Does anyone know if zara have discontinued Waterlily Tea Dress? It was my favourite one of theirs, but haven’t seen it in months 🙁

It it the regular Black Opium you got? I got the Black Opium Extreme less than half price a few weeks back but I haven’t tried it yet and I bought it just going on reviews online. I do like the original Black Opium.

Yes it's the original 🙂
I've liked a few of the special ones (including ones with fluorescent green and pink on the bottles - can't remember which I preferred) but not enough to pull the trigger.
Perfume is so personal - when you know, you know!
Edited to add, someone got me a La Vie Est Belle special edition last Christmas and sadly it makes me sneeze and gives me headaches, unlike the original! At least the Black Opium ones all smell similar to one another 🙂

I bought a bottle of Britney Spears Midnight Fantasy during the week as it was only €15 and my current bottle of Black Opium is EDP so it doesn't last pissing time 🙄 thought the Britney would be a nice one to top up with during the day.
It's veery strong and very very sweet but I kind of love it 😅 takes me right back to 2007/2008 when a friend used to wear the original Fantasy perfume and absolutely douse herself in it to cover up the smell of cigs 😂 Fun times!
I can't quite put my finger on the scent but it kind of smells like sweeties. Not my usual fresh summer scent but a bit of fun!

Quoting myself here, I meant my current bottle of Black Opium is eau de toilette and doesn't last at all on my skin. Accidentally picked it up thinking it was my usual EDP.
Still loving Britney.

Really want to get a new perfume for the season! I had Lush's Tumeric Latte last year which was really nice but some people in the office didn't like it :ROFLMAO:

Has anybody smelt the Victoria Beckham perfumes? X

I'm intrigued by it! Can't wait to try. The turguoise bottle one sounds similar to the Tom Ford one which I like but have never liked quite enough to pull the trigger on it - maybe the VB will be the one!

I wouldn't describe terre d'hermes as an orangey or citrus scent, it has some citrus but it's more earthy and woody and very heavy on ISO E Super. Based on what you've described I think it would be too strong for you @Sketchy

DKNY Woman is an excellent citrus. And usually very cheap

I would suggest Hermès Eau des Merveilles it reminds me of terre Hermes but more feminine but it leans towards cedar notes to but I love it despite the poor longevity. My hubby wears terre and it’s quite masculine.

Chanel No 5 L'Eau and Tom Ford Mandarino di Amalfi Are quite citrusy.

it’s not been changed?! said:
How does cash back work on look fantastic? I spent £100 there the other day and I came up telling my how much I could have got back?! 😣

you need to register with the website top cash back. Then you click on a link through their website and it tracks your purchase

Got a feeling the perfume prices were an error. Lots of them now full price. I ordered the 100ml bronze goddess but I’m expecting it to be cancelled as it’s showing as £85 now 😭

Hi, sorry if this has been asked before but perhaps someone knew the dupe for YSL’s Yvresse or Champagne? The product’s been discontinued so I’m looking for a replacement with similar scent. 😀

I'm wearing YSL Black Opium today - it's EDT and if I buy it again I'll definitely go for the EDP as it has much more staying power.
I've been saving my Boots points and have just over €100 so looking forward to treating myself - craving something new though.

Is it anything like OPIUM by YSL which I love and I find really quite heady!
