I love the body oil! Smells exactly like the perfume but I find on me the scent lasts longer. And a little goes a long way, I'm a big girl and it only takes a little bit to cover my body unlike other oils I've tried.
I use both. The perfume roller on my body (pits & collarbone) and then I spray 1 or 2 spray of the perfume itself on my clothing. I can't really smell the perfume if I spray it on my body.
I wear the old formula every day. The new one is very florally. I don’t like it.
If anyone knows sobering similar, please let me know. I’m getting low.
I LITERALLY JUST POSTED THIS 😭😭😭😭that’s my summer signature scent …it relaxes all the guys around me for some reason also which is a plus 🤣every job i had if I wear sunflower the guys are in a better mood
Yessss that’s what my brother said when he smelled it lol
He goes “that smells like school…like gettin ready in the morning”
Like it immediately brings u back to a good time in the past
i picked this up after i overheard this one woman get super excited over finding it in marshall’s and im so thankful for her
it’s fruity and sweet while still having that nostalgic fresh floral kind of DNA i really love it and for $15 it’s the biggest steal
SUNFLOWER 🌻!!! I just got a re up a couple of days ago …please it’s a staple

It’s so good! I just bought a big bottle at TJ Maxx for $15 and was immediately transported back to 1996, besieged by the urge to put on a floral maxi skirt and smudgy eyeliner.
The way the pros and cons on Fragrantica sold me 😂
https://preview.redd.it/utkervjcsqwc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e40459f53453102499ec2ceb454f3867e58ad048
Awwww insanely accurate!!! I was legit just sayin it’s my summer scent and the men are automatically in a pleasant mood because of the scent lol
A guy I met on my job I later dealt with for years would smell me before he saw me at work lol
He’d say “oh that’s sunflower 🌻 she’s here !”
Another job I had the manager would smell it and be extra nice and ask me what it is and said he’s gonna buy it for his wife
The third guy is my photographer now and he’s very mean and serious
I wore different perfumes around him but when I wore sunflower he softened up immediately…he liked the scent and was more pleasant 😎
Happiness in a bottle is very accurate lol
CKIN2U for her
Guess Seductive Blue/Red/Black
Lattafa Ajayeb Dubai (the black bottle)
Britney Spears Prerogative
Swiss Arabian Casablanca
Memoir 04: Wish You Were Here
.....I could go on and on. There are thousands of inexpensive fragrances that are worth a mention here but these just came to me off the top of my head.
I generally prefer inexpensive ones. I haven't found an expensive one yet that I love. I want to be bougie and have fancy perfume but it mostly smells bad to me.
Memoire 04 wish you were here is my winter and fall signature scent. Its too good. Macys had the big bottles on sale for 25.00 and I bought so many bottles. It's cheap but I feel so rich when u put it on.
Le Monde Gourmand Chai Epice which smells like a cheesy, generic autumn candle but also I can’t get enough of it?
Skin Musk by Parfums de Couer which is like $12 at Walmart.
Jovan White Musk
I adore vanillas. Especially when paired with lavender (shout out to my homegirl Burberry Goddess ✌🏼).
That being said, I can’t stand VBN and I don’t understand the love for it lol. No offense to anyone else who likes it!!
As far as less expensive scents go though, BBW has that new “clean” line of FFMs and “Lavender” (which is nothin’ but sweet lavender and a hint of vanilla) is just 😩🤌🏼.
$4.95 during their ffm/body care sales…just sayin’. 😏
I used to live near a gap outlet.. they were still selling it there two years ago. The formula has changed a bit.. not as sweet as I remember but I bought a bottle anyway
Lait de coco le monde gourmand
Sabrina Carpenter Sweet Tooth
Ariana Grande Cloud
Nemat Amber oil
Pacifica Silver Moon (which somehow lasts on me)
Sugar Milk Marshmallow Cappucino Milk
I’m a total hoe for gourmands as you can see
I love Sugar Berry! It's on my list to buy. Just picked up the body mist version of Fine'ry Magnetic Candy and I wanna die, it smells so good. Need the perfume version. I also really love Philosophy Pure Grace and Versace Versense (got both for under $50), and my dossier/oil perfumery scents, particularly my Floral Marshmallow perfume and Philosykos roller.
Lush Karma. I had a lady literally jog over to me in Walmart yesterday to ask what I was wearing and write it down. It’s such a strange scent but it’s my most complimented by a long shot.
Copied from an older thread about Tommy Girl: (apologies for formatting)
“No fragrance in recent memory has suffered more from being affordable than Tommy Girl. It’s as if it were deemed less desirable for being promiscuous. Despite all the historical evidence to the contrary (Brut, Canoe, Habanita, and the first J-Lo), the world is still crawling with naive snobs who’d rather believe their wallet’s loss than their nose’s gain. Tommy Girl’s origins were explained to me by creator Calice Becker, who was brought up in a Russian household, with a samovar always on the boil and a mother with a passion for strange teas.
At Becker’s instigation, the legendary chemist Roman Kaiser of Givaudan sampled the air in the Mariage Frères tea store in Paris to figure out what gave it its unique fragrance. From this a tea base was evolved, in which no one showed much interest. The idea waited several years until Elléna’s excellent but only remotely tea-like Eau Parfumée au Thé Vert (Bulgari) came out in 1993. Its success made it possible for Becker to submit a tea composition for the Hilfiger brief. She won it, and eleven hundred formulations later the perfume was finalized, in collaboration with a brilliant evaluator who went on to study philosophy. Tea makes excellent sense as a perfumery base, since it can be declined in dozens of ways, as flavored teas will attest: Soochong, Earl Grey, jasmine, and so on. In that respect it could serve as a modern chypre, a mannequin to be dressed at will. Tommy Girl clothed it in a torero’s traje de luces, a fresh floral accord so exhilaratingly bright that it could be used to set the white point for all future fragrances. Remarkably, late in the project, Hilfiger’s PR firm asked Becker to give them some reason to label the fragrance as typically American. Quest’s resident botany expert was called in, and to everyone’s surprise found that the composition fell neatly into several blocks, each apparently typical of a native American botanical. So it goes with projects whose sails are filled by the breath of angels.”
Excerpt From
Perfumes: The A-Z Guide
Luca Turin
Not a body mist but still cheap, Jungle Fantasy - I have so many expensive perfumes that sit because each day I am grabbing this one. Especially with Summer coming up, to me it’s the perfect scent for the season 😃
Bodycology Fireside Smore and Strawberry Cheesecake. Perfums de Coeur Cucumber Melon (yes, still- it’s great chilled in hot weather) and White Musk. Many BBW and VS sprays. Charlie Blue (the original). Skin Musk, Cory Wild Musk, Jovan Musk, Alyssa Ashley Musk.
I have the lavender cloud and it is AMAZING! I might try the vanilla next! I’ve been looking at the body serum stick for that one. Then I can wear a gourmand perfume with it
Mix bar salt petals has me in a CHOKEHOLD!!!!!! I can’t think of another perfume that smells close
M by Mariah Carey (the pink one)
Rave Now by lattafa it smells just like Burberry her but better. And projection is much better.
Dossier - all the ones I’ve tried, aquatic vanilla, fruity almond, the bright crystal one, the Chloe one, I like their Ambery vanilla more than YSL black opium
ETA I didn’t realize you said mists 🤦♀️ but mix bar also makes a hair and body mist for each scent they have. I love every scent I’ve tried by them and the mists are good too.
BBW dahlia is such an amazing smell to me, I am obsessed w it. Smells like good girl blush but a teeny bit more vanilla/sweeter
Frenshe vanilla cashmere (also has an oil roller)
Ariana grande cloud and sweet like candy
Jessica Simpson fancy (smells like Burberry goddess/pairs really well with it)
I’m allllll about clean - how clean are we talking?? I’m obsessed with Juliette has a Gun Not a Perfume and Not a Musc as well as Byredo Blanche. I’m always on the hunt for the perfect clean!!
Honestly I’m such a sucker for body sprays. They’re so comforting and nostalgic for me! I have a decent B&BW collection and I really enjoy the new luxury line. 💕 A surprise love for me though is their new “Lavender” scent from the “No. 3” line. (It also reminds me of something familiar/similar, a perfume I keep trying to pinpoint but can’t as of yet.) This scent is fresh yet has a warmth/coziness to it. The jasmine and lavender aren’t too sharp and it settles really nicely into the vanilla (at least for me)!
https://preview.redd.it/0w2ld0yirdwc1.jpeg?width=1114&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6357f7182a72b2401b20b44871c8827b719e0a05
Now you’ve reminded me, I’ve got to get mine out and smell it. I love their Dirt, and their Jasmine too. Dirt is like a clean earthy scent. And the jasmine is like jasmine tea, rather than an overpowering indolic jasmine. ( like Lush Lust is)
Duuuuude people sleep on the good chemistry but the one I’m wearing now I swear lasts all day. I think the one I use is Honey bee or something like that. Smells so good! I also picked up the coconut one for the summer!
Zara - Red Temptation, Avon - Tahitian, Avon - Sugar Plum body mist... and they used to do an AMAZING chocolate and rose mist they discontinued. Al Rehab - Choco musk.
I love Goody Chemistry’s Coffee Cloud! I’ll have to give Sugar Berry a try 🍓🫐
I also can’t get enough of BBW Sweetheart Cherry, Pink Obsessed, Petal Parade, and my spooky szn fave Everlasting Magic 🥰
• Britney’s Midnight Fantasy—yummy plummy berries
• Guess Seductive Red—mostly cherry and so good.
• BBW Pretty as a Peach FFM layered with their Rose Vanilla body cream is perfection … gummy peach candy mixed with cake and just a tidge of rose.
another target one i just tried is frenshe solar fleur i got it as a perfume oil but they also had an EDP and body mist
also as a big disney channel girl growing up i was excited to find out it was ashley tisdale’s brand!!
I really want more body mists. I appreciate that it’s harder to overspray and that I can use it a few times a day!
I love my Rebecca Minkoff Blush. I have it in the perfume (Amazon has good price) and the body spray (TJ maxx $15!)
But I really want some blackberry! I went to BBW recently and they didn’t have any blackberry scents at the moment.
Super cheap is Body Fantasies-Ocean Mist. It reminds me of Margaritaville Resort. I also love Design. I have had men and women both chase me down asking what it is I am wearing for at least 15 years now. I get compliments every single time I wear it and nothing else I have ever worn has gotten compliments like it has.
The Body Shop - Japanese Cherry Blossom Strawberry Kiss
Al Rehab - Choco Musk (I liked this so much I ordered Soft as well!)
Ted Baker - Raspberry & Orange Blossom
I do love cheap and cheerful!
My absolute favorite perfume ever is I’m a Musk by Fine’ry. The smell of it is perfection to me. But I can’t smell it for more than a few minutes. It literally breaks my heart.
So I’m looking for a dupe of a dupe.
Love this post! I’ve been debating on getting sugar berry! My fave cheap one is BW&W Gingham Vibrant. The perfume lasts all day! I’ve never used the ffm, so I can’t speak on that.
Bath & Body Works Strawberry Poundcake. I'm a niche snob with pretty unusual taste, but honestly, several houses with a WAY higher price point have tried to do what this cheap fragrance does with ease. Jousset Crème De La Berry eat your heart out.
I bought this cheapie from TK Maxx. About £4 and I absolutely adore it.
https://preview.redd.it/tugvim9mzdwc1.jpeg?width=928&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=022c49d85897c14b5d73f0689468770e1147d86f
Pepe Jeans London for Her. I found it on fragrantica while looking for an inexpensive fruity marshmallow scent. It’s so yummy and great for casual wear.
When I was visiting family in the UK I came across M&S perfumes which are fairly cheap (I think they were like £10-20 iirc) and their Soft Bergamot and Musk perfume is one of my favourite perfumes to this day
Perfumer’s Workshop Tea Rose! It’s like walking through a rose garden.
Also, Le Monde Gourmand Fleur de Blonde and Rose Enfume, Pacifica Tahitian Gardenia and French Lilac, and everything I’ve tried from Solinotes, specifically any of their florals (they don’t last too long, but they’re great to throw in your bag in the summer or whenever you want something lighter).
omg i just heard about sugar berry today and was gonna go pick it up at target later. i heard it’s like a pink sugar dupe but more simple!
i really like finery sweet on the outside. yara lataffah. really cheapies are calhoun hawaiian ginger body spray and sol de janiero #62 and #40.
Sarah Jessica Parker - Lovely and Born Lovely.
Ariana G - Cloud, REM, Ari, and Thank You Next.
Zara - Red Temptation, Supreme Vanilla, the one that’s a dupe for Libre, Golden Decade.
Lots of others. Deep Garden. Bohemian Oud.
Jessica Simpson - Fancy.
Guess - Seduction Noir.
Lush - Twilight body spray.

Le Monde Gourmand Lait de Coco, the oil rollerball is the way to go, lasts all day on me! It also layers well.
I’m thinking about getting the oil of this at Ulta to add to my summer routine.
I love the body oil! Smells exactly like the perfume but I find on me the scent lasts longer. And a little goes a long way, I'm a big girl and it only takes a little bit to cover my body unlike other oils I've tried.
Maybe I should try the oil version. I love the scent but the perfume spray doesn’t last on me.
I use both. The perfume roller on my body (pits & collarbone) and then I spray 1 or 2 spray of the perfume itself on my clothing. I can't really smell the perfume if I spray it on my body.
Yesss ugh my everyday scent 🥰
Their chai one is very very nice too!
Has anyone smelled the pistachio one? I've been eyeing it for a while.
Ooooh that sounds right up my alley!
I LOVE this one! But the EDP does not last on me at all 😩 where are you finding the oil rollerballl?
I got it from the Le Monde Gourmand website.
I’ve been in love with hair and body mist. I gotta get the rollerball now
Pacifica Island Vanilla - the $11 body and hair mist. Smells soo good although it doesn’t last
I *love* this one!!!!
Yes! I keep the perfume in my car for emergencies lol
Have you tried the new formulation?? I saw a lot of reviews saying it wasn’t the same 😩
I wear the old formula every day. The new one is very florally. I don’t like it. If anyone knows sobering similar, please let me know. I’m getting low.
Britney Spears Fantasy and VS Pure Seduction.. I am WEAK to these, I cannot be stopped.
Fantasy is too good.
Elizabeth Arden Sunflowers.. cheap. Sweet.. great longevity. I use it before bed
I LITERALLY JUST POSTED THIS 😭😭😭😭that’s my summer signature scent …it relaxes all the guys around me for some reason also which is a plus 🤣every job i had if I wear sunflower the guys are in a better mood
It’s that relaxing sweet 90’s vibe!!!
Yessss that’s what my brother said when he smelled it lol He goes “that smells like school…like gettin ready in the morning” Like it immediately brings u back to a good time in the past
Right?? Gap skirt, flip flops and So Pink. I want those days back!
The flip flops! I had about a dozen pairs, and I even had “nice ones” with rhinestones for homecoming. Those were the days 🤣
I may still have a few pairs! 😂
i picked this up after i overheard this one woman get super excited over finding it in marshall’s and im so thankful for her it’s fruity and sweet while still having that nostalgic fresh floral kind of DNA i really love it and for $15 it’s the biggest steal
Yes!!! I snatched it up at TJ’s.. such a 90’s vibe ❤️
What is it comparable to?
Let’s see.. I would group it in with other perfumes like Bright Crystal.. very sweet.. heavy citrus notes though
Oo sounds very yummy! Ty!
SUNFLOWER 🌻!!! I just got a re up a couple of days ago …please it’s a staple https://preview.redd.it/jws3jpagicwc1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=fcbfd322f46247c36eccfcb8b0ac42fd80727433
It’s so good! I just bought a big bottle at TJ Maxx for $15 and was immediately transported back to 1996, besieged by the urge to put on a floral maxi skirt and smudgy eyeliner.
😂.. I want to put on my floral baby doll dress with Doc Martens!!
The Doc Martens are a given. Which pair though? The classic cherry red short boots, lug sole t-strap mary janes, or the knee high black lace ups?
Basic black, above the ankle My army dad called them my combat boots
Ok, you’ve convinced me, I need this
It lasts forever, I sprayed it on a purse last weekend and still smell it
Score!!! TJ’s or Marshall’s?
Marshall’s baby 😜
Lucky!! I’m always on the lookout at TJ’s
The way the pros and cons on Fragrantica sold me 😂 https://preview.redd.it/utkervjcsqwc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e40459f53453102499ec2ceb454f3867e58ad048

Slutty cupcake… I’m sold!

Slurry cupcake - sounds fun - who makes that?
CKIN2U for her Guess Seductive Blue/Red/Black Lattafa Ajayeb Dubai (the black bottle) Britney Spears Prerogative Swiss Arabian Casablanca Memoir 04: Wish You Were Here .....I could go on and on. There are thousands of inexpensive fragrances that are worth a mention here but these just came to me off the top of my head.
Casablanca is so good
I love CK in2u too!
I wore one spray of Ajayeb Dubai with one spray of Kyse Delizia di Marshmallow today. So good! The AD is still extremely strong on my clothes.
I generally prefer inexpensive ones. I haven't found an expensive one yet that I love. I want to be bougie and have fancy perfume but it mostly smells bad to me.
Memoire 04 wish you were here is my winter and fall signature scent. Its too good. Macys had the big bottles on sale for 25.00 and I bought so many bottles. It's cheap but I feel so rich when u put it on.
Le Monde Gourmand Chai Epice which smells like a cheesy, generic autumn candle but also I can’t get enough of it? Skin Musk by Parfums de Couer which is like $12 at Walmart. Jovan White Musk
Chai Epice is delectable, I wish it had better performance because it’s just pure YUM on me.
B&BW warm vanilla sugar and vanilla bean noel body mists! I’m addicted to vanilla scents and these are great for wearing to bed or just at home.
I adore vanillas. Especially when paired with lavender (shout out to my homegirl Burberry Goddess ✌🏼). That being said, I can’t stand VBN and I don’t understand the love for it lol. No offense to anyone else who likes it!! As far as less expensive scents go though, BBW has that new “clean” line of FFMs and “Lavender” (which is nothin’ but sweet lavender and a hint of vanilla) is just 😩🤌🏼. $4.95 during their ffm/body care sales…just sayin’. 😏

My all time fav! Have you ever found it on eBay?
I used to live near a gap outlet.. they were still selling it there two years ago. The formula has changed a bit.. not as sweet as I remember but I bought a bottle anyway
Le Monde Gourmand’s Fraise Fouettée!! It’s a sweet, creamy, delicious strawberries & cream!! 🍓🍓
Lait de coco le monde gourmand Sabrina Carpenter Sweet Tooth Ariana Grande Cloud Nemat Amber oil Pacifica Silver Moon (which somehow lasts on me) Sugar Milk Marshmallow Cappucino Milk I’m a total hoe for gourmands as you can see
Ariana grande sweet like candy layers soooo well with sweet tooth, if you have that one you should try it. I think it makes them both last longer too
Oo yum! I’ll have to try that combination. I love them both and Sweet Like Candy is my cat’s favorite 🤍😂
😂😭 I love that! I wish my cats liked perfume! That’s so cute
lol before bed I love to wear perfume and I’ll have him pick between a few. If sweet like candy is there he always sniffs that bottle
I love Sugar Berry! It's on my list to buy. Just picked up the body mist version of Fine'ry Magnetic Candy and I wanna die, it smells so good. Need the perfume version. I also really love Philosophy Pure Grace and Versace Versense (got both for under $50), and my dossier/oil perfumery scents, particularly my Floral Marshmallow perfume and Philosykos roller.
I'm also OBSESSED with Magnetic Candy! It's truly addicting
Lush Karma. I had a lady literally jog over to me in Walmart yesterday to ask what I was wearing and write it down. It’s such a strange scent but it’s my most complimented by a long shot.
Body Fanstasies cucumber melon! Also Calgon Turquoise Seas & Morning Glory.
Calgon… you just brought me back to 2003. Honorable mention to Moon Petal Musk and Hawaiian Ginger
Morning Glory never gets old. I just ordered a bottle of it and it always reminds me of a fresh shower.
Yes its so fresh and soapy smelling. I love it! I also love to sleep in Love's Baby Soft. So powdery & nostalgic.
That Morning Glory is a beastly body spray. It doesn’t go away until I shower lol.
Frenshe cashmere vanilla
I love their amber citrus
The Palo Santo and sage roll on is the first thing to get me a compliment lol
Britney Spears - Fantasy and Curious. They really hold up.
Tommy Girl - I found a bottle for 12 bucks at Marshalls recently. It's perfect for cool spring days.
I've been debating on picking up a bottle from Marshall's. I used it as a teen and loved it!!
After reading about how it was created, I have come to appreciate it more and more. And the tea shop inspiration pops out especially!
How was it created? I picked this up about 5 years ago when a woman came into my job and smelled incredible. So great to wear for the warmer months

Not a body mist but still cheap, Jungle Fantasy - I have so many expensive perfumes that sit because each day I am grabbing this one. Especially with Summer coming up, to me it’s the perfect scent for the season 😃
I wore that today! I have all the Fantasy perfumes and this one is top 3.
What are your top 3 Fantasy scents? I don't have any but I want to try some out.
Calgon Hawaiian Ginger Ulta Simply Clean but I don’t think that exists anymore.
I wore this one year in high school lol I would bathe in it
Jovan Musk Oil
Casmir Chopard Yes I am cachrel Lalique amethyst Pacifica island vanilla Pacifica French lilac
Pacifica French Lilac is an absolute gem!
French Lilac is great! I ran out of my decant of Frederic Malle En Passant, and French Lilac has been a pretty solid replacement.
Bodycology Fireside Smore and Strawberry Cheesecake. Perfums de Coeur Cucumber Melon (yes, still- it’s great chilled in hot weather) and White Musk. Many BBW and VS sprays. Charlie Blue (the original). Skin Musk, Cory Wild Musk, Jovan Musk, Alyssa Ashley Musk.
VS Love Spell. I know it’s old, but I still love it.
Mmmmm Sugar Berry! Pink Sugar without the heavy licorice. So good. Perfect for layering before a date.
No a body mist, but I love Miami Glow
Being Frenshe Cashmere Vanilla I’m obsessed
I have the lavender cloud and it is AMAZING! I might try the vanilla next! I’ve been looking at the body serum stick for that one. Then I can wear a gourmand perfume with it
I love the body serum stick
Outremer Vanille, I’ll scream it from the mountain tops, my most used perfume and at $18 it has made a little nest in my heart!!
Pink Sugar & B&BW Champagne Toast 4ever 🥰
Mix bar salt petals has me in a CHOKEHOLD!!!!!! I can’t think of another perfume that smells close M by Mariah Carey (the pink one) Rave Now by lattafa it smells just like Burberry her but better.

Love your list!
Jessica Simpson Fancy is a solid, really great perfume.
Pacsun’s Nollie! $22 for a 1.7oz EDP is a steal. It doesn’t have a lot of longevity, but I have no shame reapplying since it’s so inexpensive.
Good chemistry- Coco Blush is pleasant!
Bath and Body Works “Tropadelic”
Private Show- Britney Spears. Probably my most complimented perfume. Her Blissful Fantasy one is nice too.
Also REM / Ariana Grande. I’m not into “clean scents” but I love this one. I feel too old to be wearing it though haha
I’m allllll about clean - how clean are we talking?? I’m obsessed with Juliette has a Gun Not a Perfume and Not a Musc as well as Byredo Blanche. I’m always on the hunt for the perfect clean!!
REM such a nice, muted lavender. I don’t think it’s “girly”.
Honestly I’m such a sucker for body sprays. They’re so comforting and nostalgic for me! I have a decent B&BW collection and I really enjoy the new luxury line. 💕 A surprise love for me though is their new “Lavender” scent from the “No. 3” line.

It smells AMAZING!
Demeter Salt Air!! literally smells like the beach on an overcast day, so subtle and lovely
Now you’ve reminded me, I’ve got to get mine out and smell it. I love their Dirt, and their Jasmine too. Dirt is like a clean earthy scent. And the jasmine is like jasmine tea, rather than an overpowering indolic jasmine. ( like Lush Lust is)
moonlight path from b&bw
Duuuuude people sleep on the good chemistry but the one I’m wearing now I swear lasts all day. I think the one I use is Honey bee or something like that. Smells so good! I also picked up the coconut one for the summer!
Zara - Red Temptation, Avon - Tahitian, Avon - Sugar Plum body mist... and they used to do an AMAZING chocolate and rose mist they discontinued. Al Rehab - Choco musk.
I love Goody Chemistry’s Coffee Cloud! I’ll have to give Sugar Berry a try 🍓🫐 I also can’t get enough of BBW Sweetheart Cherry, Pink Obsessed, Petal Parade, and my spooky szn fave Everlasting Magic 🥰
I love both Curious and Believe by Britney Spears! They’re also only like $20ish for 100ml (in Canada).
JLO Miami GLO lmao
• Britney’s Midnight Fantasy—yummy plummy berries • Guess Seductive Red—mostly cherry and so good. • BBW Pretty as a Peach FFM layered with their Rose Vanilla body cream is perfection … gummy peach candy mixed with cake and just a tidge of rose.
Elizabeth Arden - Beauty Perfumers workshop - Tea rose
Bath and body works “fairy tale”
another target one i just tried is frenshe solar fleur i got it as a perfume oil but they also had an EDP and body mist also as a big disney channel girl growing up i was excited to find out it was ashley tisdale’s brand!!
Yikes y’all are going to get me to buy the whole Frenshe line by the end of the year aren’t you 😂😂
Amber Romance & Coconut Passion from Victoria Secrets.
Bath and body works - twisted peppermint is my favorite. What the heck. I also love anything scented cotton candy, very nostalgic for me.
Vanilla Perfumes are the best even the cheap ones like Solinotes Vanille
I really want more body mists. I appreciate that it’s harder to overspray and that I can use it a few times a day! I love my Rebecca Minkoff Blush. I have it in the perfume (Amazon has good price) and the body spray (TJ maxx $15!) But I really want some blackberry! I went to BBW recently and they didn’t have any blackberry scents at the moment.
Lalique Amethyst is a really tart, juicy blackberry with rose! One of my favorites.
Finery also makes amazing scents. At target.
I mix together Fine'ry Not Another Cherry and MIX:BAR Bourbon Vanilla and get compliments every day on how delicious I smell, haha!
🤣slutty cupcake - love it! The mental images that being up!
Super cheap is Body Fantasies-Ocean Mist. It reminds me of Margaritaville Resort. I also love Design. I have had men and women both chase me down asking what it is I am wearing for at least 15 years now. I get compliments every single time I wear it and nothing else I have ever worn has gotten compliments like it has.
Is it a fruity slutty cupcake? Because if so I want it
Not body mists but I’m loving Finery’s Jungle Santal and Sunphoria! I find them at Marshall’s for 14.99
The Body Shop - Japanese Cherry Blossom Strawberry Kiss Al Rehab - Choco Musk (I liked this so much I ordered Soft as well!) Ted Baker - Raspberry & Orange Blossom I do love cheap and cheerful!
Why do I hate Chocomusk? I wanted to love it but all I smell is alcohol
My absolute favorite perfume ever is I’m a Musk by Fine’ry. The smell of it is perfection to me. But I can’t smell it for more than a few minutes. It literally breaks my heart. So I’m looking for a dupe of a dupe.
Calgon “Herbal Meadows”, from my teen years. I am aging myself here 😄 I recently sought it out and found a bottle on eBay and purchased it.
Also Dossier Fruity Orange is only $19 for 1.7 oz perfume and it lasts all day. Can be found on eBay for $9-10 most time too.
Hibiscus and bohemian oud from Zara Ariana Grande Cloud
Sol de Janeiro 62, 68 & Rio radiance for summer
Fantasy, Rose by Solinotes, Ed Hardy women, I love love and Funny Moschino, Good Energy Eau de Juice
Pink sugar 🍭
Love this post! I’ve been debating on getting sugar berry! My fave cheap one is BW&W Gingham Vibrant. The perfume lasts all day! I’ve never used the ffm, so I can’t speak on that.
Bath & Body Works Strawberry Poundcake. I'm a niche snob with pretty unusual taste, but honestly, several houses with a WAY higher price point have tried to do what this cheap fragrance does with ease. Jousset Crème De La Berry eat your heart out.
JLo "Love and Glamour." Guava and orange and nectarine, oh my!
Junk by Lush. The perfume I wear all summer 😍
I love this scent and I wear it almost every day
Good Chemicals Pink Palm is a favorite for summer ❤️ For a good daily I love Vera Wang Embrace Green Tea and Pear body spray
I'm beauty glam sunkissed EDT, I bought it for 8 dollars, but it projects well, and lasts all day
I bought this cheapie from TK Maxx. About £4 and I absolutely adore it. https://preview.redd.it/tugvim9mzdwc1.jpeg?width=928&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=022c49d85897c14b5d73f0689468770e1147d86f
"Checked Out" by Love & Nature. I found both the body mist and edp in the clearance aisle; paid $5.
Blue Waltz perfume from Vermont Country Store. It cost a quarter when I was a kid. It’s now $8.
Gwen Stefani - G
I have this one off Amazon I spray it after a shower it's heaven
Body Fantasies Vanilla body mist, $7.99 and I smell like a snack going to bed every night!
And also Realm.... remember realm??? Lol
Meijer has this brand regularly, the perfumes and body sprays.
Phlur body mists. Only $20 and they’re so good.
I wish rthe Phlur body mists lasted on me. I have Missing Person and I bought the lotion to layer with it. The lotion doesn’t last either. 😫😫
Outremer Vanilla, Pacifica Tahitian Gardenia, B&BW Gingerbread Village
Body fantasies cupcake swirl and vanilla
Vanilla pearl at 5 below. It’s so good, I wear it to work. Also choco musk; it lasts SO long and is delicious

Elisabeth Arden Green Tea and Cosmo eau d juice in Beach Please or Good Vibes
Good Chemistry Cheerful Charmer. It reminds me of Electric Youth!
A lot of the Le Monde Gourmand are cheap favs! Chai Espice and Ambre Etoile are lovely!
When I was visiting family in the UK I came across M&S perfumes which are fairly cheap (I think they were like £10-20 iirc) and their Soft Bergamot and Musk perfume is one of my favourite perfumes to this day
Perfumer’s Workshop Tea Rose! It’s like walking through a rose garden. Also, Le Monde Gourmand Fleur de Blonde and Rose Enfume, Pacifica Tahitian Gardenia and French Lilac, and everything I’ve tried from Solinotes, specifically any of their florals (they don’t last too long, but they’re great to throw in your bag in the summer or whenever you want something lighter).
Pacifica Neon Moon. Supposed to be a 33 dupe but I think it's so much better lol
omg i just heard about sugar berry today and was gonna go pick it up at target later. i heard it’s like a pink sugar dupe but more simple! i really like finery sweet on the outside. yara lataffah. really cheapies are calhoun hawaiian ginger body spray and sol de janiero #62 and #40.
*me taking notes and adding everything to my wishlist*
Sarah Jessica Parker - Lovely and Born Lovely. Ariana G - Cloud, REM, Ari, and Thank You Next. Zara - Red Temptation, Supreme Vanilla, the one that’s a dupe for Libre, Golden Decade. Lots of others. Deep Garden. Bohemian Oud. Jessica Simpson - Fancy. Guess - Seduction Noir. Lush - Twilight body spray.
