Some of the niche lines nowadays are vastly overpriced for what they are, but LS are run/owned by knowledgeable people and sell good stuff.<br /><br />As I mentioned to Tania, AllBeauty (http://www.allbeauty.com) and Fragrance Direct (http://fragrancedirect.co.uk/) are great if you're hunting for a bargain.

I wonder if I simply pay attention to what I'm smelling - my eyes aren't great, so it could be another sense stepping up. <br /><br />I like two online discounters for perfume, AllBeauty (http://www.allbeauty.com) and Fragrance Direct (http://fragrancedirect.co.uk/).

The only ones that I like are by Tom Ford (wayyyyyy out of my price range) and a couple by Prada. Really must make a point of tracking down something a bit more unusual so thank you for the recommendations.

I'd recommend nipping into the chemist/drugstore occasionally, trying a squirt of something new, and seeing whether you like it. If you do, why? If you don't, why?

Even if independents cost slightly more at the moment of paying for something (eg indie coffee shops are a little more expensive), the overall benefit to the community is much better if people shop indie.Mimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578612522819952936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211353948967221274.post-8723892758116408862016-07-14T09:38:42.454+01:002016-07-14T09:38:42.454+01:00I have been very much enjoying your VP instagrams....I have been very much enjoying your VP instagrams.
