Sensuale Marks and Spencer for women

After reading the reviews on here I decided to test for myself ,and so first sprayed one wrist with my own Allure EDP then popped along to marks and spencer,sprayed my other wrist and went on a walk about the shop for 10-15mins.To my delight,when I smelt each wrist they were soooo similar!! unbelievable I have been spending sooo much on Allure.I am converted!! Even once I`d got home and it had settled, the similarity was very apparant. Allure is indeed a deeper scent and You do need to use a little more of the sensuale,but at such a low price its a small price to pay-literally

A beautiful fragrance- but doesn't last very long. Very soft, round and feminine.

Since finding out about M&S's naughty little perfume-duping secret I have concluded that:

Isis = L'eau de Issey
Infusion = Hypnose
Azure Breeze = Light Blue (but more fizzy sherbet)
True Red = Deep Red
Butterfly = Daisy (not a great dupe, but close)
Blush = Touch of Pink (with a touch of something else..)
....you get the picture!

Sensuale is indeed based on Chanel Allure...but it is not that similar to my nose.

Sensuale is a warm vanilla-jasmine with a rosey hue & a creamy character softened by musk. Very feminine, very pretty but if it was supposed to be Allure it had the life sucked out of it.

Imagine walking down the street & you see a beautiful woman walking in front of you....& then she turns round & you notice she is in fact a he/an old tart/your brother....that's what it's like with this dupe.

You've got to ask yourself: on a "cheap" day/at a hazy distance/if I paid less....would I really care?

I think this is just lovely. the top notes are fresh but not harsh, then as it dries down the floral bouquet comes out & warms up. I love the combination of rose & jasmine, and the lemon keeps it from being too heavy. I don't think it's particularly long-lasting, but I don't mind that for the price. there is a 25ml purse spray available as well as the big bottle, so you can refresh easily.

on the M&S website there are currently 3 reviews for this fragrance, two of which compare it to Chanel, one with the coment 'very alluring'. As I don't own Chanel Allure I've got no idea if they smell similar at all, but some of the notes are in common (and indeed, the bottle shape & lettering are similar).

I think this would be a very nice scent for more summery weather.
