Best budget-friendly niche perfumes to explore

Purple Star emoji 13 items
I have been both priveledged with enough of a budget to buy more expensive perfumes; and I've also been unempoyed, and have needed to scale back my budget while still creating social media content, and being able to keep enjoying my hobby.  Below are some inexpensive brands, as well as places where you can find some of the best prices on branded bottles, and decants / samples. You don't always need the biggest bottles. A milliliter of fragrance is about 9=12 sprays, so a 10 ml decant can last you a long time.

Affordable Fragrances

9

These are places where you can purchase high-quality fragrances at prices that aren't as high as the niche and designer perfume houses. Some are indie brands, some are no-nonsense good smelling houses without all the pomp of luxury brands.

EDTs are from $40 to $80. The EDPs are a little pricier. There are also body care products, which are more affordable.

Decanters and Samples to try for less

4

This is a list of the places where I obtain samples and decants of more expensive fragrances to test them fully before I even consider saving up for them.  There are also some “inspired by” places in here.  I am picky about them and really lean towards the small single purveyors who really focus on their quality.
