Top 10 MOST COMPLIMENTED Fragrances According to Instagram

[@allisonsnow9718]

I'm a Sommelier, and so my sense of smell is quite refined. I am thrilled at several of your selections. The only perfume I've ever had multiple compliments on is Prada Florale. Very pretty fragrance, light and (naturally) floral.

[@roxannamarta]

This blazer looks so amazing on you 🙌

[@Tednaing.90]

Glad to see you getting into Le Labo.

[@sabrinas.1503]

My fav from Le Labo is Another 13 🤩

[@karenthomas4575]

Sorry but I can't believe the price of some of these perfumes. £325 for a bottle of perfume!! I would be afraid to use it.

[@theprousteffect9717]

It's definitely a luxury good and priced accordingly. Decants and partially used secondhand bottles can be found for reasonable prices though.

[@sykorovabarca]

I was able to finally sample Scherzo today after looking for it for many months! At first, I was not very sure about it, it was different than I expected. But after 5 minutes, it started to radiate and that was the wow moment. I love so many perfumes but I have never had such a reaction to any of them. I still have to think about this moment, what caused it. But I am definitely buying it and thank you and Clemence was hyping this scent 🥰

[@y.spence]

I’m so glad I purchased Scherzo ♥️ My first oud fragrance and I’m glad I put my fear to side, It’s lovely.

[@nadiadncr]

I want to try the Miller Harris one 😊 Light blue always gets me compliments, Alien as well 💕 great list 😘

[@Madetlife]

I adore Ten Noir. Its beautiful and it's long lasting. I also love Santal 33. I don't know which I love most.

[@ovidavenport2961]

Noir 29 IS SO GOOD!!!! It's perfection

[@liztan1723]

Thank you for great content! Your descriptions are so accurate, and I trust your nose so much. I bought Atomic Rose (my current fav fragrance) thanks to you. And I introduced my partner to Oud for Greatness, again thanks to you! He is sold and that’s his next fragrance purchase🤩 ❤️❤️❤️

[@oc2538]

From MFK I prefer Grand Soire. I love it and don't care who hates it. To me it is the perfect men's scent and women's winter fragrance.

[@Christine-uf3oj]

Sooo tired of BR540 and Delina. I need t try Scherzo because you and Clemence recommend it. Thx.

[@ioanac.1211]

Very interesting votes! As you said, so subjective… I’m really interested in Lune Feline and Rouge Malachite, I need to get to a store and see how these react to my skin. By your description I would fall in love with them… I remember not being impressed by any Byredo fragrance in particular (all seemed beautifully made, did not fit my style though), but will try and give Bal d’Afrique another chance. Very much a fan of woody fragrances or accords (spice is another favourite). On the other hand… I remember smelling Burberry Her and definitely not liking it, too pink and powdery-girly for me, although I am not against powdery dry drowns in a sophisticated formula. That being said, I cannot see the comparison with Baccarat Rouge - I don’t own either, and again I smelled Her quite a while back, buuut I did enter a boutique a few days ago because I was so interested to see why Baccarat is so hyped. Unfortunately I was in a hurry and I was also looking for other two perfumes, so I didn’t get the chance to properly sample it, meaning to spray it on my skin and see how it fares throughout the day. I was, however, quite impressed by just smelling it, and I did like it, planning to go there again and see if it really fits me and wins me over. I can definitely see why it got so many votes, it seemed beautiful and interesting at the same time. On the last note, unfortunately I am not a fan of Light Blue, although I am well aware of its popularity and by the book it should smell good, but not on me. I had this high-school “friend” (that’s like… 15 years ago 😅) that was very much in love with it and I remember not liking it back then either. Again, so subjective! Thanks for a great video!

[@ElberethOhGilthoniel]

Light Blue is so beautiful,truly. One might think it's a simple citrus scent but I was pleasantly surprised to start smelling of roses after the initial sour lemon dried out on my skin,it just becomes beautifully sweet. Not to mention most perfumes use orange and orange blossoms as a citrus note but I absolutely adore lemon.

[@revanth3508]

My all time favourite- as of now- has to be Thé Noir by Le Labo. Big time LOVE!

[@parveenkaur4808]

Compliments for churning out amazing content Josephine...i have binge watched all your videos and been educating myself about different fragrance notes... Could you please suggest any 3 fragrances for starting out in the niche perfume journey... The criteria is good longevity and projection in Indian summer heat...as most European perfumes I feel are made keeping the weather over there in mind and don't even last 2 hours in the scorching summers here which can even touch 45 degrees at times...Thanks in advance

[@jusderose]

You're welcome. You're putting me on the spot here... depends what type of scents you like!

[@parveenkaur4808]

@@jusderose so excited to see your reply on my comment... You made my day... To start with i would love to try scents that are either floral,fresh,powdery etc rather than stronger notes like oud, leather, spices,tobacco etc... Basically safe blind buys in the pleasent category... ladylike and sophisticated...i hope I haven't put you in a bigger spot now...hehe... Please enjoy the esxcence event

[@SavRanasinghe]

I love your recommendations Josephine. Love Gris Charnel which you recommended once as one of your favourites. And I love most of these instagram favourites too. Could you please do a video on Fragrances for a rainy day/ monsoon season. Lots of Love!

[@דנהיוסף-ח8ז]

Yes it's by BDK France.

[@yukiaditya7352]

BR 540 is indeed amazing to layer with other perfume. I usually layer it with Hermes Rhubarbe Ecarlate, and all of sudden the sillage and longevity of that Hermes is like times 5. 😂❤

[@guisellalosa7557]

I’d like to watch videos about perfumists or new brands :) even if it’s from a sample!

[@DreamsRemorse]

I wore Lune Feline to work and someone said i smelled like a cadbury egg. I've had equal compliments with Lune Feline and Oud Satin Mood.

[@JG_SmileSOBright]

The only scent from the list I enjoy is BR540. Different strokes for different folks 😂

[@missl.3343]

I'm starting to believe most niche fragrances are a scam. Maybe I'm wrong but Atomic rose, Scherzo, Delina and all that rose perfumes that smell so synthetic, that's because there isn't one drop of rose absolut in them and you can tell because the juice is clear as water. Now, natural ingredients are hella expensive, synthetic ones are cheap af. I don't mind paying ridiculous prices for high quality but at this point i feel like we are paying for snobism. What do you think?

[@fakereality3792]

I think you are right.

[@sbfairy]

I’ve never smelled Scherzo but Delina and Atomic Rose smell the same to me. I also agree that there is a synthetic note in them.

[@fakereality3792]

@@sbfairy I don’t have a problem with synthetics. Ganymede by Marc Antoine Barrois is one of my most used and complimented fragrances. But the price point some of these synthetics cost eg BR540 are ridiculous. I prefer spend my money on a range like “les indemodobles” that have high quality natural ingredients.

[@lifeonabudget8513]

I don't have a problem with synthetic smells, as long as it smells good. I like atomic rose over delina.

[@jusderose]

Some synthetic ingredients can be pricier than natural ones, actually. It's important to have a balance between naturals and synthetics to create an original fragrance. Synthetics are not all bad, they add a lot of complexity to perfumes and also help boost their longevity. They can be great substitutes for naturals and more sustainable where it's not 1) ethical to use naturals 2) where some naturals are not sustainable. Not to mention that naturals don't necessarily provide the same yield every year (impact by various factors such as weather, geopolitical relations etc). So it's not all black and white when it comes to synthetics vs naturals.

From Mango!

[@ioanac.1211]

Does anyone who is not a fan of roses have any impressions on Scherzo? It seems really interesting, but for the life of me I can only stand roses in a perfume if they are “well disguised” by other notes. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated! ✨

[@aminafarooq8331]

I feel like MFK 540 was really hyped on tiktok and I feel like it’s over hyped now

[@aminafarooq8331]

Other than that it’s best perfume I’ve tried it in selfridges but don’t own it amazing scent

I've always hated D&G Light Blue, I cannot explain it. It was everywhere in 2002-2006.

[@katarinabaloghova3164]

Hi Josephine! Great video ♥️ What do you prefer, Lune Féline or Lune Féline Extrait ? Thanks

[@einezcrespo2107]

I don't even know most of these scents. It's an eye opener.

[@only4you434]

I have used it and it was very good.

[@sugarking6067]

I bought light blue eau de parfum. It was a blind buy and I was utterly disappointed. On my skin it smells like any random citric sent. And it doesn’t stay on my skin.

[@misssunnydee]

I dislike fresh scents, especially the predominantly citrus-y ones because they always smell like cleaning supplies on me. And citrus notes can even get dirty sour, creating a headache inducing scent. However, I keep hearing it as a fave and Fragantica keeps adding D& G Light Blue to the perfumes that "smell like..." if I'm putting a favourite on my personal list or a possible buy to the Wants. I'm so confused now. Anyone who is a sweet floral lover as well, who thinks Light Blue fits in there? (Some of my faves are Givenchy L'interdit, YSL Libre, Chopard Casmir, La Vie et Belle Intensement, CK Obsession and CK IN2U and Burberry London & BB Brit)

[@glendagrant9042]

Never ever liked Light Blue. Not my type of scents either. Reminds me of citrus Mr Clean. Going through Miami airport for a cruise in November. I can't wait to smell perfumes at Duty Free and pick a winner!!

[@carmengarcia-mm8cu]

Hey Justine, i‘d really like to know your opinion on Xerjoff Opera and Accento Overdose. However btw, I love following your channel because you have so much content also about scents which are not on hypetrain. Yet still I‘m curious on what you think :)

[@rachidirachidi6822]

I really do not like Bal d'afrique, I smell the florals but it also smells like a shirt thar you sweated on that you take off after a long day!!! So it's that mix of a nice perfume and sweat...and I just can't.

Aghhhh…how subjective fragrance is! To my nose Scherzò is the opposite of fresh, and the musk is very much turned up. But it is fascinating how differently people are affected .

Do you think Rouge Malachite a safe option for office environment?

[@agata10040]

Quick question as I don’t know much about perfumes. I have my favourite ones. Maybe you can help me in understanding what type of perfumes I like if my favourites are: dkny women, Lancôme hypnose, Burberry classic? Any recommendations based on the above? I recently got bronze goddess and I like it but I don’t love it

[@ElizRued]

It's not really a quick question with quick answer as each perfume has a lot of notes and olfative families. You should check the fragantica profile on those perfumes but so far I saw that they are mostly fruity flowery perfumes, which had either vanilla or woods. Most of them have jazmin too

[@agata10040]

@@ElizRued thank you very much. I will check that website. I always thought I like clean fresh perfumes and not flowery🤦🏼‍♀️

Hi beautiful! I cannot believe this! One of my "life-nieces" is getting married and the layering of Baccarat Rouge and Delina was her pick for her wedding, I layered these two masterpieces by accident and loved it (still do). My personal selection for her wedding is my favorite rose "Atomic Rose". Now, I am ordering Miller Harris "Scherzo". Another fantastic review, thank you!

First of all how stunning the pink blazer looks on you! 💖 and second of all hopefully I will have a chance in some point to try out Scherzo. It sounds again my kind of perfume! 😍 I would say my most complimented fragrances in not a particular order would be Rush by Gucci, Philosykos, Delina, Angels’ Share, Tubéreuse impériale by BDK, Poets of Berlin by Vilhelm Parfumerie, Slowdance by Byredo, Eau de Rhubarbe Ecarlate by Hermès, Jasmin Rouge by Tom Ford and L’Impératrice by Dolce & Gabbana.

[@dazereigh]

[@mashteeh8691]

I second this. So far my absolutely favourite le labo perfume. Love it! It gets even better as time goes on, with a beautiful dry down. I haven't tested all perfumes from le labo though. But this one is ranking as my current absolute favourite perfume. I didn't receive any compliments on it yet, tho😅 (apart from the time that I asked my mother in law to smell my wrist and asked for her opinion- which was more of a 'forced' compliment if you will😅)

[@mamoni7703]

Another amazing list. You describe each scent in a wonderfully detailed way for us lay persons to get a grasp of, especially for us who don’t have easy access to many of the perfumes mentioned. When I hear oud and Rose I immediately think Velvet Rose by Jo Malone, a scent that’s gorgeous but makes me nauseous. So, I appreciate how you describe the notes as either fresh or watery etc.

[@RainbowSludge]

I don’t have any of these but light blue, and it’s usually one I throw on before work and dont imagine it lasts. But I always get compliments on how good I smell lol! I am always surprised by that, for some reason. It does smell good though, just not super obvious to me,

[@dianeharrison4975]

Yes I agree I d had light blue on all day and someone asked what I was wearing . It lasts a long time I guess that’s why some are so expensive

[@Jenn_N]

Hi Josephine, I enjoyed your video! I have several of these fragrances but find I get more compliments from Delina exclusif than the original. I had Light Blue as my signature scent for years and I still enjoy it as a Summer Freshie. I find people seem to be attracted to scents that have that trendy vanilla clean musk base. I have tested the Burberry for Her but wasn't sure if I liked it. I haven't tested MFK BR. I do have Armani Prive Rouge Malachite. I enjoy the Initio Atomic Rose but don't yet have it. I am very curious about scherzo but it seems there are no retailers in Canada that carry it. It seems a bit risky to order directly from them without a test sample. (Duty and exchange rates are crazy here!) - Jenn
