I know of some girl friends even male ones who collect fragrances. They seem to have the latest fragrance launch in the retail stores. The fragrance and perfume counter is a sure place they will visit when they go shopping on the weekends. But you don’t need to be obsessed with fragrances to try out the below fragrances by Marc Jacobs and Calvin Klein… choose your favourite designer perfume and try it for FREE.

Le Chèvrefeuille was created in 2002 by Camille Goutal who gathered her inspiration from the garden in her family home in Provence. She remembered the crowns of honeysuckle that she would weave with her cousins when they would play princess. This is my favourite perfume and my first from Annick Goutal which evokes the sun, the laughter of children, and a tender, carefree scent.

The honeysuckle flower has a suave, honeyed scent.  Here, it is subtly transformed by the scents of the flower’s stem, which brings a fresh, grassy note to the perfume.  Other aromas, such as the wild narcissus, a touch of jasmine, and a blade of lemon petit grain, combine to make this transparent, smiling fragrance that sings as much today as it did in its first days.

If you are not fond of strong floral perfume, try the light and subtle Le Chèvrefeuille fragrance. It remains my favourite after all these years… my third refill so far.

Who wouldn’t like to be a savvy and smart shopper? We all do! Now, at Shopping.com, you can compare prices for your purchases, whether it’s a designer dress, jeans, shoes, clothing, suits, children’s products, home ware…etc.

For instance, I was checking on some men’s fragrances for a birthday gift and being a fan of Hugo Boss collection, I did my search by entering the keyword in the search box. I was presented with all listed items by Hugo Boss. I was attracted to the spheric bottle of the Boss in Motion Blue Edition and was presented with various pricing from different stores. At one glance, you can compare the prices and that saves you the trouble of searching through the different stores and sites. Besides, you can read through the store reviews contributed by shoppers and those who have purchased from the stores. So in other words, you can save more when you shop at Shopping.com

I’m fussy and selective about fragrances. My favourites for the past few years are the lovey creations of Annick Goutal and I’m still adding on to my current collection.

If you are searching for an online Perfume & Cologne store, Eau de Click offers a wide selection of designer fragrances of up to 5,000 types for your pick. Even though I am asked to review the website which is a good thing as I can put my designer’s experience into practice.

You can search the fragrances by gender, or if you are unsure of what to look for, the featured brands should get you started. The website window is a little narrow which causes the layout to appear cluttered. I find the 2 boxes – Our Promise and Free UPS delivery – disturbing as they seem to take up too much space, which don’t appear to be in proportion with the overall layout.

Apart from layout, it is fairly easy to navigate especially when you can click on the alphabet to find a brand. Since this is a useful feature, it should be more prominent and not be tucked at the lower left bar. Another suggestion would be to include more dramatic photos of the fragrances and the logos can be reduced and placed at the sidebar, above or below the page, not in the middle. I would also include a ‘Home’ for the convenience of the customers and ‘About Us’ and ‘Customer Service’ pages for credibility reasons. It is always good to know who are you buying from. The shipping information should be better classified under ‘Shipping and Return’ or ‘Customer Service’ instead of ‘info’.

In terms of product availability, this online store definitely has alot to offer in the e-marketplace. Well, at least they stock my favourite Annick Goutal… most importantly, the prices are lower compared to retail stores. (http://eaudeclick.com/index.html)

I was introduced to Annick Goutal’s fragrances 3 years ago and since, I wouldn’t settle for anything else. Rose Absolue by Annick Goutal is the quintessence of the tamed rose…Creative folly for a single-flower fragrance that brings together the rarest roses from East and West. The Bulgarian, Turkish, Damask, May, Egyptian and Moroccan rose. Eternal femininety forever renewed. It is delicate, romantic, prestigious, feminine.
