Thanks I never noticed that before I have ordered Linn Young - Updo Chic as I am a sucker for a pretty bottle. I might order the pp oil as well but I like to spray perfume and not sure how I would feel about using an oil, but I suspect the oils would last longer.

Not tried Linn Young but the PP version of Flowerbomb is excellent. I first got the oil 2ml to try and now have the 25ml spray as its easier to apply. Defo recommend it though.

I ordered some Creed for my boyfriend for valentines day from PP and they are amazing. He already had royal waters from pp and loved it (so do I) and his friend asked him did he have royal waters by creed on as his dad has it. So its obvs a complete smell alike.

I got myself the 25ml spray bottle of Golden Musk as I loved the oil so much ah its just heavenly.

Great thread, does anyone know how I can search just this thread? I would like to find a dupe of flowerbomb but don't fancy reading through all 52 pages to see if it has been mentioned.

Thanks

I bought Milton Lloyds Summertime last week - £3 for 50 ml and I think a good copy - lasts well too. HTH

He owned up kinda had to as only in a minimum wage job so affording £100+ perfume isn't going to happen. His mates have ordered some themselves and also Milton Lloyd the Gold one thats meant to be One Million. His friend said his dad won't even let him borrow any of his creed as it so expensive. So he going to buy the pp vs and be like ha I paid £8 for basically an exact dupe.

My friends and my boyfriends mum and sister also ordered loads from pp. Its such a good website I love the Jo Malone Vanilla and Anise.

I've got about 30 pp oils and 3 25ml spray vs. I haven't even got around to sampling most of them properly.

Just a question I have the One in Love by pp and its blue like the liquid is blue is that normal?

Perfume Parlour - I ordered Pure Poison, Midnight Poison,Gucci Premier and, Gucci envy. I am really pleased with the midnight poison, the Gucci premier and the envy. I am still not sure about the pure poison, i keep sniffing to check and although very similar, I don't think it is exactly the same, maybe needs a little tweaking, or maybe it is just how it smells on me, cannot fault the others though. The communication and service from this company is excellent, cannot fault it, i will definitely be buying from this company again and, recommending to my friends and family.

I've got Pure Poison oil, and the real thing and mine is spot on. I've had it a couple of years tho so maybe PP have a new supplier or something?
