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
 
Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

€60,-

I think it is La Reina de Saba on Rúa da Algalia de Arriba.



They also have a FB account.

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"?


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.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
