The list of top selling women’s perfumes may change each year, but does this mean that you should ditch your previous year’s supply just to get the new popular brands. Of course, trends change and perfumes that were bestsellers a few years ago may not necessarily be among the favorites this year. But that doesn’t mean that you should change your personal preferences as well. If you have a perfume that you really love, there is no reason why you shouldn’t keep using it even if it is not in the current list of top selling women’s perfumes.

However, it is still interesting to see which fragrances constantly make it as one of the top selling women’s perfumes. Some of the favorites are new products while others are classics that have been around for decades. For instance, Chanel No 5 by Christian Dior has always been among the best-selling fragrances for women for several years now. This is one of the best examples of classic fragrances that women of all ages love, no matter what the season or the occasion.

If you are looking for a new scent to add to your collection, it would certainly be a good idea to choose from among the top selling women’s perfumes of today. The choices are plentiful and you can easily find a fragrance that you like and that you can wear for different purposes.

The only problem that many women have with these popular designer perfumes is the price tag. It is undeniable that most of these perfume bestsellers cost more than what the average woman can actually afford. Fortunately, there are a few strategies you can follow in order to get these fragrances at greatly discounted prices.

Where Can You Buy Discount Fragrances?

Discount perfume stores are among the best places you can visit if you want to buy top selling women’s perfumes at a tight budget. You can find such stores in certain malls in your area or on the Internet. Online shopping can definitely open a lot of doors for you when it comes to looking for low-cost but high-quality perfumes.

Shopping for your perfumes online does have several advantages. First of all, it is very fast and very convenient. You will also have dozens upon dozens of perfume brands to choose from. All you have to do is make a selection, send the payment online and wait for the package to arrive at your doorstep. The only disadvantage is that you won’t get to try the perfumes before buying them. But if you consider the great discounts you can enjoy, this is really not a problem. If you don’t like it, you can always give it as a gift to the important women in your life.

Stetson

Admittedly, Stetson is not a women’s perfume, but it could be. Though the well-known drugstore cologne is made for men, the bold fragrance blend of lavender, lemon, bergamot, jasmine, tonka, sandalwood and patchouli make it a great candidate for a deep and permeating feminine scent.

For less than $10 a bottle, it’s both refreshing, but also deep – offering up vanilla tones and lemon high notes with every inhale. However, it doesn’t remain for long. Like many cheap perfumes, this one only lasts about 30 minutes on skin, though the smell will linger when sprayed on clothing.

Maurer & Wirtz Tabac Original Fragrance

In 1938, Tabac soap was first made. The product was so successful that its German manufacturers started making the Tabac Original Soap in 1955. Today, Tabac Original is still sold on European and North American drug store shelves and for under $20 a bottle, it’s definitely a discount fragrance.

Despite its low cost and poor packaging, Tabac is a scent that both lingers and changes. The first notes are bold with scents of lavender, sandalwood, carnation, oak wood, bergamot and black pepper. And yet, it’s still clean and fresh. That may be the aldehydes coming through. And though it’s a discount brand, Tabac wins top points for being long-lasting. The fragrance will stay for hours, lingering as a touch of cloves and vanilla musk.

Avon’s Soft Touch Perfume

It may only cost $15 a bottle, but Soft Touch by Avon is an incredibly long-lasting perfume that’s both innocent and fresh at the same time. While so many scents that came out in this mid-nineties era of soft pink discount women’s perfume simply reeked of baby powder and mineral oil, Soft Touch has floral undertones and somehow, a splash of sophistication. Surprisingly, it’s also long-lasting.

Philosophy Cosmetic’s Amazing Grace

At only $25 a bottle, Amazing Grace is a steal. The product was launched by Philosophy cosmetics and was so popular, it quickly expanded into a whole line of body washes, powders, creams and more. Customers couldn’t get enough of this beautiful scent, and for good reason.

Amazing Grace smells clean, which is probably the best way to describe it. It doesn’t smell like rubbing alcohol or bleach clean, just clean – like fresh sheets. The notes are there, but they’re never overpowering, making this a wonderful discount women’s perfume for everyday wear.

Tip #1 – Choosing The Perfect Women’s Perfumes Eau de Toilette And Fragrances. Going to work…or going to a formal engagement? Are you young and experimental or mature and established? There’s always a woman’s fragrance that matches your skin chemistry, your outfit, the occasion and even your mood.

* Top Notes. Women’s fragrances combine scent chemistry into three distinct perfume “notes”…the top note scent is the 1st impression scent which often includes light, sharp or sweet essences such as ylang-ylang, neroli and aldehydes found in one of the first modern-era perfumes, Chanel No.5. When the top notes melt away after the first hour or so, the middle notes and bass notes dominate the scent structure.

* Middle Notes. While international favorite Chanel No.5 uses ylang-ylang in its top note, slightly “heavier” women’s perfumes like Angel by Thiery Mugler incorporate ylang-ylang into the middle note structure, along with jasmine, white gardenia (think Billy Holiday), magnolia and Moroccan rose.

* Bass Notes. For all the exotic and sophisticated impression created by the middle and top notes, the top women’s perfumes balance their entire scent strategy upon the strength, and complexity, of the bass notes or scent foundation. Strength…lasting scent and potency over 3 to 9 hours…all can evolve from the perfume foundation bass notes such as vetiver, amber, musk, sandalwood, vanilla and occasionally light derivatives from the men’s fragrance world including rosewood, tonka bean.

Tip #2 – Selecting Masculine Men’s Fragrances For Complexity, Earthiness, Tang. Men’s fragrance, cologne and even full bodied perfumes are known to be earthy, dark…evoking masculine strength and staying power. But what do you look for?

* Avoid Light, Fruity Feminine Scents. First clue is to avoid the sweet, flowery essences. Instead, look for men’s fragrance that carries solid bass notes such as Chanel Egoiste, the 2006 award winner for men, offering a rich warm subdued bass note blend of vanilla, sandalwood and rosewood in a subtle wood-Oriental. Or, take a deeper step into the masculine scent world with a mix of bass notes of tobacco, capiscum, nutmeg, pepper, tonka bean…supporting middle notes of vetiver and cedar…and then throw in a splash of top note bergamot, lemon, coriander and neroli as designed into Vetiver by Guerlain.

Tip #3 – Re-Discover The Old Tested ‘Favorite’ Perfumes Plus New Scents. Older established brands continue to “rock”…offering mood-altering sensuality, variations on strength and intensity as you move between full-bodies perfume and the lighter eau de toilettes. One-time hits…frilly youth-market perfumes…rarely survive the ‘long haul’ of brand building which the established perfume and fashion houses can best handle.

Tip #4 – Online Versus Department Store. If you don’t know or haven’t worn a particular fragrance, then you must try it on..live, in a store.

* Sample Selectively. Make sure never to try more than three perfumes during a shopping visit. Your nose will give-up, leaving you unable to distinguish the scents clearly.

* Consult Your Fragrance Sales Clerk. Also, remember that what you initially smell…namely the top notes…is the first part of the perfume that dissolves due to the normal ‘lifting’ of perfume by the air around you. So, to determine strength as well as the core scent of any perfume, you need to ask your sales clerk about each brand…what are its middle notes and bass notes…its strength measured in hours. And also describe how you intend to “normally” wear your perfume…on-the-job fragrances are not the same as formal night wear perfumes.

* The Online Re-Order Strategy. Once you know your favorite brands, then you’re set to search the Internet for the best perfume prices, seasonal sell downs, inventory clearances. Go to industry awards sites and learn about the most popular, most exotic award winning fragrances, perfumes and men’s colognes too.

Fragrance Bottom Line. With women’s perfume and men’s fragrances, you get what you pay for. There’s a world of subtle, mood altering and sensuous fragrances that can lift your sprit, complement your style, and increase your life’s romance.
