18 Fragrances That Attract Mega Compliments

For many of us, a spritz of perfume is as crucial to our daily routine as moisturizer. It's the pièce de résistance, the final step of our morning regimen that makes us feel pulled together, no matter how little sleep we got the night before. It's a subtle and undeniably intimate ritual.

But that doesn't mean we don't appreciate it when other people notice. Some perfumes are personal favorites, while others are crowd-pleasers. (If you're lucky, you'll get a fragrance that can do both.) And we'll definitely admit to reaching for a scent in the latter category when we're in need of a little confidence boost or on special occasions like Valentine's Day.

If you're looking for a few scents that will elevate your mood and win the popular vote, we've got you covered. Keep scrolling for 18 fragrances that attract mega compliments.
