Recommend me a nice perfume for MIL

She likes 'nice' perfumes. Light floral I would say, nothing too strong or sweet, also not too fresh / lemony.

Any suggestions? Up to ~£80

Thanks!

How about Armani diamonds, nice and fresh, not too strong

LaCerbiatta · 15/09/2022 20:54

Thanks all! Should have said it's being delivered in Portugal, not sure if Jo Malone would be easily available there. English pear and fresia would be perfect! I'll have a look at the others 🙂

Acqua di Parma Lily of the Valley is lovely, fresh and light, and I also like Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet.

Gucci Flora in gardenia or jasmine.

L'eau d'Issay is lovely

LaCerbiatta · 15/09/2022 21:01

Thank you! Turns out you can have jo malone delivered in Portugal! May go with that as at least it's something she wouldn't find herself. Thanks for all the suggestions though 🙂

Lancôme - La Vie est Belle

I’ve just discovered and love Givenchy L’Interdit Millesime . It has nocturnal jasmine notes and I’ve not come across anything quite like it. It’s a limited edition. I’ve bought a back up for when they discontinue it. I don’t like jasmine but this is beautiful (imo). I got it from Boots £67 I think it was) but just bought some on Scentstore for £62. It’s flowery but not overtly floral and it’s clean without being fruity or fresh somehow. V hard to describe. It was just different enough from the original L’Interdit to make me decide to get this one.

Thanks all! Ordered the Jo Malone, but will make note of these recommendations. Actually, quite intrigued to try the Givenchy one for myself! :-)
