Best perfume parlour buys?

I'm all out of my current perfumes but no cash for the real deal right now. I'm after a shower fresh or fresh floral or citrus scent. I have Lacoste pink and flower bomb and Davidoff and Boss orange and Chanel allure but fancy a change. I hate Chanel 5 and Coco but open to other picks if PP do a good one to tide me over to pay day
Thanks!

I've bought tons of perfume parlour and nearly all of them have been great. So much so that I can't remember the duff ones! Sorry not v helpful but generally I've looked for recommendations on here for the real thing and then tried to get the perfume parlour equivalent. They are so cheap I haven't worried if I don't like them. I've been buying a few samples of the real thing on eBay but they are often more expensive.

Thinking about it I think my best one has been the issey miyake l'eau d'Issey dupe. But if you don't like the original you won't like it iyswim. The worst likeness was probably Red Roses Jo Malone. I also didn't like their Sun, Moon, Stars by Karl Lagerfeld but I don't know the original.

Also, if you search perfume parlour or dupes on here you'll probably get a few good discussions,

They also last ages as are oils.

The Issey Miyake one is lovely and clean/fresh

Their version of TF Rose Prick is very good

For cheapies:
I've just brought Body Shop Indian Jasmine, which smells like a light version of Jean Paul Gultier.
A good FM fake is Miss Dior.
One of my favourite daytimes is Paul Smith Rose, which you can usually pick up on offer somewhere, so cheap enough to buy the genuine.
