In my experience, there are two types of perfumes. The first is what I call a “slow burn” smell. You might not be sure about it at first, but slowly, you’ll find yourself coming back for more. Eventually, you realize you are in deep, and it becomes one of your favorite scents. The second is the instant-connection type. You fall in love the first time you smell it, and you might even adopt it as a signature scent. However, recently, I have realized that there is a third type. I call it the compliment-magnet category.<\/p>\n
These perfumes will fetch you endless compliments from friends, family members and even strangers walking by on the street. Whatever you want to call it \u2013 effortless popularity or universal appeal \u2013 these fragrances have it. And it just so happens that some of the most tried-and-true, attention-grabbers can be found at Nordstrom. That’s why I thought it was time we provided a shopping guide of sorts. Ahead, we’ve compiled a list of the 13 Nordstrom perfumes with the potential to earn the highest praise, according to five scent-obsessed WWW editors.<\/p>\n
