Cheap Fragrances - What Does Cheap Mean?

In classifying the ‘cheap’ in cheap fragrances, what are we talking about? Well, you could mean knockoffs, poor quality, or imitations. We could also mean bargain, budget, or economical. The fragrance world is, unfortunately, full of both types. There are colognes that are copied and sold for a lower price. They use less expensive ingredients. This results in poor quality. The scent may duplicate the main note or characteristic of the copied fragrance quite effectively, but usually fails in mimicking the undertones, or bottom notes. When using it, you won’t achieve the true smell of the original fragrance.



To avoid purchasing poor quality perfumes, always buy from a reputable seller. Check the seller’s feedback. Look for a 100 percent guarantee and return policy. A copied scent probably will not smell the same or last as long as the original one. Skin irritations can even result from cheap fragrances. The scent may disappear, or even become pungent. On the other hand, you may find your favorite brand name fragrance at a deep discount online. It will have the same pleasant odor that you are used to. This is achievable because many online stores have purchased your favorite cologne in bulk. Then, they pass on the savings to you.


You will find there are hundreds of internet stores that sell cheap fragrances. Don’t worry, you will have time in the comfort of your own home to filter though the sites, and find many that sell quality fragrances at bargain prices. There will be absolutely no compromise in ingredients. For those who are on a tight budget, lower prices may provide the only way to continue to purchase their favorite perfume. It is a wonderful thing in life to find just the right scent that you absolutely love to wear. Thankfully, it doesn’t have to become an impossible thing to be able to afford your signature scent.



It is pretty well known that colognes are less expensive than perfumes. Many times, colognes are made up of only one key note, or scent. Perfumes have at least three layers of scent. The price of a bottle of fragrance also depends on the quality of oils it is made up of. A fragrance that contains a lot of water or alcohol will evaporate quickly, with little to remain smelling nice on the skin. Cheap fragrances, as in poor quality, will not contain expensive oils. Expensive fragrances last longer on the wearer because of the precious oils that remain and soak into the skin. You definitely get what you pay for!
