London

Only dupe I’ve found of this and Jo M has only just brought this out and Noted Aromas are on it straight away, smelt the real one in the duty free in the airport before my holiday and it is identical and obviously more then half the price of it! We need the shower gel and body lotion now!!

Fantastic love it definitely buy this again

I have the original of this but dont want to keep paying over £100 for the 50ml so thought id try this. Even a direct side by side comparison i can't tell the difference. Can you please make the shower gel??? ;) lol

Noted Aromas LONDON is based on the TV ad fronted Tom Hardy fragrance CYPRESS & GRAPEVINE by Jo Malone which costs £160 for 100ml Cologne intense and gets a 4 out of 5 on Fragrantica. A wonderful fragrance that opens with Cypress trees, and smoothes and dries down with a woody grapevine and amber aroma. It's fresh, clean, forest-like to be my nose, and a very pleasant fragrance that I like a lot.

The NA LONDON version came to me in a three 100ml mixed bottle bundle of my choice, normally £29.99 each, they were reduced by £30 to under £60 for all three, and then a Fathers day 20% discount was offered as well. Factor in the excellent 99p optional DPD faster delivery service, which I love as it gives me faster shipping with a dependable carrier and emails galore telling me where it is, and when it will arrive, and my drivers name! So £48.97 for three 100ml fragrances in Eau de parfum guise.... £16.33 each bottle.

What I am looking for is something close to the original fragrance, good sillage (wake or trail), good projection and longevity and simply a fragrance that I personally like, would wear regularly and think is worth the money compared to the countless copies out there that are basically water and hype. With NA's LONDON, in a nutshell I am a very very happy bunny. From the first spray , there is a brief almost chemical aroma that immediately gives way to a refreshing alpine forest-fresh burst, a wave of cypress trees, pine cones, a Swiss forest walk that I really like. Within minutes it has smoothed and I get a woody, clean, vibrant aroma that is perfect on the summer morning I've awakened to.

It's very similar to the original to my nose, actually, it's very very similar. All skins are different, noses are different, and on my skin LONDON is 99.9% the same as the original. It is a fantastic version, a good standalone fragrance that is an instant winner for me, one that I would wear regularly and very much enjoy and can virtually, honestly not tell apart from the £160 original. After five hours it was a close proximity aroma, not a criticism as not all fragrances have monster projection, and by seven hours it was very discreet, though importantly, it filled my nostrils with pleasing vanilla-like tones. It's good. So good, I immediately ordered another bottle in my next discounted three 100ml bottle bundle! My score is 5/5 Nuff said. If you have never tested the original or don't intend to drop £160 on a bottle, this NA version LONDON is a wonderful interpretation, a perfect fragrance that will earn you compliments and one that your nose will pick up and enjoy for at least 7 hours.

I am slowly reviewing the NA fragrances as I try them and thus far CHAMONIX (Maison Margiela 'By the fireplace') is a solid 5/5, LONDON (Jo Malone 'Cyprus & Grapevine' is 5/5 whilst HAVANA (Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille) is a 4/5 that with further testing, I've raised to a 4.9 as it really is that good for longevity).

Also at this point, a well done to NOTED AROMAS from me. Bringing this collection of high quality fragrances to the market, excellent scents that are well presented with good spray nozzles, excellent packaging, first class ordering facilities and communications, is very much appreciated. As someone who has grown tired of having to wave fistfuls of money to buy designer brand perfumes all my life, I find it refreshing that now I can actually pay a ridiculously low price and still smell dam good.

Really great value and complemented on the scent
