  • Has anyone found a gucci by gucci copy?
  • Has anyone come across anything that smells similar to Kenzo Pour Homme? It's very difficult to buy in the UK...

    Alerted to this site through Latest Free Stuff on Facebook earlier today. They seem to do EDPs (for men) and Parfum (for women) concentrations - sent off for the scented pages samples earlier.

    Anyone had any experience of them, and do they do dupes? https://www.sangado.com/

    "Our perfumes have 12 hour-longevity" https://www.sangado.com/content/4-about-us

    I try to buy pure parfum whenever I have the option!

    The only (short) Forum mention I can see so far is from Fragrantica http://www.fragrantica.com/board/viewtopic.php?id=130847
  • I have desperately fallen in love with the la vie est belle perfume by Lancôme, I know there are multiple scents by Lancôme called la vie est belle but I only like one of them. I haven't quite worked out which one it is out of the three of them but I know it definitely isn't the tall one, so it's one of the shorter ones, are there any smell alikes for this perfume? As I know people who have a very similar scent but it definitely isn't the Lancôme brand. Is there a cheaper smell alike than the actual la vie est belle? Thank you :)

    There's also base notes mentioned a few times in the thread here and there
    http://www.basenotes.net/ (at least I know I've mentioned it a few times!) Not bought anything from any of the sites but they do help me understand the notes in certain perfumes and if they are with sampling if I am a store selling them.
  • Is there a nice smell-a-like for men? they all seem to be about women here :)

    Hello Everyone!!
    It doesn't matter whether you are a man or women , all want the fragrance coming out from the body. And it's natural human behavior .
    I used so many air perfumes but mostly all of them were very costly and even some perfumes have very irritating smells which caused headache. I wanted perfumes which are cheap but have good natural fragrance also.
    So, for this I asked my friend and he suggested me the Nyassa's Air Perfume. Should I use this?
    I am a bit confused. Please help me.

    Thanks.
