    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.

    Anyone found anything like J'adore or Farenheight?

    Perfume-Parlour do a J'Adore dupe called "Jade". Going by part experience it's likely to be a very close match.
  • 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! :)
  • Wish I'd found this forum sooner!

    Can anyone suggest a good copy/smell-alike of Stella In Two Peony?

    Thank you.
  • What a fab thread!

    Has anyone found a smell a like of Hugo Woman or Jimmy Choo please?

  • 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. :j
