Treating the significant female in your life will be no challenge this Valentine’s Day with Lidl launching its brand new Suddenly Diamonds perfume on 6th February for the market-beating price of £3.99. Diamonds is expected to create a storm of interest as the much-anticipated follow-up to the Madame Glamour own label perfume.
Lidl spent two years developing Diamonds, which is structured around top notes of apple with mid notes of orange blossom and jasmine and deep base notes of cinnamon and sandalwood. Inspired by the sophistication and sparkle of the 1920s, the fragrance is vibrant with an Art Deco-style bottle that reflects the style of the scent.
Lidl spokesperson Georgina O’Donnell says, “We knew we had to be ambitious with our plans for this perfume because Suddenly Madame Glamour raised the bar so high and we knew there would be great expectations for the next perfume we produced.”
Suddenly Diamonds Eau de Parfum, 50ml, hits the shelves on 6th February for £3.99. It may have taken two years to produce but it’s worth the wait.

Suddenly Diamonds is a good clone of Boss Orange. X-Bolt is as most people know a good clone of Boss Bottled and Madame Glamour is a good clone of Coco Mademoiselle. Suddenly woman I believe is a clone of Chanel No.5.
The Keshi range that appears isometimes in Lidl is good - Money Maker and Touches of Gold were excellent clones of One Million etc. I'd stay clear of the 'Luxury' fragrance range that is in Lidl right now though, it's nothing special.
The Cien toiletries are also very good by the way.

I agree with your opinion of XBolt, Diamonds & Glamour. A low cost version of well known favourites - even if they don't last as long (I think they do) you can afford to spray it on more often!! To anyone who uses the well known brands - give these a try, for the price you won't be disappointed.

The Keshi range is pretty potent - almost as potent as Chanel. Keshi Money Maker and Touches of Gold last a day or more.There's loads of excellent dupes out there to flesh out your frag collection: Al-Rehab, Linn Young, So.., Cuba, etc.

I would highly recommend Milton Lloyd dupe perfumes / aftershaves. I get so many compliments on the particular ones that I buy and they actually smell better and longevity is better. I purchase mine from my local makeup outlet for 3.50 but you can buy online too

I bought Suddenly Woman I as a mother-in-law gift a few Valentines ago :smiley: She is a Chanel No 5 nut and was thrilled with it! Personally I can't stand the old fashioned aldehyde perfumes (think No 5 is horrid) but my mum loves it as well - must be a mum thing - or the memories it evokes, who knows.
I love perfume but I'm not a snob about it. I collect pure parfums, limited editions, celebrity perfumes, more premium brands and even knock-offs. If I like it, I'll buy it.
Suddenly Diamonds is lovely and nice for the sunnier days (and these perfumes are great for carrying in your bag - you won't be gutted if you lose it or something happens to the bottle).
Of course everyone knows about Suddenly Madame Glamour - got a few bottles of that too. Have to break them out again! Forgot I had them!
@Monzer - will have to look out for Keshi! Thanks for the tip :smile:

I collect original expensive and cheap and dupe also. If I like it I buy it. Incidentally, I am a bloke! I love fragrances and I buy them for me and my girlfriend. I am always looking for a bargain! Managed to score a couple of bottles of Cerruti 100ml for her for a tenner each at B&M a while back and a couple of bottles of Davidoff Game 100ml for £5 each! Game now fetches £40 a bottle because it is discontinued. I got the Madame Glamour hand cream for my gf.. I also got a Madame Glamour body lotion and shower gel that they did in a Madame Glamour box a while back...
Yeah Milton Lloyd do some great dupes.. but I don't like the way they spray!
Al-Rehab are bonkers cheap and super strong i.e. mostly oils and eau de parfum. Al Rehab do dupes of Britney Spears, Creed, Davidoff, etc. I hear Amaf are good also.
