    Hello I was wondering if someone could direct me to a sweet, spicy and floral perfume oil sold by anyone and also one sold by perfume Parlour, it would be preferable if the perfume oil was strong like Arab perfume oil. I would also like a recommendation for a rose, floral musky perfume oil.

    Thanks again to all those who contribute. Greatly appreciated!

    paco rabanne black xs is supposed to be sweet and spicy im wearing it today i dont get much spice from it tho but i guess it will smell different on someone elses skin perfume parlour version is called dolly. d&g rose the one is apparently a musky rose type perfume but i dont rate the perfume parlour version so prob best getting the original also did someone mention they wanted real musk? if so i saw awhile back that amir posted on a forum somewhere that he could get it but it is costly so it is probably worth asking him if your interested

    Thanks sarlouben. Is the perfume parlour version of d&g rose not at all like the original?

    I thought I would treat myself before the postage prices go up, :money:but not sure what to buy. Looking for a mixture, can anyone offer some suggestions :)
    TIA
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time

    Perfume Parlour offer free P&P. At least they did the last time I used them. They sent your package by recorded delivery.

    its free delivery for orders £10 and over you could also use the 10% off code if you give them a like on facebook as for which oils to buy maybe ask amir to send you some of their best selling oils

    If you are a Facebook follower you will already know this, but if you're not, Perfume Parlour are no longer going to sell single 12ml bottles due to the hike in postage costs, so if you want one, get it quick! :)

    Miss Dior Cherie has been reformulated several times since it was introduced in 2005. It is now nothing like the original :( but to answer your question, Linn Young Flirty is a copy of MDC, presumably of the original version like the PP one is.
