Fragrances are quite personal, and finding one you like can take some time. The process of purchasing a perfume might be time-consuming. And, unfortunately, many of the nicer perfumes have a heavy price tag, especially if they come in a designer-label bottle.
But there's good news if you're on a budget, simply want to be more frugal with your money, or want to buy a different fragrance for each day of the week: there are really quite a few smells that don't cost an arm and a leg out there. As a result, we've compiled a list of our favorite low-cost perfumes, so you can smell beautiful without breaking the bank.
Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue
Take a trip to the coasts of Sicily to inhale the scents of Dolce & Gabbana's Light Blue. It tickles your senses with fruity top fragrance notes of Sicilian lemon and apple and settles down softly with middle and base notes of bamboo, jasmine, cedar, and amber, leaving you dreaming of ocean breeze on the seashore. This budget-friendly perfume is your secret weapon for getting into holiday mode, and it's one of the best inexpensive perfumes on the market!
Calvin Klein Euphoria
Calvin Klein's Euphoria announces its arrival with a strong dosage of floral and woody undertones. It's an evocative and welcome bouquet of refined fruits and flowers, daring you to approach closer. Allow the scents of pomegranate, orchid, lotus, and patchouli to rest on your skin. It's a powerful scent that leaves a lingering question mark in its wake. Wear this low-cost designer perfume whenever you need a boost of confidence.
Clinique Happy
Clinique's Happy is your tanned and golden second skin for the summer. It's like getting good news or running into an old friend on the street, and it's a refreshing, light, and zesty cheap smell. Happy provides exactly that: an energizing boost to your day with a bright and vibrant edge. Happy, if it were a color, would be a soft-yellow variation that is approaching summer, with apple, red ruby grapefruit, bergamot, and tropical notes adding a light rainbow to the mix.
Versace Eros
Eros by Versace is a majestic journey through time that lands in Ancient Greece and has a blend of traditional, gold-infused accents. It's an appealing yet lighter version of Versace's consistent DNA, and it's the fragrance equivalent of the God of Love. You may wear jewels or Eros: both are fashionable additions, but the latter is more likely to keep people's attention for longer. When you inhale Eros' Sicilian lemon and Calabrian bergamot accords, it doesn't matter what you're wearing. Close your eyes and imagine yourself in a flowing Grecian gown, the summer heat behind you.
Vera Wang Princess
Vera Wang's Princess is a lighthearted, joyful collection. It has a unique aroma that is reminiscent of youth and can be detected with only one spritz. With its strong vanilla perfume and dabs of apples, apricots, and mandarin oranges around the borders, this is a fragrance that guarantees to grab hold of your fun-loving soul no matter your age. Its iconic heart-shaped bottle embodies femininity, inviting you to immerse yourself in its fluffy sweetness and chocolatey undertones.
