Great 'cheap smell-a-like perfumes' Hunt

  • Hi guys,

    I've found this website Perfume Parlour through this forum and I'm looking after a smell alike D&G Red that will be suitable for vegans and cruelty free.

    I know all M&S perfumes are cruelty free and SFV but unfortunately they don't do any that is a smell alike D&G Red for females.

    I got very excited to see that Perfume Parlour sells D&G Red for females alike and the reviews on it fill me in hope but now I just need to confirm if their perfumes are suitable for vegans before I will place any order.

    Does anyone have a clue? I have sent them an email inquiring but haven't got a reply back yet so came here to ask as I'm dieing of anxiety hehe.

    Thank you

    Liana

    I think it's so horrible it's put me right off any cheapies, funny how we all smell things differently. What I would say is it has great staying power, couldn't get rid of it all day, Chanel on the other hand has vanished within a couple of hours.
