I have Britney Spears' perfume!

And I refuse to tell people what it is.

It does smell lovely though.

I have the original Paris Hilton one and I love it but don't tell people what it is and I don't want everyone wearing it!

I have the reverse problem, my perfume is one from Avon called "Celebre". I really liked it so bought it on their 3 for £5 deal...

I do really like it, but when someone asks what it is, I go all shy because people usually laugh!

Yes I heard Martin mention it on GMTV the other day and wanted to know which one. I'd like to buy some for my OH if it's that good!

My friend that works in Superdrug tried all the fragences and testers - and last year she did a great job matching fragrences to her friends - we both love the ones that we got - My husband was OK with telling people that he was wearing David Beckham - but no way will I own up to Celine Dion!! :-)

Default fills me with appropriation

Fills you with what?

appropriation - setting money aside
appropriation - deliberate act of acquisition

you just can't get off those money oriented themes can you?

I remember a recent survey on GMTV where some rugby players had to smell different women's perfumes.
The fragrance that won was Katie Price Stunning but I just can't bring myself to go into a shop and smell it in public!

Hehe, I must take some responsibility here, since I missed this one when I proofed the blog.

Following some discussion with Martin, we settled simply on 'horror', which is merely an unofficial financial theme...
