the other is the scent of Molton Brown naran ji hand lotion.

It smells like orange blossom, and it's lovely. It's my favourite smell in the entire world, and just smelling it makes me happy. I have lots of good memories connected to this smell.
I don't know if it would be possible to dupe the fragrances from moisturisers but i would be so, so happy if you could.
Easier than most... Molton Brown Naran Ji Fine Liquid Hand Wash 300ml. Key Ingredients: Grapefruit Seed, Sweet Florida Oil, Neroli Oil. Info courtesy of the MB website info section. I smells to me like its got petitgrain oil in there too (I think it's from the bark of the tree whereas neroli is from the blossom) but it should be quite straightforward to dupe. HTH.

Cool on the Wild Fig and Cassis- that one's not a problem at all, and it's wonderful. I'm just about getting ready to place another order for supplies- so there are some ones that will take form over the coming weeks
Oh, yay! I just ordered another small sample that I can keep using until I get yours, and just spray my clothes with it when I have the solid one. I'm so glad I caught this before I gave in and spent a fortune on a fullsize bottle

Hi Karen....jumping in late on my list of fragrance dupes I'd love to see(and smell). D&G Light Blue, Donna Karan *be delicious*, and Calyx by Prescrpitives.
I know the first 2 for sure have been duped a lot, so they should be pretty easy, but I'd rather get them from you! I'm not sure about Calyx, but it is a really fresh, crisp, green scent that is really appealing to me.
My new fav cologne is actually from Avon's Mark line. It's called Earth, and if you could find a way to dupe IT, I'd be your slave forever, as would my DH!!!! I can't describe the notes, though.
Thanks, Laurie

I thought I was the only one around that was currently liking the earthiness of Mark's green, I usually like the more oriental florals , not something this clean, but I absolutely love this scent, so I would join you in crying those tears of happiness if karen could dupe it.
Karen , could you also try and dupe Cliniques Simply and Happy, could you try and dupe their Aromatics Elixer, everytime I wear it, some one asks me what I have on, it is such a different smell, pretty overpowering in the bottle and when you first spray it on, but the dry down is wonderful.

Whoa! for those of you(Hollis and Zeebs) that have tried Mark *Earth*....isn't it the MOST yummy fragrance you've smelled in like, forever? This is the 1st scent in YEARS and YEARS that DH has actually adored(his word) on me. Unfortunately, it only comes in the spray cologne and body butter.
And I still cannot describe it......LOL

Yeah!! I'm not usually big on the Mark fragrances but I liked the sample I got of this one. It's very balanced IMO.

Karen, pretty please will you dupe Body Shop's White Musk... its the one scent I've been using for more than 10 years now... the original not the new version they've concocted... please I'd love to have something I could use without worrying about spraying my kids with it too.
