I need perfume suggestions for the girlfriend
Topic Started: Aug 8 2007, 08:59 AM (515 Views)

I want to give my girlfriend a perfume as a gift. She says that she likes them sweet.

What is good? I don't want to disappoint, but I don't really know women's perfumes. I want a nice one, and not one that makes her smell like an old lady.

Different perfumes smell very different on different people. There's a few that I love on others, but can't wear myself.

If you're going to buy perfume, and she doesn't have a particular name in mind, you need to take her with you.

Malt vinegar, demarara sugar and a dash of Coruba rum.

i agree. unless she tells you a brand she likes, you better have her try some out the next time you just "happen" to be walking by a perfume counter . . .

I want to bring it to her. So I need to choose a good sweet one. I guess any of the good brands will be good right?

Go to the counter at Sax and tell one of those cute girls with too much makeup that you need a recommendation FOR YOUR SISTER. Maybe you can pinch a date with one of them for your efforts.
In my defense, I was left unsupervised.

I love Romance by Ralph Lauren. Make sure to get her the lotion to go along with the spray.

You'd honestly be better off taking her with you. Or taking her shopping and having her try them as musicasacra suggests.

Body chemistry does weird things with some scents, Crash. It could smell fantastic on one person, and horrid on another.

Then again, why am I bothering to give advice at all? :P

better yet. If she looks at magazines there are usually samples of perfumes. That is how I found the perfume Romance.

I don't like sweet perfumes, so can't help, but keep this in mind. Make sure YOU like it, a lot. Spray some on yourself and walk around the mall for an hour, sniffing yourself.

or just take jon's advice. :lol:

Give her the perfume your last girlfriend wore.

Tell the new one it reminds you of her.

They like that.

Or the one your mum wore. That works too.

I did not buy my last girlfriend a perfume. I think she'd prefer the money...

You should ask her. I wouldn't presume to buy a woman perfume without knowing her preferences.
Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool.

I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss!

you can have her try some perfumes when you "happen" to walk by a perfume counter (you know how they're always trying to spray passersby). then buy her a bottle of something that smelled nice on her. so it's still a surprise, but you also know she likes it.

that's it. you're on your own from here.

i'm very low maintenance for IT. i don't wear perfume. he knows i just like to keep stocked up on body butter from The Body Shop. smooth, glowing skin rocks. :woot:

Its not the words
You know I'll always love you
It's not the words
I wish that I could stay
It's more the way your lips looked
As you spoke them
And how the moonlight fell upon your face
I married her just because she looks like you

And for every time you said no
She says honey I'll be glad to
And for every time you left me
She says darling I'll be there
It's not the words
You'll get over me
That made my dreams come true
I married her just because she looks like you

And if I had not searched for you
I never would have found her
And if I had not loved you
I would never have known love
It's not the words
Please try to forget me
That made my dreams come true
I married her just because she looks like you

And for every time you knocked me down
She reaches out to help me
And for every time you cursed me
She says darling I love you
It's not the words
Time heals everything
That made my dreams come true
I married her just because she looks like you

Try Lysol, crash. It's not a lot more expensive than sheep dip and the thought is what counts.

Big Al,

We are talking about perfume for the girl, not disinfectant for Crashtest. :P

Great song, George :wave:

Here's another good one for crash:

Now to find a man good loving
Ain't an easy thing to do
You've got to know just what you're looking for
And where to find it too

She's hot to go she's ready
She's hot to go right now
She's hot to go
You've got to know
That stop-and-do-it gal

We don't have no lengthy shopping
You don't have to stand in line
You don't have to care who sees your hair
You don't have to waste your time

She's hot to go she's ready
She's hot to go right now
She's hot to go
You've got to know
That stop-and-do-it gal

You can stop by in the morning
You can stop by late at night
You can stop by if you're ugly friend
Or if you look all right

She's hot to go she's ready
She's hot to go right now
She's hot to go
You've got to know
That stop-and-do-it gal

Now I crept up from behind her
She looked so fine to me
But when I stepped around her man
My eyes could plainly see

She was ugly from the front
She was ugly from the front
She was ugly from the front
And I said ugly-ugly-ugly-ugly-ugly

Well I could handle it behind her
And I like it on the side
But don't make me look around her man 'cause she's
Ugly-ugly-ugly-ugly-ugly

She was ugly from the front
She was ugly from the front
She was ugly from the front
And I said this girl was so ugly...

She's hot to go she's ready
She's hot to go right now
She's hot to go
You've got to know
That stop-and-do-it gal
