I have decided that I would like a new perfume but don't know how to choose one. I have used Clinique for far too long.

To begin with, I went to Boots (the only place left in our town) and approached the girl on the perfume counter hoping for some suggestions.

Her suggestion was to take me over to the Clinique counter! Is clinique seen as suitable for older people?

Perfume is so flipping expensive that I don't want to get it wrong.

So, how do I go about selecting a new one?

I usually have a good squirt going through Duty Free at the airport, there’s usually something I like but I do revert back to Estée Lauder, Jo Malone and, on special occasions, my Chanel no.5. For everyday wear those little M&S bottles are quite good especially for travel.

I echo all those choices 😃

Try Eden Perfumes. They are not the real thing but are excellent! Prices superb. I love YSL Yvresse,Clinique Aromatics and Guerlain Samsara. They smell exactly the same. Great Trustpilot reviews too. Check out the prices! 😁

They also do refills as well . I went into their Brighton branch but you can do it via post
