@@chandracox6814 I think affordable is a very subjective term. For a lot of people, spending $100 on a fragrance might not fit with their budget. For some others, they may have it in their budget but view spending it on something like perfume as frivolous. Affordability isn't always about the dollar amount, sometimes its about how much they value the item.
I SUPER appreciate these affordable videos. I absolutely love perfume. However, I'm a single mom on SSI and so as much as I want to, I will never buy a perfume over $40. I search and search for the best deals. I go to all the discount website and search for the best codes. I go to mercari... I am hunting for the best deal. And I can't afford to buy a bunch of perfumes I might not like. So, these videos make me feel very grateful 💗
Some of my favorite fragrances were blind buys from Marshalls for $10 or less. Never underestimate inexpensive fragrances, you never know what you may find.
New subscriber:)) I love how you describe fragrances and how you don't spend 10 mins talking about every scent. Just quick and to the point. My type of frag reviewer!!
I saw loulou in the thumbnail and I had to see the video. That was my first fragrance love a few year ago when I was in highschool used to wear it anytime I was out or even at school sometimes
Thank you! I have Stash. It's amazing! And Cacharel Loulou. I had Just Cavalli but gavevit to my sister because it gave me a headache. She was able to wear it and I was so happy. I'd love to find the Franc Olivier. Haven't seen that one before. Have a great day😊
I really liked this video, affordable and uhmm what a choice! But I would add to your list all the amazing Parfums of Elisabeth Arden.. Goodness those deserve a review on their own cause most of them are really affordable and the fragrances are so well done and.. Hooking with a really decent and unique type of smells to me.. I am talking about all the NYC line (omg try it!! You can. Find on line as well at the airport between the cheapest, pls do not disdain to go sniff there thinking aren't worth cause you would really miss a bargain!! And try the fritz-spice in the Green Tea of Elizabeth Arden.. Yes it's tea but/and with that twist to make it unique.. Fantastic brave video, you hit a new follower here! May I ask for a video on cozy comforting relaxing scents.. Some good for winter and other good for summer? The only thoughts I can associate to this are.. A cozy soothing hug and a freeing beach breeze... It is possible to find a group of fragrances under these lines? This is my challenge, to feel rather than just smell good! Thank you if you could!! BLESS you, ciao!
Thanks so much for watching and the lovely comment! I love Elizabeth Ardin fragrances too! I have the Green Tea and it's soooo nice in the summer heat. I would absolutely do a cozy/comfortable scents video. Watch for it very soon! 😍
@@thecuriousperfumer this one is a hidden gem for sure. And it lasts forever on me. I really don't hold perfumes on me for long, but this one stays. I want a back up bottle lol
Ooo, the Just Cavalli is SOO good!!! It's such a beautiful tiare flower scent. I love it so much! I want to try Stash next. Thanks for so many great recommendations!
Oh my. Why have I not subscribed sooner. I have watched your videos but missed hitting that button. I’m now part of the club just as everyone else should be! Great video. Amazing content!!
I’ve heard someone else say they bought it and loved it. I will see what the notes look like and order it if it sounds like something I’d wear. I love a bargain!
Me too and I love how long the Bijan lasts....do you currently own Bijan? Trying to find someone who has the original formulation and how it compares to the one now. To me, the one now is very very close to the original (shockingly).
@@thecuriousperfumer no I dont I want to it though.ive recently got shaghaf oud and it was a blind buy/ youtube suggestion and I must say I am not disappointed at all.
Great video. Thank you for sharing...Nowadays, I have to totally save my coins. So, finding gems like this is great. I have a few...Again, Thank you for sharing ❤❤
Heather H. You’re welcome! A few I picked up at local stores so the links may have a slightly higher price than I paid but still....hopefully it will lead you in the right direction. The Sarah Jessica Parker ~ Stash I got in a store for really cheap but had problems finding it online.
Gold Sugar is wonderful and smells so much more expensive than it is.. I also really like Katy Perry Indi for an understated type scent. Calvin Klein Reveal is one of my favorites as well. It doesn't get the hype it deserves.
Basically, what you are allowing here to do is a"Bar au Parfums".. What's that? That vintage and still so alluring idea of a trail containing a mix of different scents we can choose among following our mood or even better the occasion.. Look at your video.. You are telling us that with the price of 1 good middle priced parfum.. We can have a trail of good 5!!Wow amazing!! And you are offering such a wide choice to really make it possible, so thank you!! Cause look at that Bar au Parfums now.. All those cute bottles, each one of them with diffent colors and shapes shining there for us, calling us to them after the shower, in the morning, before to go to bed.. Ohh goodness this is a shoot of wellbeing cause...how uplifting is this!, and in such odd time of our life!... So thank you again for this great great missing video! Big hug!
Loved your review on inexpensive fragrances! Some of these have gone up in price not too much though! Why spend a fortune to smell good if don’t have to! Just subscribed! Catch up with you later darling have to go edit another video Pink Champagne Kisses 💋💋💋💋🍾🥂
I actually think they do smell a lot alike. The Moschino one has a tiny bit more citrus on opening but they smell very similar on dry down….enough so that I don’t need both.
Prerogative has been compared to YSL Black Opium BUT....I think Prerogative is better. It's sweeter, more dessert like. The dry down is AH-mazinggggggggg!
I havent tried or come across AP Fatale Intense. I had AP Fatale original and loved. Guess it will be AP fatale Intense for the blind buy as u said it is definetly unisex and im a guy so i can get away with it lol. Fragrantica compared it to Queen Latifah Queen but now the similarity chart completely eliminated Queen. I wonder do some great perfumes 'discontinue' only to be brought back under different brands? #TOPIC
I have just discovered your channel and I’m several videos in, was wondering about the cabotine fragrance and flankers, they’re so affordable and seem to have good ratings but I’ve never seen any videos of folks who have reviewed them, have you or anyone else that you know of?
Hello! and thanks for joining in! I have a video coming out tomorrow (it's part 2 of my 20 fragrances for $20) and I have Cabotine in it!! It will be around the 4:22 mark on the video so be looking for it! As far as an in depth, dedicated video, I have not done one exclusively on this house or this fragrance but sounds like a good idea. Would you be interested in me doing a Cabotine review with some of the flankers?
The Curious Perfumer I absolutely would! The value of each is so good, the reviews are solid and I absolutely love the bottles, I am kind of attention deficit, and I love when the size and style of the flankers bottle is the same as the original 😂. I am rebuilding my collection as I shifted to makeup for a while, so I’m looking for budget but quality. Except for I am very intrigued about the “milk teeth” scent in your perfume oddities video. BTW I bought me bubble, so Demeter def needs to sponsor you.
I think the TJMaxx in the US is called TJX in Canada. The fragrances here in the US are authentic...they are just usually overstock type of items so I would assume they are authentic there too?
Awesome video thank you! So many people do "affordable" videos for fragrances under $100, which is not actually that affordable.
Aubree Richelle Lol very true!!
Agreeeeed
omg right i click off right away when they pull that shit 🤣🤣
That is affordable, actually.

My favorite cheap perfume is jovian white musk

I LOVE Lou Lou!! Perfect powdery fragrance!! Love it!!
It was my senior prom fragrance! 😍

I love these videos! I have found so many hidden gems that are so inexpensive.
Oh yes! Me too! I’m going to be doing another one really soon. I found more gems that I can’t wait to share!
what are your top 3?
Thank you! I have Stash. It's amazing! And Cacharel Loulou. I had Just Cavalli but gavevit to my sister because it gave me a headache. She was able to wear it and I was so happy. I'd love to find the Franc Olivier. Haven't seen that one before. Have a great day😊
Wow , what really great bargains for relatively little money . Very interesting video !
Thanks for watching!
Great list. I also love Cabotine Eau de parfum by Gres.
Nice finds!! I can never find good deals at my Marshall's and TJ Maxx! 🥺
Well that stinks. Maybe they will step it up a notch!!
With TJMaxx you will need to do a walkthrough once or twice a week.
My stores suck too and I live in the suburbs south of Seattle, hardly have anything!
@@just-another-face-in-the-crowd You feel my pain!! 😭
Have you tried Ross or Burlington?
What a fun collection of affordable fragrances! :) I have to admit that the only one from this list that I've tried is Sofia, and I did like it :)

When you said it’s June here I checked my calendar to be sure we are in the same year 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣 that made me laugh
😂
She plays with fire sounds amazing!
It very much is! Lots of love for this one! ♥️
Caline Sweet Appeal is by Grès (Cabotine, Cabochard...) 😉Thanks for your great tips!
Love this video! Heaps of goodies that I need to add to my collection! 😍🙌🏻
Looking forward to a review of Indi Visible if you decide to get it! Thank you for the great video 👍🏼
ndo355 The bottle is on its way! 🤩
I got a bottle of Ivanka Trump for less than $25 on Amazon for 3.4 oz...it's good! I was surprised!
I’ve heard someone else say they bought it and loved it. I will see what the notes look like and order it if it sounds like something I’d wear. I love a bargain!
I love the bijan bottle and I love orange fragrances.

I looooove that salty vibe that Reveal has. I have a few new celebrity scents that I’m going to make a new video on next week!

Big hugs to you! Thanks for watching and for your sweet comment!! ❤️
Just Cavalli lasts so long on my skin! & With just one spray!
I want Casmir Chopard. I'm going to track that one down... Thanks for the all the cheapie ideas. :)
Let me know if you get it and how you like it!! ❤️
This was awesome! I love a bargain almost as much as I love a beautiful fragrance 💙💜💚 (Can you believe they still make Prell? lol😊) Great video! 🥰 ☀️
I loved me some Prell and the "Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific"! hahaha remember that one!
The Curious Perfumer lol, sure do! 😊
This was a great video idea! I might have to look for the Gold Pink Sugar.
Its very nice but it's getting harder and harder to find unfortunately!
lovely there are enough expensive perfums and i love perfumes
I’ll be doing another updated video soon!
Hi, nice picks. Do you know if there's a fragrance that exists that smells like Wella Balsam Shampoo? That was the best smell ever!!
I don’t know of one but I sure wish I did!! That stuff was awesome!
Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤
I love Bijan, hard to get because it's always sold out
LaTonda Arnold Check out FragranceX.com....they have it right now for $20 usd 👍

I have the Paris Hilton for Her and oddly on me it lasts about 30 min so now it's a bedding spray. Nice preppy scent though
Great video!! 💗
Thanks for watching ! 😻
Glad I found your Chanel!
Thanks for stopping by! ❤️
Roberto😉 the sofia vergara on me smell nothing like mademoiselle...its 1000% dupe for calvin klein euphoria😊
Sofia Vergara last longer then Coco Mad on me.... FYI
Do you think I love love smells like light blue ? I've always heard that so I never wanted to try it..
I actually think they do smell a lot alike. The Moschino one has a tiny bit more citrus on opening but they smell very similar on dry down….enough so that I don’t need both.
Yes cheapies!! Ok so I've been loving Britney Spears... I need prerogative??
If she compared to a niche one type of scent ohh yesss girl, we need it!! Lololol
@@stefaniamirri1112 agreed! let's compare notes when you get it.
Prerogative has been compared to YSL Black Opium BUT....I think Prerogative is better. It's sweeter, more dessert like. The dry down is AH-mazinggggggggg!

I wish I could find Stash for that price! Online it’s full retail and I never see it in stores 😭
Mariah Oh noooo. Do you have a Marshall’s nearby? Or a Ross? I’ve seen it in Ross lately for very cheap.
I’ll definitely pop in and check it out! I haven’t been in since they reopened. Thanks 😊
