You know what, I just wore the Me Too (Joop Clone) and though I love the smell it doesn't come close in terms of projection to the sillage monster that is Joop
It is still worth £4 though
I have also bought Pure Gold (1 Million) and Success (Issie Mayake).
If I like them thn it will be Aromi De jean (Acqua Di Gio), The Man Silver(YSL Kourous) and Spirit of Heaven (A* Men)
I don't have any of these so will not know how spot on they are so i just read the designer reviews and adjust my expectations accordingly0 -
anyone ever mixed the perfume parlour oils with body lotion? how would you get the oil out of the 3ml roll ons? or would I have to buy a bigger size?0
-
Three mil should be plenty to scent a fair bit of body lotion: they are very strong. I've never tried it but I expect it should be quite easy to lever off the plastic roll-on on the top of the bottle.0

Ordered from the PP for the first time today.
The site is a bit of a pig to navigate and I got really confused regarding the payment screen so I ended up doing a direct transfer. I have emailed with the order details and hope they can tie the two up. In PP’s defence I order very little online so it maybe me rather than them
I will admit to sticking to the same old thing perfume wise as I am known to change the smell (due to skin oils I was told) For example I loved Allure purchased it (as present to myself with some birthday money) and then found it transformed in to a nasty cat pee fragrance on my skin. Had to give it away.. I was gutted.
So rather than just buying my favourite and much loved Dolce vita..... You guys have been raving about flower bomb.. So I bought that too. And French lime flower, why not at the cost of the small trial sizes! *grin*
I am very excited now as its been ages since I have had perfume never mind a few (it’s not very MSE and when you are on a budget luxuries fall by the way side)
Once it’s arrived I will come back and review.Please note I have a cognitive disability - as such my wording can be a bit off, muddled, misspelt or in some cases i can miss out some words totally...0 -

-
Not sure whats going on with the site at the moment they obviously have not paid a bill. Hope they sort it out as i have an order placed but did it through paypal so can probs sort it out if there is a problem. Will be checking things over the next day or 2 before i act

I saw that too.
They said acc info was safe but that someone hacked the email and was sending spam.0 -
Success and Pure Gold both smell great
Think I'll collect all of them now0 -
Has anyone here tried diluting the oils in alcohol so they can be used in a spritzer perfume bottle?0
