Question:
Always more compliments on mainstream. Not niche or chypres.

Answer:
categorizing niche and mainstream has its limits, it simplifies too much, do you consider a classic like Mitsouko as mainstream as Innocence?
do you consider Serge Lutens ' s best seller Fleurs d 'Oranger as niche as much as his exclusive line?

Answer:
I get more compliments from mainstream fragrances - The ones I get the most compliments on are:
Angel
Britto Woman
Tresor
Jacques Phillippe Angelica
Banana Republic W
Acqua Di Gio
Perry Ellis America
Gap So Pink
As far as niche fragrances, I only have gotten compliments on:
Bond No 9 Gramercy Park and
L'Artisan Bois Farine.

Clair de Musc and Rose Barbare also get me lots of compliments but nothing compared to Fleurs d 'Oranger. I know everyone has different tastes, but I smelled this fragrance today at Neiman Marcus, and although it is very feminine & pretty, it smelled VERY ORANGE & FLOWERY, if you like that kind of fragrance, so honestly, even though it is classified a niche fragrance, it could pass as mainstream.

Answer:
Mainstream and it's not even close....If it's compliments that You want.....Mainstream is the way to get them.
