Your fragrance is likely one of the most expensive products in your daily beauty kit. And, while we’re all for a beautiful signature scent, investing in a new bottle can sometimes be eye-watering – especially when many designer perfumes can cost upwards of three figures.

However, there's always the risk that budget scents will fail to deliver when it comes to staying power.

So what’s the solution? As it turns out, it looks like you can have the best of both worlds. In fact, we’ve discovered a perfect everyday perfume that costs less than £15 at Marks & Spencer.

What to read next

From the chic glass bottle to the fresh-yet-feminine scent, you’d be forgiven for mistaking this bargain bottle for a much pricier perfume.

"This is a gorgeous fragrance. Very long-lasting, and very sophisticated," said one reviewer, while another is totally in love: "I bought this today after being attracted by the packaging and am now addicted to the beautiful fragrance! It really lasts unlike similar priced perfumes and certainly smells expensive. I'm going to buy another before it runs out as I've a feeling I won't want to be without it!"

If you like fresh, summery scents with hint of fruit, you’re bound to be enamoured. It's light enough to be a guaranteed crow-pleaser, yet lasts several hours. In fact, it’s one of the freshest, most summer-appropriate things we’ve smelt all year. We're placing one on our dressers immediately.
