Most of us quite enjoy splurging on fragrances - but if we’re not too careful, we end up going way over budget and spend upwards of 5,000 on a single luxurious brand of perfume! 

Having said that, it is also imperative to realize that if you know where to look, you will stumble across some of the most amazing perfumes that are super affordable.

There is a popular misconception regarding the fact that wearing only the most luxurious and expensive brands can make you feel like a goddess. As we know, wearing the right scent can make you feel like a million bucks, but it’s not always necessary to spend the same amount to buy one! 

While we keep in mind the fact that pricey perfumes of reputable brands come with an inherent sense of trustworthiness in the quality, a lavish budget is not a hard and fast requirement when you are on the hunt for the perfect fragrance. 

Thankfully though, there are a few rare scents that do not poke a hole through your wallet, and also help you feel like your best selves. Read on to find out some of the perfumes that have been cherry-picked for their undulating fragrances for women, all of which cost less than Rs. 1,000!
