Good-smelling cheapies are hard to find

...I am stunned that no one has mentioned the house of Balmain yet. Their line of fragrances are always of quality, and always affordable. My favorites:"Jolie Madame""Balmain de Balmain"And my favorite vintage:"Vent Vert" -- the original one by Germaine Cellier. I have not tried the reformulations (1991 Calice Becker, 1999 Nathalie Feisthauer), so I cannot speak to those.

Vintage - Yes or No ?
by SystemeD | Perfumes & Brands
...I am no expert on vintages, but my vintage Vent Vert is gorgeous, and the galbanum up top is still going strong. My bottles of Shiseido Zen and Guerlain Samsara are just as beautiful as when I bought them -- in th 80s.

...This is not the only house based in and inspired by Brittany, but it is the only one that uses Breton names for some of its fragrances.Recently, however, this house has ventured beyond Brittany for inspiration; one fragrance in particular invokes (and perhaps evokes) both India and Morocco.

...Triffid, I confess to being stymied. Sadly, despite being American, I know absolutely nothing about American football. I spotted a man's name on the list of fragrance houses, and for a moment, I thought "Andy Roddick" might be a good guess, especially if pronounced with a British accent --- but then I Googled and discovered that he's a tennis player.

Keiko Mecheri ~ recommendations
by SystemeD | Perfumes & Brands
...Like anything, much depends on your own personal taste.My own favorite KM is "Umè" which is a fruity, plummy chypre. I wear it regularly in autumn and early winter.I also own and love "Scarlett", and wear it often in summer, but I may be in the minority on that one.I can also recommend "Mogador", a lovely blend of rose notes, "Genie des Bois", a woody violet, and "Cuir Cordoba", an iris/suede/benzoin fragrance that closely resembles Serge Lutens' Daim Blond.I have owned bottles of all three of these last at some point, and I need to restock all three, but most especially "Cuir Cordoba"!Oh, I just remembered. If you are a fan of sweet gourmands, try "Loukhoum". I am not a fan, but there are some who go crazy for this almond/rose/honey scent.

...I am a huge fan of "Billet Doux"! That's my favorite, hands down.I picked up a bottle of "Confidential - Cette Nuit Là" for a song a few years ago, and it's a nice amber fragrance.

...Nope. So far, "Ghost Fire" was closest, because of Triffid's association. Let me try another image:
