Ladies of Hexus - Gucci Rush Perfume?

[MurphmanL]

Basically mums birthday is coming up *the bank account shudders in fear of financial depletion *
And so Im now looking for a decent gift, I notice mum likes this gucci rush stuff by the looks of things but she says its expensive stuff , and even the tiny bottles are ridiculous prices.
So, on a typical high street how much am i looking to pay for either a 10ml, 30ml or 50ml bottle respectively?
Is 30ml of the stuff a decent size or kinda too small to be worth purchasing?
Either way, managed to bag a bottle of 30ml new and sealed for £17 delivered off ebay.
Good deal / Bad Deal?
Have i saved myself some cash and the humilliation of entering a perfumery store, or just humiliation but paid for it in cash?
Advice please ladies (Or lads who may have had the misfortune of going into a perfume shop and asking for this stuff! )

Gucci Rush, bout £30 a regular bottle but more for the 50ml, The missus uses it. Another nice one is Eternity.

BTW, note the difference between EDT, EDP and Parfum (cheap and weak to strong and expensive)

EDT requires a good spray (i.e. a lot) whereas Parfum is the stuff you just dab behind your ears, like in the adverts.

No idea lol no surprises but i dont wear perfume, so I'm buying blindly, but by the sound of things and because I did make a "Best Offer" it seems I have saved myself a nice packet
Thanks guys!

ebay is wicked for fragrances, ive picked up loads over the years, i usually go for testers to save a bundle

My dad bought my mother the boxed Gucci Rush set, very nice. Smells really nice

Be aware, though, that there is a sizeable market in knock-off perfumes, and eBay is a great opportunity to be conned - caveat emptor!

^^ Indeed - and knock-offs can often be nasty, causing skin rashes, burning etc. in extreme cases. Every so often you hear about market traders getting done for this sort of thing, and I guess it has all moved to fleabay now
