Attractiveness is subjective, varying greatly from person to person. However, certain nose shapes are more frequently cited as attractive. While there's no single "most attractive" nose, research and anecdotal evidence suggest several popular choices.

Other Factors Affecting Perception
Beyond the basic shape, several other factors influence whether a nose is perceived as attractive:
-
Proportionality: A nose's attractiveness is closely tied to its proportion relative to other facial features. A large nose on a small face might be perceived differently than a similar nose on a larger face.
-
Refinement and Chisel: A well-defined, "chiseled" look, regardless of size, tends to be considered more attractive than a bulbous or disproportionate nose. Source: Why do me and a lot of my girl friends find big noses attractive?

Individual Preferences: Ultimately, personal preferences greatly influence what someone finds attractive. What one person finds beautiful, another might not.

Conclusion
The attractiveness of a nose is subjective and depends on various factors including shape, size, and proportion to other facial features. While certain shapes like straight and button noses are frequently cited as attractive, individual preferences ultimately determine what is considered beautiful.
