Morning Bluwise, I wish I understood the "reply with quote" but after trying umpteen times, I'm not getting there.
However, I've just looked up your Elie Saab perfume. I'd never ever heard of it and I've never heard of a Lebanese perfumier either.  I will definitely go and have a sniff of this.  Would you say it's a summer perfume and a day or night one?

Morning Mrs B - when you hit 'quote' a lot of text appears at the top - just make sure you put your cursor at the very end - after the bit that says [/quote]   
I then use the preview option to make sure I haven't messed up (again) 
(You can also delete out bits of the quote as long as you don't remove the [quote at the beginning or the [/quote at the end)

Elie Saab - now, I wouldn't call it a day perfume as to me they tend to be very light and often floral.  This one is very distinctive and can pack a punch if over-sprayed.  It's popularity is 50:50 amongst friends and as I mentioned it's a love or hate - nothing in between.  To me it's a woody tone rather than a bouquet of roses.   
I doubt this is helping - go have a sniff in Boots and let me know what you think.

Hi Mrs HB,  you just click on quote (above the line and to the right on the quote you wish to use) this inserts the quote and opens in a reply box.

Please leave at least one line after the quote before you start to type your response.  Hope this helps.

Two replies at exactly the same time to the second - amazing - I wonder if that has ever happened before.

Please ignore this really stupid post of mine:(

OMG I used to have Kiku!! Totally forgot about that one. My mum had Avon's Topaz too LOL.
Another earlier one I wore was Cinnabar by Estee Lauder. It was soooooo heavy!
Oh and another oldie I wore was Chloe Narcisse,
