TRIED & TESTED

£24, superdrug.com THE fashion brand’s latest fragrance is an opulent blend of rhubarb, almond, jasmine and liquorice. And you’d best stock up if you like it, as it’s a limited edition. Lynne says: “I love a gourmand fragrance, especially at this time of the year when I yearn for a scent that’s as cosy as my jumpers. Perhaps it’s the subtle hint of liquorice, but this perfume manages to be mouthwater­ing rather than sickly. The goldtopped ombré bottle adds dressing-table appeal, too.”

ONE of three scents from fragrance house 4711’s Floral Collection, this sees neroli, bergamot and tonka bean complement jasmine notes. Laura says: “Nose-ticklingly heady, this is one for those who love a strong floral fragrance. Something so flowery wouldn’t normally be my first choice, but I was impressed with its intensity and staying power for the price.”

£15, boots.com THIS is part of Boots’ own-brand fragrance edit, which consists of five ranges – La Librairie, Pure & Co, Momento and #Mood, plus Compositio­n for men.

Laura says: “I love perfumes with fig in them and this didn’t disappoint. It is more powdery than I was expecting, and a little bit earthy, but quite irresistib­le.”

THIS new line of six fragrances promises affordable scents for all tastes, whether you like clean citrus notes, fresh florals or spicy aromas. Each 100ml bottle will set you back £9.50 – or for the same price you can get a discovery set of three 30ml bottles.

Lynne says: “The bottles look classier than the price tag might suggest, and all the scents are light and easy to wear.”
