10 Fragrances That Get Me Compliments & Won't Do The Same For You.

[@MuddyGreenMonster]

Wearing a fragrance that YOU love will get you a better reception because it uplifts your mood & therefore those around you, regardless of what any influencer thinks of it.

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

Truth

[@Jmillz4life]

Ppl don't give your editing enough credit. The face warps get me every time. There are just enough comedic elements to your style to balance, for the norms. I appreciate the work, down to the details.

[@stayfreshproductions]

I appreciate that man! You always notice the details

[@Luhmekarl]

I own oud minéral and Hermes EdT The oud minéral really smells niche. It’s woody, oudy, aquatic but even more dry. I absolutely love it. Terre is just a blind buy. I feel like you shouldn’t buy it if you’re younger than 20. but if you’re older it’s a blind buy. I also got a aventus clone with mantblancs explorer. I didn’t want to spend the money for Aventus and when I first sprayed explorer I directly thought „oh so THIS is what Aventus smells like“ without ever smelling the original. It’s just a scent I’m sure you’ve smelled somewhere else before. The most compliment getter and also my favorite parfume defs is ombre leather though. Such a Great scent!

[@sfchampionsbasketball9665]

I’m like 3 min into your video and I gotta give you props, your points are so damn intelligent and well-stated. As someone who now has probably 40-50 fragrances that ranges from niche to designer to clones, it’s rare that I get compliments from people whom I don’t know… and we all know that a scent like Layton is amazing! I’ve truly learned to wear fragrances for myself and enjoy my own scent of the day / night. Keep making content that intrigues! I appreciate your topics 💪🏾

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you for watching! And for sharing!

[@GrimScents]

Different people have different tastes. I get compliments no matter what I'm wearing but at my job there are certain women who compliment me on one fragrance but not the others and others who compliment me on the ones she doesn't compliment me on. Just goes to show it depends on who you're around and what they like. At the end of the day it is more important that you like it but if it's in my collection then that means I like it.

[@TheFeintOfHearts]

I hadn’t decided what to wear yet today, and you inspired me to wear TdH Parfum. Still my all-time favorite fragrance, if I had to pick just one signature scent for the rest of my life this would be the one. A true masculine masterpiece.

[@MCookston]

I got a sample of isola blu and I absolutely love it. For me it has to be top 3 in my collection.

[@scottw2943]

Terre D Hermes is one of my favorites.

[@garyharper9992]

One of my faves as well TM OUD Min is AMAZING

[@brocko9386]

So true ... so many influencers are always saying they receive so many compliments with every fragrance they wear. NO THEY DONT!!! Although you smell good its rare a random person is just going to come up and say you smell so good!! Wear what you like wear and what suits you ... Treat fragrances like a accessory to your outfit.

[@Gl6619]

Because many of them are shills of fragrance companies getting free fragrances from those companies to overhype their fragrances…

[@bwinms1]

I have sample of ISOLA BLU, it is good summer scent, reminds me why I always seem to love Roja scents I try. He is a master. I also have IDEAL, its ok good for me but I get compliments EVERYTIME i wear it Really, 100% it happens. Everyone loves it and its super unique. but I like others more, but I admit the compliments are Real.

[@ukguy]

The only fragrance from your list that I have is Cedrat Boise, and I have definitely had a couple of compliments from the ladies whilst wearing it.

[@sorv5790]

This is all so true though. Confidence in yourself and your chosen fragrance also influences people. I was wearing Nobile 1942's Malvs and someone in the bus actually went out of their space to ask me what I was wearing because it's been ticking at them the whole time and they thought it was "calming yet alluring" (they could tell it was me because I take the bus at 5:30am so it's almost empty). That's the last fragrance I thought someone would ever compliment me on because while it's vanillic and sweet (lots of myrrh) it's also kind of churchy. I love the stuff to bits though.

[@All_True_Especially_The_Lies]

Three fragrances got me compliments. One is an obvious one, Dylan Blue, the other is a older one that I personally love, it's Givenchy Gentlemen the original 1974, which repeatedly got me compliments from total strangers, without even any sort of interaction, like people passing by in a store type situation. I think also dressing clean and tastefully is a contributing factor. The last one was TF Tobacco Vanille, and it was only on one occasion.

[@PanameAllStars93]

I love Saja is a amazing rose oud spicy fragrance. Loumari is one of the best brand of this 3 last years Amazing house

[@jair_martinez1]

thank you!! i don’t get how people care about compliments 🤦🏻‍♂️ yea they’re nice but wear a fragrance that suits you, your style, personality, and outfit that day to feel most confident…. not a fragrance for the sole reason of wanting an ego boost.

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

If you wear a fragrance that you love and that makes you feel great, it draws people to you. I find that feeling often elicits a compliment to your fragrance.

[@SciolusEssentia]

Justin, about the Boisé that’s a rule of french that nobody knows. Whenever a word is written in capital letters in french u may suppress the accent. CEDRAT is also written as Cédrat. Cheers!

Thanks!

Such a great video,.I'm wearing oligarch today, visited the dentist, and not even one complaint. obviously everyone there had rhinoplasty recently.

[@bartoltolic]

Out of all frags that I have and I have some “heavy hitters” , “compliment magnets” etc. I’ve gotten the most compliments from a frag I never expect compliments, in fact I expect people to not like it but idc I love it: Orto Parisi “Terroni”. Not gonna lie, I love when someone compliments my scent as do you all but I never put any frag only for compliments, I wear it for me first and foremost and then compliments are bonus.

[@TheFeintOfHearts]

That Saja bottle is gorgeous

[@Ulyssmusic]

I tried the rereleased Oud Minèrale, smelled very similar to Kenzo homme edp to me😅

[@williamborland871]

Cedrat Boise has been overhyped…but it is such a great middle-ground profile between an every day wear and a dressed up/out on the town fragrance. Maybe not the craziest compliment puller, but one people definitely notice.

[@t.o.p.6483]

I never wore for compliments, but for the pure dominance of smelling the best. I remember not knowing about fragrances until I started watching more fragrance reviewers and I discovered. I discovered online discounters and clones. From that point I cut the middle man aka the mall and rack stores and found good deals. I get compliments 3-5 times a week and the main one is "You allways smell good" I wear cologne because I like having my own scent bubble for the day. This is my world and this is my world's scent for the day. Today I wore armaf enchanted royal (main note: honey suckle) layered with al harmain gold edition. Great selection Justin! I only have ideal homme edp. The cherry note which is not listed smoothes out from that medicinal cherry opening. Im gonna get cherry punk extrait de parfum. The reviews on it got me very intrigued. Thanks for the review!

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thanks for sharing and for watching!

[@BA-cz4is]

It’s a great passion

[@HDmanzano1995]

I have 2 fragrances that have gotten me my most memorable compliments. 1. TF Black Orchid Parfum - I ran into a friend who I had not seen in years, he hugged me, and the first thing he said was “WOW! You smell…beautiful!”. Wasn’t expecting that but hey, it was memorable! 2. Xerjoff Tony Iommi Monkey Special - Too many compliments to count. Not like “you smell nice” compliments, like “OMG what is that?!” Complements.

[@khaledheady9553]

Damn i need to try Guerlain l'homme idéal

[@Jmillz4life]

Also, as a side note. You're singularly responsible for my desire to really take up stock in the Chris Collins brand. I took my 1st dive into the house thanks to your love of Oud Galore'. I bought the travel atomizer pack, which I love each of my choices. Could easily pick up 2-3 bottles just of that experience. However, he offers so much more, and that's not counting the new releases. Yall don't get enough credit for reporting your data and explorations. If ppl want to "hold you responsible" for choices they make that turn out bad... then ppl should also give credit for when the choices turn out well.... J.M.O

[@stayfreshproductions]

[@lukezark]

[@BA-cz4is]

How about panty droppers ? 😂

[@lukezark]

@@BA-cz4is Cassius, Oud Woody, Infini Rose are the most ones for me

[@ermannofogazzi4564]

The most complimented scent in my collection is ombrè leather, i personaly prefer other frag to that but boy o boy every time i put that staff on, someone ask me get me attention. A same flow of compliment got me lathely with some fragrance that im currently testing: Kirk and n.31 by mirko buffini and the los santos byredo. I reccomend try them!!

[@LE_NOMAD90]

Compliments are not a guarantee. I wear what I like and if I get a compliment it catches me off guard everytime. Mancera is a house that gets positive attention. I have 3 from them. I gifted Terre D'Hermes EDT. Smells great in the air I need the Parfum.

[@reeethydroo]

I recently went back to the Tom Ford boutique nearby where I bought another private blend bottle and the saleslady who I knew started to ask how was the Oud Minerale bottle I bought the previous week :)) She wasn't a fan of it either so she kept on asking me what I liked about it. But that scent truly is unique and is not as funky on the dry down. I do hope you get your nose on the signature blend soon because I'm curious how different the scent is compared to the private blend version. Love your vids man!!!

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you! I hope to try it soon.

[@jgonzo1995]

I got more compliments the first day I wore Oud Minerale than I got the rest of the year. I sprayed it on my wrist to test it at a Neiman Marcus and was walking out of the mall on the other side an hour later when a woman stopped me in the doorway and said "what are you wearing? It's incredible..." So I turned around and walked all the way back to NM and bought it. I got five or six more compliments that evening/night. It's a weird scent, but some people are just inexplicably drawn to it. Finally, don't mistake this for a winter oud scent. This is absolutely amazing as a warm weather stunner on a night out, when it stands out from the nameless, faceless hordes in their blue and/or citrus fragrances.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thanks for sharing!

[@garyharper9992]

My most complimented frag...and think my fave

[@RonnieMorgan-fw8qj]

I wear Creed, PDM, Tom Ford, Kilian, etc. & I rarely get compliments. But that’s not the reason I wear em. I know I’m killing em w/how good I smell, & knowing I’m spreading a beautiful scent is enough for me. I think a lot of people feel awkward giving compliments. Especially to a stranger.

[@Samuelee97]

Compliments are a plus, it makes me feel good in that situation. I think it has something to do with being "approved" which is something that everyone has to get rid of at some point in life! I must say that if i dont like a fragrance even though it gives me compliments, i dont wear it if i dont want to! Like the aventus clones

[@stayfreshproductions]

Well said!

[@gerardzonjee]

You are spot on about the Cédrat Boisé and the acute accents lacking on the label. I guess the designer picked a font for the label that was missing the “é” 😉

[@TheFeintOfHearts]

Or it’s actually supposed to be “Cedrat Boyzee” and we’re just all pronouncing it wrong 🤣

[@gerardzonjee]

[@mohamednayad]

I tried the new Oud Minérale 🌊 signature line last week. It is similar to Kenzo EDP fresh and dark at the same time . great fragrance but not for me (too dark and salty for me) I prefer ADG Profumo in that category it is less unique but more accessible and wearable for me.

[@SirSillageSniffington]

Gents Scents did a poll last year asking people for lesser known fragrances that have gotten his subscribers lots of compliments, and there were over 339 different fragrances named. Everything from $10 cheapies to $400 niche, fresh clean citrus to sticky booze to earthy vetiver and everything in between… and that’s being asked for “lesser known” ones… It just shows (as you’ve said before), you can get compliments from basically any fragrance (excluding most of the edgy/unusual artistic challenging stuff that’s designed to smell unpleasant), so just wear whatever you love and don’t overspray and most people will think you smell good. P.s. I feel like this video would hit harder if you didn’t look like a model and have a voice smoother than the finest Persian silk - let’s be honest, you could stink of B.O. and people would still compliment you on your muskiness… 😜
