To me $200 is the max I can go for perfumes.
Family expenditure and savings comes first.

$100-$200 plus is the max I can go for fragrances. I wouldn't consider anything above $250.

$200 is a fair amount for most mainstream fragrance, that was my limit too before I started dabbing with all the non mainstream brands, one after another...

If can last a yr for a bottle is worth lo.

It should last a year if not more, given how many bottles people usually have in total. I doubt I can ever finish them all given the rate I'm buying.

$250 is like less than $1 a day quite worth it wat

Its highly subjective, whats worth to you and for others. As for myself, I buy a bottle of designer perfumes that I like after testing in stores but for niche I need to get a hold of decants to know if I will really like it before deciding if its bottle worthy. Most of the time I stick with decants and move on.

Guys, what's your max budget like for a perfume?

I was with two friends the other day at E.
1 girl, 1 guy.
The girl bought a MFK $355, the guy thinks it's overpriced despite how nice it is.
He wouldn't spend beyond a $100 for a fragrance.
Though he can well afford the $355 but would he rather spend on 3/4 cheaper fragrances at lucky plaza... thoughts?

Creed and Penhaligons prices in UK/EU

I think that's the max i will go.

I was trying out at chanel yesterday the Bleu de Chanel Parfum and until now the smell is so strong.

I really like this and it's $188 for 100ml. How much does it cost for the 150ml,anyone has any idea?

1) And where can I get it cheaper?

I'm pretty New to the fragrant scene.

2) Is tester authentic or any difference from those at chanel boutique?

Some Creed are overrated. I suggest you get decants from carousell to try first than commit a full bottle. There are several clones which are decent and 90% cheaper.
Thanks for suggestion, I prefer these small ones as they r portable n can use in gym after workouts. The only issue is scare how the clones one smell n the company preparing them into bottles.

Oops. Clone as in other brands that smell like Creed, also a decent brand. Not pirated version of Creed.

Eg. GiT smells like cool water.
SMW smells like Al rehab silver.
Aventus smells like CDNIM etc

I have CDNIM, just curious how the real ones really smell like.
The cool water do you meant by davidoff cool water haha?

Yar. It's a rip off from the original GIT but commercially much more successful than GIT. But even now the cool water you can find now is very different from last time's cool water.

The real aventus smells more or less there, you will kick yourself for spending $400 on 1 bottle that can be so easily replicated.

Like that I keep with my Creed clones for $50+ haha.

But I don't mind spend $250 (since someone mentioned can get this price) on real Creed other perfumes that don't have clone yet to see the hype.
