I ditched my £215 perfume for a £15 body spray that's 'summer in a bottle' and I got hundreds of compliments

Now it's officially summer, many shoppers are looking for a summery fragrance that smells amazing and doesn't break the bank. In the summer months you're likely to find yourself needing to spray yourself more often, so a good body spray can be a good idea.

I'm a firm perfume lover, and I'm difficult to please when it comes to fragrance. So I found myself shocked when a £15 body spray completely blew my preconceptions out of the water, and gets me a compliment nearly every time I leave the house.

I usually wear Baccarat Rouge 540 by Maison Francis Kurkdjian - which retails at £215, or Thameen's Patiala, which also retails at £255. But as you can imagine, with price tags like that, you need to use them sparingly.
