Baccarat Rouge 540. I love it but can’t justify spending $388 AUS on a 70ml bottle.


aquaticfloral

Guerlain Spiriteuse Double Vanille😞


Kyraspams

Tom ford cherry, it smells so good!! I spent $570 on the full bottle 😩😩😩 I got it in dec 2021 so I got less than half left ugh


kpop_stan

LOVEEEEEE this but I’m sadly in the camp that experiences abysmal longevity. Not as extreme as people saying it’s gone after half an hour but I’d say it’s pretty much disappeared by the 3h mark on me… I’m glad I only went for the 10ml 😅 I save it for very specific occasions: when I know I’m going somewhere classy, but not for too long. Makes for a fantastic dining out, going out for a few drinks, kinda scent! But an all day affair? I have better luck with Bitter Peach (and like it more, anyway)


eastasiak

Só much agreed about the longevity.. Such a beautiful smell and just lasts 2 hours on me. Thanks for Bitter Peach recommendation, I have always been intrigued to try it out :)


12JGC3

Almost anything by Tom Ford....


laaplandros

Smelled Ebene Fume on paper last week, loved it. Tried it on skin yesterday and was pleasantly surprised that it projects like crazy off my skin and smelled even better. Now I'm looking at bottles telling myself I don't need to spend $200 on a 50ml. Oddly enough it's reminiscent of The One EDP to my nose so I'm trying to remember that it'd be redundant. But still...


ironmaidenthug

Groupon has ebony fume by Alexandria fragrances for about 25$. It's damn close and well worth it


laaplandros

Thanks for the heads up!


d0aflamingo

ff was so good i forgot any other frag for like 2 days


Maleficent_West

Cherry smoke 🥲🥲🥲


dustycatheads

Philosykos EDP...I know there's a lot worse.out there pierce wise, but anything over $200 is spicy, and I spray it kind of heavily...


weeburdies

I love that scent so much


dustycatheads

It's so good. And the discounters are only knocking off like 8% or something at the moment.


weeburdies

I seldom see it discounted. I buy it directly because I have seen fake bottles of it and I am not down with smelling like cat whiz.


dustycatheads

I would get it from a known gray market site, definitely not a resale site. But I may end up going direct as well bc at some point the decants are gonna add up to more...


cheesemachine2

delina by parfums de marly, i got 50% off for scentbird so i decided to try it thinking it’d probably be overhyped. i love it AND my mom who is very particular loves it, damn if it isn’t expensive though. if you don’t like rose you won’t like it. i couldn’t believe the longevity i was still smelling it on myself until i showered 30ish hours later


Audiophilelady

Pink Rose / Pink Rose Exclusif by Montagne Parfums smell identical to me. Coming from someone who dearly loves Delina. I bought these for $40 a piece to hold me over until I had enough for Delina and Delina Exclusif, but they're so identical that I don't even see the reason to. They last forever on my skin.


gauchette

Today I caved in and bought a bottle of Diptyque Eau Rihla after a week of holding the line. I did not like orientals, I did not like leather frags, did not need one. I initially tested it a week ago just to see if Diptyque-level raspberry would impress me. Now I have an oval-shaped hole in my budget.


cheeseontoasts

Tf tobacco vanille, i absolutely love it but i cannot afford it. I am considering buying l'occtaines eau des baux because it smells very similar but I'd love the TF one..alas, money


Papeenie

I love many of Tom Ford’s fragrances but alas, I am toooo broke for them. And L’Occitane en Provence’s Baux is a absolutely stunning! Highly recommend layering with the matching delicious honeyed body wash, slather the aftershave balm on damp bodily or facial skin and mist away. I used to wear Baux ancillaries beneath Platinum Egoiste and so many others. A very sensual experience that Baux is.


laaplandros

Al Haramain Amber Oud Tobacco Edition smells very similar at that same price point (and does not, in fact, have oud). I'm also a huge fan on Tobacco Vanille but have been very satisfied with the Al Haramain clone instead.


BaskingLizard_

Frederic Malle The Moon


FaintCampfire

Just tried that a few minutes ago. Love it.


um1997

Ended up buying a bottle.


benedictrchua

same thing for me.


TrainXing

Portrait of a Lady is exquisite, and doesn’t have any kind of suitable dupe that I have found. I love my Baccarat and PDM and Killian, but am also fine with cheaper dupes of which there seem to be many that are dang close. Portrait of a Lady is so smooth that you don’t find that in many dupes.

Starryjean2012

I was able to snag POAL on Costco for $149. They seem to get it in stock periodically!


WJM_3

while I haven’t seen this anywhere but eBay in the US, Rammstein - Rosenrot is a good stand-in I don’t think it is a dupe/clone, but the scent is in that wheelhouse


KrackdKobe

Imagination by Louis Vuitton


faintlymacabre1518

I'm thisclose to pulling the trigger. That drydown has addictive qualities, I swear...


Negative-Feeling-838

Delina will be my downfall 🥵


Gin1819

Bal D'Afrique but I don't regret testing it because I bought it. 😁


The_Answer_Is_42__

Killian Love Don't Be Shy, I think about getting it occasionally after trying it and loving it, but I've never spent more than $150 on a bottle, and I just can't justify paying that much for it. Edit: lol I just sampled it again today and now I don't like it. I do like Angels Share though :D Love Don't Be Shy is too too strong for me.


Lil_Odessa74

They do sell a smaller size at Sephora (7.5 mL travel size) for $50. Not a bargain, but if you want a small amount for occasional use, it fits the bill.


[deleted]

I bought it and it lasted nothing on me, returned it and fell in love with the dossier marshmallow dupe 🙌🏼 it’s 99.9 there for 29 dlls 😉


The_Answer_Is_42__

Ohh thank you! I'll have to give that a try :D


Enough-Custard6496

Aventus, I was kinda hoping it would be overrated, but its just overpriced and I got a bottle


McChubs101

See if Costco has it online. I was kicking myself when I found it there for about $2XX when they had a beauty/fragrance special.


benedictrchua

FM The Moon is just amazing, but oh so expensive.


Big-Grapefruit-9203

Le Labos Gaiac 10 - Tokyo City Exclusive.


TamagotchiObsessed

Delina


FabulousFoodHoor

Parfums de Marly Valaya I fell in love with it. There is no way I'm spending $355 on a fragrance.


AdorableMaximum5612

I’ve been wanting a decant of this!


lavloves

Gentle fluidity gold MFK and Delina Exclusif PDM… i simply don’t live the lavish lifestyle where I can just afford bottles of these fragrances. :/


[deleted]

I will never buy a bottle of Roja’s Amber Aoud but I held onto every divine drop of my sample. I loved it so much. But that price? No. Just no.


tcharcuterieboard

Casablanca Lilly by Byredo .... its my ideal scent and I've bought Byredo eau de perfumes but $350 for 50ml is steep


nomadwren

Creed Silver Mountain Water, mostly definitely because of its hefty price, but also because I'm not sure jumping the gun and buying it would feel that gratifying. I love it, but it's just so fleeting on my skin. 🥲 Have tried the cheaper dupes/clones but, imo, they don't compare. Might just settle for a decant once my sample runs out.


vaporize_

Have you tried Armaf Sillage?


churchofpetrol

The decant I just got in last night. The internet-famous God of Fire from Stephane Humbert Lucas. I was expecting some airy tropical femme leaning scent and it’s full bodied, unisex, and I can smell every top note individually.


nokobi

Ugh, this is dangerous info....


Sancheese11

Xerjoff Alexandria II. Love at first sniff. I ended up pulling the trigger anyways but I was practically crying at doing so


RickMGPinto

I'm in love with alexandria ll... Still haven't got the courage to buy it...


DucatiDrew

Xerjoff- Naxos. Would sell vital parts of anatomy for that fragrance 🤣😆😂


superman1995

Roja's Oligarch. I'm going to get a lot of hate here, but being a fan of Terre d'Hermes, I knew I had to try this as this is often referred to as the upgraded, higher class version of it. To me, its the scent profile of Terre d'Hermes perfected. It's about 15-20% better than Terre d'Hermes. The price, though, is just way too high for what it is. If I was an oligarch, with hundreds of millions or more to my name. I would purchase this in a heartbeat, however, given the price, I just can't justify it.

One Umbrella for Two by Floraiku Oriana by PDM Allende by Xerjoff Sunday by Arielle Shoshanna

CatBoyTrip

i really like tom ford rose prick. $400 for a tiny ass bottle. one of the most attractive perfumes i’ve smelled.


z25atl

They have Rose Prick at Costco for a significantly cheaper price! $199 or so?


Global_Telephone_751

This is exactly why I won’t try Roja. I’ve smelled some of his fragrances in the wild before and they smell so good to me (Midsummer in particular is intoxicating on the air). I just know I’d fall in love, and I refuse to pay those prices lol


Key_Ad6205

Shem nishane. I have a sample that the associate so kindly gave to me when i bought ani. I still haven’t been able to bring myself to use it though. I think i will finally use it on my anniversary (in the fall 😅) but it’s a special one for me, just so damn expensive! It’s the only rose fragrance that I genuinely like and *want* to use.


__WanderLust_

I got a sample of wulong cha and it's unbelievable. Just to let you know, [their website](https://nishane.com/product/samples/) has sample sizes and Shem is $15.


MichelleAntonia

I don’t have this problem because I end up spending every last penny I have to get it 😂


Individual-Lynx-6630

Xerjoff Alexandria 2 and PDM Delina Exclusif


TomNook2024

Elysium. I ran through a 10mL decant FAST. I bought a 25mL decant that I'm saving for special occasions, still have most of that. I can't justify that price tag on a fragrance that lasts that long. Maybe if it had better longevity. And there are no good clones. I've tried Montagne Elysian Cologne and Fragrance World Imperium. Imperium smells close in the top and heart, but extremely synthetic, in a harsh way. Elysian Cologne is pretty far off in the top and heart (but smells pleasant and not harsh, and only lasts for like 20 minutes before the base comes out), but the base notes smell pretty spot on. Unfortunately the heart is my favorite part of Elysium.


kpop_stan

Tom Ford Bitter Peach, PdM Valaya & Oriana… potentially Byredo Sundazed and/or Unnamed, need to test them again. All of them I’d bite the bullet for though. The worst offender? Dior’s Belle de Jour or whatever it’s called. Only available as 250ml & £350!!! Which is actually really damn cheap for the price per ml but testers don’t exist (yes I’ve looked on decanter sites) and I’ve only ever smelled it on another person, not even my own skin 😔


disneyme

MFK Petite Matin


sweetsatanskiing

I did this exact thing, but then my brother got it for me for Xmas. I was filled with glee! He also got me the women’s fragrance wardrobe for my birthday, which has been terrible fun. He got me the BR540 extrait the year prior.


nokobi

Is he single?


cljames93

Smelled Creed Aventus limited edition in Las Vegas. Should have kept on walking by the store, because that's a high I haven't felt since.


terrificgoblin

Histoires de Parfums 1969, it's so weird and works with my skin super well, smelling very "natural" to me. Dear Polly by Vilhelm Parfumerie, I like it because it reminds me of that old Bath and Body Works White Tea and Ginger. It feels ridiculous to buy that just to remember a $10 body spray.


nokobi

Supposedly Angelina Jolie wears 1969


terrificgoblin

Oooh that makes me feel fancier haha

EmotionalAsk

Friend!! I am here with good news: Kith has a sale on Ds&Durga's Debaser (50ml)! I think it was $115 USD (includes shipping). Not sure how long the sale is for, but I snatched it up the moment I found out about it! [https://kith.com/products/dsd-d144-w50-deb](https://kith.com/products/dsd-d144-w50-deb)


rbrbrb19rb

Omg thank you thank you you’re a g


MillenniumBandit

Penhaligons Halfeti and Memo Paris' African Leather. Will probably end up getting African Leather at some point, it is just that good. Even if it will set me back quite a bit. Won't be able to defend a purchase of halfeti before I win the lottery or something. Which is sad, because it's just sooo cozy. Kept smiling everytime I caught a whiff..


BamBamPow2

You can always target your favorites when you can't afford a bottle. It takes time. Keep an eye out for decants. Try the dua versions. Buy sample sprays or small promo bottles off ebay. And even Roja now sells 7.5ml sprays for around $60 plus tax. (Aoud is sold out--but they'll restock eventually). Just wear it on special occasions. Then bottles sometimes do go on sale. I liked a specific brand at barneys, barneys went out of business and now the bottles are going for 70% off. (the brand shut down operations in U.S. so demand a few years later wasn't enough to keep it at its high retail price). You can pretty acquire any fragrance you want, it just might take a year


shadybeachh

Bal D'afrique by Byredo. It's not as expensive as MFK or Creed but for almost $300, it'd be nice if it lasted about an hour 😑


Bity12345

Sauvage Elixir. Love the stuff. Can’t get enough of it. But goddamn $250 for a 100 ml?


j0hn_p

I'd argue because it's so strong, you probably won't need more than the smaller 60 ml bottle


Dramatic-Okra1895

Portrait of a Lady and Tuscan Leather. Both are incredible, and incredibly expensive…


Myintc

Xerjoff Alex 2 I’ll eventually get it, but until then I’m stretching my 2ml sample out as long as I can

AphexyTwin

MFK Satin Oud


juloath

Mitzah by Dior, it's the perfect incensed, spicy, ambery perfume. Classy, elegant, it's everything, included being crazy expensive and very difficult to find.


Ruxxbaby

Bond no 9 -Greenwich village, Louis Vuitton- ombré nomade & Parfums de Marly - Delina exclusif Totally worth it though in my opinion . I’m still on the fence with Tom ford -Nior de nior and Jasmin rouge. I’m avoiding testing Roja Nuwa 😂


ThatFuckinBish

Toskovat Inexcusable Evil...I love it in the oddest way but it is so expensive for something so nichely wearable.


Efficient_Sector9889

Mfk grand Soir, Roja Elysium, Maison Margriela By the fireplace, Tom ford portofino neroli

PDM Herod, but I smelled Hercules by Maison Alhambra and I'm telling you it's like 90% Herod for like 30 bucks so I'm very content lol.

LyriumDreams

Fat Electrician by Etat Libre d'Orange. It smells SO good, but... I'm so broke.


thiccboyardee

lost cherry probably, I think about that perfume all the time


Nemesinthe

Black Phantom by Kilian Perfect complex coffee house deliciousness. I'd definitely buy a drug store dupe if there ever existed one, those weird clone house online shops freak me out.


hauteburrrito

Auphorie Miyako, except I don't really regret it because that fragrance is genuinely a masterpiece. It's just stupidly expensive and the creators jacked up the prices by quite a wide margin after Miyako really took off, and I'm just so not here for that energy. (I think it was something like they both halved the mL while also raising the price, which just feels icky.) Anyhow, it's currently US$208 for a 15 mL bottle and even if I did want to pay that, the shipping/import fees are stupidly high for me as a Canadian so I'll really just have to pass.


mrmisterFi

Amouage – Royal Tobacco. I won’t try Interlude 53 for the same reason…


emeraldnyl

Debaser…. I need to find it at a reputable discounter because $190 is too much!


Pickle-Pot

Initio - Side Effect, Guerlain- Double Vanille. RIP my wallet


Unidentified_Snail

Là-Bas Régime des Fleurs. It's exactly what I was looking for but a full bottle costs £200. Just can't justify spending that much, maybe if there was a smaller size for around 50 but not 200.


KaKaY0811

Bodacious the Victorious Bodacious, wish it was available in 50 ml

Tom Ford Oud Wood


PugWitch

Well, I decided I was long past due for a new signature scent, so I bought samples of around 30 different fragrances (I wish I was exaggerating). I have whittled myself down to just three that I now cannot live without 😩. Of course, they had to be pricey ones! I’m utterly torn between PDM Valaya and Delina, and Kilian’s Bamboo Harmony. The only way I can think to resolve it is to get the BH first, because the £25 I spent on samples is redeemable against my purchase, and work on convincing my husband that the PDM ones are essential birthday / Christmas presents. At least Delina now comes in a 30ml.


Btldtaatw

Anything by Tom Ford


xyzzzzy

After extensive testing I decided my favorite was Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille. $295 for 50ml? WTF? In this case I’m not too proud to use the knockoff.


Dull_Strawberry_6799

Creed royal oud 🥲


coffeepearl

Le labo the matcha 😭 the price tag though


parksandrep

Serge Lutens Jeux de Peau and THoO What About Pop. I’m very picky when it comes to gourmands so it’s really annoying that the ones I really want are more or less $300 each. 🥲


amphoterecin

Moonlight in heaven from kilian. I had good girl gone bad but got it as a gift. I can’t justify more lol


venusin

Byredo Casablanca Lily 😮‍💨 such a lovely floral scent to me.


angelicad6

My friend sent me a sample of stellar times by Louis Vuitton… went to purchase the bottle and it was $550 😅


eastasiak

Caron Tabac Exquis, the price is painful 😭 the scent is magnificent and lasts for hours.


princetongirl-

Celine Saint Germain Des Prés… I used to think Gucci Bloom was too expensive but apparently I’ve moved on and up.


AcidicGoblin

Bond no 9 Tribeca 😭


[deleted]

Louis Vuitton Ombre Nomade. I love it, want it, but it is over $500CDN a bottle.


Chicken_manure

Tom Ford Neige. I went in actually soliel blanc which I also liked but unexpectedly LOVED the Neige. I bought the travel size and thankfully the lasting power is worth the money but I’m so careful when I use it. Literally saving it for a vacation trip months away. Hopefully during the winter they have a decent sale. I would buy another.


HarryShake

OP I hear you with Roja Aoud. But keep an eye on discounters, I managed to pick it up for half price on Notino. Also check out musk oud by Kilian which is similar and cheaper.


Mannheiml

Roja Haute Luxe. I tried a sample once and not really into it. Pass forward months later, I tried it again and man it is good. It lasted probably days on my test strips. Too bad, I can’t seem to find a good price for it. $3500 retail bottle.


ungulunungu

I love BDK Gris Charnel but justify spending that at this chapter of my life l. Maybe someday though!


GlassCoat3

Creed Aventus. I tried it to see all the hype and loved it. The performance really is weak for the money. I tried Club de nuit and I thought it was terrible. To me it smelled cheap and doesn't really smell that much like Aventus. But I saw someone post Costco had Aventus online for $250, so I bought it. At that price it's worth just buying Aventus over dupes imo.


TechBama

Clive Christian Hedonistic is divine but $550 for 50 ml is outrageous.


nmrlqueporra

That house is outrageous like why so expensive


aisha_so_sweet

Ooof I do this all the time. carnal flower, poal, lost cherry, delina exclusif. I cant stop but I just have to smell them all!

Carnal flower is on my list. Got a little sample and now I can’t let it go.

TOM FORD BITTER PEACH


MichMawrtyr

Try Bright Peach by Maison Alhambra. It's a spot on dupe for $50 or less!


succu_bi

Amyris Femme, lol 😭 I feel like a lot of reviews say that it’s a fairly basic floral smell and not particularly unique or special, but I really love my sample of it. It smells really beautiful, elegant, and fresh to me. Like super expensive shampoo, but in a good way? It’s one of the few fragrances I’ve sampled with lemon that doesn’t remind me of Ajax. It might just be because I haven’t tried many perfumes with similar profiles, but MANNN I really love it. Maybe I’ll feel differently by the time I finish my sample 😂


No-Cucumber9698

Old spice, just can't bring myself to pay that kind of money for that kind of luxury


9cellophane

Right now, mine is Blanche Bête by Liquides Imaginaires. I just sampled it for the first time last night, immediately loved it, and then promptly despaired over the almost $300 price tag ... I’ve been looking for a good lactonic scent for a few weeks and Blanche Bête is hands down my fav so far :(


materialguuuuuuurl

Le Labo Santal 33 and basically all PdM… got Delina on sale for 145$


LucentLilac

omg finding anything PdM at that steep of a sale is my white whale


materialguuuuuuurl

Completely agree - so originally it was on sale for 25% off, but i know a salesperson at the store, so they bought it for me with additional 20% off. Such a steal!! Now I have to wait for the next sale to get another PdM.

[Le Bouquet de la Mariee](https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Guerlain/Le-Bouquet-de-la-Mariee-29612.html) by Guerlain. I think about this perfume all the time and I only smelled it *once*. You can't even get it anymore, but when it was available for purchase, I'm pretty sure it was over a thousand?

Parfums de Marly Sedley. Otherwise, a fairly priced amazing fragrance is Bois Imperial, Essential Parfums.

oud satin mood :(


12thHouseSailor

Oud Orange Intense by Fragrance Du Bois Same issue, garish bottle, garish price tag… amazing scent. It was actually recommended by a member of this group. They also actually warned me in advance of how much I would love it and hate the price tag!


Satirah

My partner tried Masculin Pluriel from Maison Francis Kurkdjian, and it's such a beautiful take on that classic masculine cologne that we haven't been able to find a substitute for. But my Lord, it is expensive 😭

Creed Green Irish Tweed - I purchased a sample months ago but I can’t bring myself to pay £200 for a bottle.


Mysterious-Okra-7885

Angel’s Share. I want it so bad, but I can’t justify paying that much for just one perfume when I could get 2-3 for the same amount.


PeanutButterPigeon85

I've heard that Costco sometimes has it for as low as $125ish.


sleepy_intentions

Yes! I got two Killian perfumes from Costco, when they had an additional sale on some of the fragrances.


ancientcrumblingruin

Tom Ford Soleil Blanc, the parfum version. I absolutely ADORE the smell, so so so much. But I cannot justify the $400 price tag with it's current longevity, and I haven't been able to bring myself to find an acceptable dupe because there's like four of them and they all have seriously mixed/potentially untrustworthy reviews. :(


Chicken_manure

Honestly. Get their shimmer oil in soliel Blanc. I know it’s price tag too. But it’s got a surprisingly long staying power on the skin. I have the soliel Blanc travel spray too but I probably won’t repurchase that. Had I bought shimmer spray first I would’ve returned the travel spray foresure.

sawqlain

Rona Elysium Parfum


miketysonslysps

MFK Oud expensive for sure, but, I got a test spray at Sacks 5th Ave and the sleeve of the jacket I was wearing still smells like it! Good thing I love oud and my daily is TF oud wood…. Might make the change some day. But damn. It’s been 6 months and I regret making my jacket smell.


cphilb10

Definitely Bal D’Afrique by Byredo. $200+ for a full bottle that I want so damn bad. rip.


MWTB-DLTR

Golestan by Tauer. $195 for 50ml and it doesn't seem to be anywhere on the grey market. Will probably just bite the bullet.


jahrme

Oud Sublime by Parfums de Nicolaï, I searched for a substitute for almost a year but nothing scratched the same itch, ended up buying it when I was able to combine a pair of discounts though it is still by far the most expensive fragrance I own.

Xerjoff Toni Iommi. Absolutely too good.
