I have bought a couple of 'budget friendly' perfumes, some from pharmacies and some online.
There are actually some that are quite good value, like these below:

+ Brut Oceans (RM20~RM30)
My father used to have this, so I bought it. Its actually pretty good value. Sadly its quite dated with spicy notes popular in the 80's. But its well blended and the scent is nice.

+ David Beckham Homme (RM30~RM40)
The scent is more modern and I prefer this smell over Brut. Its also well blended and doesn't hurt my nose. Honestly its not spectacular but still its a good everyday wear IMHO.


I've sampled some of the Romano perfumes sold in pharmacies. I didn't like their smell coze they smell quite synthetic, which gives a 'cheap' feel.
I've also bought some bad ones, like:

- Gatsby Bliss (RM15~RM20)
When I sampled it in store, I thought it was okay. But after I bought it and wear it a few times, I find it smell very synthetic like a chemical smell. After awhile it makes me feel sick from wearing it.

- Fujiyama Homme (RM20)
I got this online coze was on clearance. Now I know why. Super synthetic smell, and it really nauseating. I know people say try before you buy, but sometimes its hard to get a sample.



So these are some of my experiences, and I'm wondering if anyone has any other recommendations for budget perfumes?
or some experience with cheaper perfumes?

Davidoff Blue Water

Well, DBH smells similar to Davidoff's Cool Water in my opinion.
Is it not? Or just me? Lol!
