Cheap Smell-alikes - Cheaper alternatives to Expensive Perfumes

rr755507

Just received an order for 5 x 8ml from perfume parlour and not impressed with the quality of the bottles. They had leaked in the post, meaning the labels on the lids had rubbed off. If you try and tighten the lids they just warp, the rollers on them also don't seem to work too well.

The fragrance themselves are great, and I've had 3ml bottles in the past which were excellent.

I would get back to them and complain. They won't want to see this negative feedback on a website about cheaper alternatives to expensive perfumes!

Chances - Chanel Chance
Sky - D&G Light Blue
Gold Lady -1 Million
Warmth - FlowerBomb
Army Cool - Armani Code
Charm - Miss Dior Cherie
Shadow - Ghost
Stealth - Stella

I had to said bought some milton lloyd perfumes for 1st time, but they seem crap compare to original designer perfume which i actually prefer and ML have awful longevity also bought some from FM fragrance is not so great using edp smell just not there after 1 hour seem pointless buying cheap perfume , complete waste of money. It's hard to finding good brand similar smell for less price.

I've just bought:

Milton Lloyd - Bondage Homme (Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male)
Milton Lloyd - Bondage Temptation (Armani Code)

From scentsationalperfumes.com

Im looking forward to seeing how closely they match the originals for all the men out there, and I'll get back to everyone! I really hope they are good; I dont mind shelling out for the originals, but it gets expensive!

---UPDATE---

Hey guys, they both arrived this morning and I've had a little oppurtunity to see what they smell like. They come in these little spray bottles that are kind of like deodorant cans (a bit quirky and unusual for an EDT?) - but I'm focusing more on the smell comparison than their choice of bottle!

- Milton Lloyd - Bondage Temptation (Armani Code)
This ones not worth buying - I could tell instantly this wasn't a great knock-off
and smell's flat and earthy.
Smell doesn't last very long, smells earthy and flat (not sweet and delicious like Armani Code!) and has no projection.

- Milton Lloyd - Bondage Homme (Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male)
This one is definitely worth buying - all the reviews I've seen are very accurate.
Not sure about how long it lasts yet (I'll give it a test run when I go out tonight), but it smells extremely similar to the original, I can notice a sweeter scent now and then but definitely a good knock-off. The projections good as well.

I would probably use it more as an everyday scent as there is no beating the original, but pair this one up with Perfume Parlour's 'Bondage' Oil for Men and its a really strong contestor!

Hello

I am looking for smell alikes for


Kenzo - Amour Eau De Toilette Florale
This was one of my flavour but Kenzo had discontinued this


Jo Malone - Red Roses, Vanilla & Anise, White Jasmine Mint , Elderflower & Gooseberry
£38.00 for 30ml from Jo Malone is just way too expensive.:eek:


If anyone knows where I could buy a "smellalike" for them I would be very grateful

Thanks in advance

Perfume Parlour have dupes for White Jasmine Mint and Vanilla & Anise but I've never seen dupes for the others, though if you email PP they can often get new ones in so worth asking

This is such a great thread! Thanks to anniewoo for her recommendation all those pages back! I've read through and placed an order with PP - can't wait for it to come. In the meantime, has anyone perfumeoilboutique on ebay? They are also theperfumepeople.net - they seem to have a massive range of fragrances but don't sell a 3ml version like PP does. Quite tempted to order but would prefer smaller bottles to begin with! If anyone has bought from them before I'd love to hear what you think!

Yes, I have purchased from this site, and the oils are fine, as they are from the following provider:
