In the 19th century, a man of fashion and pleasure would invariably spend his time in the company in the best of what money could buy: clothing, food, gambling, carriages and horses. Of course, he spent his company and money on the most elegant, beautiful, opulent and sensuous courtesans.
Then, of course, there was the commonplace gal: cheap and sometimes surprisingly enjoyable and fun.
By metaphor, I have spent a pretty penny on some scents in my time: exclusive Guerlains, Chanel parfums, Creeds, and others. Rare and hard to find. (I am not slavish to these houses, but I am partial to Guerlain.
)
Today, I tried something of the drugstore variety by Parfums de Coeur, makers of some rather good, inexpensive smell-alike fragrances. No doubt marketed to cash in on the wave of movies, books and television shows on vampires. It sells for $15.00 and it is quite a bit of a cheap thrill. I actually liked this and bought two bottles of the 30 ml. I had some relatives even ask about it.
Vampire is an interesting gourmand in the line of Hypnotic Poison, Delices de Cartier or even Mugler's Angel. Notes of sweet vanilla, chocolate, fruits and florals. The basenote ends with a light fruit/floral. Good for the beach and after the gym shower
This is cheap, inexpensive fun fragrance.
(They also make a nice line of bath and body toiletries I have several of their body washes and lotions, which are great for the summer.)

Does anyone have any other inexpensive, enjoyable products to share or comments? Sometimes the "bath/body" lines are nice and wallet friendly.
