There's a free offer on where if you buy their skincare system you get a free perfume worth £54.

Obviously I can't get to the shops to test out the fragrances so need some help!

I love very strong, signature scents like Angel, La Vie est Belle, Alien and, since having Covid, my sense of smell is definitely not back to normal so a strong smelling perfume is needed!
Thanks in advance.

I used to wear her No 1., and I used to wear Alien!

GrimDamnFanjo · 10/02/2021 09:25

No 15 - I have it - spicy with bergamot, patchouli, sandalwood - look them up on Fragrantica for user views.

lookdeepintotheparka · 10/02/2021 09:33

No 15 is the stand out LE fragrance for me. It's spicy and autumnal.

No 9 and 100 are more floral - pleasant but personally I find them a bit meh!

No 1 I think is quite spa-like and nice as a summer fragrance.

Agree Fragrantica is helpful for reviews whilst we can't sniff in store!

PLAYJAJADINGDONG · 10/02/2021 09:41

You need No.15!

It's spicy, aromatic, woody and cosy (without being in any way sweet or sickly). It's also incredibly potent. Loads of pink pepper which makes it lean unisex rather than for her.

BigusBumus · 10/02/2021 09:41

Please can you link to the offer? Sounds like I'd quite like 15 and could do with some new skincare stuff.

BaconAndAvocado · 10/02/2021 09:55

bigusbumus
When DS2 is on his break I'll ask him to link it as I have no tech skills to speak of.

I saw their offer on an email sent this morning.

Hmm sounds like No 15 is the one for me.
Not sure about the unisex element??
I would say that Angel and La Vie est Belle are both quite feminine?
I guess Alien isn't as feminine.

When I've tried Jo Malone unisex fragrances I haven't liked them very much.

Will have a gander at Fragrantica.

PLAYJAJADINGDONG · 10/02/2021 10:06

No it's not properly unisex, it would definitely smell better on a woman than a man, I was just trying to get across that it isn't sickly sweet. I can't bear sweet perfumes.

For context, I adore Alien but hate Angel. I think La Vie Est Belle is a really boring and generic fruitchouli which is far too sweet. So I don't know if you'd like No.15 or not!

Not much help am I?!

BaconAndAvocado · 10/02/2021 10:36

PLAYJA you're being very helpful although I completely disagree with you re La Vie est Belle Grin

I think I might bite the bullet and order No15.
I just hope I can smell it, bloody Covid!

BigusBumus · 10/02/2021 10:43

It's OK @BaconAndAvocado I found it!

BaconAndAvocado · 10/02/2021 10:52

BigusBumus well done!
I think it's a good offer although I don't think I've ever used a toner.
Love the Cleanse and Polish and would like to try the moisturiser. Going to choose the rich one which I guess is right for 51 yo skin.

Bluesheep8 · 10/02/2021 13:36

Definitely no 15 op

RogetCrochet · 10/02/2021 13:41

15 all the wayOP. I love Alien and Angel. But I like a variety of scents and cannot afford to use expensive perfumes all the time. LE No15 is a good spicy pefume with long lasting power on me.

BaconAndAvocado · 10/02/2021 16:18

Just ordered it all.
Something to look forward to 😊

OP posts:
lookdeepintotheparka · 10/02/2021 19:16

I just ordered the set too off the back of this thread! A bargain for all the skincare (DD uses LE stuff) and always good to have a spare bottle of No 15 - it is really lovely.

Hope you enjoy it too OP Grin

hollyhope · 10/02/2021 19:39

Came on to say No 15: it's a lovely, spicy fragrance.
Hope you like it, OP.

Stressmess · 10/02/2021 19:55

I have literally ordered this set this afternoon, a treat to myself! There was a quiz of 7 questions and I was mostly B's so I ordered No.20. I had Angel before and found it was too strong for me. I am looking forward to it arriving!

BaconAndAvocado · 13/02/2021 11:51

My LE parcel arrived this morning.

Thanks for the advice everyone about the perfume.

You were right, I love No. 15, it’s perfect for me.

And once my sense of smell has completely returned, I’ll love it even more.

OP posts:
PLAYJAJADINGDONG · 13/02/2021 11:53

Yay 😆

Glad you're happy with your haul Bacon!

udnertheradar · 13/02/2021 13:33

I just ordered it too with no 15! Thanks for the heads up!

NutsaboutFruit · 13/02/2021 15:13

No 15 is indeed gorgeous, and as an added bonus it is cruelty free – as I believe all LE products are.
