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?
