Budget perfumes or copies ...what are your favourites.

[Dowser]

I’ve bought a couple budget ones in Tenerife as I’ve wanted to try something different yet a lot of the more expensive ones , I’m talking €40 or more , I don’t like. By the time I’ve sniffed 3 or 4 my nose has gone and I don’t want to splurge in case I get it home and am disappointed. Or I buy tried and tested hermes ones like verte orange, caleche etc
So,
I thought I’d try a few cheaper ones.
I tried Springfield love green at €17_99 which seemed quite a nice fresh smell.
I seem to go more for fresh citrusy ones.

I bought some hortensia h cyprum which I rather liked and that was €11 which is a bit heavier but not sweet
Azure de Puig..was about €7
Luz de flor .serena about €6

I’d also like someone to talk to me about these PP perfumes
Is that Perfume Parlour?

I am madly in love with "Stella" by a company called "Vernet", they do several and both women and mens.

It is £5 for a 15ml bottle and just smells expensive.
