Pocket Friendly Fragrances - Prettify Vogue By Anjali

Hello Folks,

So I am back with another post on Pocket Friendly Fragrances.

“Perfume is the key to our memories. – Kate Lord Brown”

Scent can be a very personal thing, what makes one person feel like a goddess can make another gag.

There are so many fragrances out there that its so hard to choose one. I love perfumes who doesn’t, I often do window shopping at the airport duty free stores and try the new fragrances introduced in the market before boarding the flight. There price ranges from low to high. Its always good to invest in an expensive perfume but for daily use I don’t personally prefer spending a bomb.

For daily use I prefer the ones that aren’t so expensive yet long lasting. I will list down pocket friendly fragrances and mists that are quite affordable and are unique.

Victoria´s Secret (Seduction Dark Orchid): This is on top of my favorite daily use mists and eau du Toilette. The scent is rich and dark, very sensual. Not floral or fruity,I hate fruity smell. This is a gorgeous, dark, sensual, and heady scent that still remains very wearable. This fragrance mist lasts longer than any of the other Victoria Secret´s fragrance mists I’ve tried over the years, and the packaging is very pretty too.

The bottle contains 250 ml which is a quite good deal for the price I paid for it.

Rating: 5/5

Price: 309 sek / 25$

I purchased mine from Victoria Secret store. Available at Amazon.com and Victoria secret store.

The Body Shop (White Musk Smoky Rose): This Eau De Toilette ranks second on my favs. This was gifted to me by a close friend of mine in India and after using it I have fallen in love with it. The rose combined with the musk, the rose doesn’t smell too powdery or sour, nor does is smell like vintage dusting powder. It is deeper and has a stronger floral scent without being too overpowering. It’s fresh and clean-refreshing. Its enchantingly Feminine and smells like another Victoria secret, which it is not. Lasts all day long long. Available in three different sizes.

Rating: 4.5/5

Price: 208sek, 25$, 1700 INR for 60 ml.

Available at all BodyShop store and Bodyshop online

Zara(Texture): This Eau de Toilette is dupe to Chanel Chance in my view. This perfume Zara Textures caught my attention staright away in the store, not only is the packaging super cute but it’s a lovely light, feminine and slightly musky scent. I picked this when there was a sale at the Zara store. Zara is unique in that most of their products are manufactured in Europe and in small quantities, meaning that the time between a product being designed and appearing in stores is greatly reduced. This means they can offer customers a range that is constantly changing.

I am not sure if this is still available in the store as I don’t see them online either. 🙁 Last long for a good amount of time.

Price: I bought it for 150sek but it retails for 250sek I guess.

Might be available at some Zara store.

Yves Rocher (The Vert): Yves Rocher is not a very known brand but its quite similar to The Body Shop offering natural and organic beauty products for men and women, its comparatively cheaper to The Body Shop. The Vert was launched recently and has been one of favs. Yves Rocher THE VERT is inspired by the “intense freshness of green tea”. The composition opens with fresh and luminous citruses and tea which are key to the composition of the the Vert. Lasts long for half a day, might have to reuse it later in the day.

Rating: 3.5/5

Price: 219 sek is the ordinary price, however I bought it when it was launched and I paid 169 sek for it or 24€.

Can be purchased from Yves Rocher stores or Yvesrocher online.

United Colors of Benetton (Charming Firangipani): This is the cheapest of all that I mentioned. Benetton Body Mist is a series of lovely fresh aromatic scents inspired by nature’s aromas. It has strong fragrance as others. Soft, feminine but not too long lasting. Has a floral scent to it.
