    which only appear at xmas, do you get taken in by them and think "I must rush out and buy some"?

    I was very disappointed to find that French perfume adverts aren't all in English.

    surely you mean "pour mes aisselles "

    I dont understand them - they are all the same so I have no idea which one I am watching

    Also whats with the French stuff - in post Brexit Britain who wants that

    For the Men just get some Old Spice or Brut
    and for the birds a bit of Charlie ( The Perfume not the drug!)

    I've started buying my perfumes from FM. https://www.fmgroupproducts.com/p/fragrance-equivalent-for-women.html It's a bit like buying from Avon - there is a local rep. The perfumes come from the same vat as the high street branded perfumes, but come minus the packaging and official label. I've tried a few, and honestly can't tell the difference between them and the "real thing". It's definitely a step up from the cheap fakes you can get on markets etc, but is entirely legal, and enables people to earn a few quid, instead of you paying for ridiculous advertising campaigns. I think you can now get FM perfumes on Amazon, but you need to look up the number of the perfume brand you're after. I prefer to go through the local rep, as it enables them to make a living.

    Thanks, I'll remember that the next time I want some Channel no. 5, or is it 4?

    Not many adverts have the ability to convince the consumer to instantly go out and buy the product. What it does do, according to a marketing mate of mine, is give the company leverage to gain stockists for their product. Eg John Paul Gaultier rep sees the Boots buyer and says that there'll be huge demand for their products this Christmas because they've secured x amount of air time on TV whereas Mr Armani has done nowt. Hence buyer might be persuaded to stock a pallet load of the other stuff.

    google Fragrance Shop Merthyr Tydfil (this is getting beyond a joke I know!) and you'll see some good bargains.

    What's the difference between - perfume/fragrance/scent.

    I don't get the add with Ryan Reynolds. He's developing photos with a young sexy bird splashes on some perfume and it makes him throw himself off a tall building. Then there's the one with Jonny Depp. It smells so bad he drives out into the dessert and buries it.

    I've always found a new hoover & a pair of oven gloves works a treat. Then again, I am now single.

    Bought my missus the same perfume for 50 years, the original 'Miss Dior', this year stopped the perfume and 'Eau de Parfum'. Now they only do the cheaper EDT, damn Brexit.
