Had a spray of this yesterday & some of it went on my cardigan,i can still smell it & its bloody gorgeous.

It smells really clean & feminine,has anyone else bought it yet?

I didn't like, sorry. It's too sweet for me - reminds me of Angel / Lola (all Marc Jacobs in fact) / Agent Prov / Rock and Rose / Paul Smith Rose etc.

I try soooooo hard to like new perfumes but I find them all far too sweet and always go back to Channel No5 or 19. Or a tiny bit of Coco for evening. I quite like the new Balenciaga for day. Or the original Prada but even they smell 'funny' on me

But I get bored and would love some new ones!

Yes ! I have it. I smelt it early jan and it was on sale in selfridges (although on the quiet as apparently its was a harrods exclusive till a certain date Hmm). I was tempted to buy it then but held off..

Came home after spraying it while out and dh loved it..

I treated myself to a bottle last week Grin.
I love it. Better than I expected (as I find clothes designers purfumes just aren't always right...) bit pricy but worth it imo. Smile.

ifancyashandy... I dont find it smelt like the ones you suggested.. I hate all of those you said ! esp angel...

DoingTheBestICan · 05/02/2011 18:06

Angel smells like cat pee on me & i have to say i dont find it smells like the ones you listed.

I am going to buy this next week,i can still smell it on my wrist & i sprayed it over 24 hrs ago & have showered since.

It is funny how they smell so different on different people,Chanel doesnt suit me at all yet i love the smell of it on other people.

Im the same with chanel doingthebest, dh bought it for me a few years ago (No 5 I think) and its not me at all. I don't like their "younger" scents either.. chance etc.

Go for JC, you have tested it and still love it hours later so do it ! Grin

DoingTheBestICan · 05/02/2011 18:15

I bought J'Adore just before Christmas & i have gone off it now,i wouldnt mind but it was a 50ml bottle of EDP too, [oh well emoticon]

I am back in work next week after a week off so i will get a bottle then.

I agree with you re Chance too,have you smelt Stella Macartney,in the pale pink bottle,i think its called nude?

OP posts:
Shhhh · 05/02/2011 18:28

See, I tend to buy a small bottle to make sure I defo like it. I then use it as handbag size.

Stell,I do have one of her's... will check now what it is.Think it is nude...

DoingTheBestICan · 05/02/2011 18:31

I work in Boots so i have a spray of them all,i thought i liked the J'Adore but after smelling the JC i dont.

I like the Nude one but the smell doesnt last like the JC one.

I could always use the J'Adore as air freshener i suppose Grin

yes it is nude that I have. Again I bought a small size (in fact got it in a gift box in sale inc a candle..) I quite like it.

I also like narsico rodriguez and ghost (sweetheart and deep night) I do tend to go for vanilla and musky purfumes..

Shhhh · 05/02/2011 18:34

lol at using it as an airfreshener.. Esp if you like the smell I guess its a good idea !

Leave it thought for your posh guests Wink

DoingTheBestICan · 05/02/2011 18:41

Havent smelt the narsico rodriguez,i like the same sort of perfumes as you by the sounds of it.

I do like Gucci II as well.

not smelt that.. dior (in the lipstick shape blueish coloured bottle..).. I used to wear that. Its strong but I am fond of it..!

Yes, we do sound like we have similar taste.

DoingTheBestICan · 05/02/2011 18:45

I saw the blue dior in Sephora in NY & i remember they had lip gloss to go with it,it was blue with glitter in it,sounds yuck but it was lush.

OP posts:
Shhhh · 05/02/2011 18:47

DoingTheBestICan · 05/02/2011 18:57
