    Hi Next Define is back on the Next Website but it looks like they've changed the design, can anyone confirm if the perfume smells the same as previous years one which was considered a dupe? Or is this product reformulated with the ingredients having been changed? Thanks

  • I wear Channel Coco Mademoiselle and it is expensive. The cheapest I have bought it is at the airport but it was only a few pounds cheaper.
    I bought Suddenly for £3.99 in Lidl after reading the article in the paper about it being blind tested with the real thing. I know some people will disagree but I think it does smell like the real thing and it is nice to be able to use it liberally!



    This definitely smells like Channel, although some may argue it smalls more like Chance. The reason I say this is that I have had comments when wearing it and no-one knew what I was wearing. One person asked if I was wearing Chance and on another occasion someone asked if it was Coco Mademoiselle. So these were 'blind' tests. They couldn't believe it when I said I was wearing Lidl - or may I should pronounce it Liddell! (even rhymes with it!)

    My favourite perfume is Lauren by Ralph Lauren, but it's been discontinued. Does anyone know of a smell a like?

    Not a perfume but an aftershave: Power by Kenzo. My OH used to use it but it seems to have been discontinued, we've scoured the internet but can only find it for sale on a few very shady looking sites. It had a sort of baby powderish smell and wasn't too strong or overpowering. Most mens aftershaves give me a headache and this was one of the few I have been able to tolerate. I'm so annoyed we can't get it anymore!
    Any ideas for anything similar?
  • Can anyone help out with an alternative to the original boucheron by boucheron, clear bottle with gold lid, I cant seem to get it anymore and its my all time favourite, i'm looking for an alternative to it any suggestions
  • Anyone know of a cheaper copy of Quelque Fleures by Houbigant? Have wanted to try this for a while but too expensive. Thanks
  • Visited my local Lidl this morning and snagged the last two bottles of Woman I which I am delighted to say smells a pretty good dupe for Chanel no 5. I didn't even know it was out yet.
