And Paul Smith Rose, forgot that one.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 13/10/2019 19:47

I like Paul Smith Rose but it has no staying power.
Clarins red one.

Yoollyball · 13/10/2019 19:48

Oh - I'm looking for a rose that doesn't smell harsh and artificial.

NutellaQuest · 13/10/2019 19:51

YY to Paul Smith Rose. Is v nice.

Hoooo · 13/10/2019 19:56

Avon little black dress (and flankers)

Avon mesmerize for women (soft oriental...perfect for work)

Avon soft musk delice - musk and chocolate

Perfume parlour - dupe of mmm by the fireplace. Indistinguishable from the original. Also do amazing dupes of opium and rive gauche. I'll never buy the "real" stuff again.

Next cashmere and eau nude.

The body shop Black Musk - woody, spicy and musky!

Also I get lots of compliments on Britney's Fantasy & Midnight Fantasy as well! I want to try the intimate edition too!

Yeahnahyeah1 · 13/10/2019 21:12

Britney Fantasy here too 👋🏻

thecatfromjapan · 13/10/2019 22:29

Another vote for the Primark Jo Maline dupes.

LellyMcKelly · 13/10/2019 23:19

The Primark Jo Malone dupes are identical. The scent lasts for ages too.

Bellasblankexpression · 13/10/2019 23:20

Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker.

Themarvellousmrsm · 14/10/2019 07:58

The Jo Malone pomegranate dupe from Aldi - a present from one of the dc's - I get comments every time I wear it

LionelRitchieStoleMyNotebook · 14/10/2019 08:45

Marks and Spencer Rosie by autograph there are three different ones now and all get compliments, EDP and about £20-£25 a bottle!

fantasmasgoria1 · 14/10/2019 08:55

I sometimes buy perfume from the chemist. It's by verset and there are many to choose from. I like charm, radiance and elle. I can't remember what the are supposed to be similar to but I have had a lot of positive comments about them. It's £4.50 for 15 ml, £10 for 50ml and £20 for 100ml. They are massively popular!

thecatfromjapan · 14/10/2019 09:32

I'm going to admit it.

I think the Primark 'Lime Basil and Mandarin' dupe is better than the JZm original.

AliceLittle · 14/10/2019 09:58

@thecatfromjapan The jasmin and honey one is too.

CileyMayRhinovirus · 14/10/2019 10:00

I get compliments on my perfume a lot when I am not wearing any. Its a combination of washing powder, fabric conditioner, deodorant, leave in hair conditioner, hand cream and cocoa or Shea body butter.

I smell even better with perfume on though Grin I buy a bottle every 2 or 3 years and just put a tiny spray on my wrists and Dab on my neck. Seems to basically last forever, but I'll buy a new one for some variety

Norfolkenchancemate · 14/10/2019 10:05

@fantasmasgoria1 I have a verse one, it's a men's one, it's amazing and I literally have at least one person every day tell me I smell nice! I've gone from a £79 for 30ml perfume to this and get more compliments on it!

7Days · 14/10/2019 10:08

The Jenny Glow range, Jo Malone dupes. Last better than the originals, too.
