As somebody who has spent a lot of money on expensive fragrances historically, I was a bit skeptical about how good a cheaper, inspired by fragrance would actually be.
I typically wear either Creed, Penhaligons or Maison Crivelli, and none of these fragrances are particularly cheap. I was recently at an airport and tried one of the Creed fragrances that I hadn't tried before - Centaurus - but I couldn't justify the £300 or so cost that it would have been.
My colleague recommended this website to me because I was talking about how much I wanted purchase it, and we found the equivalent of this scent (the good, the bad and the ugly) for a fraction of the price (£37 for 30ml), which I didn't mind spending as a test purchase.
The product arrived this morning and I'm seriously impressed. This smells almost identical to the scent from actual Creed fragrance itself, and so far has proven to be very long lasting (I sprayed over 2 hours ago and can still clearly smell it on myself). The shipping costs were expensive for a test product, but the product arrived within a week of ordering (quicker than expected!) and the quality, even including the box and bottle, are top notch.
I didn't imagine that anywhere would be able to replicate the actual scent so accurately, and this has completely changed how I will view ordering fragrances in the future. This was ordered as a test, and it has passed with flying colours.
This may have only been my first order - but it certainly won't be my last.
