Do you smell perfume/aftershave before you buy?

[Amy Jade]

Cheryl Cole's new perfume will apparently earn her 1.2 million if the pre orders are to be believed but nobody has smelt it yet so I was wondering do you smell them before you buy or do you buy scents on the strength of their brand or celebrity endorsement.

I never buy without smelling them first and the celebrity means nothing to me, I wear La Vie est Belle at the moment.

I heard Perfume and brought it

:clap1: what a tune

[Amy Jade]

I think everyone does :umm2:

But if that is true how can Cheryl Cole's have so many pre orders?

[Redway]

Yeah.

[Sophiee]

I always smell them first before buying, but if it's a certain celebrity's perfume that I want anyway I just buy it in that case.

I always smell before buying and I rarely like celebrity perfumes anyway tbh, I think the only one I ever liked the smell of was Mrs Wright by Mark Wright :umm2: think it was only about 15 quid too :laugh:

I have never bought perfume for myself, and the only time I have bought it for someone else is for my mum who gets the same stuff everytime, so no.

[MTVN]

Aftershave is so expensive I never really buy it myself and just get it as presents, the stuff lasts bloody ages anyway

[Josy]

I always get a ton of celebrity perfumes at Christmas, some one actually bought me Josie Gibson perfume a couple of years ago they never even knew who she was and said I bought you that because it says Josie on it :facepalm:

[Vicky.]

I have a bottle of some britney spears stuff from about 5 years ago thats still in the plastic wrapping :laugh:

[MTVN]

Whack it on for when you go into labour Vicky

[MTVN]

Don't know why you would do that though really

[Shaun]

yes

but this frustrates me with deodorant and air freshener... i always try to subtly give each a spray and a whiff but feel a bit scummy about doing it

[Josy]

My OH gets embarrassed if I do that when he's with me but I don't really care :laugh: I spray it then make sure I take another can from right at the back of the shelves to buy because lots of people spray the ones at the front.

[Kizzy]

Never, perfume is like clothes you wouldn't wear something that looked totally stupid on you just because it was in fashion would you?

[BigSister]

I have to smell it just in case I don't like the smell. theres no point buying something and it smells disgusting

[Cal.]

Yes of course

[Bluerang1]

But if that is true how can Cheryl Cole's have so many pre orders?
