What other perfumes would they like. DMIL wants perfume for Christmas but knows that DSIL's new boyfriend has bought her coco mademoiselle, which she loves.

I have a toddler, a very full on full time job, and don't really have the time to trawl the beauty halls, so am appealing for help.....pleeaase

Am happy to spend up to £60, btw

I like that. I also like Chanel Chance, most fragrances by Dior - eg Dolce Vita, Kenzo Flowers, Nina Ricci Premier Jour.

Chanel Chance or Premier Jour are my next favourites.

LisaMWill · 06/12/2013 13:48

I used to wear mademoiselle but have now changed to chanel allure. Both are lovely scents

SinisterSal · 06/12/2013 15:54

You could try CK Euphoria Blossom too, distinctive enough from Coco but still in the same area, IMO.

I hope you are my SIL

I like mademoiselle and also like Paco Rabbane Lady Million

DesperateHousewife21 · 06/12/2013 16:18

I like that its quite a sweet smell. I also love nina ricci and marc jacobs.

Feel unique had at least 15% off all fragrances at the mo. Maybe stick with the Chanel range :-)

Would you consider the lotion etc to match the perfume? I don't like other perfume than the one I wear.

RipMacWinkle · 07/12/2013 10:10

I was going to suggest same as Mrswellyboot

tweetytwat · 07/12/2013 14:07

I would gently disagree Smile I love perfumes and never use body lotion. My heart would sink if I got a body lotion as it would be such a waste.

tweetytwat · 07/12/2013 14:08

But the matching showergel/bath stuff would be a hit Grin . I do wash, just CBA with lotions after...

EmmelineP · 07/12/2013 14:11

Lola by mark Jacobs is lovely and I like coco mademoiselle too

ItsOkayItsJustMyBreath · 07/12/2013 14:12

Have you heard of the Lidl perfume, Suddenly Madame Glamour?

It is the exact replica of coco mademoiselle, I have it! The pro is that it's under a fiver, the downside is that it doesn't last as long as the real stuff.

Seriously, it was discussed on Women's Hour last week by a perfumier saying that it has the exact same smell.

ZenNudist · 07/12/2013 14:16

Chanel allure
J'adore Dior

SinisterSal · 07/12/2013 14:23

My mum must have been listening to that programme, it'sOk ! Dsis and DSil were peeking through mum's 'secret' present cupboard and found 3 bottles of it - one for each of us it seems. Lovely

(btw e're all mid thirties and not above sneaking around trying to guess our Christmas surprises Xmas Grin)

ClosedAuraOpenMind · 07/12/2013 18:42

thanks for those suggestions....I had thought of doing the shower gel/ body lotion in coco mademoiselle, but I think DMIL wants a different fragrance.

have an afternoon in town without DD coming up (my birthday treat....boozy lunch and shoppingWink) so will try and sniff some of those

Haha Sinister, please ignore the price then, you'll smell gorgeous!

rowingboat · 08/12/2013 22:06

I used to wear coco years ago and remember it as very heavy and spicy. I imagine mademoiselle is a lighter version.
Could you go classic and get her something like Guerlain: shalimar or samsara, both sweet and spicy? Opium, there is a light version of that and it pretty spicy?

LittleBabyPigsus · 08/12/2013 22:16

www.fragrantica.com/

Look up any perfume and in the sidebar, ones that other people that like your perfume also like come up. You can also search by note or fragrance family (eg oriental, floral etc). Extremely helpful.

MillyChristmas · 09/12/2013 00:20

I use Coco Mademoiselle, Coco and Chanel Number 5. Love them .

VenusDeWillendorf · 09/12/2013 00:35

I use the lidl one and I and my whole family prefer it to coco. At 3£ it's ALOT cheaper too.

I love perfumes and have fragrantica.com bookmarked also LittleBabyPigsus it's a great site.

Because of it I got my SIL a Lancôme fume as its in the same family as her other ones. (La vie est belle) Brilliant, as I normally never wander over to Lancôme, and it came with a lot of extra gifts, like a mascara etc which she'll love too.

MillyChristmas · 09/12/2013 01:09

Chloe is warm and lovely too as is the new Chloe Love.

LittleBabyPigsus · 09/12/2013 01:10

Rowingboat, Coco Mademoiselle is not much like Coco. It's quite a light sweet perfume in comparison and pretty citrussy - it's a bit more like JPG Classique but more modern-smelling.
