    It took me a few minutes to figure out how to select one of the scents once I'd decided on the size I wanted. Scroll right down to the bottom of the page and see the drop-down selector thingy.

    GrammarGirl you'll get them in the post on Tuesday at the latest I expect, so could you post back on here about your selection? I'm interested in the Flower Bomb one myself

    Of course, I've never bought the original Flower Bomb as it's so expensive, but I can certainly let you know if it smells nice and Princess and Coco Mademoiselle are my favourite perfumes so I'll know how good those two are! :)

    Whoo hoo! Just 'found' this thread....why haven't I noticed it before?:confused:

    Will look forward to reading it properly and checking out the site when get home from work later! Sounds promising.......... especially when I notice some of the discerning posters who seem to be approving;)

    Have been on a mission to use up some of my perfumes this year and deliberately didn't ask for any for November birthday and Christmas or buy any at the airport as I usually do. Was only thinking this week, my selection was starting to look depleted. This could keep me going til Birthday/Christmas comes round again!

    Hello! Got my perfumes this morning and am so pleased! Princess is spot on, Coco Mademoiselle isn't quite right but still smells delicious, and I've never had Flower Bomb before so don't know if it's a good copy but it smells lovely anyway so I'm pleased!

    Thanks so much for the heads up, and thanks to whoever bumped this thread and brought it to my attention! :)
  • Just ordered Romance (Type) Kenzo Flower (Type) The one (Male Type) Light Blue (Type) Acqua Di Gio (Type)

    Cant wait to get them now!! :j

    If they're good I'm ordering in 8ml Vera Wang (Type) Burberry London (Type) Vera Wang Princess (Type).

    And then in 3ml Pleasures Delight (Type) Hugo Boss (Type) Daisy (Type) Michael Kors (Type) Flower Bomb then Noa (Type) In Love Again (Type).

    Please let me know if u've used any of these from Perfume Parlour especially cos I'll be giving them to friends.

    Everyone's gonna love me more!! :T
  • stawberries1 : Then Michael Kors (type) smells nice from the roll on but when it is applied to skin it is horrible! I used to wear MK all the time and was disappointed :(
  • Oops! Thanx for your review Miss Nadine. I'll drop that from my list then.
    Ta!!
  • I've only used the Romance. It smells ok but doesnt last as long in my opinion. Bought The One for my H2B, it smelt really light and didnt last at all!!

    Do you mean repackaged, as in made in the same factory with the same ingredients? Or simply smell-alike?
