Is cheap perfume still a thing?

This I think people complain to HR when others wear scents! I don’t wear any but a dab of oil on your wrist or just a nice smelling shampoo that gives a trace is nice.

One thing I really remember is cheap perfume that you could buy at drug stores--specifically I like "Electric Youth" (Debbie Gibson) "Night Rythem" (I don't know if it was made by Gloria Estefan, but they used her song in the commercials) and "Exclamation."

Speaking of commercials--they don't have them for cheap perfume/cologne anymore--even at Christmas! I remember the Stetson "easy for you" commercials being kind of a staple of the holiday season.


Anyway--are these cheap perfumes popular with tween/early teen girls anymore?

I don't think they make it anymore, but in the late nineties/early 2000s Gap had a fragrance series. They were cheaper than regular perfumes, came in large unadorned bottles and had one-word names. I had one called Grass and I freaking LOVED it. It smelled just like freshly-cut grass, which we can all agree is a very pleasant smell. No hint of sweetness. Just green fresh grass. I would buy like gallons of it if they still made it. I think the other one was called Dirt and I never had a chance to try it.

Oh god, they were both so great!

Poison in the purple bottle or Liz Claiborne. A woman can wear that and I’ll do anything she asks…

57 and still use it. It's light and unobtrusive. And cheap.

I loved Moods by Krizia, and Ralph Lauren’s Safari.

One serious high school boyfriend wore Drakkar Noir; a fling wore Cool Water. Both still smell like sex to me.

People might complain to HR, but the workplace is only 8 hours a day for most people. It’s not going to stop people from wearing scents elsewhere and the perfume industry boomed during the pandemic.
