I want a new perfume - please help!

I have used Lacoste Touch of Pink for ages but have just finished my bottle and fancy a change.

Any ideas on perfumes that are similar (I don't want to go to Boots and smell every perfume )

I smelt the new Guerlain Idylle yesterday and promptly gave myself a generous spritz. It's very floral and reminds me of freesias.

As you like Lacoste Touch of Pink you'd probably like the new Hugo Boss Orange for women. It's a fruity floral and I think it's smells pretty. I always think Touch of Pink is a pretty smell too.

I have some of the Hugo Boss Orange and it is lovely - and DH just bought me Marc Jacob Daisy which is lovely and light for every day use.

I really like the Boss Orange too Meep. Bought it recently for a friend for her birthday and started to absentmindedly opening the clear wrapping for myself!

It's firmly on my Christmas list.

Oops. Superfluous "to" there.

New mantra... Must preview post. Must preview post.

My favourites are
Marc Jacobs -Daisy
Jo-Lo Glow (and yet I'm not a huge fan of any other of her perfumes)
and Ralph Lauren Notorious

DH also bought me Yves St Laurent "Elle" which is lovely

Thanks for the ideas - it has certainly given me some focus when I go to Boots

I think I might have had J-Lo Glow in the past (have certainly had one of hers anyway).

I think I am after a 'pretty' smell tbh.

Chamade by Guerlain is wonderful- bought a new bottle yesterday. I've used it for 37 years

Well I went to Boots and tried a few on - had Daisy sprayed on one wrist and Orange sprayed on the other and smelt a few others on sticks.

Daisy was definitely my fave (although I did love Orange) and they had a special offer on it so I bought that one.

But now I am home, Orange has definitely lasted far better than Daisy and still smells lovely.....I think I will put that one on my Christmas list

Thanks again for the advice

i don't know what your old smells like, but i love hugo - deep red mmmmmmmmmmmmm

the new escada perfume in a red bottle is lovely, very young & fruity, similar to touch of pink but lasts a lot lot longer & is a lot cheaper.

Did you ask if they had any testers? Sometimes they will give you a small (very small) spray bottle of new fragrances to take home
