    Hi, I have requested Tom Ford Neroli Portofino which is a really lovely summer scent. Amir has said that if he gets enough requests for this scent he will source it so if anyone is interested please let him know. Thanks!

    I'm going for the Miss Dior Cherie smell-alike. It's a fragrance I've recently discovered and didn't want to shell out for the EDP. I've also ordered the Ghost and Armani Code ones as I often wear the originals anyway so they'll be handy to take away on honeymoon

    I love this site. I like being able to have more than one perfume on the go. I'd never be able to afford the real thing.

    I have bought:-

    Narciso Rodriguez - love this
    Romance - this too
    Be Delicious
    Acqua di Gio

    Sicily - this gave me a headache but that might just be me
    Flowerbomb - tried it after reading about it, far too sickly for me though.

    I have noticed that my skin reacts quite badly to it, after a few days. This again might just be me as I've had this happen with 'real' perfumes too.

    It's not going to stop me buying them though! The choice and accuracy of the scent is amazing :)

    Excellent choices. I absolutely love PP's Miss Dior Cherie. It is my absolute fave. I have never had the original though. Far too expensive.

    I am very fond of Ghost too. Not familiar with Armani Code but I may have to try the oil of that. We clearly have similar tastes.

    Have a wonderful day and honeymoon.

    Dior have recently reformulated Miss Dior Cherie (2010 with Natalie Portman in the ads) and the new version is not as nice as the old version, so I'm glad we can get this oil as the 2005 version of MDC is no longer available at Dior counters :(

    I ordered this evening too, and have had an "Order Acknowledgement" email. It came through a couple of minutes after I ordered. I've also got my Paypal receipt email.

    thanks
