Try Island by Kors?
Be Delicious is pretty nice if you're into the fruity smell.

I have Lumiere but i don't like it. Actually, i haven't even opened it, but for some reason i don't think i'll like it. I'm a materialistic freak who cares about what the bottle looks like.

I could understand having a few different scents to go with different shades of clothing or occassion, but 6+ :O. Why not just a signiture scent?

When I'm rich/famous enough to have someone name a scent after me, I'd stay with one signiture scent. :) Until then, having one scent is like wearing one outfit day-in day-out. I always buy the smallest bottle possible so I can afford to buy lots of different ones. And plus... I love having many beautiful bottles sitting on my dresser. :p

Tell me these don't make your heart strings flutter.

Ok, a few scent, for instance:

Green/Citris/light for summer/spring or bright coloured clothes.
Woody/dark for winter/autumn or dull coloured clothes.

For the same reason most girls own more than 6 sets of clothing.

I mean, you could own one 'signature' outfit and wear it to death and change when there was a wedding/funeral/etc (i think some guys do this :p), but its much more fun to have variety.

In the end buying little bottles works out being so much more expensive. I mean... an average 30mL bottle is about $80, while an average 100mL bottle is about '$120.

If you buy on eBay a 100mL bottle ends up being about $70 including postage.

I buy 1-2 bottles per year, but because i buy 80mL-125mL, they last for ages and i'm building quite a collection.

Im really paranoid about buying perfume over ebay. What if its a fake? Is there any way to guarantee you are getting the real thing?
And also, do you buy them predominantly from australian sellers or is it usually cheaper from overseas?

Yeah I don't really like buying perfume from ebay either,also be careful of those big perfume sales which sell the top brands at chemists,they claim to be genuine and not fake, though a while back I purchased a large bottle of a popular perfume from the chemist and the fragrance wore off very quickly, and the original usually lasts for a long time.

This site is great, I've purchased perfume/cosmetics from there a number of times and couldn't be happier with the products and fast service:)

Easy: Never buy perfume on ebay! ...unless you like the bottle but not the perfume - then I would suggest ebay is the best way to go! *confessions of a perfume bottle addict* :p

It's really difficult to authenticate cosmetics and perfumes because the packaging is really easy to copy, and all they need to do is buy the real stuff and dilute it so the 'topnotes' of the perfume are still there but it fades on your skin in about 10 minutes.

Try www.strawberrynet.com. The shipping is awesome and free, everything is a bit cheaper than what it would be otherwise. I just got my Lancome Juicy Tubes at my door this morning (at 6am though... >.<) and just ordered them Friday arvo!

That sight seems pretty good. What payment methods do they accept? Because i dont have a credit card and my parents are getting the shits that i keep borrowing theirs for internet purchases- that's why i now only buy stuff off ebay if the person has direct deposit.

I pay with my St George Visa card, if your 18+ apply for a visa card,its handy for purchasing things over the internet and making bookings etc.
