I also use the Lacoste its great! Does anyone know were I can get the body lotion from it? I found it once by the cancadian duty free but I cant find it again anywhere!

You can check online at any dept. stores website what category your perfume is under, and check what they show that is similar (although I never found them to be similar at all)
Not all stores carry the same things.

There are stores like Saphora, Lord & Taylor... that will give you samples in sm. tubes for free that you can try at home.
Take home some, try them at home & see what he likes.

Im not going to add my favorite cuz I dont want to get you more confused (& its discontinued).
Good Luck!!!

All these names will really get you nowhere, and bringing home perfume samples on paper is not very accurate since it won't smell the same with your body's chemistry as it does on paper. (I have one perfume that I LOVE on paper, but it's just wrong on me. I love smelling it on others.)
You have to try it on yourself. Let it dry for about a half hour to get the smell right.

Ihave a very veryhard time picking out perfumes, and it is such an expensive investment that you want to be sure that you like it before investing good money.

It is IMPOSSIBLE to sniff several at one time and select one, after one or two your nose does not give a "true sniff".

I have learned to ask people what they are wearing if I smell something that I like. Then I go to the store and spray it on a cotton ball and walk around with that for a bit. If it is still good, I spray myself with the tester and do this for two or three days (I told the saleswoman what I was doing). And then, if I still like it, I make the purchase

Different perfumes smell differently on each person.

This "system" is not failproof, but it is better than what I used to do (spray each 5 cm of my body with something else and then ask everyone "do you like this?" "do you prefer that?")

Your DH can sniff the cotton and/ or you...

Good Luck

We can tell you what we like. Not what you will like.
