Womans advice needed!

I'm looking at some perfumes to buy for my mother as a birthday gift but can't decide which is best. Hopefully someone here can recommend what I should buy!

The choice is between Parada L'Eau Ambree, Vera Wang Bouquet or Chloe

Thanks.

    you get to make your own perfume and name it. It is a good time and we both think it was worth the money to have your own perfume.

  • Chloe is lovely but couldn,t you sneakily find out her favourite?
  • This place is fab! Not too hefty on the price, I have received freebies in the past too. Not a huge range of fragrance but something for everyone

    Don't do it, Elky, until you've done what Harriet suggests.

    You really have to like a perfume to wear it. I've had some very expensive perfumes bought for me that make me feel sick and nauseous. It's just a waste of money sitting in a drawer now. I have to move away from people who wear particular perfumes because I can't stand their smell.

    Go into Boots or Superdrug and ask for a tester tab for these three perfumes. The assistant will spray the perfume onto a piece of card. Take the tabs home and ask Mum what she thinks - you'll have to pretend that you are buying for someone else!
    It's a great gift if you get it right, so good luck.
