Vogue - Fragrance for Women - 55ml Parfum de Toilette, made by Milton-Lloyd

I thought I knew exactly what to write for Vogue, but it has changed the more I think about it! My precious bottle of Chanel No 5 parfum is running somewhat low and, no longer being in a position to replace it, I thought a smell-a-like would make a useful top up. The more I read about Milton Lloyd perfumes, the more I thought I would have nothing to lose, and I'm pleased to say that so far none of the ones I have bought have been a disappointment. When I first sprayed Vogue (being careful not to overdo it as Milton Lloyd atomisers are renowned for their power!), I thought this was going to be my first disappointment. I wasn't expecting an exact copy by any means, but this smelt cheap and almost like it had gone off, it was verging on being sour. I resisted the urge to rush to the bathroom to wash it off because I know from experience that first impressions of a perfume are not necessarily the best ones and might not reflect what is to come... I'm pleased to say that it managed to redeem itself! As it died down over about 20 minutes a much smoother smell began to surface, the lovely powdery type scent that I relate to Chanel No 5. My nose has never considered No 5 to be floral, infact I can honestly say that I have never been able to pick out any particular smell, just one lovely overall scent. This is how Vogue became for me, just one lovely, delicious overall scent, sort of powdery, even very vaguely soapy, but very like the perfume I wanted a dupe of. It smelt expensive and I'm not ashamed to say that if anyone were to ask me what it was, I would risk getting a nose like Pinnochio to say it was the real thing! A couple of hours on and Vogue is still doing well. It has completely dried down and carries a faintly sweet, rosey smell that I have never had from the original, but it is still has that overall scent that I love. This one definitely has staying power on me. Will I buy it again? Yes, without a doubt. It is a lovely, classy perfume in its own right, and the smell belies the more than reasonable price tag. The fact that it is extremely similar to my beloved Chanel No 5 is the cream on the cake, and I recommend it to anyone looking for an inexpensive replacement or who has never tried the original and would like to without spending a small fortune.

Vogue by Milton Lloyd is a Floral Aldehyde fragrance for women. Top notes are Rose and Jasmine; middle notes are Aldehydes, Ylang-Ylang and Neroli; base notes are Musk, Vetiver and Vanilla. Many of the ‘famous’ fragrances of yesteryear have been reformulated and today’s version of Ch@nel no 5 doesn’t smell anywhere near as nice as the original. Vogue is an inexpensive tribute to Ch@nel no 5 from the 70s/80s that I remember and wore. It’s not quite a dupe but it’s as good as. A beautiful powdery, feminine fragrance that has great projection and sillage. It is very long lasting especially if you spray onto a scarf or your hair. A little goes along way. I have now got it on subscription.

Lovely lasting smell, good value for money and does last a while - smells like Chanel No.5. 👍🏼

This wasn't really the smell I was looking for. I was looking for something that smelt like Jasmin, and this does not smell like that at all. It reminds me of a Laimont perfume I used to have. However, lots of people commented on the nice smell when I was wearing it, and it's one of those perfumes that you can smell it on yourself. The scent of it lasts a long time when you are wearing it. It's not bad for an inexpensive perfume

Definitely a strong musky scent, a little too bitter and heavy for me but still nice enough.

I love this , I use it and the aroma was beautiful. I will surely reorder

I just can't get behind this smell. I don't know how the real Coco No5 smells but this one is just awful Baby powder, overpoi by alcohol, and all my mind can recall are old people. I'm sorry but this one is not for me. (I bought others from Milton Lloyd which I absolutely love like the summer flowers.)

What a stunning perfume

Smells exactly like Chanel nr 5, I wouldn’t say it’s a dupe but the same one exactly. One spray is enough because it’s strong

De geur is erg mooi en de geur blijft de hele dag op kleding en lichaam hangen

Ok

The worst smell ever. Do not buy this product I have to put in the garbage. It is so bad.

Es un perfume adecuado para mujeres de mediana edad. Después de varias horas se puede percibir un poco, pero destaca mucho su aroma atalcado
