I Always Get Compliments on M&S Perfumes—These 9 Could Easily Pass for Designer
These scents are proof that you don't need to spend big to smell expensive.

Here atBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing UK, we absolutely love trying out new perfumes. In fact, we'd go as far as to say that it's one of our favourite hobbies. As beauty editors, we get to try anything and everything (so you won't have to), always on the lookout for trending or unexpectedly good scents. Recently, Marks and Spencer perfumes seem to be on everybody's lips (and wrists), so let's see what all the fuss is about.
If you didn't know, not only does M&S have some of the chicest and most high-quality high-street clothes available, but this quintessentially British hub also has quite an impressive beauty offering. It stocks lots of cult brands we love, such as Estée Lauder and Clinique, as well as its own in-house ranges that have become increasingly popular.
And the retailer's own-brand perfumes are easily some of the best around. What's more? They are some seriously affordable scents. Prices range from around £10-£15, and the packaging is minimal and chic—just what you'd expect from more expensive, designer perfumes.
With an amazing selection on offer, we wanted to make sure we were letting you know exactly which M&S perfumes are worth your time. We've now been testing out some of the best-selling scents for months, and can't even begin to tell you how many compliments we've gotten.

1. Soft Iris
Key Notes: Iris, bergamot, patchouli
As soon as I smelled this, I felt like I had walked straight into a Chanel store. It really reminded me of some of the luxury brands' high-end fragrances, so I couldn't believe it was just £10. The floral blend is perfect for everyday wear, with base notes of vetiver and amber giving this perfume a sophisticated finish.
2. White Coconut
Key Notes: Coconut, vanilla, sea moss, citrus, amber
If, like me, you're dreaming of summer, trust me when I say that a spritz of this perfume will transport you to a tropical island far, far away. It has such a delicious, creamy and refreshing scent, thanks to notes of coconut, vanilla and citrus, while amber adds a warm, expensive-smelling edge.
3. Apothecary Warmth
Key Notes: Cardamom, cinnamon, cedarwood, sandalwood
As soon as I got this fragrance, it reminded me of a perfume I loved from Aesop years ago, and not just because of the bottle. The scent itself smells so expensive, and has been designed to bring a sense of comfort to your day. It's quite literally the perfect autumn perfume, and really does feel like a warm hug.
4. Velvet Amber
5. Pink Pepper
Key Notes: Pink pepper, jasmine, vanilla
Another intoxicating option from the brand is Pink Pepper. Sweet hints of vanilla and amber combine with floral orange blossom and sensual jasmine for a scent that will have you (and those around you) hooked.
6. Seasalt Neroli
Key Notes: Sea salt, neroli, mandarin, musk
Part of the Discover Intense range, this affordable fragrance really reminds me of a similar scent from Jo Malone London. Hints of sea salt make spraying this perfume feel like a breath of fresh air, whilst notes of musk give it an unexpected depth.
7. Midnight Blossom
Key Notes: White flower, mandarin, tuberose
According to the internet, this perfume is a great alternative to YSL's Black Opium, which is one of my all-time favourite scents. Of course, the M&S version is much more affordable, and you could even layer both fragrances together to make the scent last all day long.
8. Spiced Wood
Key notes: Apple, clove, sandalwood
Prepare for fireplace season with this warm, spiced, only slightly sweet woody fragrance. If you like light and floral, it won't be the right one for you, but for all the musk lovers out there, you might have stumbled upon your next signature scent.
9. Warm Neroli
Key notes: Neroli, bergamot, musk
Now this is a bright and uplifting scent profile that manages to feel both fresh and elegant. The fragrance opens with radiant, sunny citrusy top notes, but as it dries down, a warm, earthy musk base creeps in with comforting depth and softness. Looking for something light but still polished? This might just be the one.
