Great 'cheap smell-a-like perfumes' Hunt
Comments

Hi all
Does anyone know of a smell a like for Hugo Boss Orange for women? I love this, but it's a bit pricey to wear every day...
Thanks!

They have a dupe of it, smells amazing! I bought the spray and believe me, it stays around all day, the smell doesn't vanish at all. 25ml spray is £8, or you can get 3 for £20, or you can get it as a roll-on oil, but I can't attest to that specific perfume in an oil. Although the perfume oils I have tried have been incredible too.:j0 -

I don't know if it has already been mentioned, but I heard from a friend (about a year ago I think) that Lidl were doing a very cheap perfume which smelt similar to chanel! Don't know if this is true or not but may be worth checking out!

Has anyone found a smell a like of Hugo Woman or Jimmy Choo please?St. Francis said: “A man who uses his hands is a laborer. One who uses his hands and mind is a craftsman. He who uses his hands, and his mind, and his heart is an artist.”0 -
I ordered 4 bottles of ML perfume from Xtras last week, £2.99 each and free P&P with orders over £10. I had notification of dispatch within 48 hrs so they will arrive in time to be stocking fillers. I found them on this thread so I'm really excited about getting the family to try them out. If they are as good as I'm hoping I may never pay over the odds for perfume again. Thanks everyone. :j0
