J-Lo Glow. I can't stop sniffing myself. Any surprise perfume successes?

I'm a bit of a perfume junkie, and I like reading perfume reviews. I kept reading about how JLo Glow was surprisingly nice, so when I went into town on Monday I got a sample strip.

Got halfway up the road from the shop and turned back. Had to buy it. Couldn't stop sniffing the strip!

It was £20! Which means I'm quite happy to splash it all over and save my 'naice' perfume for best and in the case of Joy for never - what was I thinking?

Any other surprise hits out there that I should watch for?

Mum bod me too. Let's not forget they also make one called dirt

It's nothing original I like Polynesian island and always receive positive comments on it. I also like red musk but when I wear that people say I don't smell like me. I change my perfume like I change my knickers so not sure what my me scent is

uncoolnn · 22/03/2017 17:42

I find Britney Spears ones good. Particularly Midnight Fantasy Smile

Cheesymonster · 22/03/2017 17:54

I have Britney' circus fantasy and get loads of compliments. £5 from B&M.

Itsnothingoriginal · 22/03/2017 18:31

Nor me user - I spend far too much on perfume trying to find my me scent Grin

I've just bought the Nuxe perfume - absolutely amazing! Not too expensive either.

Britney curious or midnight fantasy

Boredbeforeievenbegan · 22/03/2017 18:36

Dh bought me Cheryl Cole's storm for a joke but I really quite like it Blush

CalmItKermitt · 22/03/2017 18:38

SJP Lovely is almost identical to Narciso Rodriguez For Her.

MoreCrackThanHarlem · 22/03/2017 20:36

MumBod if you like a nice vanilla, the Zara Vanilla is lovely, and £13 a bottle. I also like their Dandelion. I wear both for work.

MumBod · 22/03/2017 20:56

Ooh, thanks, will check it out.

The list is getting longer!

I used to wear J-Lo Miami Glow in the summer when I was early 20s. You've made me feel all nostalgic! Just found it on amazon for just under £11. Happy days!

SJP Lovely is almost identical to Narciso Rodriguez For Her.

They're very similar but I think SJP's is nicer tbh.

I once had a bottle of harajuku lovers, I got it on the plane coming back from Portugal about 6 years ago and I loved it. It was about £20 and it's been discontinued now.

Found a bottle on

Crispbutty · 23/03/2017 11:00

Oops posted too soon.

Found some on amazon but it was about £60

user1467976192 · 23/03/2017 13:11

Crispbutty same I had the harajuku lovers perfume in my teens remember them been nice but wouldn't pay £60

imjessie · 23/03/2017 13:36

I wear Tommy girl , I don't have a great sense of smell but people always comment on how nice I smell. It's only about £20 for a big bottle .

Youremywifenow · 23/03/2017 14:42

The original Kate Moss one is gorgeous, it smells like old school Ambre Solare suntan lotion.
Always get it cheap in TJ Hughes (which has some amazing stuff sometimes, I got Urban Decay lipsticks for £3 each).

allfurcoatnoknickers · 23/03/2017 15:26

Rihanna Rogue. I'm such a perfume snob, but I love it. Lovely combination of citrus, musk and suede.

Crispbutty · 23/03/2017 15:28

The most expensive perfume I ever bought was a tom ford. It was gorgeous and I still have the bottle and it has a faint lingering scent. It will be a while until I can afford to treat myself like that again!

Charitygirl1 · 23/03/2017 20:38

YY to Tommy Girl, a cheap classic!
Also the original Lolita Lempicka perfume in the mauve Apple shaped bottle.

WiltingTulip · 24/03/2017 00:50

I've never worn perfume (headache prone) but I walked past a lady who smelt so good I had to ask what she was wearing.

It was SJP ???? I went to the shop expecting to buy the SJP but there were a few to choose from and my nose is useless smelling those cards 😥 I might buy a bottle of the lovely and see....

Orangebird69 · 24/03/2017 00:57

Next's Paradise. £12 for 100ml. It's lush. Doesn't last all day but at that price you can splash it around a bit!

KoalaDownUnder · 24/03/2017 03:57

Yep, SJP's Lovely is my favourite 'cheap but beautiful' scent.

Veronicat · 24/03/2017 06:49

I have a So! perfume for work. £3 in Savers! It lasts all day.
I also have Britney and JLos.
The perfume parlour do a Jo Malone honeysuckle dupe that is lovely.
I'm about to do an Avon order so ill maybe try Percieve.

Misssss · 24/03/2017 06:56

If you're hankering after Jo Malone of Tom Ford Scents, try the Perfume Parlour's oils. They're fantastic dupes and vvv inexpensive. I was sceptical, but someone on MN told me about them. I'm now a convert. They do other brands too. Even my brand snob DP is impressed with their tF Neroli Portofini copy.
