Cheap Smell-alikes - Cheaper alternatives to Expensive Perfumes

dpixie

xoxo - thanks for the advice. following your advice i have placed my order, and have gone heavy on the oils (8mls) and light on the sprays - only bought 1 (to keep in my bag for top-up) instead of 3! i am soooo excited, i can't wait to get the delivery even though i have all of the oils already (i am very low on spring - the creed smell-alike, which i think is so fab that its going to be my main summer scent).

Shame I was going to order Cabotine and Ghost is sold out too! Will have to try something else.

I'm absolutely gutted that they're not doing the Cabotine-alike any longer. Still, I've got the Creed Spring Flowers one and that's totally delicious. The Orange Blossom one is, too.

Luckily Cabotine (the real thing) isn't expensive so I'll probably get some when my oil's finished but I don't know what I'd do if PP wasn't around. Smell the same everyday probably like I did before I discovered PP

Just discovered this - sadly they don't have my favourite perfume (a Benefit one) but I've ordered their vanilla and vanilla bean ones in the hope that they smell something like the Body Shop's vanilla stuff from yeeeaaaars ago. I loved that stuff!

i have just finished my 3ml spring flowers (creed smell alike) so, having read minniethemoochers post, i tried the ghost - wow, it is lovely, i cant stop smelling myself. the horrid thing now is that i have to make a decision about what to wear each morning. if you only have a couple, you can have one for summer and one for winter, much easier, but with all this choice .... it really does make life difficult. have decided though, will definitely buy ghost again. cant wait for my next order to arrive - perhaps i will call amir and find out what is happening.

I'm pleased to hear that Ghost is good, I'm going to get some for my daughter (its her fave) but its showing as out of stock:( By the time I place my next order hopefully it will be back in.

I know what u mean about not knowing which to wear, between PP and genuine perfumes I have 49!!! :rotfl:

sofababe, i thought that i had a problem, i dont think i would make it out of the bathroom if i had soooo much choice. i now only have some scraps left of 3 old bottles, and then the 10, 3ml bottles and on pp spray - i love them all and feel that i should rotate, but i think as some of them are a little stronger, i will keep them for the winter and use the lighter, floral ones in the summer.

the ghost really is lovely, it has an almost powdery end to the smell, if that makes sense, it is really lovely, i would say that its my favorite after the creed and flowerbomb, i will definitely buy it again, but probably in the biggest size!

The Chanel no 5 type is the closest I have ever found to the original. It doesn't give me headaches or a rash either.

Help - I can't find this one, can anyone give me a pointer please.

Thanks

All the Chanel smell-alikes seem to have disappeared.:(

And Vera Wang...
