Anyone know if they do smell the same? I need another bottle of perfume but might buy a smaller version and use this stuff if it's true.

No of course they don't, unless you've had a severe cold since 1975.

They are perfectly pleasant smells but IMO all have the unmistakable whiff of air freshener about them. They certainly don't dry down in anything like the way the originals do.

I give you the Lidl 'dupe' of Coco Mademoiselle. Nothing wrong with it per se but the claims that is Is ' indistinguishable' from the original are pretty much horseshit.

Sorry, realise I sounded unreasonably harsh.

All perfumes will smell slightly different on people, in so far as I can't recognise the same scent on different friends. So if you like how something smells on you, try it and buy it based on that.

Cheap perfumes will mostly be all about the top notes and wear off before you hit the middle or base notes, so if you like the immediate blast of something, buy it and apply it regularly.

Perfume Parlour do some very good dupes of popular ( and some niche) perfumes for a few quid and almost all of them that I've tried smell better than Superdrug type fragrances.

They might smell nice for five minutes but will have no sillage or longevity.

Ha ha, not a problem. I'm not worried about longevity really. My perfume tends to linger on jackets and scarves etc. It was just to freshen up if I go out straight after work or something.
