Next Diamonds Diva - this one smells like Lady Million by Paco Rabanne, although this might just be my sense of smell rather than it being an official 'copy'. As soon as I run out of the real thing I will be buying the Next 'version' lol

Wow thanks for your help scentedellie, the pack of two looks the best deal seeing as this is really hard to get hold of, I had a look too and its only in a few places.

Have you used this one? I love Amarige but its expensive and really strong, so with a cheaper one you can splash it about and not kill people off lol.

No, I haven't tried this one, but generally Milton Lloyd are pretty good.

I, too, have ordered the double pack, so thanks for making me look!

My sister would love to find an equivalent of Oscar but I have not not read anything on the posts mentioning it. I did ask Milton-Lloyd if they could recommend an equivalent but they were reluctant to make comparisons.

I would love to find a smell-a-like for Fiji - i think it's discontinued as it's very hard to find now but my Mum loves it! Also Ysatis & Mademoiselle (?eau de mademoiselle) by givenchy

Do you mean Fidji by Guy Laroche?
Fidji is still available on line and in some branches of "The Perfume Store" I have also found it in a branch of "The Look".
A cheaper version of Fidji is Revlon Charlie (Blue). I did a side by side test for you the other day as I have both: They are both very similar, the Fidji is less harsh, way more subtle and has less sillage, you can only get the Eau de Toilette in the UK though. Charlie ( blue- blue box) is very pleasant though you'd have to be careful not to overdo it as the sillage is quite strong, it lasts longer than Fidji but is less classy.
I have read on one of the big perfume forums that Charlie Blue was made as a "dupe" of Fidji so that it was available to those who couldn't afford the real thing. ( I am old enough to remember both the first time around!!)
Fidji Eau de Toilette 50mls £26 - 30 ( depending on where you buy it) Charlie Blue 100mls £6 - 10 again depends on where you buy it, but available in most discount perfume/make-up type stores.
