Is it just me or do you also feel a sense of pride when someone says this “OMG you smell amazing! What perfume is that?”. If someone asked me which one beauty product I would take with me to a desert island, I’d say perfume. However, most of the good perfumes retail at ridiculously exorbitant prices and it doesn’t always make sense to splurge. Fortunately for you, after a lot of trial and error and endless research later, I’ve found 5 affordable perfumes that’ll make you smell ah-mazing on a budget:
1. The Body Shop, Indian Night Jasmine Fragrance Mist, INR 995/-
If warm fragrances are your thing, then this body mist from The Body Shop is meant for you. It formulated with jasmine flowers, violet leaves and sandalwood. This subtle yet fragrant scent is fairly long-lasting. You only need to spritz some of this delightful yet affordable perfume twice throughout the day, and it’ll have you smelling like a tropical paradise.
2. Elizabeth Arden, Women’s Green Tea Eau De Toilette, INR 1090/-
Clean, light and feminine, this fragrance is very sophisticated. Its base notes are green tea and musk and its top notes are citrusy. This affordable perfume is perfect to wear during the summertime. I’ve used this perfume throughout my late teens and whenever I get a whiff of it, I always reminisce.
3. Forest Essentials, Mysore Sandalwood & Vetiver Body Mist, INR 1195/-
This unique product from Forest Essentials does more than what it says on the bottle. It not only smells divine but it also hydrating when it’s directly applied to the skin. It’s formulated with sandalwood and vetiver and it’s an all-natural delight for your skin as well as your senses!
4. Zara, Nude Bouquet Eau De Parfum, INR 1490/-
This perfume has strong notes of vanilla, peony and cherries. It’s feminine and delicate and perfect to wear on a date night. Since it’s an Eau de parfume, it’s pretty strong and just a few spritzes will last for a longgg time.
5. United Colors Of Benetton United Dreams Love Yourself, INR 1900/-
This vibrant and fruity scent is the mid-day pick me up you need. Its keynotes are bergamot oranges, peaches and pears. This perfume is wonderful for everyday use.
