00:00 Cheap vs Expensive Colognes Introduction
You always want to spend your money wisely. But doing so is especially important when buying fragrances because they are perishable, finite goods that you exhaust with use.
00:50 Cheap vs. Expensive, Price vs. Value
Obviously, what separates cheap from expensive is a relative question that depends upon your financial situation.
For our purposes, we are defining cheap as under $50 for a 100 mL or 3.4 ounces bottle and expensive as over $150 for the same.
There is an important difference between price and value. Poor value can occur when an expensive item just doesn’t live up to the hype while good value can be found in expensive items that exceed expectations.
04:24 Ingredients
Ingredients used and scents selected for fragrances are very cost-dependent. Expensive fragrances tend to be more robust and complex. Cheap fragrances tend to be potent and simplistic.
05:35 Scents
Because expensive fragrances are more likely to source and properly employ exotic and rare ingredients, they result in more unusual, unexpected scents. Cheap fragrances, on the other hand, usually want to make as much money as quickly as possible.
06:50 Scent Combinations
Expensive fragrances draw from a wide array of scent families to create a cohesive, thought-out whole. To save money and effort, cheaper fragrances tend to rely on fewer scents generally.
08:19 Notes
Expensive fragrances tend to have all the notes that develop naturally in a subtle, pleasing way. For a more simplified, and therefore easier to attain, experience, cheap fragrances often only have top or heart notes.
09:48 Scent Durations
Expensive fragrances tend to have carefully crafted, high concentrations that provide a bold but not overwhelming immediate presence and a long-lasting, durable presence. Most cheap fragrances have lower concentrations and tend to fade very quickly.
11:10 Shelf Life
Expensive fragrances are reinforced with additional fixatives that help maintain their potency for several years. Because these fixatives represent an additional cost, cheap fragrances often forgo this step.
11:45 Application
Because of the agents that keep them stable, expensive fragrances will wear consistently. Because they often lack fixatives, cheap fragrances are more affected by temperature, humidity, the season, and the age of the fragrance.
12:16 Alcohol Concentration
Because they have a higher concentration of aromatic compounds, like oils, expensive fragrances have less alcohol. Cheap fragrances tend to have a much higher percentage of alcohol because it improves fragrance duration.
13:00 Conclusion
Ultimately, the right fragrance depends on your particular needs. If you prefer a simpler, less complicated fragrance profile, cheap fragrances could very well be for you but we do feel that, as is so often the case, it will pay to invest in a quality fragrance with versatility, quality, and depth.
