Well, there's nothing wrong with looking and smelling nice. As a matter of fact, perfumes are motivators. Singers in choirs are not allowed to wear perfume for obvious reasons, but you can bet more than a dollar that they do when they're not performing. Why do perfumes smell differently on different people? I do not know, but I can guess it's got something to do with your body chemistry. I used to know a banker who only used one perfume - I don't remember which, but in my mind, she and her perfume were one and it was fabulous (and expensive). As for brands, I can't choose - Vera Wang, Gucci, Armani, Dior, Givenchy, Calvin Klein, Estee Lauder, Max Factor, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Tommy Hilfiger, Chanel. You be the judge.
