I've just received my first purchase of 3 perfumes and they are fantastic, all 3 smell exactly the same as the original! I'm a convert

I have recieved my order today, i got 5 for £8 and i bought:

Shalimar...smells exactly the same, even my mum who wears the real mcoy said it did.

Feminine...smells the same to me.

Issey miyake...cannot tell the difference at all :T

I got 2 for the hubby

1 Million..wouldn't say exact as 1 million is very strong but a muted down version, i am happy with it.

Hubbys fave Farenheit and this is a brill smell a like which i was surprised as its a very distinctive smell.....So i am over the moon cheers :j

The oils can stain clothes (I had one leak in my drawer, so i know) - I wouldn't recommend putting the oil directly on your clothes.

You can smooth it through your hair if you want - though some oils can be a bit thick and sticky. I'm very blonde and the perfume oil doesn't show. Though never get it near your lips, nose or eyes - as I did once, ouch!

My brother buys perfume oils for all his children, dilutes it with alcohol and dispenses it into a spray bottle. I'm not sure if you could get alcohol in UK. He was living in Thailand at the time and alcohol is readily available in the supermarket.

You can use Vodka.

I literally squealed when I found this thread.

THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU.

Their site is down at the moment and the note says they would be back on 25th June - eek!

I think I may email them and ask when the site is up, and also to tell them I heard about them at MSE.

Also, is anyone with me when I say it would be fantastic if they produced a "type" of YSL Parisienne?

Perfume Parlour is only a small set-up so Amir could well be on holiday which is why they are not taking orders at the moment.

Be patient child. Good things come to those who wait:A

Inspired by all the good feedback - I have just ordered 5 for £10
Anais Anais
Joy
Lou Lou
Knzo Flower
Youth Dew
I love intensely floral perfumes - especially with old fashioned flowers - rose/lily of the valley/violet . . . but I am sticking to old favourites with my choices - can anyone suggest more modern florals?

I was hoping to find Eau du Soir by Sisley on perfume parlour. I was v disappointed that it wasn't there!
