sorry

Where can I find Fairytales by Lulu Guinness??

 

[andersson]

Did anyone try Dior's Escale á Pondichery yet?

 

[Trista]

Okay the new Michael Kors perfume-Very Hollywood-is horrid. It's a great scent, but with absolutely zero lasting power. I spritzed some on two hours ago on my wrist and an hour later, it was gone. Kaput.

^oh, that's bad. Everytime when I see the ad, I want to try it. I don't know, some reason all perfumes which I have tried lately are so boring. I wanna something special and everything smells like just some other. On the other hand, I have found many flower which I really don't wanna smell. So maybe I'll be picker, which is good, I guess.

I mean, who knows, I may have spritzed wrong, but I certainly hope it's not replacing the Island series...I love my Island Bermuda.

Did anyone try Dior's Escale á Pondichery yet?

Yes, i found its more subtle than portofino. Nice one.

 

[LifeNatureLove]

So what do you guys think of D&G "neither male or female specific" line? I can't decide if I like them. . .too many to try at one time.
Also, thoughts on Marc Jacobs Lolia? I bought Miss Dior for the bottle, ended up hating the scent (too sweet). I don't want to fall into that trap again. . .

has anyone bought from fragrance.net? raves/rants? I bought Obsession Night for women there, but I'd never smelled it before (bought it cos I loved the mens version on my bf), so I dont know what its supposed to smell like. It LOOKS real, and smells real. I'd like to buy some Gucci Rush 2 and Givenchy Hot Coutoure there, but just want some more opinions before I shop. Thoughts?

I have same problem then.. some bottles are way better looking than perfume. I actually would like to have other Miss Dior Cherie bottle, I have taller version.. love this. Or maybe I just should buy some other version, I don't like original much.

I didn't like Lolita.. it reminded me little bit Flowerbomb (which is not good thing, for me.. I hated that. Other hand, I loved the bottle of Flowerbomb but not Lolita's. I would like to love it, Daisy was adorable. I bought it mini version and big bottle.. it was irresistible

Christian Lacroix Absynthe For Him

So, this is just the firs look at the bottle:


EDT, 75 ml

Had a sniff at both the men's and the women's Absynthe in Mum's Avon catalogue (just scented pages, not actual samples) and quite like them both. I prefer the men's one - it's like being in a forest after it has rained. Woody, herby, green sort of scent

I just bought Le Labo Labdanum 18 and although I love it, it is a tad sweeter than I can remember it, can anyone recommend a dark woody scent I could perhaps mix it with?

 

[Lea1975]

I am currently wearing various scents from the CLEAN line. Their amazing, right now Warm Cotton in my favourite.

I'm dying to test the new Balenciaga Paris scent...

 

[Annu]

I have tested new perfumes lately and been kind of disappointed. I guess I have read too much from ads, for example V&R Eau Mega didn't smell how it supposed.. come on, ad is full of gold and something huge. And it was very lame, little pear juice. Ok, I know I should read description but why even do those ads.. they always make my wanna try and expect too much.

 

[Betty_B]

Does anyone think that there is big simalarity in the scents of Flowerbomb by V&R and Black XS by Paco Rabanne?

 

[Diedejan]

THere will be a new Hermes mens perfume for next year, but I don't know the name... Anyone heared yet?

 

[Crying Diamonds]

^ Next years Christmas present is sorted.
Cannot wait to test that.

 

[Betty_B]

Can anyone recomend scents in the type of "Hypnose" by Lancome, Armani code, flowerbomb by V&R etc ?
