Is it Possible to Find a Wearable Cheap Perfume?

Through the years nothing has been slated more in the beauty industry than cheap perfume. Back in the 80's and even early 90's you could purchase cheap perfume such as “Charlie” and some of the Coty ranges for 1 or 2 dollars and sales were booming. The sickly aroma somehow managed to escape our senses and those “heady” days certainly left their mark in our memories for awful fragrances.


Nowadays, however, perfume selections are far more sophisticated and yes, it is possible to obtain a lovely light scent for a low price, especially if you are happy to buy from the Eau De Toilette selections which are obviously less expensive than the more concentrated perfumes - but every bit as wearable.

Arguably, one of the best value perfumes around is “Sunflowers” Eau De Toilette by Elizabeth Arden. This pretty, summertime scent is great for everyday use and comes at a very competitive price at around $15 for a 100 ml bottle. This perfume has a very fresh smell with notes of summer flowers, bergamot and other citrus aromas. This fragrance seems to promote a happy mood and is good for any age although perhaps more suited to girls and women in their late teens/early twenties.

The only downside to Sunflowers is the cheap looking packaging and bottle. Apart from the large sunflower on the side of the box, the design does not do the perfume any favours and it would not be surprising if some people were actually put off by this. However, due to the deserved success of Sunflowers, its reputation continues to outweigh the strangely ill-advised packaging and keeps sales sky high.

Another up and coming range of perfume which is reasonably well priced is some of the perfumes from the Britney Spears ranges. Some of the perfumes are getting rave reviews and they are not just targeted at young women. “Curious“ Women's Eau De Parfum is a lovely scent with main notes of lotus flower, magnolia and Anjou pear . Mid range notes bring out the pink cyclamen and finally sandalwood and vanilla infused musk for the base. This fragrance, which is ideal for women of any age, is a great scent for everyday use.

Cheap perfume is no longer a sickly sweet thin aroma that lingers far longer than desired. These days there is a wide range of beautiful fragrances available at extremely affordable prices.
