Sounds delicious


what perfume did you order? I’ve tried a la rose by MFK and it was nothing special imo, just a true rose scent, no depth

I bought Parfums de marly La rosée instead
I went into a PDM store last week when I visited London and tried the La Rosee. It reminded me of a lighter version of Delina. I really liked the fragrance and it’s now on my want list

.
I also had a sniff of the Valerya (I think?) which is completely different to delina. I found it to be really clean musk scent. Also really lovely .

I bought 3 Zara perfumes recently -
Cherry Smoothie - a dupe of Tom Ford Lost Cherry . I think the Zara version is actually better than TF . Much better performance overall ( I own the TF version as well) . Not much to seperate them other than the Zara version smells a little more Smokey.
Rose Gourmand - this is a knock off of the montale intense cafe ( which I also own and didn’t pick up until I had sprayed). Started off more of a rose note but then changed to a sweet coffee scent. Another great performer.
Hipster Oud - have been on fragantica about this but there wasnt much Information on what it’s a dupe of. I find the scent to be a little spicy which then dries down into a Sandlewood smell.Again another great performer.
all were 30ml for £11.99 each which I think is a really good price .
I also bought maison matine - Hasard Bazar £60 for 50ml from liberty’s. This scent starts off sweet peppery then dries down to a vanilla / rosey smell. Performance wasn’t amazing but I don’t feel like I was ripped off .
I find i enjoy a lot of the Replica perfumes but other than by the fireplace and jazz club I find the majority to be really poor performers and not worth the price tag. Which is a shame as I like bubble Bath, Sunday morning and under the lemon tree.
