Affordable

Affordable perfumes to me are under $50.00 for a regular size. I know affordability is extremely subjective, so I say this with the intent of transparency!

From Sucreabeille's Frozen Embers (aka Game of Thrones) collection, only released sporadically. This smells like a leather jacket with small note of sweetness. It's really unique, and I always get comments about it.

Notes: Sweet vanilla, smoke from the village you just burnt to the ground, decadent leather.
Sucreabeille - Mother of Dragons, Perfume Oil

A Sucreabeille summer release, but it reminds me of caramelized treats in Winter!

Notes: Hot, crisp pear tart drizzled with caramel. Drowned in heavy cream spiced with cardamom, cinnamon, and a touch of vanilla.
