Perfume recommendation for my DM?

[whatthefoxsaid]

Hi
I think it's hard buying fragrances for other people but I have some details!
DM has asked for perfume for Christmas. I'm on a bit of a budget unfortunately (around £30 if poss). She asked for light/floral.
In the past she liked Rose (Paul Smith) but it was a risk! She's had gucci guilty but I think is ready for a change.
I'm planning to head to boots but would be good to go with some ideas?! I remember Lovely (SJP) being nice and quite 'safe' but looking for alternatives.

This blog is excellent she also has tips for different budgets. I've bought a few on her recommendations !

Personally I'd suggest Rosie from Marks and Spencers. It's a beautiful Rose scent. I have it and I love Paul Smith Rose. The 75ml gift set is half price just £15 just now so money left over !

Oh thanks very much! I need to nip into M&S so I'll see if there's a tester out! Will also have a good look at the blog- looks like there's a lot to be going on with on there!

Quick bump for the evening crowd before I hit the shops!

An oldie, but long lasting is Elizabeth Arden 5th Avenue. It has hints of Lilley of the Valley, with deeper undertones. Often on offer.

Thanks for replying Beebumble2 I went shopping today and asked the lady on the counter for help and the first thing she suggested was the EA you mention.
It was a bit heavy for my mum so I re-sniffed Lovely and it was as nice as I remembered so I went with that in the end. I hope she likes it!

Pleased I was some help. I’m sure she’ll love it.

Sarah Jessica Parker’s ‘lovely’ is a really nice, cheapish perfume. I am always asked what it is when I wear it.
It’s a nice powdery floral.

Haha. That will teach me to rtft
