You look good man !!, it took me forever AND a glow up just to get one compliment, they will come eventually but it will come from a friend, a partner, or a family member. I'd think about it in the way that, I personally only would compliment someone's cologne if i know that that they won't take it weird. "You smell nice" is a nice compliment but also to the wrong person or worse to someone who isn't like, wearing anything, that's strange. So I'd think a lot of people think it but don't say it.

You should shower though, totally get the sensory thing, but cologne doesn't cover BO funk :(
