2x SUDDENLY MADAME GLAMOUR Eau de Parfume 50ml by Suddenly Madame Glamour

Product Information

We'll stop looking this is a great fragrance similar to coco mademoiselle smells great and it lasts up to 8 hours How to watch Love Island Games in the UK: As the spin-off to the popular dating show lands, UK viewers need to know how to view it. As the first spritz hit my arm, it wafted up to my nose and I thought: "That's Coco Mademoiselle, I recognise that!", but once the second one was applied, I was not so sure any more, as they were remarkably similar. The second one seemed stronger, with more of a patchouli note to it, so I decided that it was probably the Coco Mademoiselle after all. I actually preferred the first scent, because it was softer, like an EDT version of the Coco, near as dammit. And yes, I sensed that there might also be "less going on with it", but to be honest, my perfume deconstruction skills are so remedial that I couldn't really tell you what I thought WAS going on with the scent I now believed to be Coco Mademoiselle.

Thank you for all of your help; not only do I really appreciate it but once again, I am touched by the kindness of strangers. :-) One of my friends mentioned it being good (I was unaware of the newspaper article until a few days ago) but one person's idea of similar can be vastly different to another's.... especially when that person doesn't actually wear CM and was relying on her memory of having tried it in a store, and SMG (*not* a sub-machine gun, or Buffy!) at another friend's! I was rather hoping she would be able to get me a bottle so I could do a comparison but that was an epic fail - she wouldn't even venture into a Lidl store! These gorgeous gold perfumes are just as Oscar-worthy as each other, and once you've sprayed them on, you'll have trouble telling them apart. One of the most uncanny perfume dupes out there! Thank you so much for this excellent review and test. I am a huge fan of Coco Mademoiselle (possibly in the minority here!) - it's been my signature scent for at least eight years! However, finances not being what they were, I've been curious to discover whether there was any truth in the rumour that it was (almost) as good as CM, or whether it was in fact, just hype. However, dupes can also be a great alternative to expensive perfumes, with the main advantage being that you get your fave scent for a cheaper price," she goes on to say. "Not everyone can afford expensive fragrances, so an option to strut around smelling chic on a budget is what many consumers search for nowadays. Buying a perfume dupe is also useful for trying out new fragrance notes without having to splash out."As a substitute, no I don’t feel it *is* – it just doesn’t meet the standard of Chanel, IMO; however, just because it isn’t an exact copy is no reason to dismiss it. As a perfume in its own right, it’s perfectly acceptable, and is actually very pleasant. For me it would never replace CCM but I’d be happy to wear it for its own sake. In terms of smell, the initial 10 minutes is very similar to the Coco Mademoiselle. I can smell the citrus, but it's not bright and juicy as you'd normally expect. After 10-15 minutes, it's already settled in. It smells similar to the dry down of the CM (which has always been what I love the most) with maybe an extra dose of white musk. Coco Mlle does not suit me, nor does the present day Coco. If anyone can come up with something that smells like the original Coco, I will buy an entire shoebox full. And I will go forth among the young citrusy and berry scented girls, and I will laugh to myself, because they do not know what real perfume is supposed to smell like. I just conducted the same blind test with Mrs Bonkers Senior (aged 76) and she thought the Lidl scent *was* Coco Mlle when it was first applied - as I did, indeed - because it seemed relatively strong on first spraying, but switched her verdict later on as the Coco Mlle kept going and the Madame Glamour began to fade. In fact it was quite a bit weaker on her than on me, while the Coco Mlle was pretty tenacious on her skin. Ph I am a big fan of this perfume, after reading the hype and being a fan of Lidl, I thought I had to jump on the band wagon.

Thanks for sharing your story and I am very confident that you will like Sub Machine Gun well enough! : - ) I think Coco Mlle is perfectly pleasant, but not remarkable, and I never normally reach for it because it is so ubiquitous. I think I *will* wear Madame Glamour, not least because it is a triumph of chemical engineering over budget! A theory also came to me in the night that the opening of the Coco is slightly more synthetic and rough / "crass" for want of a better word than the ensuing development, which could be why, in a kneejerk moment, me and these 91% of women favoured the Lidl... I was curious about this one after reading the NOTW article, and I am also writing a blog post on it. While doing my research, I stumble upon your blog. I was really captured in your quest : will she finally ge the perfume or not? Thanks for the posts, it's helpful. After several solemn challenges by Mr Bonkers of the "Is that your final answer?" variety, I settled on my verdict and he confirmed that I had correctly told the two scents apart. I asked him if he would like to smell them now and see which he preferred, to which he replied: "I can smell them both from miles away - just take yourself away, will you?" So no advance on our sample of one, then...I absolutely agree with your last sentence: Madame Glamour ma be as good or bad as it might, the point is the Chanel is NOT good. It is not worth its price tag, and that is the sad conclusion from your highly scientific study. I am sure I won't like the Lidl scent, not because it is bad in itself, but because I cannot stand Coco Mademoiselle either. But I sure as hell am going to try in on Saturday, since our Lidl even has a tester! :) Thanks for that! Oh dear, dear, that is a sorry state of affairs if it is true, and most unfair. I just went to my local Lidl, and not only did it not have any Madame Glamour in - it had gone and put three trays of deodorant where the perfumes should have been! I don't know if that is because Madame Glamour came in and sold out again like lightning, or because the staff have given up hope of it ever arriving. From Dolce & Gabbana and Chloé to Glossier and Caudalie, these are our favourite perfumes that last all day

I totally agree with you on the strength issue, but it is a small price to pay to pay a small price for the perfume! Suddenly Madame Glamour is a very elegant and sophisticated fragrance. It has a stylish citrusy-floral smell, very similar to Coco Mademoiselle. The fragrance lasts a very long time on the skin and it smells luxurious and expensive. Come and visit my blog soon, also planning to mention the Suddenly Madame Glamour in the next post.I am glad you found my posts helpful and I very much hope the Lidl scent doesn't "turn" on you like the Chanels! It is soft and gentle, but unmistakably a Coco Mlle clone. I am sure that actual fans of Coco Mlle - as opposed to random members of the public who submit to the test - will be the hardest to convince of the likeness. Maybe Coco Mlle is an oil painting, while SMG is a water colour that has additionally been left out in the rain!

A summery fragrance if ever there was one, H&M's Sunray shares its solar floral scent with Tom Ford's Soleil Blanc and is an ideal daytime perfume to take on holiday if you're looking for a cheaper dupe. Suddenly Madame Glamour reminds me of Coco Mademoiselle Not an exact match, but it definitely has certain elements that are the same. The composition is beautiful. This is not supposed to be strong. It is ladylike and understated. Would you believe a consignment finally came into my local store, so I bought another bottle last night in case you or another reader was frustrated in their quest! To hold up against Amaranthine is praise indeed, I'd say, so it is looking as though you don't regret shelling out the four quid!Strong winds and heavy rain are on the way to the UK, as Storm Ciaran approaches. We share where it's expected to hit. Marc Jacobs' Daisy fragrance has become a modern icon, rivalling the likes of Chanel and Jo Malone favourites. But now beauty service Avon has come out with their own fragrance dupe and it smells exactly like it - for a quarter of the price. It smells lovely just like coco chanel will definitely be buying again. Very good delivery time too I had never given Coco Mademoiselle much thought till this launch, but now you mention it it probably does smell more mid-market in the first place, notwithstanding the very aspirational and "luxe" ads featuring Keira.
