M&S Perfume Island Escape discontinued

[IPokeBadgers]

One of my favourite perfumes was M & S Island Escape, it looks like it has been discontinued!

Does anyone know of something similar? Was it based on a more expensive designer brand? It claims top notes of pear and bergamot, with salt sear air and rose petal accords, then driftwood and musk dry down.

I still have a full-ish bottle but prices are already going daft-ish on ebay etc and I'm not overly comfortable buying toiletries and fragrances from there anyway.

Noooo! Just looked and you're right. What a shame and I only have 1/4 of a bottle left. Have you looked in store in case there is any remaining stock?

Which perfume was it based on?

Have been in a couple of stores local to me and not a bottle to be had... Just the Island Sunset version in the purple pink bottle still available.

@justaweeone I don't know if it was based on something else, for a while some of the M&S perfumes seemed to take strong inspiration from designer brands so wondered if this was one of those.

Just trying to work out what might have a similar scent....

Someone told me Avon perfumes are good and produced in the same place once maybe try them

OP just had google, it might be this??
Olympéa Paco Rabanne for women

I love this one too, got it in a beauty bag a couple of summers ago I think.

Googling says it might be similar to this one: www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Paco-Rabanne/Olympea-31666.html

Might be worth a sniff?

@omgthepain
Haven't had much luck with Avon unfortunately, I actually bought three of their perfumes last year but they just didn't work on me.... Couple of sprays of each and I sent them to the charity shop 😂

Going to have to head to the perfume shop and ask for a spray of Olympéa Paco Rabanne then... See if it's along the right notes... And then save up cos it'll be more expensive than my lovely wee cheapie from Marksies! 😁

Try Jo Malone Wood Sage and Sea Salt. Judging by the notes, it's probably the best match.

OP
Markies( haven't heard that in a while, are you Scottish?), if you are ask for a 'wee shoosh'
This is supposed to be a dupe

@missbattleaxe I have had the JM Woods age and seasalt before, it's lovely but I dont think it has the lovely floral notes that are in the middle of Island Escape. But next time I'm somewhere that sells it I will give it another sniff.... What a hardship that will be! 😁

@IPokeBadgers if it is similar to Olympea, get on perfume parlour and buy a bottle of their dupe I have it, and it's lovely

@justaweeone No not Scottish 😉
I'll keep an eye out for that one next time in superdrug 👍

I absolutely LOVE Olympea. Also La Vie Est Belle you may like OP. Don't bother with FM perfumes though, they don't last 5 minutes on me 🙄

La Vie eat Belle is very different from Island Escape. It has a huge caramel note and a ton of patchouli.

Seem some on eBay but I'm not sure how the prices compare.
