Perfume dupe websites - which is best?

40 replies

FuckingHateRats · 01/03/2023 15:19

I need to buy some new perfume and, with having less cash to spend, I'm going to try one of those dupe websites like The Essence Vault or Perfume Parlour.

The specific perfumes I want to dupe are Marc Jacobs Daisy (original) and Jimmy Choo Floral, if that makes a difference.

Thanks!

I've used perfume parlour before and always been happy with their dupes

notawittyname1954 · 01/03/2023 16:45

Ive liked the perfumes I've bought from Divain. they do Daisy and currently have a sale but no idea if it is an accurate dupe.

I have quite a few PP dupes and in the main they are really good. They also have such a big range and cover a lot of really niche fragrances which is more where my interest lies. In a blind smell test which was done on a podcast I listened to, PP did very well indeed.

I bought Milton Lloyd Loves Me Loves me Not for someone, they said it was pretty close to Mark Jacobs Daisy. Should only be about a fiver. Try it.

Another recommendation for Perfume Parlour, though I've never tried any other sites. Their bottles are a bit rubbish and cheap-looking, but what's inside smells good

Mumsperfume · 17/03/2023 20:23

I was asked earlier today about Jimmy Choo dupes which has been bit tough to get accurate info on. Will try and provide an update if I can

I didn’t rate the Essence Vault personally - oily, artificial-smelling scents that didn’t really resemble the originals. I sent all three of mine back.

MrsRickAstley · 04/04/2023 07:27

I didn't like The Essence Vault.

I have a couple of FM fragrances (yes it's MLM) and they're ok.

Can't comment on PP. Though it does surprise me how often threads pop up for the PP, almost like advertising 🤷‍♀️

Sparkletastic · 04/04/2023 07:43

Perfume Parlour is excellent

Gymmum82 · 04/04/2023 07:45

I’ve had a few FM fragrances. They are alright. But their Marc Jacobs daisy isn’t so good I don’t think it smells like the original

TwistandSprout · 04/04/2023 07:48

I was left amazed at the food reviews. Non of the ones I picked smelled anything like the originals initially or later.

TwistandSprout · 04/04/2023 07:49

The good reviews. Ugh you wouldn’t want to eat mine

Changeau · 04/04/2023 07:51

I use PP. The Jo Malone pom noir is identical ,can't comment on others.

MaireadMcSweeney · 04/04/2023 07:51

Perfume parlour - I've had a few from them. Pomegranate noir is good and they also do Gucci envy which you can't buy now and smells identical.

Another for PP.
I have about 50 and none have been duds.

DramaAlpaca · 01/09/2023 23:31

I'm in the EU and get dupes from Divain. I find them good.

BaroldandNedmund · 01/09/2023 23:52

Divain. The ones I got from PP were truly dreadful.

Don’t buy too many because they go off far quicker than the real thing.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 02/09/2023 02:27

I bought some from Eden but I don't know what the real ones smell like , I just went by description.

Some were 'ok' but I wouldn't go out of my way to apply them . Others were truely dreadful and I had to wash them off .

roses2 · 02/09/2023 07:34

I also use Perfume Parlour. Good longevity.

I bought one from Divain but it smelt very chemically.

Oleaginus · 02/09/2023 07:43

I have used Divain a few times and Shobi once, when I wanted a Fendi perfume I couldn't get anywhere else. Both are excellent.

Namechangedone · 02/09/2023 08:11

I've just got one from Eden, it's supposed to be a dupe for Gucci flora, it's pretty close but doesn't smell exactly the same, feel like it's missing something. Not bad for £18.99 though!

Susan95 · 03/09/2023 08:32

AR fragrances makes great dupes! in have tried dossier and alt as well but AR fragrances seem to be much longer lasting for me.

Fourlegsandatail · 03/09/2023 08:52

Perfume parlour is fantastic. Their Jo Malone Wild Bluebell dupe is gorgeous

notawittyname1954 · 03/09/2023 09:13

I like divain too. They have sales but postage is quite expensive and it takes a while to arrive. Think it comes from Spain. But then I did order at Christmas to be fair. My daughter says the dupe of the perfume she uses is close.
