Where do you buy your smellies?

I was wondering where you usually stock up on cosmetics perfumes, smellies and why?

Duty-free for perfume- because it's duty free . Smellies: I burn a match and chuck down the toilet. You are talking about Chihuahua doodies aren't you?

Smellies is an English word, I suggest you visit England at some point in your life, you would like the language, and would be amazed that we have a lot more words for Chihuahua doodies

It's on her list, I'm sure.

Right after Somalia, Afghanistan and the Congo.

Anyway, lots of smellies down the Bahnhofstrasse in Zurich, but be prepared to remortgage your house before setting out.

Duty free really is the way to go.

Wait until I go home and buy it in Semi-Chem or Superdrug.

So, the Queen says "get me me smellies luv"? Whereas I would ask for perfume? Are you are saying "Chihuahua doodies" is what you call perfume too? I have learned something today, more England*-slang.

Yep, sadly I've been to one of the places mentioned, although not by name in your post DB. I continue to think it is a sh*t(e for you Englanders)-hole, but not because of the smell(ies).

*England. I did not use "UK" as not to offend everyone..

Smellies you say, if you stand on the train platform you will be puffed fug's smoke into your face anyway. Why not get onion or garlic to immunize yourself instead

I eat garlic smoked sausage with onion philadelphia cream.

I got my Diesel from Coop or Migros malls. Large shops have selection of good smellies! (I like the word "smelly" and cannot resist using it)

I don't think JohnnyLaRock is a girl. Nor, for that matter, is he English. He isn't charming, either...

Or did you mean someone else?

sorry, I meant Mutti01!

duty free generally. I dislike the word "smellies" as much as "bits". The cheapest place I have bought perfume in is on the ferry between calais and dover.t he booze is also very cheap, you can get a bottle of malt for gbp 35 whereas in globus it costs chf 140-

Cosmetics: Bobby Brown counter at Globus
Why: only Globus and Jelmoli stock them (I prefer Globus)
Smellies: used to be at the duty free
but I don't travel as much now that I have 2 little kids. I tend to buy most of them now from the Pharmacy near where I live as its more convenient than going into Zurich city.
