Hey sofababe - good to hear from you. :j

OK. This is a fairly new fragrance but perhaps someone knows a duplicate of Viktor and Rolf Flowerbomb for men. Come to think about it, it could have been SPICEBOMB.

I was accosted in Debenhams in Oxford street and sprayed with this stuff. Initially, I thought meh but over the day it just became a wonderful smell.

The only place I know that sells a Spicebomb replica is Perfume Parlour. It is back in stock but unfortunately I am yet to try it. I am coming near the end of my 5ml decant so need to get one to do a fair comparison before I run out.

It would be nice if they also stocked V&R Antidote which is one of my favourites but you can have it all.

Recently tried Diamante by Virtualbrands - very weak and watery, with absolutely no staying power whatsoever! But I guess you get what you pay for ...

Are all Virtualbrands perfumes so nothingy?

Hi :]

I joined just to say a big "thank you" to the OP that recommended Perfume Parlour! I'm so pleased to be able to buy lots of lovely perfumes but without the extortionate price tags.

I ordered 5 little bottles after reading all of your positive comments and I'm very happy with the oils! They smell lovely. The only one that I felt didn't match up to the original is Angel, which is a shame because it's in my top 3!

Does anybody know of anywhere that sells a really good copy of it?

Thank you. X

Is there a dupe for Kenzo L'Eau Par Pour Homme EDT?

I like Kenzo smell so was thinking of buying this:

Debenhams are selling a 100ml edt and 100ml Shower Gel gift set for £24.50. While Googling I have found that just 100ml EDT is well over £30.

I don't really want to spend £24.50 if I can help it.

Cheers
Robie

Does anyone know how representative of Hypnotic Poison is FATAL SNAKE MAGICAL EAU DE PARFUM SPRAY BY CREATION LAMIS?

Thanks

scentedellie

Wow, Dave, you really know your stuff!

Thanks for the info.

What about BLUISH EAU DE PARFUM SPRAY BY CREATION LAMIS?
Could it smell like RALPH LAUREN BLUE (now discontinued)?

Bluish is a copy of Chopard Wish, one of my favourite perfumes.

scentedellie

Thanks, sofababe. Is it a good copy?

Wondered where you had got to!

Is there a decent copy of Blue by Ralph Lauren out there (looking for a spray)?

sofababe

I haven't tried it so I couldn't say but Lamis are usually pretty good. Chopard Wish isn't very expensive anyway so I have the original.

The only RL Blue copy I know of is the Perfume Parlour one.

Could the blue Fatal Snake be the Lamis version of Midnight Poison. I've seen it online a couple of times. I can't stand Midnight Poison so I would imagine it is vile! lol.
