    Ok, Balenciaga by Cristobal.

    Unfortunately, impossible to get anymore! Haven't found suitable substitute and I am on my last drops of it...


    Don't know if this is any good ginvzt?

    It's so annoying when you like a perfume and it's discontinued. I used to love the first Armani perfume and the rare bottles you can still get cost up to £200 and are probably quite old too.

    My very favourite at the moment is Elle by YSL but wear A Touch of Pink by Lacoste to wear during the day. Really like Touch by Burberry.

    I'm really lucky as my big sis keeps buying perfume then decides she doesn't like them so I get them! I tend to finish a bottle of perfume then forget that I like it and get something completely different!

    My list is currently
    Chanel Chance ( love it on other people ,smells funny on me :( )
    Intimately Beckham ( cant stand her but the perfume is surprisingly nice:) )
    The Bond 007 perfume from Avon ( again ,I though 'tack ciity ' but it really is nice:) )
    Classique Jean Paul Gaultier ( gone off this though ,smells sickly sweet :()
    Got a few other like a Next floraly number etc .
    Have not found my 'fave' yet ,any suggestions ?

    Have a look at these skiTTish. Fragrantica is especially good because you can search under notes, designers, perfume families etc as well as name of perfume :

    Great for browsing if you're in a perfumey mood. :)

    My all time favourite is Pagan by Picot which hasn't been made for decades. If I'm feeling I need a lift then Mitsouko always makes me feel good and Bal de Versailles makes me feel rich.

    For a long time I've worn L'Heure Bleu by Guerlain - lol I just googled it to check the spelling and found out it was created in 1912 - I'm not quite as old as that, honest! :D Then at Christmas my o/h bought me Lola by Marc Jacob and I'm really liking that too.

    Saz x

    I got this from my son at Christmas too. I love the bottle. :D I do like the smell too though.

    I like the Light Blue by Dolce and Gabbana. I smelt it on someone once and asked what it was. I bought it for my daughter at Christmas but she doesn't like it, so I got it back. ;)

    Oooh Light Blue! Lovely! I've still got some of that but think it's about to go off. I've had several bottles of that. Cheap but smells expensive, love it!

    I've never been able to get it cheap. I think I got it on offer for about £20 for 25ml. :o

    I love Miss Dior, used it for years.

    I don't know if it's true, but I was told once that natural fibre clothes retain the perfume, so if you swap perfumes all the time it will confuse the scent. e.g at that time I had a lot of nice mohair handknit tops.

    Not sure where you are but TJ Hughes sometimes do sets of it really cheaply, I think under £15 for perfume and lotion. They have a website and possibly you can buy stuff online.
    Also Cheapsmells site I've found really good and they probably do it with a sizeable discount.
