Now that summer has ended many people are looking to switch up their perfume rotation. When many people think of fall, they associate it with cozy vanilla scents. Fall is a season where scents such as pumpkin, marshmallows, vanilla, and cashmere are the most popular, but many college students aren’t able to afford high end perfumes that fit these criteria and actually make an impact! Here are some highly complimented and affordable perfumes for those who want to smell amazing on a budget for this fall season!
Sweet Tooth by Sabrina Carpenter
This fragrance in short is a sugary sweet, yet warm vanilla scent. With notes of Chocolate Marshmallows, Milky Vanilla, Ginger, and Cream this scent is something that can get you compliments from anyone who passes by. The perfume is priced only at $30, but if you want a more affordable option there is also its complimentary body spray which is only priced at $10. This perfume also comes in a variant with added caramel notes for those who prefer a more intensely sweet warm smell.
Cashmere Vanilla by Frenshe
This perfume grew popular on social media, and honestly it deserves all the praise! This perfume has notes of vanilla, amber, and musk which gives it the initial impression of being a sweet creamy gourmand vanilla, but it then develops into a warm sensual vanilla and musky scent that can have people asking you what you’re wearing. The amber and vanilla complement one another well enough to the point where this is a highly loved scent of many. The best part of this perfume is the cost. The perfume is priced at $30, but its body and linen mist is only half of the cost for $15!
Vanilla Skin by Phlur
This body spray grew enough fans to where the brand created a matching perfume for it. Although the perfume is costly, its matching body spray is something that many people including me have come to adore. The way I can describe this body spray is like a classic, yet spicy vanilla. With notes of sugar, pink pepper, vanilla, cashmere, and sandalwood, this spray gives the classic vanilla lovers what they want. The sugar and spice kick is what many adore in several scents and for only $24 I believe this is a good candidate.
Cozy Fireside S’more by Bodycology
This fragrance like the name implies is a sugary yet warm scent. With notes of smoky marshmallow, sandalwood, and chocolate it gives many with a sweet tooth the mouthwatering scent of their dreams. Personally, I was taken aback by this body mist as its price was genuinely a curve. This body spray is priced only at $17. Many may not give it a chance due to the reputation the brand has as being a drugstore leading brand, but it is definitely a hidden treasure that many will come to adore with time.
Sweet On The Outside by Fine’ry
This perfume has similar notes to the ones before, but one added note gives it a more mature and sensual scent. This perfume has notes of vanilla, smoke, and wood. These notes not only give it a rich depth, but it also gives the perfume a sweet and warm dry down that lasts hours. This perfume is priced at $30, but if you want a more budget friendly alternative there is its matching body spray priced at $15.
Chai Epice by Le Monde Gourmand
Many describe this perfume as “fall in a bottle” as it lives up to its name as being chai in a bottle! Leaning away from the vanilla notes it instead leans more towards a richer warm spice in comparison to the sweet sugary scents that were mentioned before. With notes of fig, musk, and blonde woods it transforms it into a desirable spicy scent that has a fresher sweet tone to it. This perfume itself only costs $25.
Cheriosa 40 by Sol De Janeiro
This perfume brand has made a long-lasting impact on the perfume community. From its gourmand sweet fragrances to their light and fresh scents Sol De Janeiro has become a beloved brand by many. This perfume is described as a warm floral, but it comes out more as a deep fruity vanilla that is head turning. With notes of plum, jasmine, vanilla, and musk this perfume has a sensual scent that many gravitate towards. This scent is attention and compliment grabbing and for only $25 its impact is even stronger.
There are many ways to care for yourself and I believe finding a signature scent it’s what many are looking for in these coming seasons. Affordability is something that many look for due to the rapid increase in price that many products have. There are many options that are out there for those who are looking for a cost friendly addition to their self-care routines.
