Perfume ideas

[filthiestfis]

I'm looking for a perfume for my gf but I don't know which ones are nice. I know that she prefers parfum to EDT. Are there any decent ones out there without breaking the bank (not going over 20-25 quid)?

You really could do with trying to find out what she likes. We could recommend loads but that doesn't mean that your gf would like any of them and it would be a waste of your hard earned cash!

She doesnt know what she likes...we went to a perfume shop a couple of months ago and tested a few and she couldnt make up he rmind so...

Lolita Lempicka's Midnight is lovely - and comes in a really nice purple bottle with silver or gold leafing detail around the outside - so looks nice on a dressing table, as well as smelling lovely.

For �25 you'd only get the smallest availale bottle, particularly in a parfum - but you get something decorative as well as a great scent. It is also rather unusual and uncommon - so she wouldn;t be smelling the same as half the other women in a room.

OK. Tricky if we dont have any clues of what she likes. But cn have a go.
Could you describe your GF's style? Is she a very girly girl? Is she more of a classic "grown up" style? More of a unisex/tomboy?

Are there any famous ladies you know she admires/ empathises with?

Girly girl, Hmm. You could get down to boots or another perfume shop and smell the following, see which you like. (if you like it, thats half the battle as you wont want her wearing something you dont like!)

Not necessarily recommending buying at Boots but good place to try them.

Sunkissed Glow by JLo Eau de Toilette 100ml

Ghost Sweetheart Eau de Toilette 30ml

Sarah Jessica Parker The Lovely Collection Endless Eau de Parfum 75ml

This one has a special offer at boots though, its a smaller bottle you can carry in your handbag, along with a refill. Marc Jacobs Daisy Refillable Purse Spray 20ml & Refill 15ml

The boots prices for all of these are between �23-28. But if you search on the internet you should be able to get the prices down.
Also, i wouldnt worry too much about EDT vs Parfum. it just means the EDT is lighter, which if it is a perfume she doesnt know, is not a bad thing. If you find one she likes, then next present can be the parfum or body lotions!
