I've just noticed that Killian's Angel's Share fragrance has a better priced dupe...the Ro's Argan range of products by Lush! I couldn't believe how similar they are to each other, especially in the dry down of Angel's Share, and at a minuscule price in comparison.

I used to wear Christian Dior Dune back in the 90’s. Is this still available? I loved it.
A firm favourite of mine; yes - you can still get it.
I don’t think it smells the same
Yes! I loved this too - was a similar scent to Chanel Allure.
Another ex dune wearer. Think Dune was my first expensive bottle of perfume ( I was bought it for my 14th/15th bday)
Safari Ralph Lauren was my go to
Hello @unfinishedsentenc how are you? How was your Christmas?Hi everyone long time no talk. Hope Christmas was good to you allare yous expecting any perfume off your partners on valentine's day? or even as a treat to your lovely single self
sure why not!
I'm on a no spend till at least April. I have a wedding then and I just know I will buy something for itany recommendations? I'm trying to be practical and have pulled out bottles that have bits left that need using over the next couple of months. Prada candy I would definitely repurchase, absolutely love it. I've got another lveb by lancome that I got gifted a year ago so I definitely need this bottle used up. Elie saab in white one of my favourites. Great staying power. Chloe absolu and lady million are OK but wouldn't run out to repurchase. Jm velvet rose and oud is fabulous and the staying power is good for jm.

Hi @HelloStereoHope Christmas was good to you. I end up wearing angels share on Christmas day. Would definitely repurchase! That or musc ravageur would be great for the festive season. I got a 30ml of delina la rosee but would love the 75ml! What's orpheon like? I love diptyque. So worth the £££. I got beach skin body spray by phur and marc Jacobs perfect absolu as gifts over Christmas. Bs will definitely be getting used all over summer
not quite use to the marc Jacobs one yet. It's quite strong
Did you feel very festive wearing Angels Share on Christmas Day? I ended up wearing Rouge Malachite which is my favourite ever and one I bring out for special occasions - such a decadent balsamic white floral.Are you now planning on what perfumes you will begin buying in April for the summer, or will beach skin be your main summer fragrance?
Are Musc Ravageur and Angels Share strong? You know I don't mind a strong fragrance every now and then, especially for going out. But I've been recently gravitating towards skin scents that aren't so overwhelming. I blind bought Sonic Flower that's meant to be similar to Glossier You, and I really like Angel Dust Extrait by Fugazzi and Studied by Liis. Orpheon isn't really a skin scent but sort of down those lines in that it's not too overpowering. It's a sort of powdery woody scent that has a bit of sharpness from the juniper berry. It's really nice and unique and easy to wear I think, definitely one I can spray without really thinking and wear to the office without worrying about it overpowering everyone.
I have a few beast mode fragrances in my collection like Initio Atomic Rose and Le Labo The Noir, and while I love them, I find it hard to find the right occasion to wear them if that makes sense. Like they're only really things I'd wear in cold weather in the night time and as they stick on clothes I can't wear the same thing twice if I want to switch out a fragrance. I used to love that but now I'm not sure if I'm now gravitating towards scents that I can wear most of the time and fade after a while so I can switch them out.
I have a few more samples coming though. I have Musc Ravageur by Frederic Malle, Lilyphea and Tam Dao by Diptyque and two D.S and Durga ones (Debaser and I Don't Know What). I ordered them this evening after a few beers
I always have a spray of this in duty free, reminds me of travelling.
I loved Dune too, such a dreamy perfume ! The tv ad by Dominique Issermann was so beautiful...
Speaking of Dune my fave fragrance i ever got from Duty free years back was Dune Sun, it was fruity/ blackcurrant’y but then dried down to the signature warm sandalwood of Dune, wish they’d bring it back!
I tried it last summer when I was in Italy, and didn't like the myrrh if I remember well.
I wish I could tell you more ! I was in the perfume shop with my niece (she chose Vanitas) and we tested so many from Profumum so it's hard to remember. Their perfumes have insane sillage.
(I went for Acqua e Zucchero which isn't my usual type of perfume at all. It was just impossible to resist.)
I’ve just got Jean Paul Gaultier La Belle Paradise garden and I love it. I’m not articulate enough to describe it but it’s a new favourite.
Oh you’re a star! Thank you, that’s really helpful!
Does anyone know of a good alternative or a dupe for Ella k musk k?
Two options -
glossier - you . £15/£20 a bottle
Room 1015 - Sonic Flower ( this is very slightly different but still close enough to be similar ) - costs about £100 for 50ml
Where are you seeing glossier you for that price?
Eeeek.. am really sorry !
. I just guessed the cost when I replied and when i checked online a few mins ago it’s much more so have got that completely wrong . Apologies @manpyj89 and everyone else! Should have checked the price before I posted🫣
Speaking of cost, I am genuinely shocked by the price of fragrance these days. I was queuing in Superdrug the other day, and a 100ml bottle of Angel now costs over a HUNDRED POUNDS.
