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

Next cashmere - £12 for 100mls

4610 Tuesdays sexiest scent on the planet ever - £15 for 9mls

Truth or Dare is great Grin. Ditto to Yardley Jade.

Elizabeth Taylor perfumes are fantastic quality for cheapies. My personal favourites are Passion (big 80s beast of a fragrance) and Diamonds and Rubies (vintage, powdery, spicy peaches), but they're all excellent quality.

Dont knock celebrity fragrances, in fact. Definitely worth sniffing until you find one or two you like. I have a few 'loves' by celebs...

Chopard Casmir is another cheap fave of mine (very heady, old school peach/vanilla/spices). Chopard also do a perfume called Wish, which I don't personally like, but is a good dupe or at least 'sister' to Mugler Angel at under £20.

If you like oriental/spicy/sweet - worth checking out Arabian oils and their spray versions, too. Al-Haramain and Al-Rehab are good brands to start with. Cheap and widely available online.

My favourite perfume is the original Lolita Lempicka and you can usually find it on discount fragrance sites for half its rrp.

Library of Fragrance Honeysuckle. £15 I think but always in tk maxx for about £6.99. it's gorgeous!

sportyfool · 05/02/2018 17:56

I always wear tommy girl .. I can usually get a 500 ml bottle for around £20 and most days people say I smell nice . It's a really nice smell and cheap . What's not to love 🤷‍♀️

WhenEnoughIsEnough · 05/02/2018 17:56

I love all of Katy Perry's perfumes.

Mossbystrand · 05/02/2018 18:09

Radiance by M&S, it's about £12 but smells a lot pricier.

BluebellGal · 05/02/2018 18:49

I second the Bath House Velvet Orchid and cardamom- wonderful perfume (created by Ruth Mastenbroek) excellent longevity

I also like Coty L’aimant - about £7 from Boots - but rarely wear it - it’s very strong

Also Perfume parlour dupes. People rave about Prada Iris and Iris cedre but I’ve not tried them (but absolutely love the originals). The Francis Kurkdjian are pretty spot on too

BluebellGal · 05/02/2018 18:50

Oh yes and next Cashmere is good too especially for the price (if you like a good musk)

toomuchlikehardwork · 05/02/2018 18:51

The original Mariah Carey one in the dark purple bottle is amazing and you can get that for about £20 for 100ml on Amazon

I was accusing dd of stealing my flowerbomb but it was actually a new look one she has (not sure the exact name, but light pink in colour) honestly smells identical!

IntoTheFloodAgain · 05/02/2018 19:03

DKNY Women. I’m cheating slightly as it’s only the small bottle that’s £15. It is lovely though.

DwangelaForever · 05/02/2018 19:06

Primark's jo malone dupe - Pomegranite and black tea 💖 £6 (or the jasmine and honey)

mrsreynolds · 05/02/2018 19:06

Perfume parlour opium is spot on
Incredible for £8 for 30mls

MrsDilber · 05/02/2018 19:11

Another one for Suddenly. I prefer it to my expensive perfumes and often get complimented on it.

Thing is, it's so popular, the ebay prices for it are going up and up.

MrsMoggy · 05/02/2018 19:13

Versace red jeans. Or next sparkle

CastielIsMyAngel · 05/02/2018 19:13

Interesting thread but I have two questions

  1. Where can I get Clinique Happy for under £20?
2 Where do they sell 500ml bottles of perfume?! That's half a litre! It would last me a good while instead of running out constantly
photographyaddict · 05/02/2018 19:13

By Invitation by Michael Bublé, normally expensive AF in shops I got 2 for £15 in Savers Grin

ABuckToothedGirlinLuxembourg · 05/02/2018 19:14

Another vote for SJP lovely, it really is err....lovely.

CountFosco · 05/02/2018 19:15

L'Atelier des Bois de Grasse
The workshop of Fat Wood Luxury Amber Pink Grapefruit Cologne £11.68 on Amazon for 100ml. It's lovely, fresh and warm and spicy.

Another vote for SJP Lovely. Best celebrity fragrance.

gaggiagirl · 05/02/2018 19:17

Next paradise
Tommy girl
SJP lovely
Chopard wish

I'm trying out Katy Perry mad potion and Jessica Simpson fancy nights this week.

sportyfool · 05/02/2018 19:20

Sorry .. I meant 200 ml 😳

BBTHREE76 · 05/02/2018 19:24

Tommy Girland Cacharel Eden (smells like melons) are two of my all time faves

DextroDependant · 05/02/2018 19:25
