Then you should be very careful about posting comments on an open internet forum that imply that your competitors are selling products that are in someway substandard, as in:



But it does tell us all where you're coming from doesn't it?

well before i place any perfume on my site i will always get testers and test the smell before selling i have had testers for £3/£4 perfumes and they have been rank. i have had testers for £200 perfumes that are rank. i personally dont like the lidl perfumes and would not purchase or sell them, but as stated everyone has different views. i just have a strong sense of smell.

i have not on this forum slagged the lidl perfume like QuackQuack has

Check the internet and you will see many case of cheap drugs causing problems because you are not sure what is contained in them, but that doesn't mean to say that Tesco own brand paracetamol poses any threat to human life

I really must point out the ignorance of this comment.

Medicines - including licensed generics - are controlled by reliable supply chains, designed to keep counterfeit drugs outside of these tight systems. The analogy used is completely irrelevent here, if you buy your meds from unlicensed internet wholesalers it's entirely your own fault.

One man's poison is another man's medicine. We are all unique,we like different things.

I use it,love it and the smell lasts. I have some expensive perfumes I have badly reacted to. Sometimes we pay more for the big name brands not that they are that good.

Some lidl things pass Which and good housekeeping tests. I was watching ITV the other day and they had lidl chapmagne that had passed taste test.

I go to 99p store and buy tropicana juices,tahini paste,jordan cereals,my favourite toothpaste. I know not everything they sell there is good quality but I don't see the point of paying much for the exact things in the big stores when I can get them at the fraction of the price.

Why don't people who don't like this cheap perfume just go buy their expensive perfumes and leave us to go buy lidl £3.99 bottle????

I disagree. You stated that you couldn't "see perfume for £3 being any good" and written of "cheap purfumes causing problems". The title of this thread is 'Praise: Lidls £3.99 perfume' so it's therefore clear which perfume your remarks were directed at. However the real point is that you are a perfume retailer and are selling products in direct competition with Lidl so whatever opinions you hold will naturally be driven by your own financial self-interest.

Because some people make a living selling 'expensive perfumes'?

Well, on the recommendation of the poster, I bought two at the weekend for xmas pressies. They did not have a tester so have no idea what is smells like but willing to have a punt at that price!

cheap perfumes usually cause problems this is why i dont sell them. i have carried out blind tests with the poundland ones which poundland were quite willing to let me and no one prefered the poundland ones to a branded one.

I have a christmas fair on wednesday. i may see if Lidl will allow me to carry out a blind test on Suddenly Madame Glamour and Chanel Coco Mademoiselle ( which is a good seller)

The results of that would be quite interesting.

According to the Express (link provided by antrobus), 90% of the 150 women who tested the Lidl and Chanel perfumes preferred the Lidl one.

I bought a bottle of this yesterday after seeing this thread and have to say that you only need to use a small amount and it lasts a long time - to the next day I found. Not quite sure if I liked at first but it did grow on me.
