Virgin Islands water by Creed. It's v v pricy but the perfume parlour does an excellent dupe. It smells of lime and coconut

I bought the tiny roll on for £2.95 and it is GORGEOUS! Thank you for suggesting it Smile

@Grimtimes I've just seen the dupe of that on perfume parlour, for the price it might be worth a try. I've never used it myself but have read good reviews on here.

Ooh thank you...never tried perfume parlour...Will give it a go x

SJP NYC is very summery

Bobbi Brown Beach is just that, it’s lovely.

There was something called Sel de Vetivert, by The Different Company, and it was a salty beach smell. A bit niche though, not sure if it’s still around.

Perfume Palour does very good and very cheap dupes of lots of perfumes. Well worth a go!

@Grimtimes Are they good dupes? I think I might treat myself to the escada born in paradise and Gucci envy.

MrsAHotch · 18/05/2018 00:15

Without reading the full thread, Tom Ford - Neroli Portofino. Can’t afford a luxury holiday at the moment but can certainly smell like one!

"Time to draw the raffle numbers" 4160 Tuesdays. I wore it today. I really does smell like melted tarmac, tobacco and the heat rising off the streets of Paris on a hot July summers day. Gorgeous.

RosinaAlmaviva · 18/05/2018 01:05

Fragonard Soleil.

Anything Yvette Rocher is amazing by Daisy for summer.

ItsalmostSummer · 18/05/2018 02:15

*but Daisy by Marc Jacobs is beautiful and summery

@FriendlyOcelot
There's a dupe of New West on Perfume Parlour. I've got it and it's lovely.

Grimtimes · 18/05/2018 07:16

@userxx yes they are...very happy

FriendlyOcelot · 18/05/2018 07:47

@enourmousdormouse

Thank you, what a great idea! I didn’t think to look there 🤗

FriendlyOcelot · 18/05/2018 07:48

Sorry - typo @enormousdormouse

YouAreNotImportant · 18/05/2018 08:23

I bought 4160 Tuesdays what I did on my holidays thanks to this thread. I absolutely love it!
