sofababe, durrr, i didn't think to look. i am just sooooo excited as i live in the middle of nowhere in a small french village and perfume is something that a)they dont really sell out here, we have to go to the big towns for something like that and b)its soooooo expensive here. you would think that as most perfumes are made in france it might be cheaper ... no way. also, i know that i have a few squirts left in my old bottle and i wont be getting to the uk until mid-march, i would have be perfumeless until then : (. however, i have now looked and it appears that my order has been dispatched, so, allowing for french post, it should be here in about a week. yippeeeeee. will look forward to posting the results of my smellathon when i get all ... 13 bottles that i ordered.

Oh my goodness! 13 bottles without trying them, thats quite a lot of faith u must have in our reviews
I don't think u'll be disappointed. I've only ever had a couple that I didn't like and I've had nearly 30 bottles so far!!
I've just received Cabotine (lovely), Beautiful (not bad, but not as I remember it) and Vera Wang Princess (gorgeous & lasts better than the genuine one!)0 -
stumbled across this thread on thursday made an order that day and it arrived this morning very pleased!
i got
armani code (the same as original)
d&G light blue (not convinced with this one dosen't quite smell right)
the other 3 i ordered ive not smelt the originals
vera wang princess
ed hardy
flowerbomb
i got the last three just reading this thread and im very pleased will be ordering again so thanks all! :j0 -
sofababe, i have loads of faith in my friends on this site, and i dont doubt that i will be more than pleased with my order, most of them were things that you and other regulars have recommended. i keep going to the postbox hoping that they will have arrived, but i know that it will take at least a week. i don't know how i am going to be able to contain myself for that long. its also quite exciting as i have ordered a couple of things as a surprise for my OH who was just complaining that he couldn't take his (100 ml) glass bottle of scent with him when we go to visit his mum!
thanks once again

Hi, has anyone tried the Allure type? and can anyone recommend others to me? am thinking of getting one of the special offers so need to pick 3 or 5 am not sure what to go for. I normally ware allure sensuelle, and amarige (which they don't do) I also used to like armani aqua. Any suggestions greatly recieved
Thanks0 -

I've just had my second delivery of 5 oil roll ons. I use http://www.fragrantica.com/designers/ in combination with the perfume oil site to get suggestions of perfumes I might like to try.
HTHPlease forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.0 -

i bought 5 bottles of so called smell a like oils. not one of the even came close to the original item. i know because i already own the originals. THEY ARE A CON THEY SMELL VULGAR. save your money and buy the genuine article . do not line the pockets of a con man who will promise you a scent for a couple of quid. AVOID IT IS A RIP OFF. :mad:0

As u can see if u read this rather long thread, most of us would strongly disagree with u. Its certainly not a con, and I get complimented regularly on how nice I smell when I'm using one of very many oils I've bought from Perfume Parlour. Its a shame u didn't like the oils u bought but calling Amir a con-man is really not fair.0
