“Alternative” Fragrances - a review
/Welcome to my page exploring and reviewing alternative fragrances in the UK! If you're tired of the same old scents and want to discover something new and unique, you may find something of interest here.
There are many reasons why someone might choose to buy an alternative fragrance.
One of the foremost reasons may be to find a scent that is “inspired by” a well known brand, but which is much cheaper to buy. The makers are careful to emphasise that they do not claim to be copies of the big brands, though very often the can be almost identical! e.g.
Chanel
Dior
Gucci
Dolce & Gabbana
Versace
Calvin Klein
Tom Ford
Yves Saint Laurent
Jo Malone
Creed
Hermes
Prada
Armani
Marc Jacobs
Viktor & Rolf
Carolina Herrera
Ralph Lauren
Bvlgari
Estee Lauder
Givenchy.
Another reason is that alternative fragrances can offer a unique and distinctive scent profile that sets them apart from more mainstream fragrances. They can also be a way to express individuality and personal style, as some alternative fragrances are more niche and exclusive.
Additionally, alternative fragrances often use high-quality and natural ingredients, which can result in a more complex and sophisticated scent experience. Ultimately, choosing an alternative fragrance can be a way to discover something new and exciting, and to break free from the constraints of traditional fragrance categories.
