    Wow! :j Wow! :j Wow! :j Wow!

    Mine have arrived today - sooooo pleased with them - the Anais Anais, Youth Dew, Kenzo Flower, Joy and Lou Lou are all spot on the originals! Can't believe how strong they are, a little goes a long way...will definately be ordering again - at £2 each they are an affordable treat!

    Thank you Tigersilly!

    Yay, that's good to know.

    I've actually gone back and ordered Aquolina Pink Sugar.

    I was actually recommended to wear 212 Sexy by a gentleman who came into a store I used to work in. He asked me what perfume I like, and I said DKNY New York (very fresh, sharp but inviting)...and he recommended 212 Sexy. I don't know if he was flirting or really genuine. So now is my chance to try it on the cheap.

    What others do you have!? :j

    I've got CK1, Angel, Kenzo Flower, Eternity, Pure Poison, 212 Sexy, all of which are spot on, and Coco Mademoiselle and Burberry London which are not quite there but still really nice and I do wear them.

    I've also got a couple of the non designer ones, Grapefruit, and Orange Ginger Awake which aren't very strong but would work well in burners for room fragrance I think.

    UK ebay have now banned the sale of testers(the ones you see on counters, without the fancy boxes ), and fake smell alikes too. Seems some of the perfume companies recently won a court case.

    I will miss the testers as you could get great deals on those.

    Noooo! The testers were one of the main reason I bought from EBAY (better formula, stronger, less to use and fewer people bid!) Grrr! Why do some ppl have to spoil something for everyone- what harm did it cause to anyone having the testers being sold?!
