Fragrantica is amazing for finding cheaper versions of the expensive ones. I can spend hours on there reading reviews!

Other favourites:

Red Door - Elizabeth Arden
Scandal - Jean Paul Gaultier

Eternity - Calvin Klein
And Estee Lauder used to do a gorgeous perfume called Dazzling Silver, no longer manufactured

I really like Molton Brown Coastal Cypress & Sea Fennel.
But I just checked and it’s expensive. I have the EDT but I got it from an online sale about a year ago. So I didn’t pay anything near the EDP price.
And I tried Michael Kors turquoise recently in a shop and thought that was very fresh (someone else has suggested this too) so that’s on my ‘to buy’ list!
Sorry if sounds daft but I’ve never used Fragrantica. Just had a play around. How do you use it to find cheaper versions - do you find a scent you like and then look at ‘others liked’ -and just plough through?

Has anyone smelt Tom Ford Ebene Fume?! WOW
Anyone ever tried Scherzo by Miller Harris... It's following me around, I keep seeing adverts for it every where.
I love Pomegranate Noir. When I started buying it about 6 years ago it was £58. Expensive but I loved it.
Now it’s £102 and I refuse to spend as much as that.

I have never come across Jo Malone's perfumes though I know people rave about her range. I happened to be in Selfridges the other day waiting for someone and spotted her counter. Having enjoyed this thread so much, I decided to try out the scents. I chose a few at random and put them on the blotting sticks and labelled them. Later I took them home and stuck them in a drawer underneath my computer. My goodness! Even days later, every time I open my drawer, I am hit with the most glorious aromas. These perfumes are long lasting.
I chose English Oak and Hazelnut (which s my favourite); Jasmine and Marigold, Myrrh and Tonka Bean and Velvet Rose and Oud.
I am horrified at the cost of them! Even the body creams are £66. I know why though. I don't think I've ever seen them on offer either.
My Etat Libre D’Orange sample box has arrived. So excited.
I tried the first one: Jasmin & Cigarette. Very nice. Intriguing and long lasting. This is going to be fun. There is a code inside for 15% off your first full sized scent.
Here it is

Aldi have a pretty good dupe for PN and also Lime, Basil and Mandarin.
Has anyone tried any of the Malin + Goetz fragrances? Are they any good?
It’s just called Ralph
I have it, it’s beautiful very much a Winter perfume
I had Dark Rum but ended up selling it on. There's no question that the quality is amazing but the scent itself was far too masculine for my tastes. I've tried to like complex niches but really I'm a basic witch when it comes to perfumes
£38 and the reviews are excellent....tempted.
Also tempted by Michael Kors Turquoise. Very reasonable.
Wearing the Jasmin Et Cigarette today
That was my first sample. I liked it a lot. It actually gets better with time.Wearing the Jasmin Et Cigarette today
My favourite so far is Rien. Lovely smell and long lasting too. I did a pilates class today and I could smell it every time I bent over
Still waiting to try that one as well! I can’t get over the fact that I Am Trash turned out to be my favorite so farThat was my first sample. I liked it a lot. It actually gets better with time.

There are so many that I like but that one has stood out the most. “You Or Someone Like You” is also a contender but it’s mostly for nostalgic reasons. It’s the smell of my childhood haha.- Status
