Not long ago, my colleagues and I were discussing what should be considered a luxury perfume. What about affordable perfumes? So what do the “Evening Bells” spirits on the market for 200 rubles mean? Spoiler: Everyone remained with the truth, but unanimously concluded that a twenty thousand ruble perfume is a good whim.
After that, we decided to allocate another figure – how much we are ready to spend on perfumes that we use every day. Here the figure fluctuated from three to ten thousand, but in the end the majority voted for a fairly understandable figure – 5,000 rubles. Unfortunately, after February 2022, most of the brands offering scents worthy of this price tag have left the country, and their replacements are still striving for ten thousand per bottle.
But we did not give up and attracted to this material a person who knows everything and even more about fragrances and is not yet distinguished by snobbery.
You readers, the popular Telegram channel “I Can’t Hear You!” We are happy to introduce the author to Alena Averchenkova.

In my collection there are about 400 fragrances from 1000 rubles to 100 thousand. And I will tell you that not being expensive does not mean bad. The bottle and cap are one of the most expensive components of a perfume’s cost. Of course, it’s beautiful when they’re beautiful. But even with a simpler bottle, you can smell good and delicious.
I bought ten fragrances under 5000 rubles that smell not only for their price, but also for much more (somehow I dare not call it a budget, but let’s leave it).
L’eau Par, Kenzo
One of the best fresh fragrances, where perfumer Olivier Cresp created a light composition with the help of mint. As beautiful as twenty years ago and now.
3599 rubles for 30 ml.
Nature Insolente Maison Matinee
Lots of greens, citrus, elegant flowers and even a few vegetables.
2999 rubles for 50 ml.
Kenzo World, Kenzo
I just want to say “it smells like luxury” about this fragrance. A slightly defiant and brilliant masterpiece from Francis Kurkdzhan familiar to you from the perfume Rouge Baccarat. It sits in a beautiful thick cloud, ideal for winter.
4819 rubles for 30 ml.
Red, Armand Basi
A feminine, light and spring fragrance for those who love watercolor scents.
3186 rubles for 30 ml.
Perfumes Today Tomorrow Anytime, Avon
Almost all perfumes of the series were created by one of the best perfumers of our time – Olivier Cresp. Classic, feminine white flowers in varying degrees of intensity.
From 999 to 2899 rubles.
Brand colognes 4711
Simple and clear combinations of “lime and nutmeg”, “peach and tea”, “ginger and lemon” make these colognes the perfect “springers”. Fresh, light and pleasant fragrances.
From 899 to 1702 rubles.
Away Splendoria, Avon
The combination of sweet white flowers, gardenia and a sweet oud accord was extremely successful, the scent was more gourmet and I’ve already used half the bottle.
1399 rubles for 50 ml.
Collection Eau fraîche, Nikolai
For example, the wonderful cocacola Eau D’Ete or the mojita L’eau Mixte are definitely worth a visit.
4950 rubles for 30 ml.
Ozone, Sergio Tacchini
A blend of fresh citrus and green tea from the nineties.
3155 rubles for 50 ml.

Bare-bodied tuberose by Dominique Ropion sits beautifully and erotically like a second skin.
4992 rubles for 30 ml.
