Best discount designer perfumes

Top pick: Lattafa Angham Eau de Parfum — a rich, sweet-spicy unisex scent that punches far above its price, and the one I'd hand to almost anyone starting a collection. It's the best value here by a wide margin.

Who the others suit:

• Lattafa Khamrah — if you like warm, boozy date-and-cinnamon gourmands; hugely popular for good reason.
• Lattafa Eclaire — a creamy vanilla-caramel crowd-pleaser, great for everyday wear.
• Versace Bright Crystal — light, fresh and floral; ideal for summer or a first "real" designer bottle.
• Viktor&Rolf Flowerbomb — the classic big floral for evenings and gifting.
• CHANEL Coco Mademoiselle — the polished, timeless choice if you want a recognizable signature.
• Billie Eilish Eau de Parfum — soft vanilla-amber, a safe blind buy for younger noses.
• Miu Miu Miutine — a small bottle to try a designer scent cheaply.

One honest note: I found no verified markdowns on these right now, so treat the low prices as good current pricing rather than a sale.
