I had a sniff yesterday of the Burberry 'her' perfume and I was instantly transported back 20 years to another perfume. The perfume itself is very sweet and powdery. I'm guessing it has violet in it (as I love anything violet)

Does anyone know what it reminds me of? I recall a pink bottle, possibly rounded but with little squares on it?!
Guessing early to mid 2000's. It wouldn't have been high end
Very sweet very young. Its driving me bonkers! Any help gratefully accepted 😊

YSL Paris?

Jimmy Choo?

Sounds like YSL Paris especially the bottle.

I caught a whiff of something similar while shopping recently and was taken back in time too.

Thank you 😊. I think it could well have been YSL Paris. The bottle looks wrong though (but my memory is rubbish!). It also has notes of violet so could well be. Brilliant. Thank you.
So straight how it lit a million forgotten memories. Mignt treat myself to the perfume parlour version 🙂

YSL parisian. I had it. It had violets in. Kate Moss was the face of it.

I saw that one and thought it could be. I'm thinking it was further back than this one was released. Thank you.

No, thats not it. Used to have another Nina Ricci one though that I loved. Another blast from the past.

Could it be Signature for her by Victoria Beckham? Was my absolute favourite perfume, but is discontinued now.

Oops sorry, was saying my replies weren't posting!

harriettenightingale · 12/01/2023 10:22

Pp suggested Jimmy Choo, I have one in a bottle similar to your description, could that be right? Not sure which one and not at home to check.

SendARavenToRiverRun · 12/01/2023 10:33

Lol at the Victoria Beckham messages 🙂. No, I think it was a fashion house type brand. My head says it would have been mid range not massively expensive.
Will check out the Jimmy choo. Thanks for all the suggestions!
