Cheap perfume recommendations that don’t smell shit?

[SummersB]

I like nice a nice “clean” smell, also citrusy or quite sweet. So fairly open to a lot of scents.
Just looking for a nice smell I can use everyday for work. I have a really nice perfume (La vie est belle) which I love but I’m trying to save for nice occasions as I won’t be able to splash out on it again for a loooong time.
Any recommendations for a nice scent that doesn’t have that “cheap” underlying smell that a lot of budget scents seem to have?

Primark ones are indeed excellent value. I Have a mint and cucumber one which is a lovely clean scent

I sometimes use a body shop one (i think it's called Fiji) and quite a few people have commented (nicely) on it. It's quite light and fresh - and a bit like pomegranate/watermelon.

Ds once squirrel me with one of those 'smelly likey' ones in th chemists and it was lovely - but he didn't know which bottle it was. It was like chanel #5 (I recognised the smell as I used to use it when I was young and had more money)

How cheap are we talking ? I always use origins ginger essence and get loads of compliments very citrusy.
Also &Other Stories do really nice body sprays which last quite well and all smell lovely (i have the fig and the moroccan tea ones)

Roger & Gallet Cedrat? Citrusy

Any of the Sarah Jessica Parker scents are nice. I've got either Lovely or Stash that I wear for work/during the day. Some of the Next ones are nice too, and huge bottles for the money. My DDs have got several between them. Also agree with M & S, some of theirs are really unusual and a good price.

M&S New York & true red are lovely

Also Bodyshop ones are nice. Black musk is my favorite, smoky and spicy.

I have perfume parlour Dove soap one and it lasts all day (in fact it can be too strong if I don't wear very little)

I second the H&M range and BS Fijian Lotus. The Yardleys are also excellent.
Superdrug Bloom range is amazing.

Primark: love rose £3.50 smells fab
M&s: aqua smells amazing like copy of issey miyake.
Lidl: suddenly is excellent
Next perfumes are copies of carious scents and lovely to x

H&M Formentera is fantastic - great price too.

I won the Britney spears perfume at the school tombola. It was nice!

I LOVE the M&S Monotheme range, vintage looking bottles and lovely scents.

Currently wearing Rose or Red Fig.

M&S Sheer Radiance is gorgeous
