Next perfumes

I’m on the hunt for a new perfume and I’m looking to go cheap. My DH has a lot of next ones and they all smell lovey so I’m hoping the women’s fragrance is just as nice.

I’ve looked online at the dupe lists but they seem to be a bit out of date now.

Can anyone recommend ones that are either sweet or fresh? I’m not keen on musky scents

Just Pink is lovely, it's a dupe for RL Romance.

Newnamemyname · 27/12/2020 21:54

Eau de Nude is my favourite from there. I can't liken it to a more upmarket brand but the best way I can describe it is understated and classy.

Everley · 28/12/2020 00:14

I really like Just Pink too, it’s a green & fresh floral.

whereiscaroline · 28/12/2020 00:14

I've just got Cashmere from one of their advent calendars and it's gorgeous!

NoSquirrels · 28/12/2020 00:17

They do good tester packages for Christmas so if you can get one in the same then it’s a good chance to try them all out.

purplecorkheart · 28/12/2020 00:21

Zara also used to do nice ones.

MrsDThomas · 28/12/2020 09:33

I love Nude and Flowers. I don’t “do” expensive perfume. I also love FM 489 which is Alien. Last all day and i can still smell it on my clothes in the wardrobe.

Itmaybeus · 28/12/2020 09:35

Another vote for just pink - I always get lovely comments when I'm wearing it more so than any of the more expensive ones I've worn).

Find yourself a FM rep they're very reasonable and you can choose whatever you fancy trying without braking the bank. I went into boots and had a sniff of a few then ordered the Fm equivalent. You can buy little samples too I think.

Next perfume is pretty decent. There's a lush summer one that's in a red bottle that's a dupe which I actually prefer to the branded one.

mnahmnah · 28/12/2020 09:41

I use their Happiness one and love it. Fruity, a bit floral

EvelynBeatrice · 28/12/2020 09:45

It depends what you like. I hate overly sweet fruity perfumes which are very popular at the moment. Next has many of these which others have referenced above, but also has some woody/chypre type fragrance too. My favourite is Next’s ‘Enchantment’. It is quite complex for the price point and smells very differently from person to person. It’s woody/ light patchouli/ boudoir type powdery. Very good for Autumn/ winter. I also like ‘Summer sun’ which to my nose is a nicer (less ‘furniture polish smelling!) version of Estée Lauder’s best selling summer fragrance Bronze Goddess. You can try Next perfumes cheaply by purchasing the handbag size £4 minis or deodorant sprays.

I had a Next perfume I loved - I think it was called Enchanted or Enchantment, sooo nice!

EdwardCullensBiteOnTheSide · 28/12/2020 10:12

Next perfumes are really good and so cheap, the small bottles are ace to try them out.

RedRec · 28/12/2020 10:17

A vote for Sparkle here. My daughter has it and I keep borrowing it. It is gorgeous.

RedRec · 28/12/2020 10:18

...Sparkle is both sweet and fresh.

MrsDThomas · 28/12/2020 10:22

Yes to Sparkle! My daughter loves it.

myusernamewastakenbyme · 28/12/2020 10:30

Please don't follow advice upthread about FM perfumes....its a shitty mlm scam and the less people that buy from them the sooner they will die out (hopefully).

WingBingo · 28/12/2020 10:36

Agree about FM.

Perfume Parlour is the best place to find dupes.

wintertime6 · 28/12/2020 10:42

Zara has lovely perfumes. I recently discovered powdery magnolia which is a dupe for Chloe, it's really lovely.

LetsGoFlyAKiteee · 28/12/2020 11:18

I like that their mini version are quite big for the price you pay. Really like Flowers.

nevernotstruggling · 28/12/2020 13:34

Agree please don't feed the FM mlm!!

LindaEllen · 28/12/2020 13:35

I love Just Pink, and it's really cheap! :)

Ireallywantsomechips · 28/12/2020 17:18

Thanks so much everyone! Well I went today armed with your suggestions and they bloomin had all the testers out! They haven’t for months 😂 I agree just pink is lovely! I also loved enchanted and eau nude! I bought some small bottles so I can see how they wear! I got Rouge Absolute which is nothing like I usually wear but I really liked it!

Don’t worry I’m anti MLM - everyone and their hamster sells it around here!
