Perfume questions [+rep]

[Holofoil]

Hello, I'm looking for perfume for my girlfriend for christmas - I know she likes chanel + lacoste, but wants something different. So I took my nose on a trip to debenhams and went on a sniffing adventure, and I know the kind of stuff she wears generally, and I thought Armani diamonds would suit her, although it seemed a tad sweet.. because she mentioned that the Britney Spears fragrance was sickly sweet. So I tried that, and there were two there, one smelt like a candy shop and one was a lot less sweet but still sweet. I was wondering on the girls' opinions here on how sweet diamonds is.. I want to try get it right :P I have no spending limit btw.

I'm not very good with female perfumes. But if I was you, I would just stick to something you know she likes. Better than disappointment :)

Ghost is nice, so is Kate Moss.

[colourpot]

I agree with the people who have said ghost.

I have a few bottles of it myself tbh

Also diesel is really nice aswell.

Oh. And i tried on a perfume called "Chloe"

It matches what you said about the other perfumes, but it has its own smell and doesnt smell like all the other stuff.

Ok this is difficult. I'll try the suggested ones, thanks people. No more reps now, unless v helpful btw :P

If your girlfriend doesnt like anything too sweet then I suggest CK one for men, my mum wears it and smells very nice. Maybe try another sweetish mans fragrance.

if she likes them she will love Black XS

[RyanDOT]

Ask your mum, that's what i do.

Try either Vera Wangs Princess or Angel by Thierry Mugler both are gorgeous IMo

[dirrty]

jean paul gaultier is the 1 shaped as a body.
av a sniff of dat, smells well nice

I think she would really love Flame by BK

Definitely do not get diesel in my opinion. It's really cheap and in work the other day I overheard a few girls actually mocking someones boyfriend for buying it. lol

I know it's shallow and all, but when I get an aftershave I'd rather get a nice more expensive one rather than something at a tenner...

Unfortunately with perfumes it really is individual, as what you might find beautiful someone else can hate.

If you want sweet but not overly - without being biased here I honestly, honestly would recommend Christina Aguilera's. They are very well reasonably priced and starrt from just £18 and you can even get it in a wee set with a gift bag and body lotion.

She has her older one but also the new one Inspire. Both are very nice and are nice and sweet perfumes but just to a nice degree.

Both my mum and girlfriend love them and I have honestly bought them for loads of people lol. This isn't just cause I love christina, lol, if I thought her perfume sucked then I wouldn't buy it.

My mum is someone who doesn't really like overly sweet perfumes and she definitely loved Christina anyway.

You can give them a smell and see wat u think :p

I'm not really sure what to recommend since I personally wear perfumes that are pretty citrus-y, so I'd definitely say ask the sale person.. especially if its at a specialty perfume shop or something. I live in the US and there's a specialty shop in my mall that sells mostly foreign perfumes (so that you can buy something that everyone doesn't already have - ie get something unique that'll make people think of you if they ever smell it again) and the saleswomen there is REALLY helpful. I went there to get my boyfriend cologne as a gift, as well as when I was picking out perfume for myself, and both times I only had to list a general sort of smell I liked/give an example of what I used to wear, and they led me straight to a couple different scents that I loved.

By the way, when you're picking out something for your gf, make sure it's a smell you like too! It sucks to date someone who smells strongly of something you don't particulaly like, haha..




... Er wow, my bad. I didn't notice this thread was for a christmas gift and now it's past christmas.. sorry!!
