I can spot Light Blue easily, but I am surprised that it seems to smell nice on everyone except myself.
Kenzo Flower is another one which is way over worn by the ladies here in HK as if everyone has a bath tub full of this substance. You & others have mentioned Light Blue as smelling different on others, I think that's true. A salesgirl in Neiman Marcus was wearing it, and it smelled so rich & deep on her, so I bought it, and on me, it just smells like Apples in cedar. No richness or depth, like on that girl. A completely different scent on both of us.

Answer:
I agree Shalimar is very recognizable, also Angel, Lolita Lempicka, and plenty of others that I smell on young women at my college. Some, I don't even know the names of, but vanilla/musky seems to be very popular - it might be a Victoria's Secret scent. It always strikes me as a very sexy scent to wear to classes, but I'm an old fogey so what do I know.
I also agree that Amarige can smell very different on different people. Angel, too, I was surprised to discover, can smell very different on a few lucky people (unrecognizable). But the one that surprised me most recently was my sister in law, who smelled so good, and when I asked her what fragrance she had on it was Liz Taylor's White Diamonds (!!). I have nothing against White Diamonds at all, even wore it myself years ago. But it was totally unrecognizable, very classically chypre'ish (to my chypre-confused nose). Who knew?

Answer:
For the first question:Angel ,Hypnotic Poison and Chanel no 5.
2nd question: Mitsouko,Dior Addict and Samsara.

Answer:
Miracle by Lancome is the most easy one for me to recognize.

Answer:
Tommy Girl and Giorgio Beverly Hills. Or are these too obvious?

Answer:
Youth Dew, Bulgari Pour Femme, Armani Sensi, Emporio Armani She, D&G Feminine, JPG Classique, Oscar by Oscar De La Renta, Poison, Gucci Rush - are some which easily recognisable to me. FlowerbyKenzo is one fragrance which smells the same on everyone I have met wearing it. That's only about six people by the way but it is a very distinctive fragrance. Angel, although recognisable, does vary quite a bit from person to person. I have a friend who wears it on a regular basis and it can be quite changeable on her too. Sometimes during my working day I will meet women who are wearing fabulous scents which smell wonderful on them and I can guess they might be Guerlains or Estee Lauders but can't tell which ones for sure. I think Guerlain and Estee Lauder both have there own house style sillage, if that makes any sense to you! There are a couple of Guerlains which might be workable for me but I can't wear Estee Lauder fragrances at all.

Answer:
Angel, Youth Dew, Amarige and Opium are always very recognizable to me, probably as they are ubiquitous.
I have harder time with newer scents. I can usually spot Guerlains and Chanels...can't always distinguish among the fruity floral genre

Most other fragrances are more hit-or-miss, recognitionwise, for me.

Angel and Opium.
