Ohhhhhhh no!

I only wear No5 and it costs a fortune!

All the Chanel smell-alikes seem to have disappeared.:(

And Vera Wang...

The list isn't complete yet, so don't panic. I noticed that Chanel, Wang and CK are all missing from the list but I emailed and asked and they were still available at that time. I'd suggest emailing them to check. HTH

Hi all, ordered a bunch of 3ml oils from PP on Sunday night based on reviews I read here and received my order today, here are my very inital impressions from quickly trying them all out on my arms!

Kenzo Flower - perfect match
Flowerbomb - close match
Gucci Rush - perfect match
Gucci by Gucci - I've not worn this myself before but smells exactly like someone close to me who does wear it
White Diamonds - bought this for my mum, it's sort of similar but not very nice, too soapy
--

I also bought two more which I've never worn and bought just to try:
Miss Dior
Angel

I don't like either of these. That's not to say they're not a good match - they may well be. I just don't like them; I like sweet floaral perfumes and unfortunately neither of these are. If anyone likes these perfumes and would like them from me I'll happily send you them because I won't use them. Feel free to post here or send me a message if you'd like them (don't worry about postage, the bottles are wee and won't cost much for me to send

Overall I'm very very impressed and will definitely order more. Out of all 5 fragrances that I'm familiar with I think only White Diamonds isn't a good match (can't comment on the other 2, Miss Dior and Angel because I don't know what they smell like). I'll post again once I've properly worn each perfume for a day or two each to see what they're like once they settle in.

I've got some PP oils to pass on /swap too...

I have 3ml bottles of Rose The One and Flower Bomb that I have tried once and don't like enough to use.

I'm far more into the generic (or "unisex" or "non-designer") scents, if anyone wants to swap - especially Rose Petals.

Alternatively, like icearrows said, they are very small and cheap to send so if no-one wants to swap I'm happy to post them free to anyone that would use them.

10 April 2011 - these have now been swapped.

I am very happy to hear that Ghost is coming back into stock. I was worried that it had been discontinued. It is one of my favourites from PP.

I love my perfumes and will be trying some of these out but would like a few opinions to see if anyone has tried them.

i like quite strong smelling perfumes so things like Angel (my fave) Jean Paul Gaultier, Poeme, Baby doll and Brittany spears although i don't think i've seen that one on there, has anyone tried any of these ones listed and what did you think.

Thanks

The only one of the above that I have is Angel which is quite strong at first, too strong for my liking but given an hour its fine, it settles down and smells just right. But u really do only need a tiny bit.

There are 3 Britney frags on the list, Fantasy, Curious and Midnight Fantasy.

I ordered more oils yesterday morning and they arrived today. Fantastic service, I really can't fault PP.

what did you order sofababe? i love to hear what people think of the fragrances, as i dont even get to try the real things unless i am in duty free, and then you try too many to remember if any are good. (well at least i do).

I've been very naughty this week, I've had 2 orders. Each time 5 oils

So my new ones this week are:

Armani Night
SJP Lovely
Burberry Beat
Ricci Ricci
CK Escape
D&G The One
Cartier Baiser du Dragon
Kenzo Indigo
L'Instant de Guerlain
Angel Innocent

They are all lovely, and those ones that I am familiar with are all spot on. I now have 29 in use, as well as 28 genuine perfumes of varying sizes :eek: I know, I have a problem :rotfl:
