  • Though you get more for your money with La Femme, I think ML is better value, as the perfume has greater longevity and sillage.

    Thanks. Milton Lloyd it is.
  • Hi guys, I hope it's ok to post this (saw someone else had earlier on), but I have 3 x 3ml bottles of perfume oil from the Perfume Parlour to swap if anyone's interested:
    - Raspberry Vanilla Swirl
    - Vanilla Bean
    - Alluring Women (like Chanel Allure)

    My local Home Bargains is selling some virtual brand perfumes for 89p 50ml. Not sure if nationwide but imagine it will be.

    In my store they had
    Sky Blue (smells lovely and very similar to D&G Light Blue)
    Mademoiselle London (Coco Mademoiselle Chanel, smells kinda similar but others better)
    Dinky Delectable (lovely and fruity from the name guessing its DKNY Delicious)
    Choice (from the smell and also the description think its a smell alike of Chance Chanel)
    Flower (Very floral and think its a smell alike of Kenzo Flower as the packaging is the exact same and name)
    Emporia (Emporio Armani not sure if smells alike as not had orginal but smells nice)

    For 89p can't really go wrong I bought all them :S

    I'm sure Emporia is supposed to CK Euphoria.

    How do these last? I had read that the lasting power is pretty poor.
  • I have tried several of the Virtualbrands scents and find they are a waste of money - no staying power whatsoever!
  • Thanks to reading through all your posts I've ordered 10 3ml bottles from the pefume parlour for £17.I've given up smoking and was saving the cash for a bottle of TF black orchid.Always had a passion for niche and expensive perfume but a poundland budget!!!I wish I'd found this thread earlier it's been costing me a fortune in testers off ebay :mad: I'll post an update when my exciting box of treats arrives :j

    Thanks scentedellie!

    Browsing again and thinking about another order - eeek! Does anyone have any recommendations for a warm vanilla, caramel, sweet kind of perfume, please?

    I really like golden musk; it might be what you are looking for.
