I went into Debenhams hoping to smell the new Mugler limited edition.. no can do.. had a sniff of Prada Iris infusions.. fell in love! Heavenly! Spent loads of money that I don't have on a bottle. Life's too short I guess.

Its not your fault.
I have the same issue with that perfume.
Prada is being irresponsable, not you or me.

Enjoy Grin

Hahaha enjoy it :)

Oh bugger. I was in Debenhams earlier. I wish I'd tried that one now Sad

Prada Infusions Iris. It's divine.

Ooh, that's one of my top 3 favourites, especially in the summer. Definitely a VERY responsible purchase! 😁

visitorthedog · 03/05/2019 16:17

Ah the Iris one, I like it too, I have the Amande one and love that as well.

XingMing · 03/05/2019 17:11

It's a classic, so definitely NOT unreasonable behaviour.

Good reviews for the dupe at Perfume Parlour. I generally find PP very good.

Oh god I'm now on Perfume Parlour doing the 'ooooh I'll try that it's only £3.50' thing where I will then spend £30 on stuff I don't really need....

CountFosco · 03/05/2019 18:18

Johnny Loulou has it reduced at the moment not enabling at all.

MarkleSparkle · 03/05/2019 18:21

I love it too and I’m quite fussy with perfume - definitely a good decision!

HollowTalk · 03/05/2019 18:22

How much was it?

HollowTalk · 03/05/2019 18:23

I daren't Google it in case I inadvertently buy it!

RosaWaiting · 03/05/2019 18:25

I'm ashamed to say it was £65 for 50 ml (that's with 15% off (ends Monday) at Debenhams. I have NEVER paid (or asked someone else to pay) so much for perfume! Madness!

The Perfume Parlour dupe is really good too, so when you use the last dregs you can keep the same smell for the price of a fish supper.

user1494055864 · 03/05/2019 22:36

Wear it every day and enjoy it. Lifes too short not to!

CountFosco · 04/05/2019 07:38

I think even the most expensive perfume is quite good value at cost per wear. The average item of clothing is only worn 7 times! Bet you wear your new perfume more than that and you'll easily get 50+ wears out of your full bottle.

JMAngel1 · 04/05/2019 07:59

No regrets - that is a stunning fragrance - I wore it on my wedding day.

Does anyone find it doesn't last long on them or project far? I sprayed loads on this morning and husband couldn't smell it..and it's barely noticeable on my skin now. Still adore it mind, but would like others to have a gentle sniff of it too.
