Got a sample of perfume and I am in LOVE. This one https://www.harveynichols.com/mizensir/ambre-magique-100ml-893018-84657/?source=shoppingads&gclid=CjwKCAjws9ipBhB1EiwAccEi1BHHazHuJs4-yqCIf18YiOiE6twshFZYH5uRCF6y0O8jBKgR6m4XxoCSfUQAvDD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

But .. £265!! I'd be unreasonable to even ask for this for Christmas would I!
Have any of you ever got any perfumes that high price? Do they last longer etc?

@CanIPetThatDawg Here are some photos, just in case they don't know what it is, always possible when dealing with franchise shops outside France.

@mermaidtails sorry for hijacking your thread 😊I can't buy Mizensir Ambre Magique over here (yet), but I simply love the Ambre scent, and having suffered with migraines my entire life (much better now in menopause), there are only a few perfumes I can't manage to wear.

@Startyabastard
The first fragrance my husband gifted to me. I love it. It is LOUD and recognisable, hence the name.

Notino have great offers usually on that one . Around 70£ give or take. They come in new bottles so you won’t find it in the original. There’s also EDT and EDP depending on your taste

Check out the price of the perfume I love. Neroli Eau de Parfum EDP 1.7 fl oz. It's been discontinued, so it's a rarity, but it's worth every penny.

You can still get Neroli & Orchidee which is really nice, I have the shower gel and body lotion and the EDT too.

@KimberleyClark Unfortunately I don't like it 🙁

I wear perfumes from Wilhelm Parfumerie that are a similar price point and think they are worth the money.

If you can afford it then you should treat yourself to it , if you are asking DP to buy it for you as a Christmas present ( I’m presuming this was your intention) then it’s better to have one wanted gift than something you will never use or like . I’m only suggesting this if it is affordable for DP . I love Sandal 33 and I do think it’s pricey but it’s my one indulgence . 😊

Perfume is antisocial and wearing it in public can do everything from making other people feel temporarily unwell to putting them in the hospital. It absolutely is not worth spending that much money on.

Tiny violin and money advice, what a rare treat.
