I think it's a case of each to their own. I have to say I've given 2 of my sets as gifts already and they have been well received.

I myself am also using one for work and I quite like it I think it's a lovely fruity smell, certainly not like Germolene and carpet cleaner, And I am personally offended TBH at that description.

Ok if you don't like it fine, but no need for such strongly worded EXAGGERATED descriptions. Especially when there are plenty of people who have both bought.......... and LIKED the perfume.

Infact I personally feel that your post is very patronising and comes across as if you are making fun of those of us who like the perfume, and putting down those who have bought it.

To anyone who has bought this perfume and are concerned because of a exaggerated opinion IMO, please remember that everyone's taste is different.
Most little girls love fruity fragrances and appreciate the thought. I work in a school with over 400 children - 327 of them are girls. So I'd rather listen to their opinions TBH. At the end of the day they know what they're talking about apparently as we are told often when it comes to things like this lol

I'm now off to phone my local Boots store to see of they have any of these sets at 50p. If they do I'll be buying more of them

if i was buying for little girls, fair enough - if i'm buying for me, i''m not likely to be paying much attention to the opinion of little girls. I like the smell of germolene, so it wouldn't put me off buying a perfume that reminds someone of germolene . Perfume smells different to, and on, everyone. Some perfumes that people rave over make me feel physically sick, and they're expensive.

I'm reeling at the thought of a classroom full of pupils wearing a perfume smelling like Germolene (or any other strong smelling ointment) ......:eek:

the person who said it smelled like germolene may have a sensitive nose so it might not be exaggerated!
I have a friend who loves chanel 5 on people, as soon as she sprays it on her skin she reeks of cat wee! some perfumes can react with a persons skin and cause unusual smells.

But those perfumes are targeted at young girls.

i get that - but the previous OP wears it herself as an adult, and is considering buying more for herself - i'm just saying that as an adult i wouldn't be taking the opinions of pre-teen girls into account when considering a perfume choice for me.

Wander off topic?

The sale has ended, so surely the thread should have gone

I wasn't aware that the sale had ended. The thread has now been moved to It's Gone.
