    Just had an interesting time perusing this thread to find out more about the M&S smell-alikes. You can currently get a set of 6 Autograph perfumes for £9 in a half price offer (10ml each). I have found out what 5 of them are meant to smell like but not sure about the last one;

    Isis - Issey Miyake L'eau de Issey
    New York - Chanel Allure?
    Azure - D&G Light Blue
    Ispire - Lacoste par femme
    Blush - Touch of Pink
    London - ????

    Is it wrong that I am buying so much stuff for myself while christmas shopping? :D

    You may find it a lot easier to visit the PP site where you simply type in the name of your favorite scent and read the results. The answer for PP is yes.

    Does anyone know of a replacement for Mystere by Rochas? It is/was my favourite perfume, but sadly it's been discontinued :-(

    Top notes are coriander, galbanum and hiacynth; middle notes are rosemary, carnation, tuberose, violet, orris root, jasmine, ylang-ylang, lily-of-the-valley and narcissus; base notes are styrax, cypress, patchouli, musk, civet, oakmoss and cedar.

    The PP site doesn't have an answer.
    Good enough is good enough, and I am more than good enough!:j
