Henna

I am generally very impressed with the quality of the Milton Lloyd "dupes". This one however falls a little short at closer inspection. Good enough as I hate to run out of my vintage Hypnotic Poison (got about 50ml left) but it doesn't have the finesse of the real thing. The opening is quite true to the original but there is something in the drydown of Henna that makes me cringe, what a shame, it's that tiny bit of cheap generic amber that ruins the show for me. Dont get me wrong, I will certainly use up the bottle but it has its place as a casual fragrance and for layering. Actually Milton Lloyd Henna was rehabilitated to some degree when I layered it with a jasmin rollerball attar, something I have also done with Hypnotic Poison and a TM Alien oil in the past. So if you have some kind of basic jasmin fragrance, have a go at layering with Henna and see what happens, it might improve your experience.

Lovely, sweet and soft scent. Almond, vanilla, amber... I'm not good at detecting notes nor have I ever smelled HP so I can't comment on the dupe thing. Lasting power and sillage seem to be moderate, enough for me. I'm a little surprised this one hasn't got more reviews and people loving it :) Edit: Lasting power is not bad on skin, but on clothes it seems to stay forever (and smells really good on them). I wore a cardigan weeks ago and it still smells like it.

PS For those who also have Milton Lloyd's Night Flower (TF Black Orchid dupe) I suggest you layer Henna over that - amazing result, they both complement each other perfectly.

to all Milton Lloyd fans.. they have some new fragrances on their website not on this database. one is called I am I feel and is a very good dupe of la vie est belle. another two are Natalie and emile. if they add them to the database I could review them..

I bought this based on its description. unfortunately on me it smells like peach, a little sweet then play dough. I have no idea if it is meant to be a dupe of anything. its just not great on me but the pressurised spray makes it a great air freshener!
