Thanks so much for this Alice - very timely. The gorgeous expensive brands are beyond me at the moment - we've just had to have a new roof! At least I have my fab display of beautiful empty bottles on a little ledge with vestiges of scent to sniff...
Ooh lots here to try. I love perfume (surprise!) and in truth have more than enough to last my lifetime, but sometimes the hit of that new bottle is needed. And like you I am staggered at the prices now of so many brands. Going to stash this post away for those “gimme a new bottle” moments…
Thank you Alice for continuing to fly the flag for affordable perfume. Your reviews make them a lot more interesting and elevated. Although I know quite a few of those brands I was thrilled to discover new ones in this article. On my last visit to M&S I spotted the Sunrise and Sunset ones but they didn’t have testers- I nearly bought one blind (£6!) but wanted to ask your opinion first. Please report back as they look and sound amazing 🤩
I totally agree with you on not enough content creators talk about affordable perfumes. I like exploring both ends of the scale. I have found some favourites in the budget friendly aisle. For example Avon Today Tomorrow Always collection. I remember wearing Today in my twenties 20 years ago, made me feel confident and elegant. I still own a bottle and it still gives me the same feelings. By the way the perfumer of Today was Olivier Cresp.

Avon is such a great shout! Wish it was a bit easier to access though xxx
