Here at Essence 80 London, we just cant get enough of different fragrances, so when we designed our perfumes, we used the perfume mentioned in the product title as our inspiration for the fragrance. This is not a copy of the designer fragrance, it's just our take on using them as our creative inspiration!
We only believe in getting you the best value for money, so all of our perfumes are designed to have long lasting fragrance with a strong scent.
