It's been done before (by myself) but what cheap perfumes do you all swear by?

I like Neal's Yard Frankincense. Of all my scents (all more pricey) it's the only one I get compliments on. And it was a gift from my MIL. Hmm www.nealsyardremedies.com/bath-and-body/body/fragrance/2500.html

Versace is £20 on offer, it's lovely.

Look at Perfume Parlour, their oils are gorgeous.

Most of the Zara ones are lovely, as are the M&S and Next ranges. All designer rip offs!

I like SJP's Lovely, which can usually be picked up for peanuts in the Fragrance Shop and similar.

//www.preciouspearls.co.uk do fantastic and cheap perfume oils. Good copies of most of the designer stuff and I find longer lasting too.

Vanderbilt by Gloria Vanderbilt, around the £10 mark. M&S perfumes are nice. The Body Shop nice too.

Suddenly Madame Glamour by Lidl. £3.99. Martin Lewis did a blind test between this and Chanel no 5 (it's a pretty decent dupe) and found it 'virtually indistinguishable'. I actually prefer the scent of the Lidl to the Chanel and have completely switched over as the Lidl lasts much longer on my skin throughout the day too.

There was a huge flurry around it a few years ago when people realised you can get a decent Chanel dupe for less than a fiver! I love it, it's become my signature scent and smells like it costs ten times what it does. Highly recommend for anyone, it's a lovely treat and pick me up for so little cost.

Oops sorry, it's a dupe for Coco Mademoiselle. Not Chanel no 5. Either way I wouldn't waste my money on Chanel ever again now I found this! So happy.

I second lidls one. I quite blush by new look too. They have three fragrances (i think) but the other two are a bit to sickly sweet for me

Another fan of Hashtag I Love You here. It smells just like a posh pâtisserie to me. I also like Hashtag Rock It, which has coffee notes and reminds me a little of Black Opium. Rock It is also a fiver from The Fragrance Shop.

My sister bought Suddenly from Lidl, I laughed at her but another day I said ‘Ohh you smell nice’ and that’s what she was wearing!

I still wear CK One. It’s pretty cheap these days, I’ve just never found another perfume that suits me as well as that one.

Al Rehab perfume oils from Amazon. They're about £2 each and last really well. My favourites are Nebraska and Bakhoor

Recently bought Sunflower by Elizabeth Arden after a recommendation on here. It's lovely about about £15 for 100ml

M by Mariah Carey is about £20 for 100ml on Amazon - the one in the purple bottle, I get more compliments for that than any of my Jo Malone perfumes.

If you like something sweeter but not sickly then Sexy Graffiti by Escada is about £25 for 100ml again really nice softer scent but lasts all day.

Body shop is nice, I quite like Japanese blossom and night jasmine.
