Cosmetic/perfume dupes

I recommend the Perfume Parlour website for dupes. There's a huge selection, and very reasonably priced. I've bought from there quite a few times.
Went on it after this post and got dior addict and flowerbomb dupes. Really impressed with dior addict one, smells the same and lasts for absolute ages. Less impressed with flowerbomb, don't think it smells exact and it's quite weak but to be fair both cost me 8 quid for 30mls so can't complain 😂

thanks for this - I just got a Gucci Guilty dupe and it's really similar so I think I'll wear this during the day and keep the proper one 'for best'. :ROFLMAO:

Oh that's great that you tried that company, and that you're pleased with what you bought 😃
I have so many oils from them that I had to stop buying them! The vast majority that I bought really did smell like the original. Only the odd one didn't or wasn't nice, I remember that I didn't like the Lime Basil Jo Malone dupe.
My favourite oil of theirs is Absolutely Amber, it's not a dupe, I think it's a Middle Eastern style perfume. It smells kind of like incense and I always get complimented on it, when I wear it.

I ran out of time replying to you because I went upstairs to look through my Perfume Parlour stash 😅
I looked at their website too, and I was wrong about Absolutely Amber, apparently it is a dupe of Amber Absolute by Tom Ford. They used to sell Middle Eastern style oils and I thought it was one of those.
I tended to shop by notes and discovered dupes of expensive perfumes that I'd never heard of before and ended up loving.
For example, Moss Breaches, and the dupe of Baiser du Dragon, which I get loads of compliments on, they're both incensey too.

Milton Lloyd do perfume dupes. I use Vogue (Chanel No 5) and Jean Yves to Go which smells just like Gucci Rush. If you look on Ebay, you can buy six of the same perfume (55ml bottle) for £21.99. Just bought six more Vogue today. Milton Lloyd Summertime also smells like a slightly lighter version of Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb. There are loads of different ones, but not all smell like the real thing. https://smell-a-likes.com/brand/milton-lloyd/3
Is the number 5 one close to the original? For the Tom Ford and it’s beautiful x
 
Does anyone know a dupe for Tom Ford Lost Cherry perfume? I had a sample of it once and absolutely loved it, sometimes you can get atomisers of it on ebay but they've been thin on the ground for a while.

I think The Perfume People do one. I can’t say whether it smells like it but I’ve bought a couple of ones from them for scents I wore that had been discontinued and have been pretty happy with them. You can also buy small quantities for a few quid.

Perfume Parlour is brilliant but I find the rollerball oils last longest. Their Issey Miyake is spot on, you genuinely cannot tell the difference and I can put it on in the morning and I can still smell it last thing at night.

Yes, I’ve tried Perfume Parlour and it was great. Just recently tried Essence Vault and was really disappointed.

I am addicted to The Essence Vault 444 bought on a whim as I like cherry. Never smelt the Tom Ford though so couldn't say how close it is to the real thing.
 
Can anyone recommend any good cosmetic/perfume dupes? I've tried some of the Aldi skincare range and been really impressed so want to try more :)

Really like the scent from here. I’ve had the black orchid. Love don’t be shy and angel.

Got the bundle and paid on Klarna so I felt les
guilty.

Anyone know of a dupe for Espa Overnight Hydration Therapy? I got this as a subscription gift from a magazine and its the most amazing face mask i've ever had but its finally run out and i'd rather try and find a dupe first before spending the £40 on a new one.

You will have to take a wild shot at what they’re duping but Islamic oil perfumes have some amazing fragrances and are often 10x stronger and lasting than the real thing and 10x cheaper too. Look at Al Rehab and Al Azeera on EBay.

The Lidl Suddenly perfumes, although really nice and convincing. They are ever so subtle and last no more than 5 minutes.

I really rate Lacura Aldi. I like their dupe of Elizabeth Arden’s hot cloth cleanser and the Pixi tonic glow rip off!

The pound shops version of lady million, smells exactly like it. Think it's called queen in million.
