    Does anyone know anything about Virtualbrands perfumes? They are exceptionally cheap, but are they any good?

    The only one I bought is called High Buzz! It's like Hugo Boss. Even my sons were fooled and they have expensive tastes! It doesn't last long though but at £1 a bottle you can afford to spray it liberally.
  • Wow, a £1 a bottle - that's cheaper than cheap!

    Thanks, Magic.

    Anyone know a cheaper alternative to Vera Wang Princess. I have the perfume palour version but its still a little expensive.

    Was wondering if the likes of Milton sells something that smells similar.

    Doesn't have to be Milton it can be any brand just want to keep it under £5 for 50ml/100ml.

    Also anyone know if Creation Lamis Buenavista Ace Mens Spray really smells like DG The One for men. Love the smell for my partner, that and Joop Homme are the only mens fragrance I can stand. The rest smell like some form of whiskey/vodka or Tabacco.

    My local £1 shop sells one called Princess Victoria pour Femme. It smells pretty close but I don't know how it lasts, I haven't tried it. Its 100ml for ....guess how much....that's right, £1. Or look on eBay.

    Realised after googling for about 10 hours Princess Victoria pour Femme that its from the 99p store. Got one in my city centre so going to pay a visit. Nearly paid £4 for it off ebay :S.

    I am having a few issues with the other perfumes though. The websites where you can buy linn young and saffron all have very expensive delivery. One even said no orders under £100. On ebay they are £5+ and amazon.

    Milton Lloyd is reasonable but I really want Linn Young-Updo Chic, Linn Young sweet & Sour carbon and Saffron Jibe.

    Anyone know a nation-wide shop that would sell these? I live in Liverpool so if anyone knows a shop in this area that sells Linn Young and Saffron or even Milton Lloyd be grateful. Have bought from perfume palour before but its a little on the expensive side.
  • I have come across a website which sells some Linn Young, Saffron and Milton Lloyd perfumes. However many items you purchase, the delivery charge is only £2.50, so it is worth stocking up!

    Unfortunately, I have just been told I cannot post a link to this website, so you will have to search for yourselves.

    Sorry!

    I've tried the Ghost and the Mademoiselle ones and they are spot on too.

    Does anyone know the name of the Milton Lloyd equivalent of Madamoiselle???
