Trouble is, the PP sprays are quite expensive for the amount of mls.

Opinions, please.

What do members think of the following smell-alike brands?

Creation Lamis
D & M Fragrances
Dorall
Instyle
La Femme
Linn Young
Milton Lloyd
Real Time
Saffron
Stitch

How are they for sillage and longevity?

Some, of course, are cheaper than others, which I am sure would have an effect on their impact!

I only have experience of Milton Lloyd. Yes, it is good but I find that it doesn't very long with me but this could be different for others.

I too would be interested in other opinions on the company's involved.

Thanks very much for that, Dave.

What about Creation Lamis and La Femme? How do your customers rate these brands?

I've tried Linn Young and Milton Lloyd and would recommend both brands. I've heard good things about Creations Lamis on the perfume lover's forum Fragrantica but haven't tried any of them yet.

Dave, have you thought about (or do you have) an eBay shop?

Pennylane

Not sure if I'm posting this in right place but Superdrug have all their Cacharel perfumes on sale for £10 today. They are usually £25. They've got Amore Amore, Loulou, Anais Anais plus another one, the name of which I can't remember.

Again, thank you for your knowledge, Dave.

Even with branded perfumes, some are good, and others less so. I suppose experimentation will be required to find out which smell-alikes are best.

[FONT=Courier New, monospace]I am very fond of Night Rose by La Femme, which is a smell-alike of Flowerbomb. This perfume has sillage and longevity, and is a dead ringer for the original. Just love the flowery notes (jasmine, rose, orchid, orange blossom and freesia), combined with patchouli and vanilla. Lovely![/FONT]
