    O/T sorry
    Hi I was wondering if anyone could give me some recommendations on perfume:confused:
    I have won £250 to spend at the perfume shop and am writing a list out and not to sure what to go for :rolleyes:
    I like girly fragrances and perfumes that are not too over powering and am totally lost :o
    Has anyone got any recommendations as I know you are all a knowledgable lot :D
    Any help would be greatly appreciated :beer:

    Just to keep it on topic hope they bring a new voucher out soon lol :o


    Hi Cheeky, congrats on your win you lucky thing!!

    My absolute fave is Lacoste Pour Femme (yellow packaging), it's gorge! When I first started wearing it a woman stopped me in Iceland and said that I smell lovely and what is it (!). After making sure she wasn't a stalker slash psycho type (I have had problems with a woman following me before :o :eek: :rotfl: ) I told her and she was off to get some herself!


    I couldn't tell you what it smells like though sorry, kind of light and feminine and not too strong if that helps?

    Hiya

    I find Anna Sui fragrances to be light and girly - I like Dreams and Secret Wish. You may be able to get a gift set leftover from Christmas at a reduced price - I got Dreams for around £14.xx just after Christmas.

    I'm not really up to date with newer perfumes as I seem to just stick to the ones I know I like :o and know I thought it was time to broaden my horizon and try new ones as it's not me paying for them :rotfl:
    Thanks again :D

    Nice shop NineTails, 3 freebies, £x.xx in change, points and a £2 off tillspit, well done:T

    Cheekyd, congratulations on your £250 fragrance voucher. :j
    Choosing any fragrance is such a personal thing.
    Why not ask for some 'Fragrance Samples' and then you will be able to try them out before deciding which ones to get.
    If you do go out on a mass Fragrance buying/ testing spree, after a while you will find it hard to sniff out the
    subtle differences between each product, but a quick sniff of fresh coffee beans does clear the airways so you can start afresh
    (very often perfume stores do have coffee beans for this very purpose).
    Have fun choosing and let us know how you get on. :)

    Westfields White City

    Was getting my card out for the ACM today and SA came over and showed me how it goes in - only problem was she put it the wrong way. Bless.

    Used the magic 3 No7 ACM coupons today (DD2 had a highlighter one show up on hers) so put though SS tills in following order:

    1. Peel
    2. Line lift
    3. Highlighter

    then the coupons in this order:

    1. Line lift
    2. Powder
    3. Peel

    No beeps. Got 1.45 change, 36pts and a pooey. Saving 43.25.

    DH wants to know if Mr B sells real estate.

    Nice one NT...:T :T Well Done!!! :T :T So not only Mr B gave u the items free but even pd u to take them away lol!!!:p :D :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Very curious when the SS till gave u change did the SS SA not query it/ was she not aware of what had just happened? Also as all items went free how come the till gave u the £2 voucher? Did the coupons go thru as Boots/Branded coupons or were these taken off the price of the items? TIA

    Oooh I forgot, the Davidoff Cool Water is lovely too (again, no good with describing but it's kind of fresh!)! I don't have many perfumes at the mo and like you I stick to the same but I do try to buy a new one (with ponts from glitches of course!) every few months and that was my last one and I love it. That was before xmas so think I may be due a new perfume treat soon :D

    I like clinique Happy (citrusy and quite summery and floral but fresh) and DKNY Be Delicious (fruity and fresh - I get asked what I'm wearing sometimes when I'm wearing it)!
