Sweet or bold perfume that doesn't break the bank!

lightgreyandpalepink · 19/11/2022 21:04

I was just reading the thread about inexpensive perfume but I didn't want to hijack!

Any recommendations on perfumes which are either bold or sweet please? I'm not keen on floral scents. Obviously with everything going on at the moment I'm not able to afford a bottle of the real deal so I welcome ideas on dupes or perfumes ive never tried (and their dupes!) Or just cheap ones Smile

Perfume i love;

JPG - Classique (sp?)
Mac - Candy Yum Yum
Britney - Fantasy
YSL -Black Opium

Thank you!

Loverdose by Diesel is strong & sweet & often around the £30 mark.
All the Jimmy Choo perfumes are quite strong, Blossom is probably the sweetest but Flash is really nice & generally on offer somewhere for around £25!

I've just bought this www.boots.com/aoura-love-rush-edp-10286621 and the Midnight Passion version as well. £7.99 for a huge bottle, the scent actually lasts well and is really nice. Decent enough for day to day wear.

Thanks both, I'll check those out!

Agent provocateur Fatale Intense

Sweet but not juvenile. Quite sexy.

I found that Aoura Love Rush ( both the perfume and body mist) did not last long on my skin at all. About an hour and a half.

Artiscent Atelier Patchouli Passion is much better.

They are both supposed to be dupes of Lancome La Vie Est Belle.

The Superdrug ones in the white bottles are lovely. They are dupes of more expensive perfumes. My favourite is Vanille Blush which iirc is a dupe of Dior Forever and Ever

If you wanted a decent and cheap dupe of La Vie est Belle then M&S Pink Pepper is pretty good and is about £12 for a big bottle

IF you are near an Other Stories shop then try theirs.

They have some really lovely and reasonably prices scents.
