Are people that knowledgeable about perfumes that they can identify an expensive one?

...men i presume would just go by what smells nice....





...but would women [being more appreciative of/or suckered by status] be more impressed by a man wearing an expensive scent.





and also...are ALL expensive perfumes necessarily better than less expensive ones..or is it all a matter of personal preference?Are people that knowledgeable about perfumes that they can identify an expensive one?
I agree with foosie. Personal preference is also how I select my colognes.

It depends. Some of the more expensive ones don't always smell good to me. Like Michael Kors cologne. It's way too strong for my tastes...pungent even. On the other hand Iceberg Twice doesn't cost much at all and it smells great. Still, it all comes down to personal preference.Are people that knowledgeable about perfumes that they can identify an expensive one?
personal preference.. is the way i go... and i have ended up..with one expensive and one not so much
i can recognise the two, Esta Lauda youth dew and white linin, both are quite nice
I'm a man and I can determine expensive perfumes by smell. Expensive perfumes and colognes use higher quality ingredients, last longer and have more subtle smells.


And any guy that thinks girls like it when they hose themselves down with Axe probably doesn't have any honest female friends.
You can definitely tell the difference between an expensive perfume and cheap shi+ in most cases.


Cheap stuff really stinks and gets up your nose and is very overbearing in most cases. If you are going to buy good perfume get some that's on special.





For men its different I reckon - most cheaper stuff like Adidas for men etc smell great
Yes stuff like Dior, Lancome, Gucci, Burberry, YSL have distinct smells and have lasting aromas. They are also very light and very classy. Cheap ones are just cheap. Anyone can know that in time
Catweazl,


You can tell the difference, cheap perfumes are overwhelming in bouquet and good quality perfumes are just down right adorable in every way. They are refreshing, stimulating and oh so lovely to the senses.

i can identify an expensive one. i can't explain but it smells different all the time. probably because they have natural ingredients. better not wear if you can't buy an expensive one. just use a deodorant.
yes, Ｉ am.





especially, ＨＥＲＭＥＳ%26amp;Ｇｕｅｒｌａｉｎ.
I am not the materialistic type at all, however I can smell I good perfume from a cheap perfume. I think most women can. At least the ones who are semi-cultured. Certain cheap things you can get away with (some clothes, household items, decor, cleaning products), but toiletries should be purchased based on quality. Cologne, makeup, hair products, lotions, and soaps. I mean, you can use the cheaper ones but it's the small things like that reveal good taste. Like, you can wear a $10 oufit from Target, but if you have great shoes and a handbag, you'll look like a million bucks. Or if you are going to choose cheap framed artwork for your walls, then you better have a good, strong, quality coffee table!


Back to your question, though....cheap cologne definately has a certain odor to it...sure some smell good, but it has underlying notes that scream GARBAGE!~


Hope you take my advice...!
