Couple of weeks ago I stumbled across some blog posts stating that Lidl created a dupe of Coco Mademoiselle fragrance by Chanel and that it is pretty damn good and costs just a couple of euros. If I remember correctly it even won in a blind test and because I love a good gimmick, I rushed to my local Lidl and checked stuff out.
The Lidl Perfume costs 3,99 euros, it's Eau de Parfum, it's a 50ml glass bottle and it's named Suddenly Madame Glamour (I cringe every time I hear this silly name).
I sprayed some on my wrist, thinking it will probably go sour in a couple of minutes and went to check out the fancy Chanel in a local perfume store.
The price for the Coco Mademoiselle is of course a lot higher, around 75 euros for 50 ml. And the smell? To my amateur nose, it smelled almost completely the same.
And the good news was - the Lidl Perfume didn't start smelling like a toilet deodoriser in couple of hours, it stayed the same well into the evening.
And yes, I went back to Lidl and bought myself a bottle. Heck, it's cheap and in my opinion it smells very feminine and classic, perfect for day and night, winter and summer.
Any comments are appreciated. Would you buy a perfume from a supermarket? ;)
