>>936346103 (OP)Fragrances should be worn for yourself, not for others or attention.
That being said, you should keep in mind several things when reading others accounts of getting compliments/attention due to their fragrance.
1) Most of its bullshit. Flat out, most of its bullshit from people lying on the internet to seem interesting to randos, because any minuscule amount of attention they can get, even on a Kyrgyzstan mussel diving website, is more than they’ll get in their normal life.
2) In the cases where it’s true, it’s coming from someone they already know and are familiar with, someone where it wouldn’t be out of the ordinary to chat with and have the topic of their fragrance come up. Coworkers, friends, family, and the like, not strangers.
3) Last, in the rare instances of true, genuine compliments from strangers on the street, it’s almost always has little to do with the actual fragrance, and more to do with the person wearing it. Which is to say, they’re usually a very attractive person and the stranger complimenting their fragrance cares less about the fragrance and more about the fact they find the wearer attractive. But, because outright complimenting a persons physical attractiveness in civilized society is a bit looked down upon (e.g. shallow), they can instead compliment their fragrance as a more passing, socially acceptable reason to start a conversation with a stranger.
