Sam Faiers apparently has the best-selling fragrance of the year...

[HowAboutNo]

Am I missing out on some gorgeous fragrances by not ever choosing celebrity perfumes? It's just never occurred to me to buy them.

Any recommendations?

SJP's Lovely is an old favourite of mine. Total guilty secret.

Ooh yes! Also a secret SJP Lovely fan. It does smell "lovely", always the first word to spring to mind when I smell it.

Lovely is the one I wear the most.

Apparently the Sam Faiers one is very similar to Prada Candy.

I used to wear the Britney Spears Curious perfume - it was very nice.

I wear Lovely and still wear JLO Glow, I love it.

I give DDs friend a lift to school and she always smells really nice, it was a Britney Spears perfume she wore.

Intrigued by all the great feedback on here and on the net for Lovely... Where can you buy it?

Another SJP Lovely fan here. Usually on offer, great silage, gets compliments, feels fresh and feminine.

Never seen the Sam Faiers one.

Howabout Superdrug and Bodycare usually have Lovely.

I wear SJP's Covet and Mary Greenwells lemon - get loads of compliments about both

I like all of the SJP ones. I received a mini set of them for Mothers Day, ace present.

Another Lovely fan here!

I asked a girl in line at a coffee shop, years ago, what she was wearing. She practically whispered 'Sarah Jessica Parker, "Lovely"' So I hunted it down and now it's my cheapie fave.

Yup, JLo Glow (the original one) is great - it smells really ^clean6.
I often recommend it on here when someone say they don't want a perfume-perfume, they just want a clean-smelling scent. Someone usually snarks.

Yes, I lower my voice a bit too whenever someone asks me what perfume I'm wearing. It's as though wearing a celeb perfume is as shocking as admitting you're a big Gary Glitter fan.

NB Sam Faiers 'La Bella' is the best-selling sleb perfume 0f 2014 in The Fragrance Shop - not of all scents, and not everywhere.

There is definitely probably some demographic stuff at play there - ie the typical Fragrance Shop shopper is more likely than a Boots shopper to watch TOWIE...

Have never heard of Sam Faiers in my life, BTW; just googled her then. Can someone please tell me what TOWIE means/stands for, while I"m at it?

The Only Way Is Essex, a British reality TV show.

Consider yourself lucky you've never heard if it!

Ooh, thanks squoosh. Sounds...classy?

According to the Perfume Guide the first Juicy Couture fragrance punches well above its weight.

Still won't buy them as detest that packaging. And the terrycloth trackpants.

Oh the Fragrance Shop. Where the Orange God goes to promote his parfum.

Classy.

Yes Koala trés classy!

I bet Victoria Beckham is annoyed that her and David's perfume line is seen as quite cheap and tacky. If she'd released it after she'd become a fashion A Lister it would be considered much more desirable.

But I suppose, who knew she would become such a big hitter in the fashion world.

The Coleen Rooney one which smells of parma violets is kind of ok too. My teenage students wear it and it's not unpleasant.

Ahhh yep I missed that, it is the fragrance shop or whatever. Makes much more sense.

Love JLo Glow - some of my friends hate it but I have loved it since it came out when I was in school gives age away but that's the only one I've ever had.

Going on an online hunt for SJP fragrances now

I've just text my friend who works for Boots and she said they stopped stocking Lovely ages ago even though it sold well. Strange!

You can buy it quite cheaply on Amazon.
