you're bound to get the wrong one and in the unlikely event that you get it right she'll have decided she doesn't like it anymore anyway. how about a can of ladies' deodorant?

i think wkd just comes in bottles.

Just quietly take her aside and suggest she have a goddamn wash once in a while

No, Mas ONLY use Estee Lauder's Youth Dew. They'll kill you if you get them anything else.

Mine would kill me if I got her Youth Dew, heh

L'Air du Temps by Nina Ricci is what mas go for in my experience of having a ma. And Chanel No. 5. They remind them of their youth.

(L'Air du Temps came out the year my ma was born, fact fans)

L'Air du Temps is what Clarice Starling wears in Silence of the Lambs.

Chanel No.5 is manky perfume. Years ago, a barman gave me a huge bottle of it that had been left in the toilets. I used to shake it on to the carpet beside the cat litter.

Chanel No 5 is a classic! I love it. I don't own any fancy perfumes though as they're too expensive (or maybe it's just that I have expensive taste, heh).

 

[Super Dexta]

I will probably wear Chanel No 5 when i get older seeing as my entire life so far seems to have consisted of turning into my ma.

I got her a bottle of the Eau de Parfum of it for Christmas there and apparently the bottle is almost exactly the same as the one she had when she was about my age. Good times (for her anyway)

Has anyone ever danced to mambo number 5 while wearing chanel number 5?

I did with five different women and a partridge in a pear tree.

I have a bottle of Gucci Rush 2 that my friend got me for my 30th birthday over 5 years ago. I'm nearly out now. He'll have to buy me some more, I'm way too mean to spend money on perfume.

oh me too, I'm deffo gonna be an old woman who wears it!
I don't think the bottle has changed much over time (I used to work on a Chanel counter many mons ago, wasn't one of the proper consultants though).
Remember lads and lassies that the Eau de Parfum is more expensive for a good reason - there's more perfume in it, so you can use less and it lasts longer. Eau de Toilette is a more watered down version.
Anyone ever use Laura Mercier stuff? Again waaaay to expensive to buy but my sister used to work for them so we'd have the stuff around the house. The body creams are so strong they make you smell like you're wearing perfume, amazing.
