She has a birthday fairly soon and she loves perfumes almost as much as I do. Her favorites are Givenchy Organza, Chanel N19, Yves Saint Laurent Opium, and Jean Paul Gaultier Classique Eau de Parfum (woman in a corset). I was thinking of getting her L'Artisan Parfumeur L'Eau D'Ambre, but then someone said that one reminded them of a creepy grandmother. So now I'm confused. I live in NYC so I have access to most niche fragrances. Any help would be much appreciated.

. I think that perhaps IVOIRE DE BALMAIN might work or even something like Coco Chanel (since she enjoys Chanel's already).
