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

Product Information

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. :-) 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!

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... This honestly does smell like Coco Mademoiselle, and not many people will be able to tell the difference. It's perhaps not as deep or complex as CM, but I think I actually prefer the smell of this. Am so happy you landed on Bonkers, and liked what you read! I am in a bit of a mad busy work phase at the moment, but have lots of post ideas in the pipeline for when things calm down. And there are of course lots of old posts such as the one you chanced upon. ;) 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! So initially she said she liked them equally as they smelt exactly the same(!), but over time, the Coco won her over, purely on strength grounds.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. 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. Why you can trust GoodTo.

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. I'm not happy,cause I did not get it:( All fragranses is gone in My nearest shop. shame...same as "Coco Chanel" ..My nose tell Me so.

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... This is such a beautiful perfume it always gets me compliments, I think it’s very similar to Angel perfume , such a great price too 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. 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.Maybe you'll feel better about your sniffing skills if you know that I couldn't even figure out what perfume I wore yesterday when I smelled the sweater this morning-and I didn't do it blindly! On me it seems to have less staying power than CCM but I wouldn’t hold it against it...CCM lasts for ages on me – right through until I wake up if I don’t shower or bathe before bed (yeah it happens sometimes....nights out an’ all that!). 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!

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! Okay, so the Zara product won't look quite as impressive on your dressing table, but on the skin, it really is almost the same thing. Now here's the rub...as the evening wore on, I warmed to the Coco Mademoiselle sample on my left arm: it seemed to have more body and complexity, but for reasons that I could not put my finger on. Pressing into service a medical term typically applied to urinary tract infections, I now believed the Coco sample was slightly superior for "non-specific" reasons that were something to do with its "modern chypre" base. 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! 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.From Dolce & Gabbana and Chloé to Glossier and Caudalie, these are our favourite perfumes that last all day 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! :) 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.

Too bad you are not a big fan of Coco M. A German friend of mine has also done the comparison, agrees on the strong likeness, but is similarly underwhelmed by both scents! If I do see some more, I will buy a couple of bottles on spec, in case any Coco Mlle-loving readers are struggling to find it where they live. Though I shan't hold my breath. Come and visit my blog soon, also planning to mention the Suddenly Madame Glamour in the next post. I think your conclusion is completely valid, but I am completely biased because I've never thought Coco Mademoiselle smelt as luxurious as other Chanels. And who needs luxury all the time anyway, right? ;) (especially when an approximation can be had for 4 pounds?)Reporting from eastern Europe: this Lidl cheapie smells not only like Coco Mademoiselle, but also very close to Gres Cabotine Gold. I mean, that bottle I am trying to sell because it smells too metallic on me (gold, yeah). Suddenly MG is a bit softer than this one, too.
