9 Affordable Fragrances That Smell Ridiculously Expensive

You know the moment when you step out of the shower and just smell clean? Philosophy's bottled that feeling to create its soft, floral cult-favorite fragrance. It has notes of bergamont, muguet blossoms, and musk. 

This little rollerball is the next best thing to paid time off. With notes of milky coconut, warm vanilla, and sweet caramel, rolling the tropical fragrance on both of your wrists throughout the day almost makes you forget you're sitting at your desk. 

Warm and spicy, Nest's fragrance is your ideal scent if you love florals that aren't too sweet. 

Who would have thought that primrose goes just as well with rye as bitters do? Jo Malone's unique fragrance combines the floral and grass notes with corn silk and vanilla. 

Gourmands and vanilla are two notes that have been used in fragrances for so long they could be considered vintage, but somehow the combination smells fresh in this Pinrose fragrance. If you're a fan of warm and spicy scents that can be worn whether you're in the middle of a polar vortex or a heatwave, this bottle is for you. 

This solid perfume may be less than $20, but you'd never know based on how expensive it smells. It has a rich, smoky, woodsy scent thanks to a blend of pencil shavings and incense. Bonus: It comes in balm form, so it's never going to spill or leak in your bag. 

One-half of Elizabeth & James' first fragrances, Black remains a consistent fan favorite. The spicy vanilla scent has just a hint of violet to round it out. 

Heavy on base notes so that its scent doesn't change as it dries down, Glossier's You is designed to smell like well, you. The fragrance has a mix of ambrette, musk, and ambrox that melt with your skin's natural smell. 

A classic fruity fragrance, Maison Louis Marie's roll-on oil has notes of cassis, white rose, tonka, and a dash of black pepper.
