Are any of the websites that offer perfume dupes any good? Essence vault?

M&S has some good ones:
Velvet Rose - Chanel No.5
Soft Iris - Coco Mademoiselle (love this one and get lots of compliments when wearing it)
Midnight Blossom - Black Opium

Zara also has some good ones. There's a dupe for Tom Ford Black Cherry. I love the Spirited Romance too, though not sure if that one is a dupe.

marmaladeandpeanutbutter · 24/09/2023 23:07

I'd like one for Chanel 19, if I could find it.

What is the Euphoria dupe and where do you get it from please?

DwightShrute · 24/09/2023 23:11

Next Just Pink is a dupe for Ralph Lauren Romance.

Perfume Parlour Jo Malones are very good.

I like The Essence Vault - I've got a couple of Tom Fords (Lost Cherry and Bitter Peach) and they do last quite well. Nothing lasts on me for long so quite pleased these last a few hours. Other people have complimented me on them even after I can't smell them anymore. Incidentally, I think Bitter Peach is divine and don't understand why no one seems to know it!!

I'd love to get a dupe of the 2012-ish miss Dior, which was sweeter and muskier than the version that is out now. I was gutted when they changed it - I tried to grab as many bottles of the old version as I could but I've not got any left.

The old original Miss Dior was one of my favourite perfumes. They’ve ruined it completely, smells completely different now.I still have a couple of bottles left which I’m eeking out.

Aldi have a couple, the Lime Basil & Mandarin and the Pomegranate one. Don’t often see the perfume in stock but the hand wash, body lotion & candles are always in stock.

If you like the flowery or fruity Jo Malones, you might like some alternatives that, in my experience, often have better longevity. Roger & Gallet is an old French perfume house that make some lovely fragrances eg Bois d'orange or Fleurs de figuier. Marks used to sell them but often pharmacies do too. Nuxe also make some beautiful fragrances. My favourite summer fragrance 'Le Matin de Possibles' has been discontinued but this year's Nuxe Prodigieux Neroli is a lovely orange ambery scent.

lillie23 · 25/09/2023 13:24

Marksies have some lovely ones. They are normally by the till. I have bought a few, they are lovely.

Yes their dupe of JM Red Roses is good.

ArcticBells · 26/09/2023 06:14

Love perfume parlour but unfortunately they don't sell an equivalent of Jo Malone 154

Long shot, but are there any good Chanel no 5 dupes out there?

L'Aimant by Coty. Been around for years. You can get it in Boots

You can still get Miss Dior original (dogtooth box) but not even the sales assistants always know what you want and will offer up a variety of beribboned and bowed recent flankers.

I've been known to help them rummage in their bottom cupboard to find a bottle. eBay has lots though. Some of it really old. Dior bottles and boxes are also easy to date. So you can get pre 1990 stuff quite easily.

Cotswoldmama · 26/09/2023 10:54

Golden decade by Zara is a dupe for YSL Libre intense
Every time I wear it I get asked what I'm wearing and told I smell nice! Every time!

Flopsythebunny · 26/09/2023 11:01

Sane Scents have some really good perfume dupes. He makes them himself, is not a mlm and I have no affiliation with them.
I always try to buy from a small business if I can rather than a large corporate chain.

SherbetLemonn · 26/09/2023 11:16

Zara’s dupes are pretty good. Not perfect ( but none are!) but I always get lots of compliments on them!

Auldspinster · 26/09/2023 11:51

@marmaladeandpeanutbutter You have a PM.

pinkyponkyplink · 27/09/2023 23:15

What is delivery like for perfume parlour?

Not bad, 2 to 3 days, I think you can pay extra for next day though and you can pick it up if you're in Leicester.

midnighthiraeth · 28/09/2023 10:29

I've used essence vault and found them almost identical and they last very well, tried Zara as well but didn't find that they lasted very well and also didn't smell as similar to the originals as everyone claims.
