Suddenly by Madame Glamour

OK many of you already know about Suddenly by Madame Glamour Eau De Parfum, and there's not much more I can add about this that hasn't been said before, it certainly caused a large stir when it was launched by Lidl back in 2011.

Described as a "Timeless affordable and classic fragrance, with citrus and floral notes incorporating Jasmine and Bergamot", it is a perfect summer scent priced at €3.49

 

As mentioned a thousand times over, this fragrance is similar to the Chanel Coco Mademoiselle and in blind tests carried out by the UK Perfumer's Guild a very large percentage of women preferred the Lidl brand over the more expense band. (See below)

When I first tried this fragrance I found it to be a little overpowering to the point where I started to get a headache, but it settled down within a few minutes to a light floral scent that lasted most of the day without reapplying.

If you are into layering your fragrances for that extra lingering stay power you can add the shower gel and body lotion which is available in a gift set for €5.99 and I did read somewhere that there were candles to match the scent as well.

Now if I could afford the Chanel at €70+ that’s the one I would personally go for but if on a budget which I am and like most these days, the Suddenly Madame Glamour is just as good and at €3.49 you can’t go wrong.)

"Two independent consumer panel blind tests carried out by the Perfumer's Guild on the Lidl Suddenly Madame Glamour perfume against the hugely popular designer branded perfume revealed incredible results - 50 women in the first test voted overwhelmingly for the Lidl Suddenly perfume with 89% saying they would prefer to wear it over the designer brand. And, 90% of the 100 women who blind tested the perfumes in the second round said they also preferred the Lidl perfume."
