Santiago replication Scent store

[artsschmidt]

There is a shop in the old town of Santiago that sells a wide variety of replicated scents. I bought some while there and was going to buy more next trip but...COVID. It is in a cute shop that i think is on a small corner. The scents are in large glass jars on the shelves and the proprietor fills smaller bottles for the customer. Does anyone know the name? Thank you, Shirley

Ha, my first thought was this meant replication of the smells of the Camino! I imagined cow dung, body odour and stinky socks

I would sign up for the cow pies. In Asturias & Galicia it smelled to me as fresh mown grass and freshly fallen Spring rain.

Shirley -clearly if you’re planning a repeat purchase you were happy with the products. Did you feel that the replicas were close matches to the originals, or just decent products in their own right?

I did buy my wife a replica fragrance product once - and the feedback was far from positive.

I am curious - what are "replicated scents"?

Knock off perfumes, such as a cheaper version of Chanel No 5

But it is a legal sale. The manufacturers replicate/duplicate the basic formula of a certain scent but with cheaper ( and not always with the same chemical elements ) ingredients.
But it is not counterfeit material like the fake perfumes that customs take in custody.

In the UK try Milton Lloyd
