Using de nombreux

For the sentence, - J'ai plein de parfums !, would - J'ai de nombreux parfums ! be acceptable.  It was not given as an alternate.

Hi Tom,

Here it is just a question of register the two alternatives given for 'lots of' are -

beaucoup de 

plein de 

and you have to ask yourself what a vendor might say as 'de nombreux' is more numerous .

In terms of register, you would have -

plein de ,

then

beaucoup de,

then

de nombreux

Hope this helps!
