Top 3 Non-LuxeryPerfumes

I was always skeptical when it came to lower end perfumes and celebrity scents. I pictured them smelling like those uni-shaped multi-colored bottled perfume collections that you find at the counter of your local pharmacy, the ones that always smell like a combination of deoderent and grandma perfume.

However, I was all wrong. Now I know that you don't have to pay a fortune to smell like luxery. Celebrities and  clothing brands such as playboy and Nike have worked very hard to create scents that are worth the purchase. I think it's because people already have the belief that celebrity scents are just gimicky ways to promote themselves, so many stars have worked extra hard to break through that notion.

Their hard work has paid off, and I'm grateful for it. Apart from my eternal signature scent(Insolence by Guerlain), I now ONLY buy a couple of lower-end scents to complement an even mix with my signature so as to create an unforgettable aura!

Here are my top three Lower-end Scents

1. Play it Rock by Playboy. I do not endorse the bunny ears, because of their cheap hoe-bag connotation, so naturally I assumed their scents would be just the same. WRONG! This scent is amazing, fresh, powerful and unique. It is a summer and winter scent. I'm not going to read you the undertones and overtones, because that stuff never makes sense. It smells like vanilla warmth and orange soda with a touch of lipstick(yes, lipstick has a scent!). It is 100% mixable with Guerlain's Insolence and even amps up the scent. The vanilla warmth makes it cozy and wintery, but the orange pop makes it perfect for a summer's eve. It smells even better as you sweat it out throughout the day. And the deodorant that comes with it in some box sets is to die for, it's even better than the perfume itself. It retails in supermarkets and department stores for about 14 euros and the box set which either come with pretty good headphones or the delicious deodorant is only around 24 euro. So worth it!

2. S by Shakira. This is a beautiful scent, that just like Play it Rock, I have re-purchased several times. It smells like warm vanilla and feminine luxury. It's a summer scent which reminds me of warm tanned skin, baked bronzers and golden lip gloss. It is mixable with Dior Addict and amplifies it's vanilla undertone. The scent retails for 14 euros and comes with a cute golden bracelet.

3. Taylor by Taylor Swift. This scent is very hard to describe, however what I can say about it is that it definitely took me by surprise! I expected Taylor, being an all-american beauty, to make a scent reminiscent of Tommy Girl or something florally like Estée Lauder Pleasures. However she created a scent that is mysterious, memorable and also quite powerful. The scent opens with a summery, tangy fruitiness and is said to have notes such as lychee, tangerine and apricot, which it definitely does. However after you spray it, it pulls you back in with musk, vanilla and sandalwood, with a little bit of florally orchid. So the feel of the scent is tangy fruit and woody memorabilia. It is definitely unique and worth a try. The scent retails for 20$/15 euro.
