Affordable every day perfume? Zara, Perfume Parlour etc

I’m looking for some affordable everyday/ work perfume and the magic of mumsnet searches seems to suggest Zara Or Perfume Parlour oils, however both have an overwhelming choice of fragrances.

I like crisp, clean, citrusy, herby, green fragrances, not too sweet and not too floral fruity (although a bit of each is ok). My favourites in summer are Diptyque Philosykos and Shay Blood Oranges but both are too expensive for the rate I go through it.

Can you give me some alternative suggestions to try out from Zara/ Perfume Parlour or other?

Next are great for everyday perfume most of their range come in about £12 for 100ml . Most are also dupes for well known scents. J Lo's ranges can also be found on Amazon with 100ml bottles being quite reasonable too.

Yardley Jade - cool, crisp, green.

D&G Light Blue can be found fairly cheaply these days and is a classic, clean citrus.

Mary Greenwell Lemon is a heavier but still fresh citrus chypre.

Have you tried any of the Clean or Philosophy fragrances?

Yardley Jade is almost the same as Chanel Cristalle.
PP are dupes, so just put your favourite in and get the dupe for a fiver. The Rive Gauche is excellent and quite citrussy and they do all the Tom Ford/Jo Malone citrussy ones.
