A light, reasonably priced daytime perfume?

Not looking to break the bank as its juts for day to day.

Just something pretty and light.

Any recommendations?

Di Palomo orange blossom. You can sometimes pick it up in TK Maxx

Next perfumes are really nice and cheap. About £10‐£15 a bottle.

Also the Joe Malone for Zara ones

Zara does a range of perfumes with Jo Malone. I love the vetiver pamplemousse one: it’s so fresh and citrusy, if that’s your thing. I saw it on sale in my Zara the other day although can’t see it on their website. My daughter likes the ‘waterlily tea dress’ one which is very floral.

I like Rituals hair and body mists for light daytime scents.

I love floral street
The 10ml sprays are quite reasonable

Arizona bloom or London poppy are nice

I wear some really expensive perfume sometimes but the one I got most compliments on was the €15 Mexx one :)

Lidl's dupe of D&G Light Blue (Cotton Blue) is just like the original and lasts longer on me than the real thing. It's a nice light citrus scent.

5th Avenue is very wearable

TheFutureIs · 07/07/2023 19:35

The Karl Lagerfeld perfumes are lovely.
It's the fleur de...... range. I have the orchid and blackcurrant ones and always get compliments when I wear them

Green Tea is great! The nose for it was Francis Kurkdijan who created Baccarat Rouge

MrsSamR · 07/07/2023 20:45

L'Occitane Jamsmine & bergamot is my signature scent and it is DIVINE

Love Next perfumes for every day and also love those body mists for the summer. They smell divine 😍

SoWhatEh · 07/07/2023 20:53

I use Zara applejuice as body spray and then layer it with Zara Lightly Bloom which is a fresh floral.

TheGirlOnTheLanding · 07/07/2023 21:01

I'm another fan of D&G Light Blue but at the moment I'm enjoying a cheapy M&S perfume, Fresh Bergamot. It doesn't last all that long but it's very clean and refreshing and the small bottle is handbag sized so you can top it up.

Perfume Parlour dupe of Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey is really good. Fresh and long lasting

louderthan · 07/07/2023 22:07

Clinique Happy. You can pick it up cheap on Perfume Direct etc
