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've got a few from M&S and always get complimented 100ml perfume is about £10 and scent lasts all day. Faves are Spiced Bergamot, pink pepper, red berries and rose and fresh mandarin

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

Not according to their website? They do the body mist but not the perfume.

Blackberry and Bay - Aldi

Jellywobblescobbles · 05/07/2023 19:50

Had Aldis versions of Jo Malone Blackberry & Bay and La Vie edt belle - both gorgeous they were £5.99. In Summer I buy small spray bottles of Elizabeth Arden Green Tea £2.99 Bodycare.

Soft Iris from M and S

Moonshine5 · 05/07/2023 20:02

Lidl Lovely is a dupe of Coco Mademoiselle

MissGroves · 05/07/2023 20:04

Elizabeth Arden Sunflowers - it has been my favourite scent since I was 18 (I'm 44 now) - it really is cheap (first bottle was a gift for my birthday and then used to get it from the perfume counter in boots and now from home bargains!! 🙈😂) but it doesn't change on my skin like many and the smell just makes me feel happy.

faustina · 05/07/2023 20:07

The Jo Malone ones for Zara are really nice - the one I like best for summer is the vetiver pamplemousse - I just bought another bottle in their sale

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

It was my wedding perfume too, I found a bottle of perfume and moisturiser online, and it's stored away in the dark and only cracked out on very special occasions 😂

@TaRaDeBumDeAy @Happyhappyeveryday you can get Exclamation here:

www.notino.co.uk/coty/exclamation-eau-de-cologne-for-women/p-16066643/

Takes me back to the late eighties/early nineties too.

Like others, I rate a few of the Zara perfumes. My favourite is probably Jo’s Rhubarb.

Thank you!

BlastedPimples · 06/07/2023 07:42

Dynamisante by Clarins. I love it.

I love this but it lasts less than 5 minutes on me.

faustina · 06/07/2023 12:45

@userxx - it doesn't last long on me either, but it's so lovely for a quick spritz in the summer - I also use it on my bedlinen

porridgeisbae · 16/09/2023 15:59

Just getting into perfumes again. At the mo, as a PP said, it's Fantasy by Britney. Grin This had a great offer in Boots the other week.

It mixes really well with Chanel No.5 for a day perfume.

ferretface · 16/09/2023 16:05

All of the Ariana Grande Perfumes (particularly Cloud and Ari by Ariana Grande)

& Other Stories perles de Coco perfume oil. It's a dupe or close cousin to Sol de Janeiro cheirosa (also a relatively cheap scent) which in turn is a dupe or close cousin to Laura Mercier ambre Vanille.

Emilyjayne942 · 16/09/2023 18:40

Dupes from the essence vault - 12, 82 and 444 are my faves.

Sorry to say it but I agree. I bought it as everyone on mumsnet rates it. I hated it. Gave it away.

Agree it’s awful.
