Hi, I don't wear perfume often...I've probably had the same bottle for 10 + years!

My kids want to buy me something for Xmas and I thought a classic, non overpowering perfume might be nice.

Since I know nothing about this and knowing the kids will just choose the most fancy bottle....what are some popular suggestions?

I like Flower by Kenzo. The bottle is actually quite pretty, too.

DKNY Be Delicious is my new favourite - it's citrusy.

And my all time love is Miss Dior cherie, by Christian Dior.

My absolute fav of all time is Organza Indecence by Givenchy. Very beautiful, very classic and I always used to get comments about it. One lady at work bought a bottle just because she loved it so much from me. But sadly you can't get it anymore in Aust mad.gif You can only buy it from Harrods in London.

So, my next fav is Classique by Jean Paul Gaultier

Romance by Ralph Lauren is really nice.
Pleasures by Estee Lauder is not overpowering at all.
Agree with some of the other suggestions by PPs such as Vera Wang and Chanel No.5.

Best thing for you to do is go and pick one yourself first. I let my husband choose for me once and he loved it, but I didn't. I wear this one maybe once in a blue moon but my other ones all the time.

Another vote for Flower By Kenzo! Love this one, its my day time smelly...

For going out at night I love Leau Dissey by Issey Miyake..

Both have been around for a while, I have tried others but tend to always come back to these two! biggrin.gif
