Perfume That’ll Break Necks?

Looking for perfume recommendations that’ll get people’s attention. Any kind of perfume you can recommend that’s gotten you the most compliments? I am open to anything.

Re: Perfume That’ll Break Necks?

I would say I've gotten absolutely the most compliments when wearing Baccarat Rouge 540 extrait, but it is also the priciest perfume I own!  Another is Carnal Flower by Dominique Ropion (Frederic Malle), although that is also the one I got the worst reaction one time, lol. A lady in the row behind me at the opera raised her voice to say "WHO IS WEARING TUBEROSE??" and I said what I was wearing and she stormed off saying "I can't STAND Tuberose, I will have to sit somewhere else!" So dramatic! I don't even wear more than a light spray of that when I'm going to be around other people because it is SO strong. 

 

Another might be  #NEST Midnight Fleur, which sadly is not tagging. It's amazing - dark, sultry floral but somehow fresh at the same time!  @Sonchi244

@Sonchi244 Most compliments is probably Kilian's Musk Oud but it's not my favourite oud, personally. It's a crowdpleaser for sure. Monstrously expensive now, I'm afraid!! There are other fantastic, more affordable ways to wear ouds thankfully.

 

I think you can go two ways if you're looking to turn heads. The first is to wear something mad popular, a crowdpleaser like Musk Oud. The other is to wear something very distinctive that some may not appreciate so it really depends on which vibe you're going for.

Great points @pocketvenus - my Carnal Flower has turned heads in both good ways and bad, lol, as I described above.  

Re: Perfume That’ll Break Necks?

@sister13 I love Carnal Flower and yes, it can be polarizing!
