    Boots does have some Sex and the City brand cosmetics in the Christmas gifts section (each set is named after one of the four main characters), I assume this is part of the same line? It's not a SJP product, I would think it's put out by the movie folks.

    Edit: Ya know, I can't find this anywhere else from a major retailer, and the box doesn't say "Sex and the City" it says "The Sexy Fragrance For The City." This may be a knockoff, actually.

    Carrie Sex in the City perfume? This is one of those brand rip off perfumes, beloved by market stall sellers isn't it? Usually sells for £5 anyway....

    There is no need to be rude.

    as stated in the title this was not just for the carrie perfume but also the FCUK and roxy one and all the others on there which are of good value. i was simply trying to be helpful to those who were trying to save their pennies this year!!
    £0.00/£2014 saved!

    No need to apologise for calling me rude. I simply wish to help people avoid being ripped off. Your beef should be with brandalley for selling this.

    Semi chem had SATC giftsets in a few weeks ago(they were pushing them at checkouts).....i cant log into Brand Alley as i forgot my password.
    tbh if they are the same then they were £7 and really not worth that.:(...it reminded me of the HSM perfume my 8 year old got...........watch out this has NOTHING to do with satc ..it IS cheap rip off

    I've seen Sex in the City perfume giftsets in Bodycare recently for £10 I think. It's got the same logo style as the Sex and the City merchandise but I don't think they're actually part of the official brand.

    If you have a search on Ebay you'll see quite a lot of these Carrie perfumes and they are very cheap, thankfully i did a search first before buying this as i'm guessing it's a cheap knock off.

    Even with the excuse of stopping people being ripped off, i'm afraid your post was rude at worst, abrupt at best!
    The golden rule on here is please be nice to other posters.
    I'm sure you could have worded your post in a more civil and polite way :p

    It's a shame that the deal wasn't what it seemed at first but well done op for trying. (that sounds sarky I know but I genuinely don't mean it in a sarky way!)
    To infinity and beyond - but mostly to Tesco!:D
  • I dont know...Ive seen them in my local boots and in the trafford center boots. Also in the perfume shop in the trafford center. They were merchandise from the sex and the city movies. Not sarah jessica parker 'knock offs' as some of you have stated.
    Maybe this one isnt 'real' ..who knows. But they definitely made 'real' ones to coincide with the release of the movie.
