Perfume can be one of the pricier buys in your beauty bag, but it's certainly not true that you can't find an expensive-smelling and long-lasting blend for under-£75. In fact, our beauty team have 12 they love and wear often - spanning both designer and high-street names.
While many of the best long-lasting perfumes are, we grant you, on the more premium side, there are plenty of affordable options out there that smell just as sophisticated, while boasting surprisingly great sillage. Zara's perfumes and M&S Studio fragrance collection, for instance, are touted for their chic scents at impressive prices. The same goes for several other modern and under-the-radar brands that sit in that mid-range category. Not to mention the fact that many of the more expensive best perfumes for women out there also come in a range of bottle sizes. So, if you're not someone who wears fragrance every day, opting for the cheaper 30ml bottle might serve you well and prove to be fairly cost-effective.
