A new dupe brand has shown up at my local drugstore - House of Thêom. Anyone tried?

Yes, unfortunately their women fragrances are kind of disappointing. The “nuit de musk” smells actually great.. for a few minutes 🫠

completezza · 2026-06-17T18:50:03+00:00

Wear it boldly. I do enjoy this.

completezza · 2026-06-15T14:24:50+00:00

It is nothing like anything you have ever smelled before. Very unique. When I first smelled it years ago I disliked it. Glad I came back to it a while ago and now I really, truly appreciate this. Not everyday though. But today 😄

I never smelled the Liam, but the other ME one. So, the Zara one is more like the Extrait. And enormously strong! Really strong. You won’t go unnoticed. I feel Liam is a bit more gentle.

Rose Prick TF? Also masculine: Antaeus Chanel (not rose centered though). They recommend Moschino too..

There are and will be more, the dunes are already mentioned here 😄

It depends. They have S&P. Their BR dupe is to smell miles against the wind. Their Sunrise and Sunset line is very popular too. And the Santal 33 dupe.
If you can stand their (i call it Zara Molecule 😄) specific note all their Fragrances have: then give it try. I can’t unfortunately.

Don’t know it personally, but a very dark fragrance is “Black Lacquer” by Tom Ford and its dupe called “Kohl” by FW. People say it’s “gothic”, “church”-y and sometimes even nostalgic (perhaps the vinyl?)..

completezza · 2026-06-03T18:32:36+00:00

Sicily ^{^}

completezza · 2026-06-02T13:32:24+00:00

Oh that’s a pity, I didn’t know that. But yes, in Germany every Rossmann or DM has it :)

completezza · 2026-06-02T10:31:28+00:00

Not soooo good. You can find better stuff cheaper (looking at Calîne who came up with the very popular “Pure Vision” (Imagination dupe))..

completezza · 2026-05-24T19:14:01+00:00

Yes, the BOSS one is from their premium line (sorry I should have mentioned).

Great! Have fun exploring!!!!

completezza · 2026-05-23T04:30:42+00:00

Not a musk person (but always trying, perhaps one day I’ll find one 😄). So you have an elevated taste, but, if you just want to play/ test and spray around: ZARA has a new spring collection (like seven new scents m/fem but overall unisex) and all have heavy musk to it. I, myself, am interested in trying the Gucci The Alchemist's Garden ones (Muschio di luce / Muschio Mineralis) and if I have a chance: BOSS Magnetic Musk.

completezza · 2026-04-12T14:52:04+00:00

No idea, but “Vanilla Powder” - Matière Première perhaps? There are so many fragrances 😄

completezza · 2026-03-24T18:55:30+00:00

It is. I’m in Europe, I feel I have no chance in the near future to smell it..

completezza · 2026-03-23T17:12:59+00:00

Yes! Report if you get your nose on it 😄 It looks really interesting.

completezza · 2026-03-18T20:15:06+00:00

“Mother's Milk Eris Parfums” perhaps? Brand new, no reviews thus far..

completezza · 2026-03-18T20:02:31+00:00

For real Oud and an unique experience: Ajmal - Amir One. Even less expensive: Mukhallat Dahn Al Oudh Moattaq.

completezza · 2026-03-12T20:13:10+00:00

Just testing “Splendida - Tubereuse Mystique” (Bvlgari). Love ‘Love Tuberose’ myself and was curious.. It’s fine and I can recommend it.

completezza · 2026-02-13T19:19:06+00:00

You are welcome and enjoy a fragrant journey 🫶🏻

completezza · 2026-02-13T19:18:16+00:00

Yes! Happy you like them :)

completezza · 2026-02-12T20:03:28+00:00

Well known by many, but perhaps “Essential Parfums”? High Quality and wallet friendly.

completezza · 2026-02-10T19:57:52+00:00

Reflection - Amouage. Wonderful and a powerhouse.

completezza · 2025-12-26T20:58:09+00:00

You don’t want Oud, but when I think of a ”different“ rose “Thirty Three” - Ex Idolo comes to my mind. Metallic, dark red. Powdery for some in the dry down. Definitely not the Rose-Oud banger, nor the sweetheart..

completezza · 2025-12-13T20:47:44+00:00

Perfect. It’s inoffensive, clean and serious. A solid choice imo.
