  • My favourite is Armani code and I've had a few bottles of Pure Wish by Chopard . I also like citrus fragrances and have L'Occitane lemon verbena . I've been out today trying some different smells but each one has faded quickly . Must be my skin but heavy smells eg Flowerbomb do last but I don't want to wear that all the time . I've had many perfumes over the years . Masumi was one I liked and I wore Memoire Cherie for our wedding . I also loved Ma Griffe so got some last year . It's awful , can't wear it . I saw someone posted about Aqua Manda being available , loved that too but think I'll leave it in the past in case it's horrible too . I think smells date , eg Paloma Picasso , Youth Dew , so while I wore them then, I wouldn't now .

    Ooh , that's really handy to know ..... I didn't realise that you could get refillable bottles .

    They had Angel & another one that I can't remember the name of.

    I was never sure whether I really liked Aqua Manda or not - kept havering. I think that was out around (or maybe a bit before) Geminesse (was it by Max factor) - loved that!

    When I was home the other week, Mum and I tried some Giorgio Armani Si and both her and I loved it although her more than me I think! I'm going to buy her some for Xmas - but its £43 for a 30ml bottle :eek: her present budget is £50 but shes very, very hard to buy for so I'm just going to get her that and a few more bits.
    I got CkIn2u for my birthday along with the Cool Water Sea Rose I previously mentioned, OH is buying me Lady Million for Xmas and Mum has got me Viva La Juicy which I absolutely love but refuse to pay for myself :D I also have Vera Wang Pink Princess, Next Paradise, BeneFit Crescent Row, Ted Baker for women, and another vote here for Paul Smith Rose. I got given a sample at my rugby club's Ladies Night a couple of years back and loved it ever since, I bought a 100 ml bottle for a bargain price of £23 in TJ Hughes last year and am trying to make it last as long as I can!!
    My first perfume was CK1 which I wore for years, along with Body Shop White Musk, then I switched to Cool Water for Women, then Ultraviolet and Angel (I still wear Angel, I'd forgotten about that!) I wore Vera Wang Princess on my first date with OH and he said I smelled so lovely he bought me a bottle on our third date :)

    Why don't you buy it on a boots points night it's on 30th/31st oct dependant on area and there are another two after that.. That way for a £50 spend you will get £12.00 points added to your advantage card so you could use that to get her couple of other bits n bobs for free then... Savy shopping & you won't feel bad if she only has few things then... HTH :)
  • Hi guys,

    I want to buy my wife a new perfume for chirstmas. She likes very sweet scents. Any suggestions? I don't want a disappointed wife on Christmas day!

    If she's not averse to celebrity scents I suggest Katy Perry's newest one, Killer Queen. It's really yummy! And the bottle is pretty spectacular too.

    Oooh! I have a lot of things to buy so a £100 spend is not out the question- how do I find out when the event is on in my area?

    Premier Jour by Nina Ricci is very nice. I always get comments from people asking what it is.

    For some reason it is only available in airports and online, but I would only buy it online anyway to save £££, but I understand that some people would not want to buy it without testing if they like it.
