My budget is £50 but any bargains would be great.
I used to love oriental gourmand now I'm not sure. I tried Angel and flowerbomb after a long break and couldn't bare them.
I love Tommy girl. Tom Ford White patchouli.SJP lovely. I like a lot of the fragrances in NEXT.
I Just don't know anymore. I used to be really into fragrance but now I'm a bit lost and I've only got half a bottle of next paradise left.

I love strong fragrances.

Help me please lovely perfumistas!

Cant reccomend a perfume, but there's a purfume shop o can't reccomend highly enough, Les Senteurs, if you're ever in London? www.lessenteurs.com

If you go in and talk to them about perfumes you've loved, they will be able to suggest some. They are amazing.

I stopped a lady in a petrol station today because she smelt incredible. She was wearing Paco Rabanne Olympia

I bought Alien last week after seeing it recommended on here - it's now my absolute favourite! And since wearing it I've had a few people ask me what I'm wearing and comment on how nice it is.

I love DKNY dark night as well.

If you like strong fragrances I recommend something with a sandalwood base, like Gucci by Gucci. It's a strong rich smell and I've always really liked it

Probably won't be the cheapest I might add though...

@Jenda olympea purchased today! Great recommendation. Thank you 😘

I tried all the others mentioned here. Mon guerlain is really lovely. No testers available of Eli Saab which was infuriating.
I also tried the new Mugler scent 'aura' I think it has a hint of mint? It's intriguing anyway.

If you like orientals, I'd for one of the classics. Guerlain Shalimar?

Mugler Alien is a decent contemporary oriental, too.

May I also point you in the direction of the Elizabeth Taylor perfumes. If you can get past the glitzy tacksville packaging and celebrity endorsement, they are a massive win - high quality fragrances and very cheap. The 'Diamonds' range is amazing. My favourites are 'Diamonds and Emeralds' and 'Diamonds and Rubies' are my favourites. Both oriental florals, both a tenner for 100ml on Amazon.
