Best Perfumes Under $100 for Women & Men [2024]

Best perfumes under $100. Within the beauty industry, smelling nice is a generally peddled lifestyle aspiration that is seen and regarded as a serious hustle by many and of which most people heavily invest time and resources on.

This belief is further strengthened by the million-dollar policy supporting the existence and sustenance of design house launching these ostensible perfume brands and the catchy “crème de la crème” marketing slogans and taglines of most luxurious perfume brands.

Within this same industry, cheap is often synonymous with “classless and inferior” and once used often creates a mental picture of those cheap-smelling and alcohol or water-based fragrances that come with less impressive generic scents.

Also, cheap when associated with perfumes brands seem to include a string of other less desirable fragrance qualities such as poor sillage, decreased longevity, synthetic ingredients, and average overall public appeal.

However, it is important to state that you do not really have to spend so much money to smell nice and bask in the feeling that comes with doing so, not only because most of these luxurious perfumes comes in smaller economic bottles but because there is a larger market-concentration on affordable decent perfumes that serve whichever purpose.

In addition, it seems crucial to point out that the idea of what qualifies as an affordable perfume brand or not is ambiguous and is largely hinged on variant (mostly individual) reasons such as budget, available choices, personal evaluation, purpose, ingredients, perfume bottle size, and product attributes.

With this said, what is expensive for some people might not essentially be tagged as expensive for others. However, the emphasis here is not only on price or affordability but also on brand reputation, product quality/value, and established class.

In addition, every perfume brand is targeted at a particular audience or consumer group, especially for perfume brands ranging from $50 to $100 dollars. The big task then becomes to identify the more decent perfume options that fall under this category and offer a matching value not minding the meagre price.

Also, the price a perfume goes for is also heavily connected to the fragrance type, this means that perfume variants like eau de toilette and eau the cologne, usually with lesser ncentration of essential oils, fall under the “mostly affordable” categories.

However, this does not mean that other fragrance types like (eau de parfum and parfum) cannot belong to this category. What happens mostly is that these perfume brands often offer smaller bottle sizes and sample bottles as a market strategy with the aim of getting more consumers onboard.

Affordable perfumes are not always as bad as they are made to appear, and can serve as primary choices for both casual and official occasions. However, the hardest part yet is sifting through thousands of options and settling for the one that works.

This is not a tedious task for the faint-hearted as therefore discourages so many people from settling for such affordable perfumes. Therefore, this detailed review of the best perfumes under $100 works to help you get started.

This list takes a lot of factors that people genuinely look out for when purchasing perfumes, such as fragrance composition, fragrance type, availability, and others. With this said, here is a list of the best perfumes under $100 for women and men.
