I'm a Huge Fan of M&S Perfumes—These 10 Could Easily Pass for Designer

Apothecary Warmth is possibly one of the most well-known M&S perfumes. Everyone compares this fragrance to Le Labo Santal 33, and not just because of the chic bottle. The perfume itself contains notes of cardamom, cinnamon, cedarwood and sandalwood, designed to bring about feelings of comfort. Le Labo's iconic scent is also super comforting thanks to cardamom, iris, violet and sandalwood, and both would make beautiful additions to your collection.

We all love a little bit of Chanel, and whenever I spray M&S Soft Iris, I'm always reminded of Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle. Both fragrances contain notes of jasmine, orange blossom, vetiver and patchouli, making these fresh, floral scents perfect for spring.

Jo Malone London's Wood Sage Sea Salt fragrance is one of my absolute favourites, so I was delighted to find an affordable alternative from M&S. It has all the saltiness and freshness that Jo Malone's perfume has to offer thanks to notes of neroli, mandarin and musky sea salt.

Looking for more of an evening option? You can't go wrong with Midnight Blossom, which reminds me so much of YSL's Black Opium. Think notes of sensual jasmine and amber that linger beautifully on the skin.

Summer may have come to an end, but a bottle of Estée Lauder's Bronze Goddess is a go-to for recreating holiday vibes. If you're looking for an affordable alternative, I recommend Marks and Spencer's White Coconut. This fragrance smells just like a tropical vacation, with creamy coconut, sweet vanilla and refreshing citrus notes.

A great option for all year round is Marks and Spencer's Red Berries Rose perfume. With hints of sweet red berries and warming vanilla, this could definitely be mistaken for Armani's Si fragrance. Luckily for us, it's a fraction of the price.

While the notes aren't like for like in this pairing, I have always loved how bright and sparkly Lancôme's La Vie Est Belle Eau De Parfum is—a sweet floral with vanilla, patchouli and tonka. M&S's Pink Pepper has the same sprightly feel thanks to citrusy orange blossom and sweet vanilla.

Marc Jacobs Daisy is an iconic spring scent that's beloved for its uplifting nature and blend of white florals, creamy vanilla and cosy white woods. Gardenia Vanilla has a similarly youthful spirit—a subtly sweet, floral fragrance that's perfect for everyday wear.

Fragrances don't come more iconic than Chanel No. 5, so whilst many TikTok videos tout Marks and Spencer's Velvet Amber to be a dupe, I have to be straight up and say that you're not going to get the same complexity of scent from a £10 bottle of perfume. However, both have that same rich, heady floral feel and a timeless elegance to them that will undoubtedly appeal.

Rabanne's Lady Million scent is an iconic fragrance—a bold white floral perfume with a musky sweetness that is so alluring. Warm Neroli has that same feminine appeal with bucketloads of neroli, citrus-fresh bergamot and a comforting musk notes that lends the fragrance an almost earthiness once it's dried down.

Pistachio fragrances are trending at the moment and this one is a great affordable option.

So many reviews are praising this perfume for how expensive it smells. This was originally called Sunrise and sold out almost immediately. Due to popular demand, it's now back permanently as White Jasmine.

New from the Apothecary collection is Restful, with notes of black pepper and warming frankincense.

Another new fragrance from the Apothecary collection is Reassure, with hints of tonka bean, orange flower, patchouli and cedar leaf.

The perfect autumn/winter scent, this fragrance leads with expensive-smelling oud and lush roses, but contains base notes of amber and vanilla for added sweetness.

Another ideal option for the warmer months is French Mandarin from the Discover collection. It's fresh, it's zingy and it's bound to earn you compliments.
