Since you know this girl well, why not just tell her that you want to buy her some good perfume and ask her which one she prefers?


My wife prefer that I go with her to perfume store and simply pay for perfume that she select. I think womens love to walk between all these scents and brands talk with consultant, painfully select one between 10 scents, then get it for "free". Very Happy

About Chanel. I seen a girls which get unhappy when someone make them incorrect perfume as gift, but I never seen a girl which get unhappy after something like Chanel ¹5, Chance or Mademoiselle.

In Russia everybody known that France is the best producer of perfumes and wines. In Russia word "France" is brand itself.

I was in the Mall a few days ago, testing some perfumes, the Chanel "Mademoiselle" is fantastic. I bought this perfume. I always like the original scent, but the Mademoiselle, I would suggest for a gift.... Smile

BTW, jo jo. How much you paid for it? Volume and type (scented water, etc)? I have suspiction that our prices greatly exagerated. We have upcoming "International womans day" here and it looks like their sales will grow up.

Yeah. I had an example yesterday... instead of good oak broom and VIP apartments in a bath she bought buttons from Swarovsky for a fur coat.

NB! for author of thread. If you want really impress her buy fur coat for her. End of season, prices falling. Beautiful short fur coat for USD $1200 reality.
