We all have our favourite perfume that we come back to time and again, but chances are your eyes probably water at the price every time you invest in a new bottle.
While premium brands can sometimes start at a minimum of three figures, many retailers stock their own-brand perfume ranges for budget prices. However, so many of these lack on the quality of ingredients and the staying power you get from a high-end blend.
