Dkny be delicious (green one) was my go to scent when I was in my late 20s and I had a few compliments on it

Mother in law came up to me and sniffed my neck!! When wearing lady million, she also sniffed me a few more times that day asking if I was sure it wasn’t something more expensive 🙄

my favourite scent is Chanel No 5 and I’ve had a few compliments when out and about. However I’m yet to find ‘the one’

Okay so my impulse purchase of Miss Charming arrived today. Initial impression was that smoky patchouliness that I’m not keen on but it’s settled down and the rose is lovely (sorry not sure of proper perfume terms!). So it’s not Stella but it’s a good alternative I think.
I’d never heard of Juliette has a Gun and would like to try some of the others in the range too.

DKNY Pure Verbena.

On any given day, Chanel no.5 because I still love it after all these years, Opium, ditto and a really good Flowerbomb dupe because I love Flowerbomb but found out through a sample, I couldn't afford to buy a bottle so went in search of a dupe. The dupe is nearly empty so I'm ordering a new one on Friday.

Which dupe of Flowerbomb do you get please?

BaconAndAvocado · 04/03/2023 23:18

I used to wear Womanity by Mugler. Got regular compliments.

I get some compliments, but not as many, wearing La Vie Est Belle.

I'm so pleased it's worked out well. It sounds fab. I'll think about following your lead!

@ThatWhiteElephant Federico Mahora no.20. You can find it on Amazon.

tobee · 05/03/2023 04:21

I always think Womanity is such a poor name for a perfume. Is it a translation issue?

Enko · 05/03/2023 04:23

Cucumber and Earl Grey from Joe Malone. Only thing is I can't smell it on me at all and I don't wear it often due to this but often get compliments when I do put it on.

Fraaahnces · 05/03/2023 04:32

I loooooved Cucumber and Earl Grey, but went through it so fast. It was lovely to wear it to bed in the stinking hot summer time here in Aus.

Thank you!

My favourite which I was always complimented on was Loewe Esencia Femme sadly now discontinued I did pay good money for my last bottle on EBay I am not willing though to pay the silly prices for the last couple of bottle on there from Germany and Spain. I have a tiny bit left and use it for special occasions only.
I recently smelt Molecule 01 on a friend and if anyone can recommend a dupe for that it would be appreciated.
I have never bought a dupe before but after reading the whole of this thread I’m happy to give it a go.

LadyOfTheCanyon · 06/03/2023 07:12

Try this one. A 13ml spray is £8. Because Molecule01 is just ISO E Super, it's very easy to copy. It really is one of the perfumes where there's not a huge amount of reason to buy the original.

I can’t smell it at all on me!

It smells like white pepper and dust on me. Sold it.

I think you can buy a Discovery Set of Juliette has a Gun samples, at least you used to be able to. They're a bit marmite....
(I really disliked Oil Fiction which had been raved over somewhere)

Escentric Molecule 01
I would LOVE to know what others think of this scent... have you smelt it on someone else, and can describe it? I have just thrown out the remainders of my bottle (after 8 years, it's gone off) but whenever I wore it I could smell violets/powdery iris (and it wasn't faint either!)
I smelt it on a parent at the school gate the other day, it smelt exactly the same!

Anyone else had different notes come off it?

toastfiend · 06/03/2023 10:49

Jo Malone Honeysuckle and Davana is the one I'm often complimented on when I wear it. I do like it but I can't smell it on me at all after about an hour so I'm not sure whether it doesn't last or I just go nose blind.

My friend wears Molecule 01 all the time. On her, and me, it smells very warm - like a dry amber. I get no iris at all and def no violets.

The perfume parlour dupe is spot on but as someone said earlier there's no reason not to dupe this perfume as it's just ISO E super. PP also sell a molecule 02 dupe but I have no idea what it smells like as I'm anosmic to it!

Gucci bamboo
Caroline Herrara good girl (the original one)
Lancôme Idôle

I love perfumes & always have loads. Zara dupes, next perfumes, M&S ones as well as branded perfumes & I've finally stopped at these 3 perfumes as they're the ones I've been repeatedly complimented on!

🤣 Very specific smells there. So funny!

My friend smells divine wearing Angel- it literally smells like cat piss on me 🤣

I love this thread. Going to order. For £8 it's worth a sniff. If it's no good, can pass it to my girlfriends.

Is there a Stella dupe on this site does anyone know?

As I've said the Eden dupe is pretty good, but £25 plus p&p it's a pricey gamble.

Puffalicious · 06/03/2023 19:41

I've found it. I like that they have 3ml oil roll ons for £3. Might order s few. Anyone had the oils? Good idea or best to stick with the sprays?
