like. I will say my last was from LV Meteor. I know you like that one 😁
Folks act like fragrances are like some magical antidote lol you have to do some ground work for reactions too. Dress better, be more outgoing and likeable. Build up your confidence. And most importantly, don’t overspray and choke people out 💯
Fellas, lots of the female "compliments" are non-verbal. Wear what you like.
This, fucking this and can't stress it enough. If women are lingering and going in your personal space, that's a compliment in itself. Together with having great vibe and social skills, your fragrance will just be the cherry on top of your game.
Very true, thank you.
One tip. If u wear a good fragrance and you got tons of compliment, just tell people( if they ask u) the wrong name. Keep it a secret
I got a sample bottle of naxos and loved it. I was not around many ppl but noticed my sillage in the car ;) The scent had crazy longevity too. I think 2 sprays does the trick for me personally. I have Oud Wood and blasted like 15 sprays. Oud for Greatness needed 3 sprays.
Where do you spray your 2 sprays?!

The other day I got the biggest compliment ever...I crossed paths with a customer at my job ...she came back to my department 2 minutes after asking everyone for the guy with the beard...we all thought she had a complaint, but no that wasn't the case, she approached me and told me " I didn't wanna screamed at u cause u were walking so fast, I just wanna tell u that u smell soooo amazing "...the crazy thing is I don't like the perfume🤷♂️.. it was a sample of "paragon" by initio ... great compliment, but the fact that I don't like it , it's a pass for me #wearwhatyoulike
I want compliments
I’m currently in Japan. It’s harder for me to get a complement from a bar or a club here because they allow smoking in their establishments. The smoke kinda blocks my scent. And I do get most of my compliments from restaurants.
I needed to see this.
You won the Jacoje giveaway!!! It’s awesome to see someone you subscribe to win a giveaway 🙌🙌
Naxos, it speaks for itself! Point blank.
The trick is to spray your phone so people can smell your phone while you introvert in the corner 😆
@@comedy_promote7610 😁
Funny this video is helpful - I wear a white coat - I wear 1-2 sprays max BDK or Delina Exclusif etc good but I never get compliments- or hit on- and I think it’s bc it would not be appropriate for a colleague to say something - so I think it’s the setting -
Ive been wearing la nuit a la folie to work at a large store.. haven’t gotten a compliment but i get whiffs throughout the day and love the smell.
Fragrance is a garnish on the plate of your overall presentation.
It won't replace a personality, and it won't outweigh poor manners, poor hygiene, and not being approachable.
Shiiiiid I wish I had the money to buy Naxos. But for now my loud and proud fragrance is Rasasi Shuhrah. I love this non-compliment getter. It didn't even work with one spray funny enough. You really have to wear powerhouse fragrances like you mean it. Makes a world of a difference, compliments or not. But also yes, it takes finesse and consideration for others to wear these, too. For nuclear bois like Shuhrah, five sprays is pushing it, more than 2 on clothes is overkill. If you super overspray these you'll be lucky if people stay silent instead of cussing you out.
Melissa, please review one of these xerjoff fragrance. I want to buy it 2 of these xerjoff series (day and night fragrance) btw.
Day : decas and mefisto gentiluomo
Night : lira and dolce almafi.
I like your review and nearly 100% trust your review, seriously.
On oud I tried Oud Abramad by BDK. Wow! This oud is insane good. I saw you like saphron and its in it. It is a touch sweet. Also Gris De Charnel is so lovely a warm soft spice. Every stage is so good
Both of those are 🔥🔥
@@uppercutshurt5199 I am surprised this is not put above Herod and BDC. BDK is local to France and is heaven on earth. You cant stop smelling your arm
I wouldn't be completely sure this person was being anti-social and/or on their phone during the parties. It's possible, but you never know. That being said, I heavily sprayed Kilian Angels' Share to the last party I went to and got several compliments. But I'm pretty social and I was talking to everyone like I usually do at parties. I'm defintiely the guy that owns being an oversprayer. Still waiting for my first compliment from a random stranger though.
Just found you on TikTok and now I see you on YT😂
my whole thing about fragrances is it should be the cherry on top of your charm, like you have to be somewhat charming yourself. if you want pure compliments, be charismatic, and wear mass appealing fragraces.
You get well soon ok.take care.
This is the one thing I hate about the tik tok frag community. As a frag head myself. You basically hit everything on the nail, as a person you have to be approachable or at least groomed in a certain way. One things for sure is that I hate when people blind buy niche colognes especially the tik tok community that hyped up niche fragrances and basically tells other to blind buy them, when in reality sometimes even the niche colognes themselves WILL OUT WEAR THE USER! You have to look the part when you’re wearing certain fragrances. Another thing is that you have to buy what you like and wear what you like don’t be following these are the best compliment getter etc,.. everyone’s skin chemistry is different so that’s that.
I don’t think it’s the Tiktok frag community. This mindset comes from loads of people regardless of what app they consume content on. It’s an itch to feel desired
@@melissanacional9662 ofcourse they want attention and because apps like those like to express the fact that their “guaranteed” compliments is what suits them into purchasing it when in reality they have no idea what they purchased, I mean to each their own but it’s like if I buy only one fragrance and it’s like Carlisle from PDM and wearing that in scorching hot heat is a no no. I’m thinking how a person who isn’t into fragrance but goes based off tik tok would do.
@@iFrankie. 😑😑😑
Where do we spray during winter times? 9 times out of 10 wearing hoodies & coats. Spray on clothes or hands?
It's not just the fragrance that makes a difference, It can also be your diet. Depending on what you eat you can sweat nice odours or nasty odours and this can have an effect on the fragrances smell off your body.
What type of foods would you recommend to “sweat nice odours”?
more of these videos! 🙂
I’ve only been complimented by a stranger 3 times in the last year. 2 times it was Versace Pour Homme
Wao she is so smart
I came here after watching your review on Baccarat 540 Extrait. Is can’t count how many people at my work have literally stopped me and said you smell good. What are you wearing? I tell them Baccarat Rouge Extrait version and as soon as they look it up they get discouraged from the price tag
I would love if you reviewed a niche fragrance by Henri et Victoria called Cognac and Cuban cigars.
I’m not going to lie I bought Naxos & afternoon swim because of your reactions to it & guess what ? To me those scents are just OK. They ain’t all that to my nose at least but I still appreciate the content ! Everyone’s nose is different
I hope you mean you bought sample decants
@@silkroadCEO I don’t buy samples 🤣 but I do like the fragrances they just not amazing in my opinion
@@AttackOfTheColognes Bro you gotta sample before dropping money on a bottle you don’t like lol. Blind buying isn’t a good idea but if you wanna take the risk just know there’s a 50/50 chance you’ll like it
@@ComedicScents never said I didn’t like it lol they are just OK deff wearing them summer & I blind buy all my fragrances so far haven’t received anything that was trash 🗑️
@@ComedicScents plus I only buy clones or fragrances that are not over $100 anything over $100 is not worth it in my opinion but the clone I got of Naxos smell just like the real thing
yeah I dont really understand how everyone is obsessed with compliments regarding fragrances. To me it sounds like small children wanting a toy. Just wear a fragrance if you like it and thats it. So simple
So pretty much what Melissa is saying is don’t buy and use fragrances to impress people or get people attention because people see and sense that you are trying too hard to impress them and get them attention and it’s a turn off. Buy things that you like not because it’s popular or you see everyone is wearing it or have it don’t do that and if you gonna buy something or fragrances you should buy it because YOU like it because it’s suits YOU.
Every time you wear a fragrance you’re not goin to get complimented it’s really just that simple. You have to wanna smell good for you
Perfume is preference and worn for a variety of reasons.
Yall should watch that video of justin copeland regarding compliments
Worrying about compliments or trying to get a reaction rooted in sex while wearing fragrances is corny. CZcams fragrance reviewers have made this corny behavior acceptable when really it’s all about your charisma & keeping yourself well kept. Fragrances are just the extra confetti once you already have the icing on the cake.
melissa i think ppl dont like getting near me no matter what incentive I throw out there. even my mom shits on all my choice of fragrances
Got to be attractive and know how to carry yourself
One should buy a scent because they like it, not to fish for compliments; then this problem wouldn't exist lol
I never get compliments mostly complaints until I stop wearing xyz perfume then people are like it was soo good on you
Everytime I read bad reviews about a fragrance's "performance", I automatically imagine he wears socks with sandals and has BO. For that crowd: Why should anyone smell you from across the room? Why aren't you approaching the person of interest and introducing yourself? Even the faintest perfumes can be felt at arms length. Perfume is an accessory to nice clothes and good manners. LNDL gets bashed by dudebros and neckbeards that blind buy but I always got compliments when I wore it as a sales clerk. A lady once told me she always looks for my lane to ring her groceries up because I was very nice and smelled great. Sadly there are too many negative youtube influencers out there trying to sell people on hype. It's the grossest thing when someone is wearing too much perfume. It's the equivalent to BO. Both make me gag. Curly Scents told people to spray LNDL 34 times. Last time I smelled LNDL on someone, I smelled him from six feet away. His shirt looked felt drenched in it. He was overweight, a mouth breather, had BO, and was wearing socks with sandals. It was so awful.
Certain fragrances and your ‘image’ sometimes just work together.
Bleu De Chanel - No compliments
Sauvage- No compliments
Versace Eau Fraiche - No compliments
Club de Nuit Milestone - Tons of compliments
CDNIM - Tons of compliments
Dior Homme - No Compliments
Cedrat Boise - Average Compliments
Something about the Milestone/Milesime Imperial DNA and my ‘image’ just garner huge compliments for me. I’m quite laid back and live in a hot climate so I think all those play a role.
I love Dunhill Icon for myself but it never garners compliments for me. Milestone wasn’t always my favorite fragrance but the compliments it garners just made me appreciate it more. I think it must I smell very unique in the dry heat air.
I love Cedrat Boise and it gets me a few “you smell nice” compliments (to be fair I’ve only worn it a handful of times).
Sauvage doesn’t get me compliments, and I personally don’t like it too much.
CDNIM gets me huge compliments, especially on nights out. I once had a much older woman pull me close to her, tell me I smell good, and give me a kiss on my neck.
What it really boils down to is looks...
People pay attention to stuff online too much. I have seen raving reviews online and irl for Chanel #5 and I think it smells disgusting on its first spray and it’s dry down. If I was to buy that fragrance and wear it all the time cause other people liked it I probably wouldn’t get the compliments I expect cause it’s not my scent period. I wear vanilla incense from what atelier cologne and found it in 8th grade on accident and have worn it ever since (I mix it up sometimes but that’s always in my cabinet) and I have seen on here that the projection is like average to non existent and that it’s an average perfume overall. I get compliments on it all the time still and people say “it’s YOUR smell”. While I like online perfume reviews I base it off of notes I already like and my own fragrance experiences. Don’t JUST blind buy because someone else likes it.
I have to be honest here. I can go down the self-pious route and say I only wear fragrances for myself but when I wear "mass appealing" fragrances and I don't get compliments, it makes me curious. Of course I bought the fragrance because I like it but compliments, from strangers especially, positively affirms that I made a good choice.
I love you❤
so I noticed that 80 % compliments I got are from fresh aqua perfumes , I don't know why .
But aqua perfumes aren’t your fav right?
@@teeeee9174 yup
I'm late, but you're so so right. You've got to take that scent and run with it. I'm married now, but when I was single I was going out with...wait for it... Calvin Klein Man, which is one my favorite senses, and got hella compliments because I wore it like it was a Tom Ford or a Intito fragrance. That man smells like sex on a stick and that's what I became...get your confidence up boys and girls.
I think it also has to do with which country you live in?
I live in England for 7 years and never received a compliment 😅
(and let me tell you that I own over 80 fragrances)
Here in England people are very “cold” and I’ve heard that if you make a compliment to someone about their fragrance that’s not nice??!!🤯🤦
Originally I’m coming from Romania (Europe) people there are so much friendly and just open (like Spain)
Anyway… maybe sometimes it has to do with the country or culture? I don’t know… I’m just saying
People have to understand people compliment based off attraction as well women will usually get compliments way more then men,
The reason you dont get compliments. Because the fragrance probably is low quality sits close To the skin. Or because you don't over spray..... My skin eats up fragrances so I over spray and compliments roll in
I don’t get compliments and I know I’m not an approachable person 😂
You could be friendly and approachable. You could be dressed well. But you still may not get compliments all because you’re the wrong age. It would be very rare for a good looking 21 year old girl to run up to a 60 year old man that she doesn’t even know and compliment him. The older you are the less compliments you will get. If you’re age 15 - 30 and good looking, then the more compliments you will get.
Good looking is the key dude
Correct.
I’ve been complimenting 60-something year old men on their fragrances throughout my 20’s.
Such an ignorant comment. Age doesn't mean anything its the personality. If you're insecure about aging or you're aging like milk then just say that instead of projecting
so many people wear all these perfumes/cologne and don't realize that these "perfume" are toxic chemicals that are not only killing them but killing others slowly. So many people have no idea what their natural body odor is like. What are people who wear fragrance covering up with all these so call fragrances. I notice that many people with fragrance tends to keep clearing their throats and have no idea that it is the fragrance that they are wearing is irritating their airway. Not because a product is on the market for sale, doesn't mean it is safe. Why do people need compliments for wearing something? "Oh the Humanity?"
Lol hopefully that person learned a lesson everyones experience with everything in life majority of the time will be different 👍 10 sprays of a very strong fragrance is a big NO NO
The problem with this method of the scent buble is; im already attracting too many Married women.
Borderline autistic wierdo here. Thanks for thr tips. :) You are amazing.
People who will compliment you are those in the same league most of the time
I've gotten a few compliments, but I know why I don't get more. I'm kind of big and scary looking. It's pretty obvious.
Perfumes can only do so much if you have bad hygiene and if your home has a smell 🤷🏽♀️
Ya I like kobey better than Naxos from the house
Only times I hear another girl complement another girl's fragrance is usually smells like cheap body spray and can tell it's all Victoria secret....if it's loud most times it smells like it was applied to much and nothing special just a punch in the face
😂😂girl c’mon, we still need to be somewhat physically attractive 😂😂
You're such a cool chick ❤
If you’re fat and/or ugly, like many in fragcomm, no amount of overspraying will help
Or leave the phone at home and force yourself to be present.
it’s because i’m ugly ate. That’s why i’m not getting complimented
Same bro
How to get compliments wearing a fragrance
If you're male:
1. Be attractive
2. Don't be unattractive
If your'e female:
1. Exist
;)
This incel ass comment
Because I am ugly
Simple. No one could smell you. You were wearing a cologne that was a skin scent and had no projection
Wow. I'm sorry, but this was god awful. Nobody can promise with 100% certainty that you'll get compliments just because you "look" approachable.
I'm beginning to think that the perfume industry is so lucrative, because of so many clueless reviewers online dropping more $h1t than a flock of seagulls. They don't even need to advertise anymore.
😑
😂….
