Think you need to spend a fortune on perfume? Think again. Marks Spencer has a collection of incredible fragrances that smell just like your favourite luxury scents. Let’s be honest: designer perfumes are expensive. Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Jo Malone…most of our favourite perfume brands set you back around £100 for a bottle and often more – but should we really need to spend that much for a great fragrance?

While its hard not to associate designer brands and hefty prices with quality, this doesn’t always have to be the case, especially when it comes to fragrances. In fact, the perfumers behind most of our favourite designer brands are often the same people who work on the high street’s offering. A good case in point is Zara and Jo Malone collaborating on a perfume line, as well as H&M working with Olivier Pescheux, who also previously worked with Diptyque and Yves Saint Laurent.

Zara is widely known as having some of the best perfume dupes on the market, but M&S gives it a run for its money. All M&S’ perfumes are cruelty free and suitable for vegans, which is an added bonus for some and a down right necessity for others.
