Are M&S fragrances copies of well-known perfumes?

[whatkungfuthat]

I have 'London' on one wrist and 'New York' on the other and they both remind me of other perfumes. Not ones I usually wear though so I can't identify them. Is this deliberate or is it just me?

Nope, they're copies. Google will tell you more.

Thanks Pinot

i had 2 of them. found that they only lasted about 5 mins so whilst cheap to buy weren't actually that good value

They used to do a range that smelled exactly like eau dynamismante, it was really lovely

I think New York is supposed to smell like RL Safari. It did fade very quickly

They are like other perfumes but they arse not very good. I so miss being able to afford nice perfume.

That makes sense as their make up used to be made by clarins. Not sure if it still is.

Yes. The men's too. Friend is a perfumer. She tells me things!

I found this out via a website. Might have been money saving expert. If you type in smells like perfumes. Smells a like, something like that. They have a long thread about what smells like what. What I found out is actually they don't. Not really and they don't last very long.

perfume parlour is meant to be good, and cheap.

levantine i remember that one - bought it a lot

I think their Isis was meant to be like Issy Miyake, wasn't it?
