Perfumes for old nana's?

Could you maybe as her husband if she has a fave?
Perfume can be hard to pick for someone else unless you have a rough idea if they like sweet smells etc.

Maybe one of the Liz Taylor ones. They seem kind of old ladyish to me.

Which one? I use 19 sometimes. I hope I don't smell like a granny

Not sure...5 or 19... Her house has always smelled of it. I can't wear it at all because it is her smell itms.

The first thing that popped into my head was "anything overpowering with 'floral tones'
IMO purfume is a really hard thing to buy for someone else, I'd go with some Roses Only roses and chocolate.

Ooh good luck with that!! Even my best friend couldn't pick my tastes - she bought me something that I had such an aversion to I had to quietly pass it on to someone else!

Can you maybe go down the path of some body shop stuff - they have some beautiful new fragrances (well I say new but they could have been around for awhile - I hadn't been in there for a while until recently..) in their hand cream, body mist etc section. I find that a bit easier to choose than perfume.

But if you are really keen on perfume I would go something not too strong, and probably light fruity or light florally.

My Mum always said if you don't know what to get someone buy them posh soap.
SIL's Mum came to stay for Christmas last year and got so much soap that she must have worried about BO lol.

A nice porcelain cup is a good old lady present.
