I do believe the "complement" factor is rather overblown in the fragrance community. Many reviews grossly exaggerate or embellish the performance. Especially when they ask people what they think. Are there some scents that get unsolicited complements. Yep. Vast majority don't. Just buy the scents you love.

General rule to determine if it's good: if you hug somebody you know and they compliment you = thumbs up. If you're in the gym and people have no issue training next to you = you're not offending anyone. That's literally it. I've had just one person ever walk up to me and compliment me randomly in my life, it was about a pair of shoes. This probably varies from country to country, but in the UK nobody is walking up to you and randomly saying you smell good 😂 Maybe in a night club, but I hate clubbing as it is.

When i first entered into fragrance game to look for good fragrances after getting bored from my Acqua di gio and CK one, i was kind of surprised to see videos like ‘top 10 most complimented fragrances’ on almost every youtube channel and i thought that those videos were totally unnecessary and made no sense to me, because i never thought of wearing fragrance to please other people or to get attention. Wearing a fragrance out of the two i had was just the last step of me dressing well, which gave me that confidence to get on with the day and do my best. For this reason i never really knew anything about the projection and longevity of the perfumes. When i entered the fragcom i found it to be a totally different world with a mix of all types of people wanting different things. We start our journey from channels like jeremy fragrances and end up on channels like the fragrance apprentice when we start understanding the depth of the fragrances and art behind it. Thanks for being so passionate about fragrances man and for such amazing content!!

My wife of 25 years met me when I didn't wear any fragrance at all and we moved in together just a few weeks later. I didn't wear fragrance for the first 15 years we were together and we were happy as clams. Nor did I wear fragrances in any of my other longer term relationships and had no problem attracting people. It's not fragrance that gets you attraction, dates, etc. it's YOU!!! I totally agree with The Fragrance Apprentice in that if you take a shower and are fun to be around and treat people right and with respect, you'll have no trouble. We wife and I now do smell tests in the morning to test out the new samples I get and it's a fun tradition of ours but only in the last 8 years. But even if I only showered and brushed my teeth (and sometimes even not then) she loves me for who I am. Be the best you you can be and don't worry about what, if any fragrance you're wearing. If you do wear anything, do it for you (but still be aware of those around you so you don't offend people).

Most fragrance channels are just reviews but you are bringing some actual education to the table - fantastic! Keep it coming! Just another note on why folk might not be getting compliments - there's an idea that complimenting someone on their fragrance means you are coming on to them. I would not feel comfortable complimenting a random man on his fragrance in a bar/ club because you never know if they will just say 'Thanks! It's xyz!' or spend the night following you around being a bit of a creep. And to any men feeling deflated because they like notes that fragrance reviewers often say women hate (leather, oud, smokey notes, dirt, oud, tobacco) - some of us would rather that than some light citrus concoction on a man. Some of us wear things like 'Black Afgano' ourselves :) So wear what you like!

Oh great video! Thank you. Keep them coming. Really appreciate your hard work to bring us these videos. Perhaps “contextual relevance” is another key factor. Context is deeper than just saying “place”, though that’s a context, but time of day, the culture you reside in, the function you’re performing ... Is the smell familiar or socially acceptability to your circle? Not every compliment grabbing fragrance will grab you the same attention in every part of the world. One man’s bergamot is another man’s oud. Though there are some universal truths, even Aventus isn’t loved by all. Whilst clean, sweet, balanced and solid performing fragrances are great no doubt, in the boudoir, something thats closer to the skin, and often less clean might get more of the right attention and yes a compliment. Attention whores (thank you social media for harvesting that) love compliments, likes etc .... But just like any art form, the compliment getters are often not very exciting to the trained nose. That’s probably why you like Machinedrum ... and probably why the greatest art forms are the hero’s in the shadows, far away from the limelight.

This is an awsome video you summed this topic up perfectly the only things which you didnt mention, which i believe are the way you present yourself, if you seem like an approachable person and have a positive attitude makes it easier for people to compliment you compared to if you are cold and abrupt also the people around you must be appreciate fragrance to a degree, an example i work as a mechanic and no one in my work place is really into fragrances some of them dont even wear them at all im lucky if i get a compliment once a month at work but i know i smell good and somtimes that is enough to know that you smell good and wear them for your own enjoyment 👍

This is my official compliment to you George on Espresso Royale! Love coffee in all its forms, but especially in fragrances. I'm sure there are other uber coffee lovers out there that would appreciate it too. Very true about your criteria. And regarding compliments, I think it's less about the scent than it is about the person giving them. Excluding unconscious exclamations, in the end, someone needs to make a decision to say something. And who's getting the compliment anyhow? The fragrance? The body? The room in which it's sprayed? Really makes you think about the complexities involved in person-to-person communication.

I feel awkward if I go around projecting like a beast. I can hear people thinking what's up with this guy? The best scents for me is something I feel comfortable wearing that people can get a whiff of now and then. I think in the real world most men don't wear scents unless it's a special occasion, and if you do, you will come across as a bit weird. I think the compliments depends on which culture and demographic you live in. For some it's natural for others it's absolutely not. What I have experienced is that wearing a nice fragrance can make other people smile more, open up more and be friendlier, even though they don't say anything.

Thanks. I am one of those newer fragrance freaks. I only started collecting at the beginning of the year. Initially I just wanted to get a couple of fragrances to up my game and then fell in love with the hobbie, so this was great. I did like the complement factor at first, but I also found that I would complement people not because I liked their fragrance but because I wanted to find out what they were wearing. Sometimes it was because I didn’t like it. Being honest with myself made me realize that complements might not be all that they’re cracked up to be.

Anyway, I think the country / climate, can also pay play a part. My fragrance journey started a 3 years ago and have only gotten 1-2 compliments from people that could smell me close by (in Denmark). But, 15 years ago, when the Chanel Allure Homme Sport came out, I was in Venezuela working and the compliments came easy (1-3 per day). That was nice and a boosted my fragile ego a bit - made me less shy *smile* But, I agree, fragrance is only 10% of the deal.

It all depends on your surroundings in regards to receiving compliments. If you live in London, you aint gonna get any compliments even if you're wearing a superb perfume. Because some people are odd in the city even if you smell a great fragrance and ask some people what they're wearing in my experience they gaze at you with an air of discomfort.

Really interesting video . But I do ha e a counter experience , in general, to what’s stated here . I’ve always got the most consistent compliments ( 5-10 times , closer to five to be honest ) With quite masculine “classic” style scent . For example , I got more compliments wearing Azzaro pour homme than any other , was thinking that isn’t clean , but I guess there is a soapy cleanness to it , still , strange . That would be followed by Kouros (you heard me !) and had more than one person say it’s “so clean and sweet” !? It just doesn’t make sense George ! Fahrenheit Absolute , terre d’ Hermes and eau sauvage parfum . And a pp clone of Viking (forgive me ) I’m not particularly masculine . I’m a pretty tall big (see quite fat , I carry it well) and beardy . But not in personality. I guess it takes all sorts . Not actually trying to prove anything you said wrong , I defer to you , just a slight testimony to the ‘exceptions to the rule’ you talked of . I have found over the years of being into perfum my desire for compliments has waned . .....saying that I recently bought Pure Malt (I have less sweet scents also , tbf) had never smelt it before , and if I don’t get some compliments when I wear that through autumn and winter I’ll be f*^•king gutted I don’t mind tellin ya x

Why do people so desperately want compliments from fragrances? If you wear a nice shirt or trousers or shoes you aren’t disappointed if you’re not complimented on your good taste, so that you try something else instead. Anyway, if that’s what someone wants, I’d pretty much agree with your ideas on how to get a compliment. I’d probably just simplify it to: wear something pleasant that projects. But I disagree on the choice of Eau extreme, as that has absolutely lousy performance, in my experience. Cheers 🙏🏻

If people wear fragrances to get compliments it’s depressing. People should get a personality rather than another bottle of Sauvage. Wear it for yourself.

I’ve been wearing all kinds of perfumes, designer and niche. Guess which ones ever got compliments? D&G Light Blue for Women, and DHI (2012). 😅😂 Do you think that YSL L’homme is well-balanced?
