Not sure what you mean about fresh smelling but the Clinque Happy (type) is very light and pretty. Good to wear in the day time. I have just finished mine and will be ordering more.

hi all,

I have read quite a few posts in this thread but it is very long

So i was just wondering if anyone has used the spray bottle to dispense their perfumes and also do you think you could spray this stuff into your hair or is it too oily...i know that sounds a bit wierd but i do like to do that with normal perfume :cool:.

Thanks x

I am going to give these a go, I am trying to find a wedding perfume but I don't want to spend too much money unnecessarily. I might go along to boots to smell some then order from perfume palour.

Did your order come yet? I placed my third order around the same time as you, dashed of an email asking if there was a problem on Tuesday, got a reply saying we are working thru orders as quickly as we can and they arrived yesterday morning. I think PP are really busy at the mo, probably due to this thread!!!:p

Quick tip, if you look for Base.notez (note the dot between base and notez) on ebay its perfume parlour and they do 5 bottles for £8 inc P+P

Not sure about this. They are oils and quite viscous. I have read somewhere that you can apply them to your hands and then wipe over your clothes but I have not tried that. When I roll it on to my arms, I then rub it in with my hands and then run my hands through my hair. I have a very short choppy hair style so this works well for me.

I received my oils from the perfume palour ebay shop. when i posted the link in the above post (165) i said i wasnt sure if they came with the carry pouch as they were £2 cheaper and didnt mention them . i just wanted to confirm they do come in the pouch.

Thanks that sounds great then as i have a short bob so could do the running throught it after dryed it instead of serum :j

They are just such a good offer and feedback has been great x

The oils can stain clothes (I had one leak in my drawer, so i know) - I wouldn't recommend putting the oil directly on your clothes.

You can smooth it through your hair if you want - though some oils can be a bit thick and sticky. I'm very blonde and the perfume oil doesn't show. Though never get it near your lips, nose or eyes - as I did once, ouch!

My brother buys perfume oils for all his children, dilutes it with alcohol and dispenses it into a spray bottle. I'm not sure if you could get alcohol in UK. He was living in Thailand at the time and alcohol is readily available in the supermarket.
