Victor and Rolf Flowerbomb

[Dolallytats]

My daughter bought me some and I love it. The bottle is nearly finished but I can't afford another.

Does anyone know of any cheaper alternatives???

I bought it on Amazon the last time. Was a good bit cheaper. Failing that your best bet is duty free or if you know anyone going abroad, it's probably cheaper to buy.

I don't physically buy perfume here anymore because it's so expensive.

It’s my favourite perfume and I go through it so quickly, I can’t resist spraying it, I do feel your pain.

Last time I bought some I got the body lotion and layered the two products. It does seem to make it last longer.

Apparently Perfume Parlour do a dupe but I don’t know how good the silage would be.

Diesel loverdose (the purple one) smells very much like flowerbomb to me. It's probably slightly stronger and lasts a bit longer as well. It can often be found for around £20-£25 if you shop around.
Killer Queen by katy Perry is also way cheaper and slightly similar.
The perfume parlour oil is also an extremely good dupe and lasts for ages.

My BIL sells FM fragrances and they do a lovely cheap alternative if you know anyone close to you who sells it!

Don't judge me for this but...the pink jewelled Britney Spears perfume is quite a good dupe for it.

A work colleague let me in on the secret a few years ago and I didn't believe her until she came in wearing it one day. It might smell a little sweeter but it's a bargain!

the perfume parlour- what would the dupe be called please?

I’ve just signed up for that Scent Addict subscription the Fragrance Shop do.

You pay £12 a month and get an 8ml (apparently enough for a month, we’ll see) atomiser.

You can choose a new one each month or have the same over and over. No contract so you’re not tied in. The woman in the shop told me for the more expensive perfumes it works out cheaper per ml to buy it this way. Can’t be arsed to do the maths to see if she’s right.

Could be an affordable way of buying. I got Flowerbomb Necter from them for my sisters wedding and it’s lush. Got Tom Ford Velvet Orchid next month.

I was introduced to Eden Perfumes by Mumsnet - I've got the Flowerbomb version and it's just as good as the real thing, think they are £15.

Thank you all so much, I'm going to look into all the alternatives.

It's a shame my budget doesn't match my perfume tastes!!
