I need some help buying a perfume. My wife has been wearing that Viva la juicy (LOL @ the name) perfume and wants something similar. She likes those light scents that don't smell like stripper or old lady.
I wanted to get her some for a stocking stuffer but those viejas at the department store counters just want to push whatever the newest crap is instead of listening to me.
I've been totally in love with Coach's Poppy and Poppy Flower for close to a year. I don't like those sugary sweet ones like Juicy, these 2 are very light floral. I like being able to alternate them for a slight variety, but similarity.
See but the one she has isn't too "sugary sweet". I've heard some good stuff about that coach one.
I wish she was like me. I wear Issey Miyake and have been for years. I'm not good with change.
if you only want some light scent then the natural scent of herself would be the best imho, no chemical compound smells nearly as good as a female's natural smell does. im a lifelong celibate & misogynist and i genuinely hate them females but some of them really smell good to me tbh, maybe the only thing that smells better than them is heroin
Hustle, go to ULTA. You can walk around and look/sample everything yourself without anyone trying to help you.
Does it really have to be some high dollar, pretentious, designer brand?
If not, get her B & BW White Citrus. That stuff doesn't attract bugs or nasty old men. I think she'd like it!
Ed Hardy, Versace - Bright Crystal, and Victoria Secrets has some nice scents too.
You are absolutely right, most that stuff should be for special occasions, it's too much for daily use. For every day I can always find something wonderful at B&BW. Recently I've started to go a bit more hippie chick with aromatic oils like musk or patchouli---I think that's the kind of "natural" scent Latarian is referring to.Quote:

Maybe I'll find something there and get a gift card too.Quote:
