So I walked down to the Chemist Warehouse today after I received a catalogue. Remember my previous post on the issey miyake intense deal about my experience of buying perfumes from them the last time? Today I wanted to see how good the Tommy Girl would be for $29.99.
Based on what I smelled out of the tester, I could attest that this perfume is 100% genuine and I've purchased one. I would still not buy anything that cost more than $50 there, but that's simply my personal opinion and YMMV. However, this thing is $29.99 and it's a no-brainer deal.
TG is a pleasing citrus-floral fragrance that most people would find inoffensive and likeable in general. The notes are synthetic to varying degrees, but this should not be a problem to the vast majority of people. Synthetics need not necessarily mean harsh, and I do not mind the synthetic notes in this perfume.
Please note that this is also a Luca Turin 5-star rated perfume (this simply means that it's good thing for those who are not perfume-nerds).

Given the price, this is a fantastic bargain and would make a good gift in my opinion.
Chemist warehouse fragrances are 100% legit.
