I like Elizabeth Arden 5th Avenue and Madonna Truth or Dare but interested to see if there are other good ones within that price range

Lidl do one called Suddenly by Madame Glamour. It lasts ages and it's only £3.99! Dh says it's the nicest one I've had

Talisin · 05/02/2018 14:37

SJP Lovely and Next’s Paradise.

ReggaetonLente · 05/02/2018 14:40

SJP Lovely, Britney Spears Fantasy, Clinique Happy.

SophieLion · 05/02/2018 15:02

I wear Lovely most days during the day and people are always asking me what perfume I'm wearing.

PineappleTits · 05/02/2018 15:05

Lady gaga - 100ml for£10 available in bm and it's lovely

ScaryMary81 · 05/02/2018 15:06

Eau de Nude by next as it smells just like Coco Madamoiselle.

Paradise by Next which I just like to wear occasionally.

BillywigSting · 05/02/2018 15:06

Another vote for suddenly by lidl.

Also quite like mad potion by Katy Perry despite not particularly liking Katy Perry

Argeles · 05/02/2018 15:07

Britney Spears Midnight Fantasy.
Suddenly by Lidl.
Rosie Nuit - M&S.

UsernameInvalid66 · 05/02/2018 16:00

A nice one I've found recently is Petal Crush at New Look. The name sounds light and cutesy but it's got oud in it, among other things, and actually smells quite spicy and mysterious. Also Like Body Shop Smoky Rose.

Lilmisskittykat · 05/02/2018 16:02

Suddenly by Lidl is a copy of coco mademoiselle
(So?!😂) good one too... I use it in the day and save real stuff for nights out etc

LuxuryWoman2017 · 05/02/2018 16:05

Next Eau de Nude is just like Coco Mademoiselle and a bit stronger than the Lidl one. Next Cashmere is quite nice too.

Dontsayyouloveme · 05/02/2018 16:19

Lilypad by Zara! Have had many comments!

TossDaily · 05/02/2018 16:22

JLo Glow. I absolutely love it.

WellThatsATurnipForTheBooks · 05/02/2018 16:23

I like Elizabeth Arden Green Tea for daytimes

SaigonSaigon · 05/02/2018 16:25

Lovely by SJP too

HarrietKettleWasHere · 05/02/2018 16:28

Polka by Primark is in theory nice if you like Paco Rabanne lady millions which it is apparently a dupe of...but I found it really cloying on me. It did last ages though, longer than my current Marc Jacobs which seems to fall off into the ether as soon as I step off my front doorstep.

trqintracks · 05/02/2018 16:31

Eden do a great collection that are cheap and v v similar to lots of high street (and often more expensive) perfumes

Butterfly1975 · 05/02/2018 16:35

I love Bath House perfume (based in the Lakes) I discovered them on holiday and particularly love Velvet Orchid and Cardamom which is a gorgeous oriental vanilla. They have 12ml sizes for under £20.

I also think some of the M&S perfumes are good:
Aqua
True Red
New York

Lolita Lempicka is also one of my favourite ever vanilla fragrances (vanilla and liquorice) and you can often get a bottle under £20.

teta · 05/02/2018 16:39

Lanvin Eclat d Arpege. Lilac, peony and a light musk.

PerfumeIsAMessage · 05/02/2018 16:39

Jade by Yardley is similar to Cristalle. I actually prefer it as it's "greener"

I picked something up in Superdrug called Basil Lime Mandarin which is fab for the fiver I paid.

Obviously Perfume Parlour dupes are all cheap as chips as well.

EfficiencyDeficiency · 05/02/2018 16:42

Omg I have found the most amazing perfume, it smells "expensive" it's called Stella by a company called "Vernet" and I swear it costs £4.99.

I bought it from an independent chemist but have looked it up online too.

MontyPythonsFlyingFuck · 05/02/2018 17:38

Some of the Roger & Gallet colognes are lovely - Bois d'Orange, Cedrat, etc.

spankhurst · 05/02/2018 17:41

Another vote for Yardley Jade. Absolutely love it.
Marks and Spencers do some beautiful scents, although they don't last very long on me.

M0nstermunch · 05/02/2018 17:44

Polka from primark or sjp lovely

TheFlis12345 · 05/02/2018 17:47

Zara have a few nice ones, they are around £12 and the scent lasts well.
