LIDL perfume test: The Good, the Bad, and the Gargoyle.

Tested some perfumes I bought at the local branch of LIDL.
They are supposedly dupes of luxury brands.
Could be a tip for the upcoming Valentine in these inflational times.
Are they any good? Do you really want to know?

Mystic is a dupe of Alien by Thierry Mugler

Thx, must say I never tried the original by Mugler.

So somebody actually watched this and even took the trouble to press the Dislike button, which is kind of funny.

I tested some mens perfumes yesterday in the store as a joke, but surprisingly one of them smelled pretty good and didn´t irritate my nose like even man expensive perfumes do and today even after the shower I smell it on the wrist. Smells like one Lacoste one I think. So now I´m like wait how good or bad are the ingredients rly :D obviously they arent really good or use real oils etc, but if it doesn´t smell bad to a layman, maybe its worth 6€ :D

@@marsvai2410 The difficulty with scents is that they develop, in combination with the skin, so they can turn out nicer than the initial impression, or vice versa. Or something that smells good on another person can smell terrible on your own skin. Expensive mistakes were made this way. I do prefer scented oils or more natural perfumes.

@@dearbelgium Yea. My favorite and go to is Prada L ́Homme, coz it has very natural ingredients and smells non-chemical and doesn´t irritate the nose. Also just a cool kina unique and fresh smell.

Lovely is the dupe for Dior's J'Adore.

@@denisseavila9083 It did smell Diorish, if you know what I mean.
