that is just perfect for you? I don't have a deep collection but I do have about 5 scents that I've collected and continued to use over the years that I enjoy. After reading so much on the forum I recently spent about 40 minutes at a mall's fragrance shop searching for a new scent.
I didn't have any specific scent in mind and as usual my only guide line was to stay away from the normal fare you can buy at Macy's, with the matching jean or hand bag brand names. My request, so that I would stay clear of the "brand name" scent mentality, to the counter-girl was to suggest to me scent's and brands that people don't usually buy from her.
Long story short I chose a cheap EDP on a whim. And I've absolutely fallen in love with it. Everyone from my 82 year old Aunt to my 16 year old niece has given me unsolicited compliments. I was at Restaurant supply depot walking through a walkin cooler the size of walmart and a very attractive older lady stopped me to ask what I was wearing.
I'm not saying this is the best scent, but it really works well for me and I feel incredible when I walk through a room knowing heads turn. Guys have asked me what I'm wearing and when I tell them, they have no idea what I'm talking about because they can't associate it to a name brand.
I'm not a snob, but I'm not one for cheap things either. I'm so surprised that I found something by accident that works so well. The scent is Black Knight Extreme. I'm not trying to advertise it, but I'm sure people will be wondering.
So I'm asking all you aficionado's. How often if ever, do you find a cheap scent that is every bit as worthy as something costing 4 or 5 times if not more? Does the cost of your scent make you feel different? I'll admit that my attitude is affected by my chosen scent and it's cost, however shallow that sounds. That doesn't hold true for me with this new scent. I feel like a fresh mint gold bullion.
I know that not all cheap scents are good but now I'm wondering if I should have given more of them a try rather then basing my judgment on quality from their price tag.
This isn't intended to be a "smash the expensive" type of post, god knows I enjoy my pricey perfum too.
