What I found to be rather disheartening is sifting through the comments of people claiming that they have never received a compliment on a fragrance. I found this upsetting and a little hard to believe. It seems to me that there is some unnoticed yet significant underlying reason why someone wouldn't have received a compliment on a fragrance after years of wearing fragrances. It goes without saying (and will not come as a surprise to those who follow my YouTube page) that my most complimented scent, by far, is Creed's Aventus.
My continued success with this fragrance is what prompted this blog post. In addition to having worn this fragrance for many years, I also wore it on my wedding day and all throughout my honeymoon. My wife even went through the trouble of getting me an Aventus cake on our wedding day! To answer the question on everyone's mind: No, it did not have pineapple filling!
I wear Aventus to work, I wear it to friends' houses, I wear it to parties, and I have even worn it to bed. So, due to the frequency with which I wear it, the odds are that I'm bound to get complimented on it. However, I'm convinced that there is something about Aventus that gets me compliments that I wouldn't be able to get with a different fragrance even if I tried. Here are a few compliments I've received:
On one occasion, I was in the hallway at my job when one of the secretaries walked right past me. As she approached me, she asks, "Is that you who smells so good?" As I tried to retain my humility, I respond with a quick "I don't know," and she goes about her way. A minute or so later, she walks past me again, this time, going in the opposite direction. She compliments me again and even asks me to write down the name of the fragrance along with the website from which it can be purchased and even how much it costs.
On another occasion, a separate coworker told me that she rode the elevator a few extra stops because my scent lingered in the small space, and she couldn't get enough of it. This incident reminded me of the time when another coworker stood inches away from me. When I noticed the proximity, she defends herself by saying, "If you're wondering why I'm standing so close to you, it's because you smell SO GOOD!"
I know what you're thinking by now: "Wow. You have very friendly coworkers!" Well, I guess I do! Despite the amount of compliments that I have received from Aventus, I don't think it would've all been possible if I hadn't conducted myself with confidence, a friendly demeanor, a cheerful disposition, and a social proclivity. For those you seek compliments on your fragrances, my advice to you is: Wear your fragrance like a glove. Wear it and don't let it wear you. Also, initiate the complimenting! Every action has an equal but opposite reaction! People compliment those who are likely to compliment.
