A friend suggested a book to me recently - and I've picked it up for my fiance for Christmas - called Deluxe, How Luxury Lost Its Luster.
One of the sections deals entirely with the perfume industry, and how 95% or so scents are all made by one company, like Johnson & Johnson or something. Mass produced, and easily done, and upsold simply on packaging and brand name.
I can't wait for her to finish up the book because my friend said he couldn't put it down. Looking forward to reading it.

Nice shit though.Nairn - ..though the bottle of 'sport' I bought a year or so back has gone completely unused. Not very nice stuff.Nairn
- Not smelt that one. I find people can over do any scent, I usually just slap a drip on after a shave or one sprayset

dont buy a perfum for your GF AND your dad
choose different gifts- I think I am gonna be limited to what I can buy in Liverpool St station now. Could get a pasty maybe.Ranger
- Then don't buy anything at ll - how disheartening to receive a thoughtless last minute purchase from a train station!Nairn
- It's something they've asked for but they don't know what they want. So I am asking others advice. No biggie.Ranger
