Strangers stop me in the street to compliment my perfume & it only costs £26 – people say it’s ‘unreal’ & lasts for days
GETTING a compliment saying you smell good can be among one of the best ones you receive, and it’s always great to say it didn’t cost an arm and a leg.
This happened to TikTok user Georgia Young aka @g33ldn who says she was asked about her perfume while attending a beer festival in Staines-upon-Thames.
In her video, she says: “If you were the girl at Staines beer festival about a month ago, at the Greek food truck and I ordered a chicken and halloumi off of you, you stop me at the end before you gave me my food and was like ‘what perfume are you wearing?’
“‘You smell unreal, I can smell you over the chicken, all the way from the back of the kitchen, this is the perfume!”
Georgia then turns the bottle towards the camera to reveal the “unreal” scent to be Kate Spade’s New York eau de parfum.
“If anyone else is wondering ‘what is she talking about? Why is it so great?’ it smells delicious.
“It lasts all day and a few days later.”
She says she’s “really bad” at describing scents but says the designer perfume smells floral.
“This is like the best perfume I’ve ever had so if anyone else is looking for a perfume recommendation [get] this one.
“I’m not going to lie, every single time I wear it somebody always tells me ‘you smell incredible.
“But yeah,” Georgia concludes, “Kate Spade man, it’s a good investment.”
People rushed to the comments to share their love for the beauty product or said they were going to buy it.
One person said: “This is my favourite.”
Another wrote: “That’s my favourite perfume and [I] always get compliments when I wear it.”
“Been wanting to smell this for so long [crying face emoji],” penned a third.
“Will defo try it [hearts around face emoji],” said someone else.
“You just made me buy it [hearts around face emoji],” a fifth commented.
On the Boots website, where you can grab it for just £26, it says the fragrance is inspired by ” the house’s signature codes and lifestyle” and describes the smell as “colorful, full of the energy and grace the brand embodies.”
The top notes for the perfume are: citrus, bergamot, wild strawberry.
The middle notes include: rose essence and freesia.
And finally, the base notes are: ambroxan and cashmeran.
On the Debenhams website, the perfume has rave reviews.
One person penned: ” I absolutely love this scent! I wear it anywhere I go, in moderation, because I’m afraid of finishing it too fast!
“This has to be one of my favorite scents that I have and I’m so glad that I got the chance to try it.
“Will definitely recommend to others and would buy it again once I’m out.”
Another said: “This scent is wonderful, and even though it’s on a sweeter summer spring side I could not wait and wear it now in the winter.
“I spray 2-3 sprays and it lasts me all day! I often get compliments and questions on what perfume I am wearing.”
How To Save Money On Beauty Buys
IF your purse is feeling tighter than ever before and you're looking to save cash on your make-up routine, have you ever thought of trying out beauty dupes?
Here’s five of the best recommended beauty buys that are almost identical to the posh versions, but for a fraction of the price.
FACE BASE: If you can’t afford Charlotte Tilbury‘s £52 Magic Cream, why not try a dupe that costs just £5.49 from Superdrug?
TONE IT UP: If Drunk Elephant’s £62 Protini moisturiser is out of your price range, you’ll need to check out the new dupe in Home Bargains.
TINTING IT: With Fenty’s ‘game-changer’ skin tint costing an eye-watering £29, a popular supermarket’s affordable alternative might just be the thing for you.
GET COVERED: At £29 for a Tarte concealer, the new Primark dupe is much more affordable at just £3.50.
SPRAY YAY: For those wanting to smell fresh, without the price tag, Aldi’s new Prada and Chloe perfume dupes cost a fraction of the price.
Meanwhile, on the perfume review site Fragantica, one person said: “This smells amazing and fresh. this smells like a picnic in the middle of spring.
“I love the strawberry note so much. I cannot smell freesia as much but all of the notes make sense.”
A second penned: “”Very lovely, sweet, and feminine scent! I’ve wanted it since around the beginning of 2022 and finally got it in 2023.
“I’m a Kate Spade enthusiast but never owned the perfumes. I love the smell of berries, especially strawberry.
“The citrus pairs nicely with those notes as well. That is what attracted me to this perfume.
“My boyfriend got me the set for this perfume as a birthday present and I adore it.”
