i can not be bothered going around smelling perfumes to find a new favourate...
Can anyone suggest a nice one i may like??
I usually have diesel fuel for life, hypnotic poison and britney spears midnight fantasy.
I love fruity smells, mainly vanilla,rasberry, strawberry etc... i hate flowery/florally smells or musky smells!..
Im just going to buy off strawberrynet.com so no smelling before hand..
TIA

This won't help you but I went into The Body Shop yesterday & got Japanese cherry blossom body butter, oh is yummy, so think I will put the perfume on my xmas wish list.
I do like Yves Saint Laurent Baby Doll in the summer as it has glitter in it, mmm smells nice to, very girly feel to it.

Mmm body butter... lol not helping either am I?
I can't really help as I like fairly understated light perfumes so Burberry Brit and Elizabeth Arden Green Tea are my faves.

I have a few I love ..
Angel (which is what I wear most days)
Issey Miyake, which is a light summery fragrance
Ralph
CK1
I dont think id buy a perfume without smelling it though not for the kind of money you pay for them

I wear Bulgari BLV and Hugo Red.
There are lots that I like, but they turn a little funky after being on my skin for a while.
Apparently the chemicals in perfume can get "tainted" by your body chemistry, so it might be worth the effort of going to try-before-buy.

is that angel innocence LF?? i had 2 bottles that i bought overseas but never found it over here (didn't look high and low though!).
i really can not be bothered going around smelling till i find...done before quite a few times and failed miserably and iv always had more luck by winging it and trying what others recommend 
Charlie i know a few people who have "anti-perfume" skin luckily i don't appear to be one of them..

I have a bottle of Angel aswell (just called Angel though in a star shaped bottle). I love it but it can be quite strong smelling so I don't often wear it during the day.

I wear 'floral' by paul smith and it is real nice---although it is called floral- I find it quite fruity. Maybe try a couple of recommendations form here, as it would suck not to like what you buy!

If you like sweet smells (judging by the list you do) then Kylie Minouge's Sweet Darling is really nice.

Angel, Christian Dior Addict, Miss Cherie, ...
bugger , I had a whole list of fragrances and what "tones " (floral , musky etc ) they were .
Thing with perfumes is that they can smell different on different people too .

Yeah I have anti-perfume skin. Anything with citrus goes weird on me.
Definitely worth a try before you buy - you don't want to end up smelling like sunlight dishwashing liquid

Mmmmm perfume. My fave thing in all the world. I don't care what I look like as long as I smell good.
Estee Lauder - Beautiful Love, (NOT Beautiful)
YSL - Rosamor
Versace - Bright Crystal
Bulgari - Rose Essentielle (a must have)
Bulgari - Omnia Crystalline
Kenzo - Flowers by Kenzo (also a must)
Nina Ricci - Nina
Vera Wang - Vera Wang (also an absolute must in this house)
Lanvin - Oxygene if you also like Cool Water
If you like Poison you might like Tresor by Lancome. This one lasts really well.
Who am I kidding they're all absolute musts.
There's a few more but can't be bothered going back downstairs plus I got told off for making a 'stink'.
Life pharmacy usually have the best selection so perhaps go in there and try a few out.

I'd recommend trying before you buy - it's amazing the difference in reactions on certain people's skin. You don't want to pay heaps of money to smell like cat pee
Maybe take a few suggestions off here then try those ones on? That's what I plan on doing (need a new one as I'm completely over Rush (Gucci) but was a pressie so will use the rest of it.
