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

Next just pink is lovely. And apparently just like Ralph Lauren Romance.

Was about to say Lovestruck! Really cheap in Home Bargains.

I love Body Shop Black Musk - it smells like Diesel Loverdose. I also love Casmir by Chopard which is about 12 quid these days but my god is it strong!

Vera Wang Lovestruck is amazing value. It’s the nicest smell ever. £19.99 in TK Maxx for 100mls

Do body shop still do musk deoderant?
I think that is a nice base for a fresher crisper scent.

I don't think the Lidil smells similar to Chanel at all.
It is much sharper and lacks the warmer note of the original.
Everyone seems to be wearing it though...Confused
I don't think the Next ones last.
I agree with buying a scent that isn't fashionable- excellent deals there.

Body Shop white musk. I used to bathe in the stuff as a teen and rediscovered it about 15 Yrs ago. I spend a small fortune on other faves like Angel and aromatics but this is the one that always gets the most comments. It's my husband's favourite and he buys me a bottle every Christmas. It lasts and lasts on the skin x

TK Maxx has some great perfumes in for amazing prices. I love Elizabeth Arden perfumes because they actually last and are so cheap, Cabochard by Gres, Vanderbilt and the Elizabeth Taylor ones on Amazon as you get loads of perfume for next to nothing and the smells are lovely.

Or lesser know perfume houses like 4160 Tuesdays who regularly clear out stock.

If you want bargains just go for proper branded scents that have fallen out of favour.
LouLou, CK Contradiction, Cabotine Gres etc.

It’s not supposed to smell like Coco, it’s supposed to smell like Mademoiselle.

I second the rec for al rehab.
Also Chloe Narcisse, Cabotine by Gres

I was surprised how nice SJP Lovely is. Dirt cheap.

Sparkle smells very similar to me, but I admit I can tell the difference as I vastly prefer the scent of the Lidl.

Next Summer Sun is lovely. £10 for 100 ml and a big tube of shower gel. Bargain.

IMO Suddenly Madame Glamour smells absolutely nothing like Coco Chanel and doesn’t last long. It’s very pleasant but don’t kid yourself.

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

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.

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

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