It's time for another

What perfume do you wear?

At the moment i'm using Estee Lauder Modern Muse and Estee Lauder Beautiful.

Armani perfumes are gorgeous Freddie. Quite elegant and a bit different to the other "houses".

about ten years ago, I was given a sample of She when hurrying through Myer. On me, it was like a subtle, hot chocolate, with a dash of espresso and a hint of bittersweet orange.

actually, unforgettable 🙂 

I finished the sample and did not buy any, as I had much in the perfume department already, my then favourite being Dolce Vita.

last year I thought...what was that Armani scent...and it is still made, and still the same. I fell in love with it all over again.

I will keep She in mind Amber.

No one has mentioned Eternity? I love it , its been my fave for a few years now. I can't do the heady strong stuff anymore.
And that is what is wrapped in my present on the photo thread. P for perfume.

Pimpy, type violet into the include notes search box, then pick the flower or one of the other options, but the flower is probably the one 🙂

brings up heaps of perfumes.

Spoiler

Perfumes contain alcohol. It is now after five, so it's time for another cocktail, too 🙂

But how can this website pretend to be selling legit? My perfume has been out of production for at least 10 years. Givenchy no longer sell it.

Yet it shows up here.

The perfumes it links to are fake.

With some of them, I think it is the fragrance they put in that I react to. So a low-scented one is promising 🙂

Amber - my daughter has a reaction to sunscreens. Not sure what reaction you get but for her they burn her skin within seconds. Even the ones without scent or the ones made for sensitive/baby skin affect her.

Our Gp suggested pure zinc and this is fine.

That's the one Freddie. My bottle is 50ml though and I paid more than $40.
I like the sweet smell of Eternity. Makes me think of freesias, my absolute favourite scent.

I'd like to try that She perfume.  I love orange chocolate and I think I would quite like to smell like a Darrell Lea orange chocolate ball.  

[amber-eyed-girl]

I love orange chocolate too, and a strong coffee 🙂

All I have seen is that it links to sites like eBay and Amaz... (Not sure if I can say it here)

I look at fragrantica for exactly the reasons I put it in here, to read reviews, and to see if there are similar scents to those I already like, or have been discontinued.

Discontinued scents are available from many websites, usually at a huge price increase, as people will pay top money for something they love but has ended.

does not mean it is a fake, necessarily.

I have bought genuine scents which had been discontinued for years, the more expensive ones if stored well will keep unopened.

a risk with very old ones, is that they have not been stored well and will not be all that nice anymore. Like buying wine with a few years on it.
