I would like to buy perfume for my friend for her birthday.
She had always worn Dolce & Gabbana- the original woman's fragrance- it didn't have a specific name when it came out, was just called Dolce and Gabbana for women.
It has been discontinued.
The sales lady showed us Dolce and Gabanna 'Red' which she said was the closest but it isn't close at all and my friend thought it was horrible-
So I'm after recommendations for things she might like.
I have found this bit of blurb on it but don't know how accurate it is:
"This classical, intensive, feminine aroma belongs to the group of aldehyde-floral fragrances. D&G is the first fragrance of Dolce&Gabanna. The composition is based on contrasts: sweet and bitter, feminine and masculine. The top notes are aromatic-citrusy and include mandarin, bergamot, basil and aldehydes ? a rather strong opening. The heart is feminine floral created of jasmine, floral-spicy carnation, sweet orange blossom and lily. Silky sandal wood in the base is complemented with the sweet and balsamic notes of vanilla, Tonka and musk. This fragrance is recommended for evening wear and special occasions. It was created in 1992."
The website this came from had a discussion about how their are fake copies of the original for sale on ebay and they are to be avoided, so I don't want to go down that route.
Can anyone offer any suggestions for a new fragrance for her?
It is her birthday in 4 weeks! Thanks
