Spec me a perfume

No, not for me!

I have been tasked with getting my good lady a perfume for her impending Birthday and she has given me a brief. Now I know most of you chaps may be of no use at all, but I know a couple of you may have ladies in your lives and I am hoping to tap into this knowledge, as well as any lady posters.

The brief is that it must be modern, fresh, light - nothing heavy, over-powering or musky.

Now I know I should go out and sniff one down myself but I need some pointers.

Thank you please.

Last time I went shopping for perfume for a girl I brought another friend (girl) to help

.

Maybe a suggestion?

I like the Mariah Carey one, Butterfly or something it's called.

Take another female friend out to help otherwise you will be in her bad books for getting the wrong scent. Its not about what you like so you need someone there who might have a better idea and nose.

Oooo perfume is very specific to that person.. so I don't really go for it as a gift... if I do its usually a very small bottle

Try Dolce and Gabbana - Light Blue

Sounds like it may fit the bill

One of my personal faves.... also Miss Dior - v girly, I don't have it but it is nice.

Indeed. Sniff as many as you can but don't tell your good lady.

I only go for classic and that's Chanel N°5 Parfum Bottle.

Good point. Might have to drag the sister out with me, or just go and chat up the perfume girls in House of Fraser.

Well this is where my problem lies. I would normally go for something like this but she wants modern. All of those are a bit more of a classic perfume.

I usually buy the other half her favourite which is; Juicy Couture or Viktor and Rolf.

Kristoph · 28 Nov 2011 at 22:34

Bought the gf some Gucci Guilty on a whim and it's pretty light / modern? She liked it

Dava · 29 Nov 2011 at 03:21

My Missis likes the viktor and Rolf - flower bomb

CrispyOtter · 29 Nov 2011 at 09:42

Go and look at the purfumes she already has... and buy her the one with the least in or most expensive one

I've just bought my partner some of that Loverdose (diesel) for xmas, it's really nice.
