Inexpensive perfume for work?

Hi everyone Smile

Looking for some recommendations for a perfume for work that won’t break the bank. I work in a uni so any light, inoffensive scents welcome... I’m not very fussy Grin Longevity is a big bonus as I’m often out for about 12 hours and even my pricey ones struggle to last the day. Thank you!

Britney spears midnight fantasy or beyonce heat. They are two classics with lovely smells and last ages

Channel mademoiselle body mist. Its not as strong as the parfume and it smellsoavely and fresh.

@BlueSkyAtChristmas Thanks for the shout out! So lovely. Here are some posts from my blog about good every day perfume that's affordable and won't kill any colleagues.

The new Zara Range made by Jo Malone ( around £15 a bottle) bit.ly/2KXE32R

A round up of the current Avon range ( almost all under a tenner) bit.ly/2KXE32R

Hope you find something you like! Avon Eve Truth is gorgeous. One of their best.

I am surprised but relieved that nobody on this thread has mentioned Gloria Vanderbilt yet 😂

Christina Aguilera is nice too, and so is Katy Perry Killer Queen (dupe La Vie est belle).
Sarah Jessica Parker Lovely (dupe for Narciso Rodriguez for her)

I use Next Nude, it's so cheap I'm happy to top up at lunchtime!

I like The Sanctuary body spray and perfume. Using both means it lasts without being overpowering and I’ve had more “you smell nice” comments since I started wearing it than I received with any of my more expensive perfumes.

Beauty Pie lime fragrance is lovely but the longevity isn’t the best.
The Rosie perfumes in M&S are really good imo.

YY to Next Cashmere. Here's a review I wrote about it. Great value too! bit.ly/2Urg6H9

I must say I agree re The Next perfumes. Very good for the price!!

I tried a perfume in m&s and something very similar in Primark. The main difference was that the Primark one faded more quickly but it was so much cheaper you could afford to resprsy. I'd say get along to Primark and have a good sniff.
