From the post:

>One perfume smells suspiciously like a £355 bottle of Baccarat Rouge 540 eau de parfum. Another, which has notes of grapefruit, rose and Levantine spice, is reminiscent of a £215 bottle of Penhaligon’s Halfeti.

And lawyers now say perfume brands and beauty companies need greater legal protection from rivals who imitate their products.
