Cosmopolitan Eau de Parfum Spray For Her, 100 ml (Pack of 1)

Product Information

With notes like Hinoki wood, cedarwood, and white musk, this cheap perfume smells like the outdoors in the best way possible (think: freshly cut stems and the forest after a rainstorm). And because it's an oil, the fragrance only gets stronger the longer you wear it.

Cosmopolitan 30 Best Summer Scents and Fragrances for 2022 - Cosmopolitan

Perfumes fall into two categories: eau de parfum (EDP) or eau de toilette (EDT). An EDP contains more fragrance oil than an EDT, meaning the EDP will last longer on the skin. This makes sense why the oilier your skin, the more intense a scent will be, and the less you will need. If you want something less fragrant, opt for a body mist. A body mist is the lightest form of fragrance and is typically cheaper. Start smallYou can't round up the best perfumes without a mention of Le Labo's most famous fragrance, Santal 33. At this point, it's the quintessential woodsy scent that's been duped time and time again, but the original will forever be one of my favourites. Love floral perfumes? Same, but I especially love one that’s got a bit of ~spice~ to take the edge off any overpowering powder vibes. And for this one, Gucci added a bit of warm brown sugar and patchouli to the otherwise jasmine and gardenia base to create the perfect mingling of woodsy and fresh. If you’re looking for low-key scent, lemme present to you this Jimmy Choo fragrance, which is basically the white T-shirt of perfumes. Pear, orchid, and patchouli keep the scent completely balanced: It’s a lil floral, a lil fruity, and a lil woodsy, so it never smells too loud or intense when you walk into a room—or when you leave it. It’s simple and timeless, the way a chill patchouli perfume should be.

Cosmopolitan 25 Best Patchouli Perfumes for Every Scent - Cosmopolitan

Summer is hands down my favorite time of year—like, I’ve basically been counting down the days since last summer. To prepare for Memorial Day Weekend (the unofficial start of summer which, TFG, is less than two months away!!) I've been making the obvious changes to my wardrobe, but I've always been updating my fragrance wardrobe too. That means switching out my darker, cozier perfumes for summer-inspired alternatives, like light florals and zesty citruses. Yup, just like how you swap your sweaters and hoodies out of your closet for cotton dresses and white t shirts, you should be updating the scents on your vanity too. It's a bit too heady for my tastes when worn on its own, so I prefer punching up the sweet notes by pairing it with a strong vanilla perfume like Kayali Vanilla 28 (this is actually a v common layering perfume with Lys 41, FYI!) to make it a bit more grounded and smooth. But I won't deny, she's a beast—of all the Le Labo perfumes I've tried, this is definitely the most long-lasting. The aldehyde note gives it a fresh-linens vibe, yet all of the bright citrus from orange blossom and mandarin orange. If typical coconut-y, sunscreen-esque summer scents feel a bit too forced for you, def smell this one, which has all of the beachy white florals, but instead pairs it with musk for some creaminess.Every time my roommate tells me I smell good, I'm wearing this cheap perfume from Cosmo's Eau de Juice line. Yes, it actually smells really effing good, and I’m not just saying that bc I work for Cosmo. (This baby is actually a lighter version of our Extra Concentrated Eau de Perfume.) The champagne accords, fruity (apple), and warm (golden amber) notes leave behind a scent that could easily be mistaken for an expensive fragrance. Comin' atcha with another hair and body perfume: The Dae Signature Citrus Hair and Body Mist is about to become your new fave scent. It's so freakin' fresh and is legit the perfect spring scent. If you’re already itching for summer (um, hi, same), try spritzing on this fruity floral perfume from Dolce & Gabbana. The juicy blend of mango and jasmine will have you yearning for warm, sunny days at the beach or in the park. This cheap fragrance is a whole fresh-smelling mood. The citrus notes of mandarin, lemon, and grapefruit combined with soft rose and magnolia will leave you feeling (and smelling) zesty, vibrant, and ready to take on the world (or, um, just the workday). The Phluid Project—a company rooted in amplifying youth's voices and rejecting binary gender norms—formulated a line of EDP perfumes that are vegan and cruelty-free. The notes in this scent are sweet mandarin, jasmine dew, and amber, which create an alluring warm and spicy scent.

Pure Sugar Cosmopolitan perfume - a fragrance for women 2019

This cheap perfume reminds me of laundry detergent, in the best possible way. It’s fresh and cozy, kind of like a Sunday afternoon. It’s the perfect everyday scent because of the subtle bergamot, peony, and amber notes. Plus, it’s a clean fragrance, meaning there’s nothing questionable in the formula (aka no sulfates, parabens, or phthalates). A lot of powdery floral perfumes can be way too...overbearing. Thankfully, that’s not the case with this affordable fragrance. It’s like you’re in a flower shop without any of the suffocating scents. It’s clean and classic, and it actually lasts. What’s not to love? This should be obvious, but as someone who has always been lowkey embarrassed by their love of cutesy, teenage-y, sweet and fruity scents (i.e., ~gourmands~), I’ve forced myself to wear “grown-up” musks even when I really disliked them. So regardless of your tastes, own them and channel them into your fragrance. It's so traditionally feminine and elegant, to the point that I could see myself wearing it on my wedding day (a decision more daunting than the person I'm marrying, TBH). Legit the only downside to the airy, lightweight quality of Rose 31 is that it only lasts a few hours on me—womp—so I always carry a lil 15ml travel size to re-apply throughout the day. If you love roses and fresh-cut flowers, go for a rose perfume and make yourself happy. Love the smell of grass and live for hikes and camping? Look for a scent that’s labeled “earthy.” If your dream is to roll around a field of daisies, then the floral fragrance family is for you. Whether you think you like citrus fragrances, fruity perfumes, or warm vanilla scents, don’t worry about being too obvious—just get one and try it. Decide how intense you want itIf you're even remotely into fragrance, then you've probably heard of Le Labo or smelled one of their trendy perfumes on someone before. The first time I ever smelled a Le Labo perfume (hi, the famous woodsy scent called Santal 33 that's on every " best perfumes" list), it was love at first sniff. But let me tell you: Santal 33 is only one of many phenomenal perfumes on Le Labo's roster. The brand has a tonne of unique scents, including gourmand vanilla perfumes, earthy fragrances, and floral scents that all are all worth trying, IMO. I absolutely love everything about this perfume. It’s inspired by Eden-Roc, an ultra luxe resort in the South of France, and smells like a literal dream. The best way to sum up the vibe? Sunny day on a super yacht drinking Sancerre in between dips in the Mediterranean. You know—everyone’s normal summer, right? Jo Malone’s Orange Blossom was the signature scent of Kate Middleton and Prince William’s wedding at Westminster Abbey, so you know it’s a good one. Clementine flower, white lilac, and vetiver come together to create a fresh floral perfume that’s truly one of a kind.

Cosmopolitan 17 Best Cheap Perfumes of 2023 - Affordable - Cosmopolitan

Some like it sweet, some like floral, some like it warm, and some like it fresh. The first steps to choosing the best cheap perfume for you are to identify your personal taste and know what notes work on your body chemistry. Think about a scent's intensity You know those fragrances that are just so intoxicating you have to walk up to someone and ask what they’re wearing? That’s what happens every time I wear this. The scent itself is a musky, ~sexy~ scent that lingers everywhere you go. Yes, neroli and patchouli are both potent notes on their own, but when paired with the citrusy orange blossom and fruity raspberry in this scent, the combination turns almost tropical, like a candlelit dinner on a yacht in the Bahamas (which, tbh, will be the closest I ever get to that).

Listen, perfumes can be confusing, but as soon as you’ve got the facts, you’ll be able to easily navigate them online. In general, fragrances fall into one of two categories: eau de parfum (EDP) or eau de toilette (EDT). EDPs, aka parfums, are made with a higher concentration of perfume oils, and EDTs, aka toilettes, are made with less. This perfume makes me feel like the best-smelling person on earth. It's truly the Sofia Richie Grainge or " quiet luxury" of perfumes because it smells rich but isn't dripping with gold or throwing logos in your face. Fruity, citrusy, and all-around yummy, this bright fragrance from Ellis Brooklyn feels like a shot of happy energy each time you spritz it. At first, you’ll smell a sweet, light mix of pear, fig, and coconut, which will slowly mellow into a rich musk throughout the day. Truly one of my favorites for year-round wear. In a world where vanilla perfumes, rose fragrances, and the likes of Santal 33 reign supreme, patchouli perfumes are severely slept on, if you ask me. And I’ll be honest: they weren’t really my thing either (I pretty much always want to smell sweet and edible), until I realized that patchouli, which generally smells earthy and musky, doesn’t have to exist on its own as a one-note scent. Once I realized that some of the best perfumes contain patchouli, I learned that patchouli perfumes aren’t just woodsy and heavy—they can also be sweet, floral, and fresh, too. Now, I’ll wax poetic about the versatile powers of patchouli until the end of time.
