This year we want to give even more affordable fragrance options on the podcast. Balancing our coverage of all price options has been vital to us since we started On the Scent and given the soaring costs of EVERYTHING (including fragrance prices), it’s more important than ever. Of course, we will still cover the luxury, niche and designer launches and more spendy scents we love, but if they are way out of your pocket right now – or you’re simply looking for some perfumed treats that won’t break the bank – we wanted to do a little mini pod edit of some favourites to recommend.

In Part One for this week, we will be looking at some brilliant but more inexpensive contemporary scents we’ve been enjoying wearing recently, and next week for Part Two, at some fantastic older ones that can be snapped up for under £40, and which you simply MUST try for yourselves. We so hope you enjoy listening, and meanwhile we wonder… which affordable fragrances would YOU recommend other people try?
