perfume
 
right girls and boys (yes boys aswell, I wanna know what perfume you like on a lady)

I have today gone out to price up my favourite perfume Chanel No 5 and low and behold I couldn't find it anywhere in the shopping centre. My first question is does anyone know where I can get it in the Rockingham-Mandurah area and secondly what would you suggest I buy for a change. I'm not that clued up with perfume smells but I definately do not like Anais Anais type fragrances. By the way any strength of Chanel No 5 will do.
Thanks for reading

My favourite of the moment is Tresor by Lancome. I also have a nice one by Burberry (no chav comments please ;) ). Just go and have a smell of a few and see what you fancy.

I did try that NB but after smelling a few they all smelt so strong and I find it difficult then to try and distinguish between them. I think I'll have to smell a couple at a time b4 I make my mind up. (alternatively I'll ask women who walk past me what they're wearing if I like it:thumbsup:)

Oh that's one is gorgeous, one of my all time favourites:).

I got Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle least year and it's fab.

There's a lovely Clarins perfume too called Sunshine which is a great everyday smell.

I used to wear Coco but after I had the kids I couldn't wear any perfume - I just felt violently sick all the time. A few years ago I found Elizabeth Arden Green Tea and I love it to death. It's the only one I can wear without getting a headache and I get so many lovely comments about my smell :blink:

The only problem with asking people what they are wearing is that it will probably smell completely different on you - different body etc. My sister borrowed mine one evening and it wasn't good on her :D

I like Gucci rush 2. But i find it hard to get here so i brought some back with me from UK.
Kylie Minogue purfume is nice too.

I don't like strong smells like Poison or Anais Anais either. Remember Lou Lou??? errrr it was horrid!

I used to wear Tresor. You might also like Casmir, produced by Chopard.

I buy my perfume on ebay these days - usually about half the store price. I pretty much exclusively use Joy by Jean Patou which costs an arm and a leg in DJs. I have always had the real stuff from ebay and very good value.

My mum has been wearing that since the 1960s. It used to be the most expensive perfume on the market.

I think it probably still is judging by the burning sensation in my credit card when I buy it!!!
