Which is your favourite 'cheapy' ?

Mine is Tosca Eau de Parfum, a very soapy (in a good way) vintage smelling perfume. I even prefer it to many of my more expensive perfumes!

What are your favourite cheap perfumes?

My favorite cheapest cheapy is Lomani pour Homme 10 bucks for 100 ml. My favorite expensive cheapy is Quorum Eau de Toilette 20 bucks for 100 ml.

@Ringtale I love "cheapies" so this is hard to narrow down!

I think my favorite is Fresh Vanilla Blossoms . It's a mist, but it out-performs some EDPs - and is such a unique blend of creamy vanilla, uplifting florals, and velvety suede!

Would you say Tosca Eau de Parfum is soapy in a sharper/aldehydic way? Or more like a bar of creamy soap?

Good morning @Gourmandgrl,

About Tosca Eau de Parfum : Actually it is both. Very - and I mean very - aldehydic (but not in a headache inducing way) and at the same time like a lush, creamy bar of soap. Some compare it to Chanel No 5 and some compare it to Shalimar (I think that tells something for that matter maybe ? ) Longevity and sillage are like no other and it is both soothing/comforting/cozy like a hug when used for bedtime as it is uplifting and fresh after a shower to start (and end because it is so longlasting) the day. I really can't believe how such a cheap perfume can be this good! The EDT is lovely as well and so is the showercream. I order online (europe), but some drugstores (like DA) sometimes sell it too. (the EDT and showercream that is, the EDT smells the same as the EDP, but is a little weaker - still good where it concerns longevity and sillage - the EDP I can only find online.

Hi @KathrynA66 ,

Oh yes: Eau de Rochas!!! Love that one too! Though I have the current one which is still lovely !

I'm longing to try their newest : Eau de Rochas L'Essentiel because it's said to be longer lasting (as it is an EDP) but I find only a few reviews on it on the internet.

Eau de Rochas (1970) Eau de Toilette was my mom's signature scent. It's very comforting to me, but I'll look forward to trying their new release.

Rochas Man Eau de Toilette it's cheap and if you don't like it you can keep the bottle, it's fun.

I'll second Eau de Rochas (1970) Eau de Toilette as my favorite cheapy.

My favourite cheapie is also my second favourite of all time: To Be (Woman) and I seem to be the only one realising it's basically a dupe for "Versace pour Femme Dylan Purple | Versace" , but actually lasts longer, lol!

This one is constantly mentioned as a Les Belles de Nina - Nina (2006) dupe, but Police To Be is only like that in the opening.

almost all of my top favorite fragrances are cheapies! I love the cheapies! but

Sunflowers Eau de Toilette "Midnight Fantasy | Britney Spears" and Island Gardenia are probably like, top 3...?

Hi again @KathrynA66 , I tried the new release Eau de rochas l'essentiel today...don't think one should blind buy it, has nothing to do with the originals of both 1970 and 2015 unfortunately

Thank you for the forewarning! The original DNA is what makes it special.

Hi, für mich Choco Musk Eau de Parfum

Soft Eau de Parfum

Fantasia Mermaid from Anna Sui for summer

REM Ariana Grande and Whipped Almond Mix:Bar for comforting skin scents

Ciara (100 Strength Concentrated Cologne)

Adam Levine for Women

C4SHMER4N is fantastic fragrance when you still want to wear perfume but need it to be discrete.

It's not pure cashmeran. They added a bit of bergamot and tonka, which pushes the fragrance towards fabric softner vibe. But it smells very gentle, very soft, and very clean. It's one of those fragrances that you smell, yet no one smells unless they hug you.

It's discontinued now but I like it so much I have two back-up bottles tucked away in the closet!

Definitely Encre Noire Sport

Nautica voyage this og never fails 

I also recently discovered in a pharmacy in Spain, the brand "Alvarez Gomez", cheap and nice colognes and perfumes.  And many are not listed here. I tried to add one to the data base "Bergamota de Calabria".

Several, but one of the favorites is, Vegueros.

Vegueros

Right now, I'm obsessed with the various Banana Republic fragrances that have been cropping up at Burlingtons. I've been wearing Neroli Woods and Linen Vetiver a lot lately.

Tosca looks wonderful, added it to my list to try <3
My personal favorite... So...? Sinful Its sort of juvenile... I'm so biased because of good memories, I stole this from my mother when I was a child all the time, it was my first experience with a sweet perfume, I was amazed that perfume could be so... yummy! I became obsessed! Its not the best but I love it especially for its price. It IS discontinued as a EDP but is available as a body spray that isn't too different but its VERY easy to get your hands on the EDP, got my eye on some ebay listings!
