I always get compliments whether it's on how I'm dressed, skin, hair, fragrance, etc. But I always give compliments I've actually made it a habit because I want to put a smile on others faces, if only for a moment. You attract what you put out in the universe.
That’s so nice of you 🫶🏾
You have no idea how a simple compliment can change the trajectory of someone’s day ❤
I sometimes wonder about this. I think a lot of times it might depend on the culture where you are. For example I’m in the USA, and here I’d say it’s considered very personal to comment on someone’s fragrance, especially if they are opposite sex. So they may notice and like it (or not) without saying anything. My husband once noticed that someone commented on my scent, but he overheard them saying it to their friend, they didn’t say it to me directly. For the most part, the compliments I’ve gotten are from people I know well already. So I don’t take it personally! I love my fragrances and smelling good, so I wear them for me and nobody else. I genuinely enjoy them. They feel like the finishing touch to my outfits!
I perfectly understand why some will not do so directly but wouldn’t that be nice if they did. I agree culture and orientation has made some of us aware of boundaries and privacy but sometimes, it’s good to be able to break out of the norm and see how it is received 😊
Thanks for sharing ❤
@@adwoalovesfragrances5324 I completely agree! I made a decision to wear fragrances, so I don’t mind it when people notice. I put effort into my choices, so compliments are appreciated even if it isn’t what motivates me to wear a scent.
💯
In my experience a fresh and sweet profile frequently gets compliments…proximity is also a factor if you’re not an oversprayer.
A friendly face also invite people to comment 😊
Very right. Freahies and sweets seem to appeal more than other categories. Simple and basic but works 😂
I completely agree with your thoughts, Adwoa! Sometimes, persons might be wearing the most beautiful fragrance but their attitude is so awful that it distracts from the fragrance and everything about them just seems off-putting.
Thank you ☺️
If the attitude stinks, the perfume stinks automatically 😂
@@adwoalovesfragrances5324 Oh so true ! I remember a perfume I used to love was worn by someone who was not a nice person at all. I did not wear that perfume for a long time after she wore this perfume. 🤣
Thank you Adwoa for sharing your fragrance tips!
My pleasure! 🫶🏾❤️
In the 80's/90's there was an advert for Impulse body spray on tv here in the UK where a man ran after a woman because of her scent and gave her a bunch of flowers. When I was in my 20s that happened to me.. I was walking through the local market and a man dashed out and gave me a bunch of flowers and his number 😄 I ended up going out on a few dates but he wasnt the one for me... It was a fun thing to happen though and as I'd just been dumped after a 7yr relationship, it was good for my confidence. I've had a few compliments over the years since (as an oversprayer and then some), in supermarkets and the like but the 'Impulse effect' occasion was the best 😄
What a beautiful story it would have been if it worked it. Sorry about the demise of your relationship. I hope you are getting through it peacefully. You will be fine Hanna ❤
Lovely to read this. It reminded me of when I was about 10 or so and my Mum was with me ( she was 40 ) and we were in a florist buying flowers for Mum's friend. A handsome man was there ( about 30 or so, perhaps a touch younger) and was watching Mum and we left and he came up to her with some roses and gave them to Mum because she had such a beautiful smile and he felt it was sad that she was buying flowers for a friend and she deserved some. I never forget that.
You told no lies. Ppl absolutely do see you and judge you. Your appearance and how you present yourself does matter, the fragrances can only accentuate. You may in fact smell good, but if you look a mess lol no one is going to compliment you in your fragrance. I absolutely loved this. ❤
💯 Thank you ❤️
Nobody really cares🎯!! That's it Adwoa! Frag heads are the only ones really running around sniffing everyone lol. Looking good per usual I enjoyed the video.
Well said 😀
Wanting to outdo the other with our fragrances 😂
Thanks Tony ❤️
Right on point🤗what a wonderful speech with down to earth ideas 👏congrats for promoting the really important aspects and discouraging ideas such as buying perfumes in the seek of compliments ❤stay blessed and have only great moments 🫶🏻
🙌
I think compliments should not be the focus but once they come, we receive them gracefully ❤️
Sis… Can you please do a video demoing how you spray and layer your fragrances?
Thanks Jae. Noted 👍❤️
I always receive compliments from my neighbours and a lady told me i know when you use the elevator, i feel your beautiful perfumes😅😅😅😅 and from my son daycare ! I also like to give them, usually they boost confidence ! ❤❤❤
Love that! It’s always nice to also give compliments 👍❤️
For me, I know its because I'm not out in the public much (Also, I dont overspray. For me, more than 3 sprays is usually too much, I do tend to be sensitive to fragrances, at least on myself.). 🤷♀️😂 I even work from home. I always smell good though. I wear fragrances daily, because I love smelling them. ❤ My last complimented one was Afnan's Mystique Bouquet. And the one before that was a BR540 dupe. 😄
Right Heather! Sometimes you do not need to change the winning formula. If it works right, then that’s perfect especially that you work from home 👍❤️😊
Underspraying is a crime to me😂 unless you are sensitive to scents in general. I have to get my money's worth by getting the perfume to work. Otherwise, there is no point. Jist slap on some bodylotion and be on your. I carry my decants/bottles along. If you are turning into a faint skin scent, you are getting reapplied until we get home.
Layering your fragrances will also get it out of the uncommon zone. Test some layering combos and see how inventive you can be.
😂😂
Plus those many bottles need to know why we bought them 😂
Unless I got a decant of a particular fragrance, but I just carry the whole bottle along too
I always think I'm mad because I get get a fragrance to last for a month. Then I remember I'm an over sprayer 😂😂😂😂
Not at all 😂
You can easily go through a 100 ml in 2 weeks or even less if that’s the only one you wear😂
@@adwoalovesfragrances5324 Yep, I won't mention which perfume I am now on Bottle 3. 😄😅😂. But trying very hard to wear a lot of other scents as well. But I do buy a back up bottle as soon as I fall in love with a perfume and have worn it for a week or so.
I get complimented, but I'm an oversprayer and I top off throughout the day. Genuinely enjoy when people compliment or take a huge sniff near me😂
Beautiful Adwoa... thank you for this Video ❤. Thank you for giving us good Scent Tips. I'm an Oversprayer too. Because I want to smell my Scent much Hours 😊. Greetings and hugs from Germany 🥰
That’s what’s up! Over spraying 😂
Thanks for sharing Nikolina. Much love from Ghana 🇬🇭 ❤
I simply love it when TH-camrs groom up nice when reviewing fragrances. Its just more relatable . 💚💚💚💚💚💚
Thank you ❤
You dropped some truth bombs. ❤
☺️☺️🤗
Thanks Charlotte ❤
Adwoa, WORD! Everything you said is truth. I’m definitely team overspray, and I regularly get complimented, even though I primarily wear fragrance because I love to smell good… I thank you for sharing this 😁😁😁😁. Especially for the “nobody really cares “😅😂😂😂😅! So so true. Another lovely one Adwoa, and beautiful as always😘😘
Yeap! Over spraying will get the job done 😂 plus with these many bottles, what are we hoarding for 😂
Sad but true, no boos as invested in our fragrances as we are 😂
Nice video!!!. We just don't talk to each other in the USA!!! We live behind screens!!! But I do get compliments!!!!
I know right! I really can relate 😢
That is sad that we really don't talk to one another anymore. We truly really need to take time to establish relationships with each other
Often, fragrances are just the opening ppl look for when they want to talk to you. This is a guy's pov, but as a guy if you don't look approachable you won't get people approaching you even if you smell amazing. However, if you dress well, if you're good looking, if you exude happy energy, that's when people are more interested in talking to you and once they smell your fragrance they will use it to start a conversation.
I wish you could have put the names on the screen on down below. I can't remember or spell most of these fragrances. Thanks a bunch. Hope it's not too much work for you
Hi Cynthia,
Thanks! I mostly put the names on the screen. I sometimes even put both bottles with names under 👍❤️
I add one. The main focus should not to be getting complimented. Having Charisma and the rest will follow.
Getting smiles, people recognize you, start talking to you.
Then you have opened the doors for more.
When the child in our hearts and souls is happy, then we spray Charisma. Then it does not matter if the scent is 15$ or 500$, then it is just the topping🎉
I agree ❤
I love your choker! Where did you buy it? I’d love to get me one
Dear Adwoa, what a brilliant video. I love how you addressed this issue. I agree with you 100%.
I must admit I do wear perfumes mainly for myself. I could never go a day without wearing perfume. And I am an over sprayer. I do of course try and wear perfume that is suitable for wherever I am going to be. I will try and restrain from over spraying ( or too loud perfumes) if I am going somewhere where I feel someone may be sensitive to strong perfumes etc. Due to having Long Covid and chronic ill health I do not go out much the way I used to do, so of course I can wear perfumes for myself. I am lucky that Gerry does not dislike any of the perfumes I am wearing but even if he hated one , I would wear it when he is not there and wear the perfumes he likes on me all other days.
I love that you are so honest as our appearance is something that is always judged on.I think ensuring we look our best is not only important because when people see us, they will judge us on our appearance but because we all feel better when we do look 'put together' . I know ( sadly when wearing a mask this is not something I can do) I always feel better as soon as I put lipstick or lip gloss or on, just that alone ( as far as make up is concerned ) already makes me feel better.
I admit that I do not wear perfume so I get compliments but like anyone else when I do get compliments it is lovely.
Being of a 'mature' age ( although the inner teenager who gets passionate about life and is excited to learn & do new things) I also have had to come to term with the fact that once you reach a certain age, you become more invisible.
In my younger days when I was modelling I would always get a lot of attention but as we get into the 'wiser mature woman' age we are seen differently.
I also feel the way we act is also something very important as you can look stunning but people will not remember you if you were not kind and did not listen to people or were impolite. As you said everyone has so much on their mind when you go out and mingle and talk to people. Frag Heads are possibly the only people that actually will try and smell other perfumes on guests or take notice , I certainly do. They may not be noticing your perfume at all, but if you do connect with people, whether it is due to making proper eye contact and listening to them speak and showing you care, that will make an impact and then someone may lean closer and actually take notice of your perfume.
The biggest reaction I had ever had , was wearing a Middle Eastern perfume oil for the first time, I had put it on hours ago and could still smell it when I moved but it was not a beast scent or loud but I had to go to the doctor surgery to get something and ended up having to get an injection and suddenly there were all these nurses following me. That day I was overwhelmed by compliments and I feel one of the reasons was that it smelled different from other perfumes and even though when I mentioned it was a Middle Eastern perfume oil, some said they had bought a ME perfume , none had smelled this one and everyone asked me about it and said they followed the scent as they wanted to know who smelled so divine ( their words). It was one of the loveliest times ever at the clinic as I got to speak with all the nurses and every time I now go for an appointment they come to ' smell ' what scent I am wearing and most times I always end up getting compliments. But I truly did not wear the perfume that day for others or for compliments but for myself. I felt unwell and needed a lift and perfume always makes me feel better.
Sorry dear Adwoa for the oh so long comment but I found this video so fascinating and loved what you said and explained and I think it is so wonderful that you addressed this matter. From sunny ( yeah ! 😄🤩) Tasmania, with lots of love, Tia ❤💜❤
Sweet Gerry! So happy he loves your fragrances 😂
Please do not feel sorry about expressing yourself through long text. I appreciate every bit of it. Taking time to express and sharing your fragrance experiences is very much appreciated. Thank you. Love, Adwoa ❤️
@@adwoalovesfragrances5324 Thank you dear Adwoa, I truly love your videos. Love , Tia ❤
Beautiful Adwoa. Drop your skincare routine
Noted 👍
Thank you ❤
Good morning Beautiful Adwoa!❤❤❤
Although I wear my scents for me, I get tickled when someone compliments me! Why? Because I'm usually in jeans and a t-shirt, running errands at the grocery store, or driving through Starbucks for my favorite tea. ❤❤❤
Hi Lette!
I have few few special occasions to attend to a trip to the grocery store or simply errands are getting all the inputs 😂😂
I spare nothing 😂
@@adwoalovesfragrances5324 I want to be like you when I grow up! ❤️
I 100% agree with you, Adwoa. The other thing might be that you don't look approachable. It's similar being put together, but not the same. You know, some people have an attitude that tells you they don't want to be approached. They don't want to talk to others.
One more reason that comes to my mind is the culture. I live in a country where strangers rarely talk to each other. The streets are quiet. We don't walk around loving other people's clothes and makeup. Even smiling at a stranger feels weird. Nobody but a close friend or a family member will ever compliment you here.
I can relate Lucia. Sometimes you don’t even see people walking on the street depending where you are. Every one is driving and you only meet at the mall or church or children’s school so basically each person to themselves 😌
I get it
I share my office space with my cousin and he's also a fragrance lover. We both know we smell good individually.
I don't get compliments from him as such.
One day, I layered two uncommon fragrances together ( very light in my own opinion) and he walked into the office and said "damn, you smell really good".
I was really surprised because it means sometimes, just a little goes a long way.
Right?
Sometimes a compliment or two is all we need to take us through the day 😀
I give compliments a lot just to make someone’s day.
❤️❤️
What is that necklace you’re wearing?? Love it!😍
Thanks Rose ❤
I got it locally. They usually do not come with labels because sometimes the sellers do not want to show where that are from directly
@@adwoalovesfragrances5324 oh ok 😉💕
By far, my most complimented fragrance is Mayar Natural Intense. I have had as many as three separate compliments in one day from that perfume!
Thanks for sharing! Love that too. So fresh and natural smelling ❤️
I honestly get more compliments from strangers on how I'm dressed than I do my fragrances. However, I get more compliments on my fragrances from the people who know me personally & know I collect fragrances.
How many sprays are adequate to spray ?
I do anywhere between 15 to 25 and keep reapplying in the course of the day but that is just me. You should consider your limits so that you do not choke yourself 😂
I will get compliments with Yara but hardly from khamrah from the usual people
. Khamrah compliments come from fragrance enthisiasts. I spray all over and alot......love it
Oh interesting ☺️
Khamrah is one of the fragrances I compliment a lot and equally receive compliments as well
❤
Nobody really cares (this tickled me so)😭😭😭 Such a true statement 😂🤣😂
❤❤❤
Excellent video agrre with alot of what you said 💯
Appreciate that ❤️❤️
I Only get compliments from men from my fragrances, never a woman, well sporadically...The women just look around i know they're smelling me, is the reason.
Yea I have also personally realized that men give compliments than women, unfortunately 😌
I enjoyed this video Adwoa ❤
I'm glad Lebo 🫶🏾
Thank you ❤️
Girl can you do a video on perfume oils
I think some fragrances are too heavy on spice or florals. Those are the ones that bug me, but everyone's nose is different
The super floral ones bug me too😌
Sometimes what I don’t expect to get compliments on is what actually get them 😂
Love you
Love you more 🫶🏾❤️
I really don't care if I don't get compliments from other people about what I wear because I'm confident within myself that I don't need people to tell me they like what I wear 😂😂
Nobody cares! 😂😂😂😂❤
That’s the gospel truth 😂
Obaapa greetings.. great content totally agree with you wear your fragrances for yourself. Presentation matters.. 7 sprays doesn’t get you compliment.. me smelling good girl or br540 isn’t going to fetch you a compliment from me I’ve smelt it too many times.. 👏🏾🫶🏾👊🏾
😂😂😂😂
Yes give us something new. We still love the oldies but it becomes underwhelming after a while especially everyone wearing it ☺️
