Essence Vaults? AIBU to imagine that Tom Ford’s Black Cherry parfum might smell remotely the same?

[Seaglass7]

Never bought anything from this company but thought I’d give it a go! Only spent £15 ish.

Anyone else bought a perfume or aftershave from here and was pleasantly surprised?

AIBU to think that a copy of a really expensive perfume would be remotely similar? OR

AINBU to pay a much cheaper price for a perfume that smells similar, doesn’t last as long, but costs a fraction of the price?

Anyone? 🤣😂

I’m 100% not being unreasonable!

Sorry, just amusing myself as I’ve just received an email from Mumsnet stating ‘the votes are in’! 🤣

I bought the inspired by Daisy scent from there.
Pleasantly surprised! It smells v v similar, can barely tell the difference, and it seems to last much longer!

I have the Tom Ford Neroli perfume from Essence Valuts and I've been told it's very like it. I wouldn't know if it was but for £15 it suits my budget. I also have the Molecule one (can't remember it's name) and I love it. I got them both on a 2 for 1 deal.

I bought the lost cherry dupe from essence vault. Its lovely, very long lasting. However, Zara Cherry Smoothie is much nicer.

Thanks for your replies! Fills me with hope that it’s going to be a good choice!

Still waiting for it to arrive! Hopefully it’ll be here before Christmas!

I am tempted to buy the Marc Jacob’s decadence spin off but I’ll wait and see what you think first 😂

I find the majority of dupes tend to smell similar to the real thing when you first put them on, but then as the top notes fade so does the similarity. I guess if you still like how it smells afterwards even if it’s not the same as the original then that’s all that matters really.

I've never tried Essence Vault but used to sell FM a few years ago... Tom Ford Lost Cherry was my favourite perfume! I'm not sure if its a gift for yourself or for someone else but I certainly wouldn't be offended if I recieved a dupe for Christmas!

I have the halfeti dupe.

Smells better and lasts longer than the original- I have both x
