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.
Think that's the thing with most perfumes tho, have to be worn a wee while until u get a real sniff of what they will smell like on you.4 Stones and 0 pounds or 25.4kg lighter :j0 -
Well I put more on today for work and I have decided that I do actually like it. I think I am going to buy another bottle - happy daysKarma - the consequences of ones acts."It's OK to falter otherwise how will you know what success feels like?"1 debt v 100 days £20000

Just realised which one it is your talking about. My x bought my 21 yr old some of this and she absolutely loves it. Not really my cup of tea, but really rather nice for the money4 Stones and 0 pounds or 25.4kg lighter :j0

Why the hell has my post been deleted from this thread? Nothing offensive in it at all.... Pretty rude to delete a reply and not bother to explain why.0

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.
Hi
Well if was a good day for me.
Lidl did allow me to carry out a blind test, in fact the store manager gave me a box of 36 bottles at cost price of Suddenly Madame Glamour on sale or return just incase anyone wanted this as long as i did not sell it over £3.99.
80% of those who tested preferred Chanel Coco Mademoiselle
15% of those who tested preferred Suddenly Madame Glamour
5% of those tested could not decide which they preferred
out of the 36 bottles of Suddenly Madame Glamour i used just under 3 bottles in the test and sold 5 bottles.0 -

how many people in total?
Thanks0 -
My wife bought a bottle of the Lidl perfume to try and my daughter took it off to uni with her! Took ages to get a replacement as it sells out so quickly.
She's studying fashion by the way so is a bit fussy about these things normally.0 -
So twice as many as the one reported in the Daily Express.
Means that 95% of 150 people (142.5) preferred Lidl, 80% of 300 (240) prefered Chanel.
Or to put both together:
245 prefered Chanel and 187.5 preferred Lidl.
Not a particularly resounding success for Chanel against a £3.99 'rival'.
I wonder if the Daily Express trial and your trial were just asking people to spray, smell and choose or if the guinea pigs were asked to go away and come back and choose.
Years ago my friend used to wear Ysatis and it smelled lovely.
I tried some on in Gatwick duty free and though it smelled nice.
Luckily, I decided to have a wander round before buying.
15 minutes later, I was in the toilet vigourously washing it off because the smell was making me feel nauseous.
I still say - if you like it then buy it.
If you don't like it, don't buy it.0 -

If you don't like it, don't buy it.
And personally I'd place more reliance on a blind test carried out by an "independent expert" rather than one carried out by a retailer who clearly has a vested interest in getting one particular result.0
