Recommendations for cheap everyday perfume

I won't wear good perfume for everyday use. I keep my good ones for best and usually wear a more dated one I can pick up cheap for work. I've just polished off Cerrutti 1881 and some Roberto cavalli. Budget up to £20

The Soap & Glory perfume is lovely as well if they still do it. Very light but lasts.

Thanks JMAngel1 hadn't heard of Milton Lloyd dupes! I've just ordered Poker which sounds perfect for summer work perfume Grin

Doingreat · 03/08/2018 23:16

Do Milton Lloyd or anyone else do a good dupe for chanel no. 5?

Doingreat · 03/08/2018 23:17

The avon femme by herve leger perfume is absolutely beautiful. But i think it's discontinued sadly.

Butterfly1975 · 04/08/2018 13:38

Doingreat - Vogue seems to be the Milton Lloyd dupe for No 5 Smile

Doingreat · 07/08/2018 18:36

Thanks butterfly... will have a look at that perfume. I've always wanted a chanel no5 or dupe. But heard that there are no good dupes of it

Omg. Perfume parlour perfumes arrived. They are disgusting. Smell like washing up liquid and my dad in the 80s. Yuk.

Very helpful Single
Maybe this is not the thread for you.

PunkrockerGirl59 · 12/08/2018 18:12

As pp said, Next do some lovely reasonably priced ones.

I love my Milton Lloyd 'red shoes' which is a dupe of Jimmy Choo.

I bet single is one of those people who answers those automatic Amazon question emails (how big is the item etc) with 'I don't know, I bought it as a gift' WHY BOTHER ANSWERING THEN 😂

Mumshotel · 12/08/2018 18:29

I'll pick up some in next

Hi does anyone know if there is a Milton Lloyd to smell like issey miyake thanks

Bombardier25966 · 12/08/2018 18:40

@Mumshotel Which ones did you order? I use PP a lot and 90% are great, some not so good. Contact them if you think they're faulty, the owners are very friendly.

Mumshotel · 15/08/2018 08:58

I bought 212 copy. Gucci envy me and miracle. These were pretty bad
I also got 2 Tom Ford ones that smell ok, but not that similar to the real thing. But they were super cheap. I've given all but the Tom Ford away and I will use them. Very little staying power, but again the price was very low so it's understandable.
I got an avon little black dress on e bay for £1.50 so I'll give that a whirl too. Xx

Body shops perfumes are a good shout

molineux23 · 04/10/2020 15:47

I recommended cheap victoria secret perfume and this is a beauty retailer, clothing, lingerie, and a brand with an exquisite collection of fragrances.

Another vote for Milton Lloyd Smile

Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker. Its quite cheap, and smells really nice once its been on for a few minutes.

MrsHuntGeneNotJeremyObviously · 05/10/2020 12:05

Be careful with SJP Lovely. It smells great on some people but on me it smelled like cats piss Grin Sadly I only discovered this after buying a large bottle!
Definitely try out a tester if you can first.

I really like Next's Rouge Absolue and Butterfly, for cheapy everyday scents.
