    Paris Hilton is a best seller for Mother's Day?! That's a disturbing idea… I don't associate any maternal virtues with her. :)

    Paris Hilton is given to mothers by children who don't know who their father is.

    Maybe they were joke presents? My family knows better than to give me perfume for Mother's Day, although for my birthday, I just select a bottle and my husband gives it to me. Everyone is happy that way.

    LOL! I would say poor Paris, but she is making a killing.

    And I don't know what OP Blend or Perry Ellis Woman are, never mind Red Dress! I assume these are the scents chosed by children / husbands without consulting the Mother concerned? (The only scent ever chosen for me by H without consultation was Chanel #5. Poor lamb – it was probably the most luxurious fragrance he could think of…and I've always hated it! I tried desperately to use up the bottle because he'd been so kind. I've dropped lots of hints about Allure, which I DO like, but I think his feelings were hurt after that. ) N

    So what does Paris Hilton smell like? I've never seen it anywhere.

    Consider yourself lucky that (a) you don't know what Ms. Hilton smells like and (b) your husband actually made an effort and went to a department store. During our first year together my ex-husband gave me a 20 year old decant of L'Air du Temps (from his mother's dressing table) in a weird red bottle that he got on a street sale. I also thought, poor lamb!

    It is only at Perfumania, and the proceeds benefit the American Heart Association, see:

    Do you mean that he actually moved the juice from a vintage bottle? Too funny.

    I would guess plenty of poorly chosen fragrance gets passed around on Father's Day too.

    My family thinks I'm already too obsessed with perfumes, so they would never give me fragrance gift! They don't want to feed the addiction — LoL!

    I get that reaction too — even when my family asks what I want!
