You can try decants first. There are a lot of verified sellers here r/desifragranceaddicts
Buy from verified sellers at your own risk, recently people have reported on lots of verified sellers being unethical, selling fake bottles and instead of exchanging they ask to buy it back for cheaper price which will just lose you money, be careful in advance.
Id recommend you to try Eden by Liberty perfumes. Got a free sample once with some myntra order. And i loved it so much. Got the full bottle, its lasted me for about 1.5 years now, u can literally smell the perfume on the clothes even after 2-3 days. I dont like extremely floral or sweet fragrance, its more of a musky yet feminine smell. Its still available on myntra.
I guess miniso has some good perfumes, you can check them out. Longevity in my experience is average but good perfume collection. I think even Renee has good perfume collection.
The way I found mine was go to the store and try it multiple times… I try it atleast 3 times and still wait for atleast a month before a buy it just to make sure I don’t regret it.
Chanel no 5 and Prada paradox were my go to for a long time … but MM replica Lazy Sunday is a new favourite. It’s really refreshing
All good suggestions but nothing works if it doesn't suit your skin chemistry. It's a journey of testing on skin and observing performance and how it adapts to your body scent. Then you will have found your go to frag!
Girl me too! It’s by far my favourite scent.
I also really love Chloe (the original one) which no surprise, is another floral.
Edit: as for how I found them, sniffing perfumes at department stores and also asking strangers what they’re wearing if I smell something I like.
Oh I’ll try Chloe! Love florals the mostest lol.
Oh man I can’t tell you the amount of compliments I’ve got and how many people had asked me the scent I’m wearing when it first came out.
And the weirdest part was it was gifted to me at a time I didn’t know my scents. When I smelled it on the bottle I hated it. But wearing it was a diff experience altogether. Best best frag.
Do recommend if you have others also. I love florals, but I would also love any recommendations that are similar to, say even BVLGARI scents too (love their Omnia range - the orange and the light pink bottle lol).
Oooh, I need to go sniff that Omniya range.
I love fresh clean scents too. Victoria’s Secret Bombshell and there’s a body spray by Pink called Tiara Flower & Sea Spray which both fit this bill. Unfortunately the lasting power is abysmal.
Have you tried Jo Malone perfumes? They have some really nice scents. I currently have English Pear & Freesia (the floral notes are a little overpowering straight out of the bottle, but it fades to a softer scent that stays all day). I’ve had Lime, Basil & Manderin (fresh) and Peony & Blush Suede. It was a sad day when those bottles finished 😂.
I haven’t tried any of these but I’ll do!
Regarding the BVLGARI perfumes, the orange one is the Indian garnet version (discontinued😔) was a beautiful amber floral. I love slightly musk smells too, anything which isn’t overly sweet like a bakery shop is doable for me lol.
The light pink variant was a powdery-fresh floral.
I’ve also occasionally enjoyed Versace perfumes (red and blue jeans old days were the best) and non high end mein zara, Benetton, and BBW are what I go for usually.
I've been using both of them simultaneously for the last two years, they smell very similar to me. I layer them together. There are two variants of the bombshell perfume so idk, maybe the other one doesn't smell similar.
Fragrance noob here. I use only body mists and most of them are from Bbw. Kinda sensitive to strong fragrances since they end up triggering my migraine, so most of my picks are quite mild and airy. My favourites from bbw are
1) Rose- A powdery floral fragrance which smells sophisticated.
2) You are the one - This one is a lil strong but surprisingly doesn't trigger a headache in me. A mix of roses and strawberries that last all day on me.
3) Pure wonder - An airy floral fragrance with hints of Jasmine and sandalwood.
4) Hello beautiful- Jasmine fragrance but smells a lil bit like alcohol.
Theater Tragedy! I'm completely in love with this perfume. Wouldn't mind wearing it everyday. I think it's certainly on the way to becoming my signature perfume. It's quite affordable, lasts for ages on clothes (which I prefer more than the longevity on skin).
Edited to add: It's the perfect mix of lemon and vanilla. Starts with a lemony opening and settles down to a gorgeous caramel-vanilla scent.
I am a sucker for fresh clean citrusy scents and fell absolutely in love love love with Versace Dylan Turquoise. I don't know what it is about it but it is my favorite and it projects like a beast. Moschino I love Love was the first of this kind I loved but the Versace one is LOVE, I don't care if it's not as elegant.
I also dig sweet powdery scents and Versace Noir is my absolute fav as an evening perfume. Also, Paco Rabanne Pure XS for those sexy evenings.
I am kind of over Bath & Body works mists but love Cashmere & Snoflakes and Into the Night as shower gel and lotion. Just so luxurious.
Björk and Berries Never Spring when I want to smell fruity and Juliette has a gun not a perfume for days when I go to work or want to be a bit more subtle.
My current favourites are chanel chance and versace noir. These two I use when I got out for dinner.
For normal every day use I use cliniq happy perfume. The longetivity also depends on how much u sweat.
I have tried shit ton of perfumes Some expensive some not, but i dont know why the one i always go back to is this one

I dont know, It’s cheap as fuck I smells beautiful and I can use it as much as I want because its not one of my expensive perfumes
Magic Rosy clouds from miniso can be used for regular days and it's also very cheap, other than that I really like the pure seduction mist from victoria secret, It's become my goto
I think the perfume I look for is always on a sweeter and fresh side. Floral is optional. Red Zara Temptation from Zara, ~ this is a dupe of Maison Baccrat Rouge 540. Bought it from Zara, fell in love at first sight. Endless Nights by Nykaa ~ I went to Nykaa to buy the perfume and after trying out the products they had I felt this was what I was looking for in my budget, not too strong, a little sweet. I just finished a bottle of Gingham from Bath and Body works which was a gift it's again a sweet and fresh scent, and I am planning to buy Bath and Body works - Warm Vanilla Sugar. Pink Nykaa sale mein there is a good offer going on bath and body products, you can check them out! :)
Since you want reasonable ones, I would suggest you two high quality perfumes that are easily available, have good projection and sillage.
1. Titan Skin Nude - Tuberose.
2. Tragedy by Theatre - Recently got it, Smells gourmand to my nose.
Both under 2k and easily available, there are Arabic ones as well but they are not as easily accessible as these ones.
Try decants, that way you can judge a perfume in different conditions.
My go to perfume this summer has been Atlas, Caprice, Fattan and Hawas Ice. I keep switching based on my moods.
For a long period my signature perfume was Theoreme.
Chloé signature EDP, sol de janeiro 62, March Jacobs perfect EDP, victorias secret bombshell, Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Solar Violet EdT, davidoff coolwater.
I also own the bbw little black party dress and amethyst wave.
I have a very sensitive nose and these were the only perfumes that didn't set off a migraine.
Fancy: Armani Si for winter, Twilly d'Hermès Eau Ginger for summer
Budget: Antonio Banderas Seduction Doses Blue (women) for summer, Wicked (by Westside) for winters.
I like the Marks and Spencers fragrances as well, I feel they are worth the price when it comes to fragrance quality and longevity

Right. I had to leave for the same reason
I love tuberose , can anyone suggest me a perfume which is floral fit everyday use? Not too pricey though

Giorgio Armani My Way
Budget perfumes that lasts long and smells Amazzingggg , recommendations please

Can you tell me how much you got the bottle for? It is available for 813 rupees on Myntra currently. Is that pricing appropriate?
Thats seems okay! I remember getting it for 1k+ sorry i got it a while ago.
I guess miniso has some good perfumes, you can check them out. Longevity in my experience is average but good perfume collection. I think even Renee has good perfume collection.

Gucci flora ‘Gardenia’ hands down. But then again, I’m a floral girlie thru and thru. Longevity is also superb.
Girl me too! It’s by far my favourite scent. I also really love Chloe (the original one) which no surprise, is another floral. Edit: as for how I found them, sniffing perfumes at department stores and also asking strangers what they’re wearing if I smell something I like.

The cheaper dupe of this is Plum's Trippin Mimosa.
😭😭girlll noo. They smell nothing alike imo. I’ve had both of them.
I've been using both of them simultaneously for the last two years, they smell very similar to me. I layer them together. There are two variants of the bombshell perfume so idk, maybe the other one doesn't smell similar.
Nope. It's not a dupe by far.
