ok so my friends b-day is coming up and i know she likes/wants the burberry perfume. but theres like 10 different kinds, which one do i get? i would normally go with what i'd think smells good but it never turns out good. so which one do i pick off this list? i'd secretly ask her but shes in aruba right now so thats a no go.

Go with whichever one you can get for $3 a gallon. Nothing says "thinking about you" like a jug of par-fumé

Burberry sucks!! (those on my myspace know how much I think Burberry sucks)... Get her Love Spell from Victoria Secret or Happy by Clinique.

Just get her something from a department store and ask them to include a gift receipt. This way if she doesn't like the new choice, she can return it for something else.

Origins Ginger Essence is one of my all-time faves if you're looking for something new.

NT already vouched ("vogued" for those of us who were around for one of the funniest threads ever) for you, so you can use it FREE OF CHARGE! Mebbe you could help with the marketing of this new business venture ;)

That's your best bet. I did that with my ex and he ended up not liking my choice so he exchanged it for a better one that we both liked. :)

Polo black ftmfw! yummy.

armani aqua di gio on a guy is like, "hi, please come rape me now!"

As far as girls: How old is this friend? When i was younger is was all about Tommy hilfiger "Tommy Girl" and Clinique Happy.

Around 18/19 i started wearing Very Sexy for her by Victoria Secret. There are like 3 now, but just the plain "for her" is the best IMO. I have also really grown to like Victoria Secret "Pink" My roomate wears it and i really like it now.

I also now wear Abercombie 8. LOVE it! It's def. awesome if she's a preppy kinda girl. yum

As far as burberry stuff...don't get britt. it smells like ickyness.

just throwing it in there, IMHO i like stella mccartney, in the purple bottle. :sweatdrop

burberry is a lil' 'over-powering' for me

but if all else fails - gift card is FTW

gift cards are too impersonal. i think tey suck if its coming from somebody who is "more than just a friend"

Polo Double Black is by far better imo. If you wanna, you can come over sometime and smell me. :fingersx:

My g/f wears 8. Hot stuff!!! I just picked up some A/F Fierce for myself. It's pretty good stuff if you're a guy.:D:

Escape by Calvin Klein

It's been around for ages and is godly.

Burberry anything strikes me as overpriced overmarketed ugly garbage. But to each his own...

very sexy by victoria secret. its such a turn on smelling that on a girl.
my girl had it. and when her friend wears it...damn, thats hot.

I use to like very sexy until a friend of mine with halitosis wore it all the time.. Now the smell of it reminds me of her stank ass breath!

if it's the newest burberry scent, it's probably burberry london.

http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P136025&categoryId=S22222&shouldPaginate=true

it's a floral scent that lasts quite a while. and like what most people said, just save the receipt to make sure your friend can exchange it if she doesn't like it. good luck!

betsey johnson is also a really good one. smells great, kind of 'flirty'. lasts a long time. cool packaging.
