Need help finding a perfume for my girl

Hi,

I'm looking for a fragrance to buy my new girlfriend as a random gift.

I suppose I'm looking for something suitable to her age and style.

She's 19 first of all, and she's a very unique girl.. she's got a little bit of the alternative rock / goth style going, and she's hot.

She's kinda shy, but opens up with me.. she isn't very talkative or like overly outgoing .. she's really calm and cool. Very pretty eyes and nice red hair.

Can anybody suggest a fragrance for me to get her? I was thinking Halloween by J Del Pozo.

Thanks!
-Mike

If she's not into perfumes, buy her one from the very famous houses, so she knows it's "real". Escada, DKNY, Gucci etc. Go smell some and buy a perfume that you like and that you think she will like.

I agree with stiansaint, that you should buy her something recognizable you like yourself. My first thought was to check out Nu by YSL. Good luck!

I don't really like going out to sample stuff, I'm more into blind purchases

I know, risky business.. but hell.

I think I'm gonna go with a mini of Vivienne Westwood Boudoir and a 1 oz Christian Dior Hynpotic Poison.. descriptions for those 2 fragrances really intrigued me.

I dislike dior hypnotic poison for a lady. When I smelt it, it gave me hypnotic vertigo.

Opium is a wonderful scent, but I have to say that if she is slightly goth/alternative rock, if you give her Dior Hypnotic Poison she may find the bottle/title so interesting that she may not even care how it smells. You know what I mean? I hope the perfume Gods don't smite me for saying that, but I think I can identify with your girl, and if I were her I would find "hypnotic poison" a really awesome scent to wear. That is all.
