I am not so fond of expensive stuff so whenever i see those expensive perfumes at the mall, i always think that those are something that i would not buy just because i like to. They are very expensive for me but i do know that they are worth it. it is expensive because it really does smell good. However it is a sure luxury and not a necessity. i guess even i am a very choosy shopper, i feel lucky because i don't need to buy so many expensive stuff nor felt the need to buy them...mostly because i get them as gifts from my siblings. i have lots of expensive perfume at home because my mother and sister love buying them and they gave me some as gifts.

I request a nice perfume every couple of yrs. But I do use them sparingly for special occasions, so you figure a bottle will last me up to 5yrs+. I usually just use body sprays when I go to work, and nothing at all when I'm not working.

I dont have any expensive perfume. I have a lot of other things to spend money on and perfume really isnt on my short list. I usualy have a few things of scented lotion or body spray if I feel like I want to smell nice.

Hi there misshoney!
Few years back, I would spend a fortune on expensive perfumes. But later on, I realized that my friends and relatives are fond of giving expensive perfumes as gifts. In fact, they gave me perfumes even if they knew I can afford to buy them on my own. So, from then on, I stopped buying expensive perfumes. I want to save more money. Good thing people still give them to me as gifts.

I do not buy expensive perfumes. I love Lucky 7 and it's pretty cheap. I actually usually don't buy any for myself. Usually at Christmas time I'm running low and it's one thing my boyfriend always buys for me because he knows. He gets me the gift set with a big and small bottle, body wash and lotion. The 2 bottles last me all year and it's not expensive at all!

I really don't buy expensive perfumes at this point in time. In a few months, I would definetly love to though. I use a lot of the body sparays. They're really inexpensive. There is this berry scented one that walmart carries, and it smells really good. I need to go buy it when I get a chance. But, eveyone wants to smell good. And I say if you're going to wear perfume or cologone, buy the expensive stuff. When someone has on a cheap perfume, you can always tell.

What you are paying for with the expensive perfume is the packaging and pretty bottle. All the stuff that does not matter because you want it for the smell. You can get the exact same scent at the discount perfume places because the scent is not copyrighted. So, you are only paying for what you want -- the pretty smell.

I don't buy expensive perfumes, but I do love the smell of most of them. I have more important things to be spending my money on. I actually don't buy perfume that often at all. The last bottle I bought was from Avon and it was like $12. I thought that was alot, but I know the real good ones you get in the department store are over$50! I wouldn't mind getting a gift from your mom or sister:)

I dont have the money to buy expensive perfumes and even if i did I wouldnt buy it. I think perfume is alittle bit outdated. I would only wear it maybe to an expensive party or restaurant or something like that. It is too expensive to waste. I have gotten some colognes as gifts but no expensive pefumes.
