LED Street Light LU08-224WProduct: Austin Reed For Women fragrance.
Price: pounds 39 for 100mlEase of use: OK, although Ihad to spray a lot on to be able to smell it.
Verdict: The marketing Fake Chloe Handbags people describe this perfume as 'the essence of modern luxury, a sparkling floriental fragrance', adding that it's 'never obvious or intrusive'. In fact it's so unintrusive I could barely smell it 10 minutes after application. It's a nice enough aroma but a waste of money unless you like really light perfumes. RL Available from: Mostdepartment stores and Austin Reed shops.
