Cheap Smell-alikes - Cheaper alternatives to Expensive Perfumes

Sezzagirl

Hi

I'm sorry if this info is already in the thread somewhere - there's so much of it! and it might be a bit backward but I really like M&S Truely Cherish - in a blue bottle - and wondered of this is a copy of anything fancy?

I might be in line for a special gift and wondered if this might be it?

Thanks

Its an Oriental Floral, very similar to Flowerbomb, and some say its a bit like Angel. If you love TC, you'll probably love the designer ones too.
Whatever you get I hope you enjoy it

Hi Sofababe.......have you come across anything that is similar to Creed's Royal Oud?

I love this but really can't bring myself to pay the price for it.

I've never seen a dupe of Royal Oud, with Creed being niche its unlikely that there would be one. Most dupes are of popular fragrances, the type you find in the main chemists/department stores.

My only suggestion would be to email Amir at Perfume Parlour to see if he can get one, they have a few Creed on their list so you might be lucky.

All these votes for perfume parlour have intrigued me, i have just ordered whiff (white linen) my absolute all round favourite perfume, i hope it smells very similar, also ordered debate (daisy) and propose (prada) for my daughter. Hmmm, so much for not treating myself this month, well it is my hubbys birthday today, so thats a good enough reason i suppose.

I had a copy oil of White Linen when I very first started to use Perfume Parlour as I was very fond of the original. I must admit it was one of the few oils I have had over the years which did not really work. This was quite a while ago so it may well be that they have got a better copy now.

Thanks Pattycake, i should have asked before i purchased really (but i'm too impatient and impulsive ), but it's worth a try. I'll let you know what i think when they arrive

I can't recall ever seeing any SALs of Anna Sui fragrances at all but there are plenty of Chanel No5 copies around.
I've used 3 different Chanel-alikes from Milton Lloyd and they've all been bang on. A friend of mine used to have their No5, which is called Vogue, and it seemed pretty close to me although I don't like No5 personally.

- i.e. with lots of longevity and projection? I have tried several oils. I have mature skin and love fragrances like Clinique Eau Dynamisante and Annick Goutal Eau d'Hadrien, but I find that they wear off very quickly, even with body lotion underneath. And I hate fragrances which seem to be very much based on chemicals IMO as they give me a headache (tried a Vivienne Westwood one yesterday - Alice something - made me feel bit yeuch but did hang around though!)

Any ideas? Oh, I have some oil which is a dupe of Clinique Aromatics Elixir. This isn't bad at all for staying power but is a tiny bit overpowering for daytime I think. In my youth - lol - always found that Estee Lauder fragrances were quite good for lasting power.

Thanks.
