I need a new signature perfume. I used to wear the Vivienne Westwood "Alice" range back in the day but they're sadly discontinued. Also Prada Candy but that doesn't seem to smell the same as it used too. I wear Givenchy Very Irresistible for special occasions but it's too rich/heavy for day time.

Based on that, what else would I like? Unfortunately budget constraints mean it needs to be at the cheaper end of the scale or a dupe.

I used to wear Very Irresistible but moved on as like you I find it too strong now.
You might like You by Glossier
It's peppery and powdery not very feminine but not a mens scent. It smells clean laundry and babypowder with fresh ground peppers.
Otherwise try Zara or Next their perfumes are decent.

Loads of Alice on ebay OP

I get my discontinued perfumes on ebay and buy up whole amounts

I am the kiss of death for any perfume, the minute I fall in love with it, it gets discontinued. See Acqua Di Parma Iris Nobile for starts, along with many others.

I used to love Naughty Alice.

Thanks all. I hadn't thought of looking on eBay.
