What perfume smells good and gets attention?

Question

There are some perfumes out there that smell great and gets attention. Like when I was walking down the street one time there was this woman (who wasn't even attractive) and she passed by me and another by stander and that by stander said "Ooooo, she smells good!" I'm looking for perfumes like that. That definately gets attention. Can anybody recommend some?

I'm looking for perfumes that gets ATTENTION. Like if you wear a perfume and you get a bunch of random people asking you what you're wearing or if you go down the street and someone goes "oooo you smell good". I want those kind of perfumes :)
Most of you people are telling me what perfume you wear but you don't say if you get compliments on your perfume.

Answer 1

The thing about perfumes is that they react to a person's individual body chemistry. Meaning, what smells good in one person does not in another one.

However, you should think about perfume as an investment. A bottle of great, quality perfume is expensive, and it is better to have buy a really good one, than to have a bunch of cheap bottles.

That is why perfumes like Chanel #5, #19 & #22, Joy by Jean Patou, Shalimar by Guerlain, Nina Ricci's L'Air Du Temps, and Bal de Versailles have been around for decades, and are still bestsellers.

Expensive perfumes have quality notes, meaning that, after that first note (the one you smell at the beginning), there should be a second and a third one so that even after a number of hours, people can tell you are wearing something great.

If I were you, I'd take one of those online tests that tell you what kind of perfume is good for your personality. I have found them to be pretty accurate, as I like floral scents. In the past, I have received compliments while wearing K by Krizia, Safari by Ralph Lauren, and Arpege by Lanvin. Perfume categories include floral, woody, clean, green, oriental, and musky.

Forbes published an article on the most expensive perfumes in the world; very interesting:

You could also experiment with essential oils and create your own fragrance. That is what Sarah Jessica Parker did and she wore her signature scent for years, until she got rich and famous enough to create and market her current scent, Lovely, which by the way, is a bestseller. Of course, some people will do it for you. Here is a website:

I do advice you that if you are the type of person who loves strong fragances (musky, woody), like Tabu by Dana (which has been around forever too), PLEASE wear just a dab, as it can become overwhelming for those around you, and "deadly" for those who are allergic. You can literally ruin someone's day with a strong perfume - it's just as bad as a cheap one!
