Cheap Smell-alikes - Cheaper alternatives to Expensive Perfumes

Carter_2

Just found this thread,no idea why I have never stumbled across it before being close to 3 years old now.

Anyway, I've order 8:

Daisy (have original so will be able to compare)
Euphoria (for a gift/treat)
Baby Grace
Touch of Pink
Stella (have original)
Issey Miyake (so many rave reviews on here I had to try it!)
Ysatis
Flowerbomb (as above with IM!)

Here's hoping I have as much success as everyone else, I'm a real fragrance junkie so will save me a fortune.

PS - what a shame the original poster of the link to perfume parlour has only received 34 thanks......:huh:

They are perfume oils rather than liquid perfume and come in a roll on,there are various sizes.

I ordered 3 different designer(type) ones and they all smell virtually identical to the real perfume.They are very reasonably priced and I see Dolce Vita is on the list so it is worth a try.

thankyou OP for this-seems you have inspired loads of us!!:A

Flowerbomb is perfect but the Coco Mademoiselle is not quite right, it smells lovely but its not quite there. I have so many of these now and have to say that almost every one has been spot on!

Thanks!:D

I might order the spray version of flowerbomb in addition to the oil then (for obvious reasons I won't be buying the real thing it in a shop:rotfl:) if it's that good:D

This site really is my weakness:o although I suppose if you're going to have a weakness its not so bad if you can get a gorgeous new fragrance for £2.25:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I've done really well to resist buying anymore from PP but I did accidently order 2 originals from CheapSmells which should arrive tomorrow. Oops!! I wanted some more Samsara and unfortunately the PP version was 'orrible so got the real thing at a bargain price:T

I have tried three of the sprays. I got Miss Dior Cherie, Ghost and Happy. The first two are fabulous. The Happy smells great but I do not find it to be as long lasting as the other two or as the oils.

I just love the oils and have quite a collection. However, sometimes it is nice to have a spritz of perfume especially round the neck.

The oils are such a bargain and great for travel. I will probably buy more sprays but the oils will be my main purchase I think.

Wow i'm late to this thread. I never knew about perfume parlour til just now and am dying to try them out. I'm a perfume addict so am curious to see if they resemble my fav perfumes. I'm running low on flowerbomb and have tried black orchid(it was Michael Jackson's fav perfume) so will try that too.

Going to order flowerbomb,Black orchid and Samsara:T Will let you know how I get on with them:)

Not sure if you are aware but PP website has offers, 3 for £6 or 5 for £10, including delivery (so a little bit cheaper still than £2.25 each). That's why I ended up with 8. Not that I'm trying to tempt you to buy more...:)

Yes I'm all too aware , the last order I made was 5 for £10 when I only meant to buy 2 :rotfl:
