Fragrances can get expensive, especially as you start exploring the niche fragrance houses. 

Prices can range anywhere from $100 up to $1000+ depending on the House and different elements of the fragrance.

It can be easy to get swept up in what’s trending or popular, but it shouldn’t be the end-all-be-all of your choices. Just because something is popular, doesn’t mean you’re going to love it. It’s important to find fragrances that you love, not necessarily what the masses love.

It is possible to find niche fragrance without breaking the bank. Unfortunately, oftentimes the big names come with big price tags. 

Some stores will have multiple size options, with the smallest size being the least expensive, or varying strength options, with the least strong being the least expensive.

At Parfumerie Nasreen, you can find a selection of fragrances that range from(at the time of this writing) $40-1000. 

Fragrances under $100

Christian Siriano - This collection is mostly feminine in style and uses sweeter notes across the collection. It ranges from $89-120.

Alfred Sung - This collection is an older house, adding fragrances to their fashion lines in the late 1980’s. At Parfumerie Nasreen we carry the Sung Homme($68), a sweet and spicy aquatic scent, and Sung Femme($40-69), a bright and sunny floral scent.

Cacharel - This collection is also an older house, adding fragrances to their fashion lines in the late 1970’s. We carry the Noa($70-85), a bright, fresh, and soft floral scent, Anais Anais L’Original($70-85), a bombastic floral fragrance, and Cacharel Pour L’Homme($100), a woody and aromatic fragrance.

Fragrances under $200

Giardino Benessere - This house was created by the brother/sister duo behind Tiziana Terenzi. Inspired by nature and internal well-being, this collection tones it down from the bright and potent fruity and citrusy blends of Tiziana Terenzi. While the Extrait fragrances are just under $300, the Eau de Parfum collection is $135.

Tumi - These fragrances are an extension of the well-known luggage and travel brand. The fragrances were introduced in 2020 and are all inspired by different times of day you might travel, ranging from sweet and clean to warm and Leathery. Being a travel brand, they have an array of sets that the fragrances come in. Everything rances from $135-175.

Caswell-Massey - This collection is one of the oldest American fragrance houses, beginning as a pharmacy. Most of the fragrances are on the lighter/cleaner side with single note vibes. They range from $60-200 in varying sizes.

Lalique - This collection began with roots in jewelry, crystal, and glass. After veering into the art of making perfume bottles for other fragrance houses, Lalique began creating their own scents in the 1990’s. The company releases annual limited edition bottles, but their signature fragrances can be found in beautiful bottles as well. These fragrances range from $135-175.

Jean Paul Gaultier - This is another fashion house that began adding fragrances into the repertoire in the 1990’s. At Parfumerie Nasreen you can find the original Le Male for men($115-160), a warm and sweet scent that has garnered a refreshed popularity thanks to social media trends, and Classique for women($20-150), a sultry floral scent with notes of Orange Blossom and Tuberose.

There are also many other oldies-but-goodies scents that range from $70-86, up to $150….and then the expected range that can go much, much higher.

Other options are to check out Discovery Sets, which are usually 2ml samples of multiple scents from one fragrance house.

Some places also have the option to purchase individual samples or travel atomizers of varying sizes between 2ml and 30ml(1oz).
