I love to wear this at home, after taking a shower and applying my face cream. The fragrance lasts on my skin 4+ hours. I think it’s just perfect and good value for money. I also own Coco Mademoiselle but I keep it for when I’m outdoors. Suddenly is a very nice fragrance when you want to feel nice in your own skin. I don’t see why some people hate it so much. Will I buy it again after my bottle is over? Most probably – I love its fresh, citrusy smell!

I wanted to try this, and I wanted to love it. I re-tested the Chanel recently and was hoping for a bargain dupe here.
I used to fill my desinger cravings with dupes during my time as a student, and since even a German news magazine wrote about how good Lidls perfume was, and that “blind testers even preferred it to Chanel”, I had my hopes up for Suddenly Madame.
Lidl had a tester bottle and I sprayed it on my wrist. I get what all the others are saying about plasticky notes and medicinal alcoholic, like industrial disinfectants.
It also doesn’t develop like a more expensive fragrance. All the notes are there from the first spray on.
Is it similar? Yes.
Do I think that blind testers, who know and like the original will know the difference? Yes, definitely.
I honestly can not believe that anyone, who has ever smelled Chanel would prefer this one…looking at Stern magazine…
Ten years ago I wouldn’t have cared too much and bought the bottle and wear my dupe as if I was wearing an original.
But I really think you can smell the difference between 3.99 Euros and > 100 Euros for 100 ml.
I think it’s a lot like everything else at these kind of supermarkets. Everything is a cheaper version of something very popular, from food to household cleaners and even perfume. Most of it is good or at least ok, and while that is ok with me for some products, just ok will not do for my Chanel cravings.

I have purchased several bottles of this but as I am wearing this today, I am thinking that I won’t repurchase this. I have other dupes of CM that I like so much better. To me, SMG just pales in comparison to CM and to other dupes. It’s just too soft for me. Nice for those days that you don’t want to be too noticeable.

For the price this is actually not a bad purchase at all. I’d say the longevity is moderate and it smells nice and subtle – I mostly get hints of orange and flowers. Very light and definitely a spring/summer fragrance.
Would I purchase this again? No, but not because it smells bad. It’s just not what I look for in a perfume.
Fakelok – :
My first thought is orange liqueur.
There’s something oddly reminiscent of nail polish beneath.
I feel like I’m almost getting cinnamon here?
And there’s a hint of green powderiness in the background to me.
I’ve never tried the Chanel perfume this is supposedly a dupe for since I don’t tend to get along with their scents (except for Chance).
But this is actually quite lovely, not something I would’ve ever expected to be able to purchase at a Lidl.
I need to check out their men’s scents as well.
edit:
You definitely feel the price point when it comes to the longevity. It smells really nice for an hour or an hour and a half, but you do need to keep reapplying it. It doesn’t really have a great arch, it pretty much stays the same but it’s nice. And reapplying isn’t a huge problem to me, just something you might want to be aware of.

I’m very glad I discovered this little gem, again thanks to Fragrantica. I probably would have passed it by if I hadn’t read about it here, esp about its resemblance to Coco Mademoiselle. I tested it yesterday and bought it on the spot because it’s too good an alternative to pass up. I wouldn’t say it’s IDENTICAL to Coco Mselle, as Madame is fresher, more citrusy (a summer fragrance for sure), but it has its own charm and a satisfactory performance considering its price.
If you love Coco Mademoiselle but can’t afford it, go ahead and give Madame Glamour a try, you won’t regret it! 🙂

Na alles wat ik erover gelezen had, besloot ik om eens bij de Lidl naar binnen te gaan en deze uit te testen. Uiteraard was de testfles leeg. Dus ik heb een fles op de gok mee genomen. Daarnaast verkoopt Lidl ook madame diamonds en twee soorten chalou . Chalou gold en chalou Blue. Na ze alle drie geroken te hebben, besloot ik om ook de suddenley diamonds en de chalou gold mee te nemen. Jammer dat die niet hier in de database staan.

A very soft version of Coco mademoissele. The first notes are much softer. Love it but the longetivity is very short, after 1.5-2 hours I can’t smell it anymore. Well, but what can you demand from 50 ml for 4 pounds?
Very pleasant scent and indeed sensual. Feel very feminine when wearing it. Sometime carry it in my bag and apply it every 3-4h when I’m not lazy lol. Good job, Lidl.
sanek79 – :
I was in Lidl yesterday and I bought it to test and It´s similar to CM but this one smells upon my Skin very masculine, sharp and longevity was 1 hour only.
The dupe Madame Isabelle from La Rive is much better in projection, longevity and also a more refined aroma.
den280377 – :
I bought a bottle of this cheap scent to find out is it dupe of Mademoiselle by Chanel. Yes it is, not bad longevity even, but it cheaper version of a masterpiece. So i gave the bottle away after used some.
Vutsdrarirets – :
For those who like to have various fragrances in their drawer with more and less expensive fragrances, it is a fragrance that can not miss if you obviously love the most famous fragrance Chanel Coco Mademoiselle !!
He remembers it more or less well, maybe a little more synthetic, as already mentioned, but for the paltry price of 4.99 euros for a 50 ml EDP, it’s more than good!
The duration is certainly weaker than the original, but despite being cheap makes’ feel good and is more than good!
I also tried Aura Jolie for sale at Lidl, which is reminiscent of the perfume La Vie est Belle, even the most promoted!
Good Lidl!
Romckas – :
This is such fun, all those reviews. Pros love it, cons hate its synthetic smell. Wake up please, even the expensive houses use synthetic ingredients today. How else can they make the exact same perfume every time again (It is not as if they sell just a couple of bottles of coco mad). Having said this, I am (obviously) a fan. In my opinion Coco mademoiselle is nice, and such a crowdpleaser that it doesn’t belong in a Chanel-bottle. I expect more daring decisions there. But it is nice, and so is Madame Glamour. It does its job: it makes me feel happy and feminine :-). And that for a tiny price-tag, so I can spend the real money on a perfume that stands out in the crowd.
wadim802 – :
Suddenly Madam Glamour IS very much like Coco Mad, but unfortunately the longevity is pretty dire, but if you buy it with the intention of using it like a body spray like I do, then you’re good to go.
They also do Suddenly Diamonds which is a very good copy for Hugo Boss Orange, and I think the longevity is also slightly better than Suddenly Madam Glamour…
These Lidl perfumes are £4, and longevity is there only problem, but use them as body spray, just don’t expect them to last 8-10 hours.
Monager – :
I really must write review on this one. Before they start to sell prefume, I discovered roll-on deo Madame Glamour which immidiatelly reminded me on Coco M. I would never ever try a perfume from supermarket, but when I saw they sell it now and knowing roll-on, I tried it immidiately. The first few seconds impression was nothing much, but fortunately quickly grew into something really nice.
For the price of 4$ it is amazing discovery. IMO, the perfume itself is much beyond its price. I never bought a dupe, but I couldn’tt resist this one 😉
On me it does not have synthetic smell (if so, only few sec after applaying). The longevity is also ok, especially on the clothes, when I tested it on my wrist, it hits a bit the end of the sleav where I felt it for a few days.
For the price tag of 4$ it is improper to comment the bottle design, the content itself already worth much more, I am even surprised they sell it in the box!

I didn’t even realize that this was considered to be a dupe for Coco Mademoiselle when I basically swiped every box off of the shelf of a Lidl I was at in Vronov, a small Slovakian village. It was about 3 Euro per box. It is heady, warm and womanly. I smell a lot of citrus, patchouli, rose, musk and actually, a coffee bean scent as well. I do think the notes resemble CM, however the dry down represents something a bit more synthetic and weird smelling on me. There is something a wee bit harsh about the final product, but in a blind side by side test, more people selected Madame Glamour over Coco Mademoiselle, hands down! Can you do better? Probably… but not for 3 Euro.

Yes, it’s a dupe for Coco Mademoiselle. But it’s sickly synthetic especially in the opening. It makes me feel nauseated. After a while it calms down a bit and becomes more enjoyable.
Lonegivity is very weak but for the price I can’t complain. Sillage is moderate. It becomes a bit sweeter as it evolves.
Would I buy it again? No.
Can you impress people with it and say you’re wearing Chanel without being found out? Hell yes.
I guess the decision is ultimately up to you.
соуп – :
Ah, finally 🙂 This is a little gem! Fresher than Miss Dior (Cherie) and without the heavy patchouli (and warm notes) of CM EDP. Closest o the EDT I think. A very nice fragrance on its own that drew inspiration from all the ones listed above. A lot of people thought I was wearing Chanel or Dior. Will def get another bottle. Lovely on it’s own and perfect for a touch-up on the go.
fisher-34 – :
I don’t know if this is a dupe for Dior’s perfume because I do not own that one, but it’s a nice floral perfume, not overly sweet and without having that strange smell that most cheap perfumes have. I will definitely keep buying it.
wsergius – :
perfect dupe for Coco Mademoiselle , for the lowest cost
bili – :
When I just smell the bottle spritzer nozzle, this smells interesting and intriguing, but the first spritz, I thought oh no, was not promising, nor about the first 15 to 20 minutes…..BUT..wait for it..this dries down and settles, this does smell a *bit* like Coco Mademoiselle. Now, interestingly, I love Coco Mademoiselle on others, but on me, Coco Mademoiselle always smells..kind of, well.. not beautiful on me like it does on others. To me, this Suddenly Madame Glamour is in the same vein as Coco Mademoiselle, and smells better on me than Coco Mademoiselle…Not a dupe, but more of “If you like that, you will like this” type of deal. Like those drugstore ‘clones’ of more pricey fragrances.
Projection/sillage is soft to moderate. I spritzed a good 4 to 5 spritzes and you need to be up close to smell this. So, this is not room-filling. Longevity is not great, this wears off fairly quickly, so you might have to “refresh” with a couple spritzes as the day wears on.
Kind of surprised the patchouli is voted as the very top note, the patchouli here for me is not that strong/potent. I mainly get a soft floral with a bare touch of sweetness. I feel like the soft woodiness from the vetiver keeps this from being too floral and definitely not too sweet. I have to really strain my nose to pick up the musk; but oddly, I think the musk *may* be a little more stronger here for me than the patchouli. But for me, there is no ‘shining star’ note, no note that dominates; just very nicely blended; a very pleasant surprise.
The only downfall (besides poor longevity) are the initial 15 minutes can be a little chemical/manufactured smelling, with a touch of alcohol (medicine chest alcohol, not boozy alcohol). But if you wait the initial 20 minutes or so for the ‘top notes’ (?) to calm down, this is a lovely soft floral. Perhaps I expected too much from this, with all the Coco Mademoiselle comparisons. As is, aside from that comparison, this is a lovely soft feminine fragrance. Reminds me of something my mom would have worn when I was growing up. I just wish this lasted longer on me. This one surprised me. Happy to have it in my “collection”.

I purchased the eau de parfum suddenly madame glamour as a very cheap alternative to coco mademoiselle by chanel since it is very expensive, to my surprise it smells very very similar almost the same! It has a tiny more of an oriental smell than coco Although when it settles quiets down a bit it is the EXACT same as coco mademoiselle. The fragrance doesn’t have good longevity at all, by 2 hours its close to gone only people close to you would smell it. It still lingers on the clothes you wear but not a lot. For the price and the smell its very worth it even though it doesn’t last.
Jevgenij1 – :
Finally on data base!!Hurray!!I first heard of Suddenly 3 years ago while reading an article on a newspaper about how Suddenly was chosen over other designer fragrances based on a blind test. I was very intrigued as I often shop at Lidl but it never crossed my mind to check their fragrances (snobbish I know hhh) so I got one for £1.99!!!it was on promotion for half its price. It does indeed bear striking resemblance to Coco Mademoiselle which I have too, the longevity is not outstanding but still decent and stays a good 5 hours on my usually perfume eating skin. I`ve had several compliments while wearing it. I`m at my second bottle now, a very versatile and beautiful fragrance. The bottle clearly lacks aesthetics but who cares, we`re after the smell, aren’t` we? Lidl has really done a great job and at this price it is a crime not to have it lol

I really don’t have much to add to supremexcess review. I’m glad I bought it at a Lidl in Germany though, since I never see Lidl fragrances in Denmark, but maybe I’m just shopping at the wrong Lidl. I put it back the first time I tested it because the first few seconds were awful. The fragrance grew on me on the ride back to our vacation base, so I went back and bought it the next day. My newly unboxed fragrance smells just fine out of the bottle. I think the tester was just off. I’ve also been told that Suddenly is supposed to be similar to Coco Mademoiselle which I can’t afford right now and I can’t compare since I haven’t tested Chanel’s Coco Mademoiselle. I just hope the comparion is right, since I bought Suddenly with the intend of finding out if this type of fragrance is for me, because it’s so different from anything else I own which is strange, because I’m familiar with all the notes and they’re all notes I like.
Unlike the first reviewer here, others have said the longevity is poor, but Suddenly was less than 5 Euro and you get a full 50ml so I’m not bothered about the longevity.
I’m not a fan of the bottle either. But I can live with that since I like the perfume alright and it was so cheap and good for the price.
Suddenly Madame Glamour is a high-end clean with a bit of patchouli (warm kind of clean, not sharp) on me. Within an hour it’s just soft clean on me, inoffensive and classy. So that’s fine with me at this price.

I’m not a fan of this one but their suddenly diamonds is the best cheapie perfume I’ve tried for a long time.. like boss orange

It seems like I am the first to comment on this fragrance and let me tell right away it’s really not bad at all.
The other night when I was shopping in Lidl I found this this little gem next to some really cheap deodorants. At first I was a little put off by the cheap and tacky looking bottle but I decided to try it anyway and I am glad I did. It has a really nice blend of that really modern clean patchouli (like in Flowerbomb) and citrus flowers/ neroli and it lasts quite a long time. I believe it is supposed to be very similar to Coco Mademoiselle but I can’t comment on that as I have never smelled that. Anyway you can’t really go wrong with Suddenly Madame Glamour as it’s dirt cheap (some 5 or 7 dollars and on sale it’s can be found for as low as 2 or 3 dollars) So if you are in need of a quick pick-me-up and not afraid of a tacky bottle and somewhat silly name then give Madame Glamour a whirl!!
