My sisters birthday is next week and she has said she would love a nice perfume but doesn't know which one. I am needing to order online as I won't be able to get to the shops in time. Can anybody recomemnd one for me? I am a bit clueless when it comes to stuff like this so would be really grateful of the help!

I love spellbound, you can only get it online though (such as ebay) cos its been discontinued.

I really like Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker, it's quite light and smells really nice imo. It also comes in a pretty pink package and bottle- not too pink, just enough. Mind you I am big SATC fan so that maybe has influenced me

My other fav is Clinique Happy but that's a bit more expensive, around £40. Lovely is around £20-25.

dolce&gabanna light blue smeels really nice

JennyPenny22 · 07/07/2009 17:22

Price isn't tooo much of an issue (although obviously don't want something worth hundrends!)

Dh bought me the Diesel Fuel for Life for my birthday and it is very nice...

AnyFucker · 07/07/2009 19:50

CKOne Summer is light and fruity and err, summery

PestoMonster · 07/07/2009 19:50

Chanel's 'Chance' is lovely

as is

'Ghost'

ThePhantomPlopper · 07/07/2009 19:53

Chanel Chance.

PestoMonster · 07/07/2009 19:57

I just said that, Phantom!!!!

janeite · 07/07/2009 19:59

Kenzo Flower - parma violety and lovely but probably too sweet for some tastes

Philosophy Pure Grace - new born babies and clean sheets!

Clinique Happy is nice, as Rachie says, but I'm struggling to remember quite what it smells like.

Daisy is nice too - forget who it's by.

D&G Light Blue is a very good one, citrusy but light and my favourite evening perfume is givenchy Ange ou Demon. Very sultry and sex.

blowninonabreeze · 07/07/2009 20:02

I love this and thank you for asking this question as I've just realised its been discontinued. Have bought a few!

ThePhantomPlopper · 07/07/2009 20:06

We must have good taste Pesto .

Buying perfume for another person is really hard! Can you not get her to give you a few hints, they tend to smell differently on different people. For example I think SJP lovely smells like wee, but RachieW loves it.

othersideofthefence · 07/07/2009 20:11

Jo Malone Lime Basil & Mandarin is a lovely summery scent.
I also love the Jo Malone Lavendar and Amber

bebesequin · 07/07/2009 20:11

Daisy by Marc Jacobs is lovely for a summer perfume-

Lastyearsmodel · 07/07/2009 20:13

Another vote for Daisy here.

Jo Malone do samples if you ring them up - Lime Basil and Mandarin is gorgeous - maybe get her some samples and gift vouchers?

AnyFucker · 07/07/2009 20:22

Jo Malone is lovely (any variety, tbh)

but many ££££££££

Chanel No. 19 - gentle, fresh and really elegant understated scent.

kalo12 · 07/07/2009 20:59

prada - milano - light and fresh so suits most people, sexy and sophisticated, posh,understated, good looking packaging, suits me down to the ground

Jewelsandgems · 07/07/2009 21:50

Coco Madesmoiselle

macherie · 07/07/2009 22:12

I love Coco Mademoiselle too, It's one of the few prefumes that doesn't make me feel nauseous!

(Jewels I'm NOT stalking you, honestly)

JennyPenny22 · 08/07/2009 01:01
