Expensive taste is catching up with me. There'll be no Allure this Xmas- what might I like that's similar but less spendy ?

Nothing.
I have similarly expensive tastes and will be rocking the scent of my broke tears this Christmas. At least that's preferable tosome shit Michael kors perfumeGrin

Allure is my favourite and nothing really comes close. But I also like -
Britney Spears midnight fantasy
Jimmy Choo flash - you can often get it for 50% off - I get lots of compliments on this
So - wicked (literally about £3 in b and m)!
Katy Perry - killer Queen (cheap on Amazon)
Sarah J Parker - lovely - again cheap on Amazon

I used to work on a perfume counter and then worked for Chanel. I really miss the discounts!

I wish I knew the answer OP! It’s my absolute favourite too!

Oh Allure, adore it!

It was my first perfume love ❤️

I've been wearing Ralph Lauren "Woman" the last few years, but it's getting expensive now too.

I love Chanel Allure too. It’s my ‘going out’ perfume. Nothing comes close really.

I've switched from Allure to Eau d'Issy. Not sure it's any cheaper though.

Try Fragrantica - search for Allure, read comments and check You might also like section…

Marc Jacob's Daisy
Miss Dior

Neither much cheaper though I'm afraid!

Thanks all. I might have to save and save and save. But meanwhile head off somewhere to have a sniff of all these fabulous suggestions and see if I can be lured away ...

I wear Allure and have never found a dupe for it so it has to be the real thing, I have asked for it for Xmas. I have also worn and liked Mon Guerlain, and Jean Paul Gaultier La Femme, which might be slightly cheaper and are a similar fragrance. I have also liked lssey Miyake L’eau D’issey, Miss Dior and J’adore.
YSL black opium is a similar one and there is a dupe for this in either B and M or Home Bargains that comes in a perfume and a body spray (purple bottle).

The dupes in Superdrug are good value . 12 for one or 2nd one half price. I got the Tom ford blush Santal one which is fab

I wear Allure and it is expensive, my perfume for everyday is Estee Lauder Sensuous not exactly the same but lovely, I bet you'll love it.
