Perfume: "The Devil wears Perfume", "Carrie", "Fleur", "Infinity"

p1an0player

There is a shop called "Perfume Addiction" on Oxford Street, just opposite the Plaza shopping centre.

There was a bloke at the entrance with a microphone selling perfume with the names I put in the title. A whole bag of different perfumes for £20.

Apparently "The Devil wears Perfume" is a new perfume launch normally retailing at £40 per bottle.

I haven't tried this perfume, nor have I heard of any of the brands.

Does anyone wish to comment?

Looking at Ebay they look like cheap perfumes cashing in on celebrity. The Devil Wears Perfume is from The Devil Wears Prada and Carrie is some Sex and the City spin off. Not selling for much on Ebay and probably coming to a Poundshop near you soon!

Thanks for the tip off though. It could have been the bargain of the year!

Thanks for this. What about Fleur perfume? the man said that every woman knows about it - has anyone heard of it?

I'm a woman - well I was last time I checked;) and I've never heard of Fleur perfume.

There was a stall selling this same selection at the Festive gift fair at the NEC last week...

Lots of people were seen carrying the branded bags around! I wasn't convinced.

I think the old adage 'if it looks too good to be true it probably is' is as true today as ever... 4/5 bottles of quality perfume for £20? I don't think so...

I bought some in Liverpool today smelt the devil wears perfume one and it wasnt too bad, then he put 5 more in the bag all for £20, the rest aint so nice lol,
never heard of any of the makes, but the man insisted the devil wears perfume one is out next month, and another one if from a top name ( cant remember what one)

Fleur is probably a spin off from (Estee Lauders?) Flair. One of my Mums old faves which they don't make anymore. They're no doubt fake, watered down and down right awful. The testers (if he has them) will probably be decent stuff, but the sold lot won't be!

What about Posh by Beckham?

Sounds feasible ?!

If beckham had a new perfume out we would all know about it by now as there would have been adverts everywhere
