Not all affordable perfumes are fruity and sugary. If you're looking to upgrade your everyday scent, you might want to check out these colognes and perfumes with fresh and refined notes.
1. Avon Far Away Glamour
P899, available on avonshop.ph
This dark-bottled fragrance is great for the office just as it is for special occasions. The base of this perfume is seductive black musk but it's softened with floral notes of orange blossom. One spritz leaves you smelling mature and so refined.
2. Marks & Spencer Autograph Blush
Price available upon request, available in Marks and Spencer stores
For a light feminine scent, you'll love stashing this miniature bottle in your work bag. A single spritz leaves a fresh fruity-floral trail of bergamot, cassis, and violet, but it gracefully mellows down into a sheer, powdery finish. Its base notes are amber, vanilla, and musk.
