I purchased this Clone some years ago, at which time I left a review. I purchased it again, recently, expecting it to be unchanged. To my moderate chagrin the formula has been changed. I find this formulation not as close a copy of D&G’s By (Man) as the older formulation. Even the colour or hue of the perfume is different. The older formula had a yellow hue as the original did. This one is colourless like water. Clearly Perfume Parlor has adopted a new formula, but to my nose, while the new formula is acceptable, the older clone was better.
I ordered Second and Last for men (a copy of D&G By that was discontinued years ago) it is incredible. Then I was sent a sample of a fragrance made by Perfume Parlour called Seriously 1079. It is amazing, everyone complements me on how good it smells. If you are looking for a fragrance that lasts and smells great, this is the site for you.
I have got some many people to order from them, all down to people loving the smell of my fragrance 👍🏻
Never stop making this fragrance, I've ordered it three times and I swear it's better than ever. I love it. I searched everywhere for this smell and I'm so glad you have it.
I got this a few years ago and it still smells very good as opposed to another popular clone company’s which expired after a year and it smelled way sweeter.
PP’s version is a little harsh in the opening and just a tad sweeter than the real By but it might be the concentration. The similarities are there 90% I’d say which is a lot, PP even nailed the creamy drydown.
Performance is similar to the original, which was an edt and had a 6 hours life, give or take. Now, more importantly, the compliments are crazy, nothing has gotten me more compliments than this and I own many niche fragrances, including LV and MFK hype beasts.
Please don’t stop making it and don’t reformulate it.
What a joy it is to rediscover your favourite ever fragrance! A fantastic homage to D&G’s classic fragrance ‘By’ which was withdrawn from circulation about 25 years ago. God knows why as it’s a fragrance unlike any other. Whenever I wear it, people are very complimentary about the fragrance and ask what it is. Please, please don’t ever stop producing this homage - it’s a fabulous fragrance!
