Working in Fragrance definitely has a few perks, one of which I am eager to share with you all- the dupes.
The myths that celebrity perfumes are a complete waste of time, and that cheaper options always equal to nothing on your skin, are exactly that- myths.
To ensure the quality of a perfume buy it from a good store- simple. To ensure the fragrance is long lasting and smells beautiful on the skin, try it on and walk away.
(EDP in theory lasts longer than EDT but again it is a matter of personal matching)
In this series I'll advise you on cheaper options for some top end favourites as this is the question I'm always being asked.
Although I've worked in fragrance for years and completed many an exam on the topic (yawn!) it still is a matter of opinion, so if you are interested in any of the below recommendations remember to try before you buy just to be sure!
Let me know what your thoughts are on this series and if it's helped any of you save some hard-earned pennies!
