A smell-a-like is a perfume that smells like a designer fragrance but with a different name and packaging, and at a cheaper price. A smell-a-like isn't an exact copy, but often smells very similar.

Recommended on it's own virtue.

She said this fragrance is 99% like Hynotic Poison and is the very best dupe anywhere. I want to try it and wanted others to have the benefit of this information.
