    i bought this one reduced fromn £53 to £16.75 thats 69% off , surely that'll do a fifteen year old . http://www.supaperfume.com/Products/browsetitle,Rochas+Femme/sex,womens


    This fragrance isn't really for a young girl - it's a very mature fragrance and is more targeted towards someone older. I used to work in a fragrance department and noone young ever bought it, it was always mature women.

    What about Paris Hilton Heiress? 100ml £14.95, rrp is £36 so a 59% saving.

    or Britney Spears Curious? 100ml £13.75, rrp is £39 so 65% saving.

    I would think they were suitable for a 15 year old.

    Edit: I've just had a look at Argos and they're selling Britney Spears Curious 30ml for £19.99 and Boots are selling the 100ml bottle for £39 so it's loads cheaper at Supaperfume.

    thanks i did look at that britney one but went for £3 more at £16.75 since it had a RRP of £53 instead of £13.75 , i know nowt about perfume and never thought you got different ones for different ages so i'll wait till the other one comes home then order it as she is really fussy with trainers and clothes and food so she is probably fussier about perfume..
  • Buying a perfume for someone without knowing that they like the smell is a bit of a gamble. My wife has spent her whole life trying perfumes on her skin, I would guess at least two hundred so far, and there are only about six that she actually likes... :o
    Thanks to all who post constructively.

    Any thoughts before I trawl the shops (or is there a website that can make the best deal):confused:

    Not only is it vitually impossible to successfuly buy someone a perfume 'blind', you also have no idea what it will smell like on the person's skin-every perfume smells different on different people as the varied chemical make up in each individual's skin changes the scent!:)

    Best to try to find out(discreetly)what perfume they like, particularly if they're a teen-notoriously difficult to buy for & very choosey about labels etc:rolleyes:
