'Claire can you recommend a nice perfume'.
'no problem'....
'one that's cheap'....
'OK now we have a problem'
Not any more..
I have discovered a little Gem of a shop where for just €13.99 you can get 50ml EDP. This shop is called Equal and is based in Midleton (more stores coming soon ).They also have an on line shop .shop online here
This shop has an unique ethos..they do not do counterfeits..or copies of designer perfumes but what they do is a perfume that is very similar to your favourite high end brands.
These affordable perfumes are classified by numbers and olfactory families ,to help you make your choice.
Perfumes fall into many categories..Fresh,Floral,Citrus, Oriental, Woody are the most popular. In store and on line you will find an information card in front of each fragrance telling you what family it belongs to and what notes it contains.
The cost is ridiculous €13.99 for 50ml or €20.99 for 100ml of EDP...that's crazy value.
Equal do fragrance for both men and women
It is worth noting that this shop only sells Eau De Parfum they do not do Eau De Toilette.
What is the difference i hear you ask...EDP is a higher concentration of essential oils which means your fragrance will last a LOT longer on you when you spray
They don't sell cheap copies of perfumes and they don't copy fragrances from any of the big brands , they bring a very similar olfactory experience.
What this means basically is they use the same top, middle and base notes as the big brands to achieve a very similar scent.
We are all familiar with generic medicines here they sell generic perfume.It smells very similar but its easy on the wallet as they are not paying a big celebrity to hold the bottle and waft the perfume around while looking like they are having an orgasm.
I went to midleton and had a great chat with the owner Joe and his passion for fragrance is obvious. The staff are super helpful and highly trained in all things fragrance.I was fortunate enough to be gifted some fragrance and other products (review of those coming soon ) and I must say I have been very impressed.
The fragrance is affordable ,it lasts on the skin and lingers on your clothes.Basically what you are getting is good honest value for money and in this economic climate I am all for that. I am a mom myself and i know us women can often put our families needs before our own ...well now can we indulge ourselves without the guilt .
They also do some amazing reed diffusers and car fragrance that are 100% natural oils...last a long time and a very 'real' fragrance.
They also do an incredible BAR of SHAMPOO...separate review coming on that as well the bath bombs ..fab!!!
In short get yourselves in store or on line here and pick up a new fragrance for spring summer...you're worth it !!!
