Influenced by another thread about people complimenting on the perfume your wearing - What's your favourite perfume under £25 ?
I haven't purchased a perfume for a few years and want to try a few new ones.

I didn't know Michael Bublé did ladies' perfume! Lolz

That's nothing - I got Adam Levine For Women (the guy from Maroon 5) from my Secret Santa at work. It is not bad at all either!

Vogue off amazon. I get loads of compliments when I wear it. Its a chanel copy and only costs 5 to 6 quid. I hate cheap perfumes but this one is really nice.

Zara perfumes are brilliant-I wear two: Lightly bloom and Nude bouquet.

SJP Stash. Bloody love it, one of my favourites.

Miss Chicago from Home Bargains. Smells just like Chanel No5. It doesn't last as long as Chanel but for £1.99/30mls it's amazing value

Sarah Jessica Parker - Lovely. I get loads of compliments for this.

Cerrutti 1883 and moshino cheap and chic.

I loved the original pink soap and glory but it's been discontinued.

Has it? When and why? Nooooo!

I only picked up a few bottles last august/ September.

LaCerbiatta · 06/03/2023 21:51

Ambar by Jesus del Pozo. It's warm citrussy and woody. Not amazing staying power but smells very expensive. Love it!

My fav cheap cheap perfume was exclamation, but its been discontinued.
I also loved Gloria by Cacharel, which was discontinued.
And Very Valentino - yes, discontinued.
And Glamourous by Ralph Lauren. Again, discontinued.

😔

Glamorous was my wedding perfume, so disappointed when it was discontinued but I managed to get a great dupe from the Perfume Parlour.

can buy it in M&S

Boogismyname · 06/03/2023 22:03

I'm so in love with my Chanel no 5 dupe:
🌟'Vogue' by Milton Lloyd at £3.50!!!!!!! 🌟
Bottle lasts longer than 6 months with every day use.
I bought it from my local market and the scent lasts and is a very good dupe.
You can buy it from amazon for a little bit more money.
Fantastic.

Gherkingreen · 06/03/2023 22:05

Nuxe Progideux (probably spelt wrong!) from M&S tho other places probably stock it too and the cool summer one are absolutely lovely.

BaronessBomburst · 06/03/2023 22:09

If you find yourself in Spain, anything from Mercadona supermarket. Their perfumes, moisturiser, and mascaras are outstanding.

I used to love Anais Anais, I don't know if it's still available.

Boots still sell it, but you can only get the edt now and it doesn't smell quite the same to me. I buy the edp on eBay occasionally.

I've not been able to find it for a while, there's a couple of bottles on eBay for £60-90!

MamaDollyorJesus · 07/03/2023 07:18

@Pinkywoo & @HorribleHisTories15 Original Pink is still available at boots - it's the Mist You Madly fragrance that's been discontinued.

HorribleHisTories15 · 07/03/2023 07:23

Praise be! @MamaDollyorJesus

JofraArchersFastestBall · 07/03/2023 07:26

I think m&s is excellent for affordable perfumes. The apothecary ones are my favourite, Warmth is glorious but appears to be permanently sold out because it's a dupe of Le Labo santal 33. Breathe is good too though, fresh and herbal.

Gingernaut · 07/03/2023 07:28

Weirdly, Vanderbilt.

Old lady-ish, with a peppery trace.

I didn't know you could still get Vanderbilt!

PrincessHoneysuckle · 07/03/2023 07:55

Next Pear Blossom.I love pear smells.

lemmein · 07/03/2023 08:02

Euphoria is my absolute fave - even amongst expensive perfumes I rate that one the highest.

My other cheapies are Britney's 'Curious' and Christina Aguileras perfume (the one in the lacey type bottle) - oh and the majority of Next fragrances.

Sparkletastic · 07/03/2023 08:07

Cabotine by Grès is a fantastic green floral with incredible projection and longevity. Great in the summer and costs about a tenner.
For winter or nighttime I really rate Magnificently Dubai from Zara. It's a spicy nutmeg leather smell. Smells expensive but you can get it for approx £15.
