Best Smelling Perfumes for Her Under $20

Running this website, over the years, I have really come to know how expensive fragrances can get. Actually spending money for a quality perfume isn’t bad, but when you shell out cash, and get a dud…it’s not too fun. However, you don’t always have to break the bank to get a great smelling scent. In fact, there are solid options at a variety of price points. In this post, I am going to present some selections for women, that cost under $20.

What are the Best Perfumes for Women for under $20?

Seeing as I’ve already done a list for the best cheap perfumes. I am going to avoid any overlap with that post and stick to newer picks. However, that post has some more choices, as well as some that go up to the $30 range. 

Always Popular Avon

Avon Far Away Eau de Parfum Spray for Women, 1.7 Fluid Ounce– Far Away has been popular for decades now and as such has probably undergone at least some reformulations. This Revlon cheapie, is a perfume highlighted by jasmine and freesia, that is surrounded by peach and vanilla.

Later, you get smooth sandalwood and a nice amber wrapped around it all. Warm, a very pretty scent, and can often be had for $10 or less.

Hot & Cold

Revlon Fire & Ice Perfume for Women, 1.7 Fl. Oz., womens fragrance– Fire & Ice as the name suggests, plays warm notes off of cool ones, to create a captivating and pleasant experience.

It chills things out with both orange blossom and the fruit itself and then a warm amber and an oriental incense to provide the heat.

Then, there is a great orchid note. All around upbeat and fairly cozy scent that is inexpensive while managing to be delightful.

Tropical Fruity Floral

Mambo by Liz Claiborne for Women, Eau De Parfum Spray, 3.4-Ounce– Mambo uses mango, citrus, and orange blossom to create a fresh and intriguing tropical perfume. It’s a bit crisp, sweet, and fresh with a touch of ginger.

Then, some more floral notes come through including hibiscus and ylang ylang. However, it still is more of a fruity fragrance, and the floral never fully takes over. For $15-20 range, this is a really nice scent, that can serve as a warm weather daily wear.

One of Beyonce’s Best

Beyonce Beyonce Midnight Heat Women Eau De Parfum Spray, 3.4 Ounce– Midnight Heat is one of the most popular fragrances from Beyonce. It has a sweet and somewhat tart plum in the opening, with a juicy starfruit pairing with it.

Those two are the main attractions, but as it dries down more of the orchid, and earthy patchouli make themselves known. It has a tropical fruit edge, with mostly floral undertones.

Sweet White Floral

Antonio Banderas Her Golden Secret EDT Spray for Women, 2.7 Ounce– Her Golden Secret starts off with a fresh and somewhat sweet mix of the fruit notes, along with orange blossom. You get citrus notes and peach, up top, with the orange blossom taking over more and more as it moves along.

Within the first hour of wear, this Antonio Banderas perfume, begins to shift into a white floral with vanilla and citrus undertones. It’s when the gardenia note, really starts popping up. Nice solid performance and is a versatile, great smelling fragrance.

Feminine Gardenia

Kim Kardashian for Women By Kardashian Edp Spray, 3.4 Ounce– This is a fragrance for floral loves, as it is highlighted by gardenia and tuberose. Kim Kardashian for Women, is a very pretty, upbeat, and feminine fragrance. It mostly the white floral notes with a creamy and slightly woody undertone.

At times, you will experience a creamy sandalwood or a bit of musk, but mostly you will get a great floral-based fragrance for really cheap. Beyond the gardenia and tuberose, there is orange blossom, and a good deal of jasmine.

This fragrance is actually beautiful and gives the wearer a long-lasting performance. Definitely a bang for your buck.

Flowerbomb Alternative

One Direction Between Us Eau de Parfum Spray for Women, 1.7 Ounce– Yes, this is a scent from the band One Direction, but it’s actually a great scent that is reminiscent of Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf. Between us features jasmine, nutmeg, and patchouli.

This is paired with sweet amber and vanilla, that envelopes the other notes, during the drydown. Not too heavy of a spice, but it works well with that jasmine.

Floral Musky and Woody

Avon Rare Pearls Eau De Parfum Spray 1.7 Fl. Oz.– Rare Pearls is a spicy and honeyed floral fragrance with a great plum opening, a lot of magnolia, and that thick sweet honey note. The top of the perfume has a pretty intense pepper note, but that calms down a lot, as it wears on.

This one is more of a mature perfume, with a classic composition, and musky undertones during the dry down. It smooth and woody, at the base, with that familiar plum aroma floating around during the wear. Very warm and interesting floral.

Attractive and Seductive

Guess Seductive by Guess 2.5 oz 75 ml EDT Spray– The Guess Seductive line is great for both the men’s and the women’s. The ladies’ version opens up with pear, citrus, and jasmine.

It’s not too sweet but quite pretty at the start, before the vanilla, jasmine, and orange blossom gain strength during the dry down. Finally, you get a musky woods, at the base sitting underneath a creamy vanilla aroma.
