Hi All

I've run out of perfume and am looking for a relatively 'cheap' option until my birthday when I can get something a bit nicer, budget is around £20/£25 I prefer floral/fresh types rather than anything heavy/musky

What do you wear/recommend?

Go to Lidl and buy Madame Glamour. It's a Chanel type smell. Lovely.

I like the Next perfumes. Gold is particularly nice.

I was going to recommend the Lidl one too Grin

Other than that I wear Elizabeth Arden Sunflowers which is dirt cheap or 4711 which is under a tenner.

I'd go for Rose by Paul Smith - lovely stuff

Soap and Glory original Pink is lovely. £15 for 50ml at Boots, usually on a 3 for 2 offer too.

Next flowers is a dupe for Marc Jacob daisy - nice and summery.

I'd try that dupe perfume place which is always recommended on here. Think it's perfume parlour? Someone will confirm I hope.

The little bottles of perfume oil cost about £3 and are brilliant - I've been so pleased with mine. You can get a spray too if you prefer. Quality is excellent.

I wear Elizabeth Arden Sunflowers a lot. And I also like Giorgio G (the purple one). Can get both from places like home bargains and they're lovely. I'm really fussy about perfumes and a lot of more expensive ones I just don't like at all, but I've loved those two for years. My absolute favourite is a ghost summer one that was limited addition 😭 And I like Gucci rush and Versus by Versace (which is often quite affordable too actually).

I really like Zara perfumes, and you'd get three different sorts for that much

New look do some nice ones, don't last all day but £8ish a bottle and you can get handbag sizes for a couple of pounds

Have you got a local Avon person of non-specific gender?

Some of theirs are pleasant enough. Me auntie often gets me one at Christmas.

Fuji Green Tea by The Body Shop is gorgeous. The scent lasts ages too.

I've just bought M&S Aqua after it was recommended here, and it's really nice - very floral and summery, and lasts all day. I normally wear Clinique Happy but wanted an inexpensive change.

Both square multi coloured bottles of Britney Spears are fresh and lovely....B&M do them! ☺
