Has anyone made a dupe of KL yet ? (I ask this question on these threads every couple of years and the answer is always no, but I live in hope !)

I have lots of perfume parlour dupes, some are closers than others. The Tom Ford ones are great, as are the Jo malone ones that I've tried (all stronger than the real thing).

I've also got ivory gem which is the Armani white (she?) which is close to the real (discontinued) one. I miss that perfume so much though.

I love a few miller Harris scents and don't find the perfume parlour dupes of those particularly good either

Tobacco Vanille , Soleil Neige and Fucking Fabulous by Tom Ford
Angel's Share, Love, Good Girl Gone Bad, Love Don't Be Shy by Killian
Black Opium
Bvlgari Black
Nutmeg and Ginger, Tonka and Myrhh by Jo Malone

I just googled Perfume Parlour and it says its a shop in Leicester?
There's a website but doesn't look english or professional.

Essence Vault are good but wouldn't say all of them are perfect dupes...

They operate primarily online and have just the one shop I think. I've just had a look and the website has changed since I last ordered but that's definitely them. They're a much smaller enterprise than the companies like EV (orders can take a while to arrive for example)

I love Perfume Parlour's Tom Ford lost cherry dupe, astray fruit. DH wears their Gucci Envy copy, he was gutted when the original was discontinued.

I'm wearing this today! It's gorgeous and makes me feel more confident and a bit sexy, even just pushing a buggy around doing my normal SAHM routine.

I love PP's dupe of Armani Diamonds and Marc Jocob's Daisy - both spot on.

Thanks, I've just placed an order for this. Wow their prices have gone up since I last ordered at Christmas! It used to be £8/bottle and now it's £11.

Does anyone know if there's a dupe for Le Feu d'issy? It's my favourite perfume from early 2000s and I've bought the ones that smell similar to it but they're not 100%

Oh this was my favourite EVER perfume. Sadly never found anything.like it. So sad they got rid of it. I've the tiniest drop left in a bottle.

Etro Etra is the closest I've found to it, it smells really similar but not exactly the same.

I used to love Second edition by Gallery and L’Arome. I remember spraying a perfume in a pharmacy that was a range of dupes beginning with a V. Does anyone know what that range is? Kicking myself I never bought then. Was on holiday.

The Essence Vault do a convincing Halfeti. I get comments on it all the time.

Have you tried Eden's? It's pretty good, but pricier than others - £24 for 50ml.

Dior Poison was lovely when it first came out but like many other fragrances they changed the formula and it's now.

My sister went all out looking for something that smelt like the original and found Milton Lloyd Chacal.

I have also bought it and it smells almost identical to the original Poison. It's much nicer than the Poison of today.

I found a list of some of their fragrances and what they are supposed to smell like.

Just wanted to update this. My initial experience of the dupes was good, but I've found that while the top notes might be similar, they don't smell the same over several hours. The dupes don't last as well and basically all smell the same after an hour or so.
