Cashmere by Next.

I love it and someone always comments on it.

Tehmina2 · 13/10/2019 17:10

Believe it or not I get compliments on my Vaseline Aloe Vera antiperspirant deodorant spray!

Also Davidoff Cool Water Wave woman which is cheap when it's on offer.

Body Shop White Musk. It seems to do something to men of a certain age (45-50ish)

Also Yardley's Royal Diamond - like a very light version of Chloe.

Lovely, Sarah Jessica Parker. Paradise from Next.

MoominKitty · 13/10/2019 17:17

Charlie red perfume, 3 quid in savers, always get compliments from friends and strangers 😂

FaithInfinity · 13/10/2019 17:17

I wear CK one still! Never found anything else that suits me better. I also have Kylie’s Darling that was a gift. I get compliments on that. Sadly it’s been discontinued.

My sister wear Suddenly from Lidl and I was amazed how nice she smelled!

People have complimented my perfume parlour fake jo malone ones.

Love perfume parlour!

Weatherwax · 13/10/2019 17:23

Yes, everyone loves my Britney perfume! Also a lovely Avon one from Eva Mendes' range. Apparently smeels like Dior? And Noa, always a winner, not dirt cheap but cheaper than most fancy perfumes.

Paradise from Next.

Big bottle for £14 with free hand cream.

Doesn’t last very well but I use loads and don’t feel guilty.

cricketmum84 · 13/10/2019 17:42

Suddenly from Lild is lovely.

Also recently an Avon one bought for £6 soft musk fleur de chocolat. Even the young lad who sits next to me at work commented on how nice it smelled.

Wheninfrome · 13/10/2019 17:46

Another vote for Suddenly from Lidl

Feelslikecrystal · 13/10/2019 17:48

Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker & Paul Smith Rose always under £20 for 100ml & both EDP.

ClutchinMahPurrrls · 13/10/2019 17:49

All the Perfume Parlour Jo Malone scents.

ClutchinMahPurrrls · 13/10/2019 17:50

PP roll ons are £3 each.

ProseccoIsTheAnswerHere · 13/10/2019 17:52

Ahh honestly Fantasy gives me the boak when I smell it, I do think it smells cheap and its strong

pinkmagic1 · 13/10/2019 17:52

Came on to say Britney Spears Fantasy! Also Avon Little Black Dress.

Roselilly36 · 13/10/2019 17:58

Lidl suddenly glamour, always gets compliments.

TheTurn0fTheScrew · 13/10/2019 18:03

the primark Jo Malone knock offs
I've had the both the peony, and sea salt ones and they're so convincing
however I wonder if the copyright lawyers have caught up with them, as they've not been in stock recently.

Not a perfume as such, but Hawaiian Tropic body spray, which I bought for a holiday spritz. I have the one that smells of coconut and raspberry.
