Chanel no.5 - can't go wrong.

You really should listen more. She will have told you what she wants. ;)

You can, if someone bought me Chanel No5 I would very miffed, can't stand the stuff :P

The handbag is probably the safer option if you don't know what perfume she wants, have a nosy at her existing bags to get an idea of style and colours she likes and don't get a £15 special off the market :lol:

I stand corrected. :)

I've never met a woman who didn't love it.

Maybe it's the smell, and the stubble, and the soup stains down my string vest. :D
 
A string vest... oh boy pass me a fan :LOL:
 
Sorry bur another vote for Chanel no 5 here.
Or Boss Nuit.
 
Sorry this is completely OT, but this might be my chance to find the answer to a question I've had for years.

When I was a kid, so late 60s, a friend of my Mum used to wear a perfume that smelled like vanilla, but very subtle. It was wonderful.

Knowing the lady in question, it would have been very expensive.

Any ideas?

I love how you're delighted, every birthday and every Christmas, with the 20 Marlboro and half bottle of cheap scotch I buy you :love::love:

Not off the top of my head but it you find out, let me know, sounds far more appealing than bloody Chanel

The problem wasn't that Yv demanded them; the problem was that Yv got them! :rolleyes:

... Sometimes even before I knew a new, big lump of Nikon was what I had bought her for her birthday! :banghead: :LOL:

Yes, but at least you never had the problems poor @archangel now has - and I still say handbag :D
 
Perfume? For ops wife try boss woman. Smells nice and would suit :)
 
OP...ASK her about the perfume.
And the bag? Well budget aside...Mulberry. or a Russell& Bromley

'Cheap' misses the point entirely Matthew - allow me to educate you... your idea shows absolutely no thought, or love, or effort on behalf of the husband and can quickly lead to many weeks of the silent treatment, and trust me, women are far better at this than men.

Which reminds me of a joke I heard today. I had a guy round to clean our oven and he was telling me about the lady he had visited last week. Whilst there, her husband came home, saw a man in the kitchen and asked what was going on? She replied she was having the oven cleaned. Why, came back the reply, you never use it, I even store your christmas present in it. Quick as a flash, the lady retorted "thats ok, I keep yours in the condom drawer" :D

Now you see taking a loved one shopping on my part would should a lot of effort simply as I absolutely hate shopping with a passion, and the personal sacrifice that it would be to enter a shop where there was nothing I could possibly want to buy would be a special kind of purgatory

That said your above explanation also likely goes a long way towards explaining my perpetual bachelor state :suspect:

Maybe, though I am one of those women that HATES shopping too, so as you can imagine, it really wouldn't suit me - frankly I would rather buy my own than be dragged around a shopping centre. I can do dinner out though :D

Bachelors Club should be formed on this date :lol: a place where fellow brothers of the bachelorhood can kick back and relax in a pleasant clubhouse

Of course we would need some bylaws for the good of the club :thumbs:

So part of my suggestion was passable then after all :D woman your always changing your minds :P
 
Cheat! Look on her dressing table (or in wherever she keeps her perfumes) and see which bottle is half empty. There may be a few open bottles but probably only one that's been reasonably heavily used. Have a quick sniff (from a distance!) and see if the suspect bottle smells anything like Mrs Archangel on a night out (or usually!) - if so, chances are that it'll be the right one. Check in the shop to see if it's possible to return a virgin bottle just in case it's not the right one.

Alternative idea... There's probably a bit of kit you've been wanting for a while - buy her that!!! (Best get a cricket cup as well!)
 
Three ways round the perfume dilemma

a) have a look in her dressing table and see what she's got but nearly run out of

b) Ask her best friend (this assumes both that you know who her best friend is, and know how to get hold of her .... oh and that she's actually talking to you)

c) revolutionary idea - just ask your wife.
