If you’re ready to upgrade your scent game for cheap, these 10 picks deliver just what you need.
1. Oud Touch
Corals Collectionz
₦2,500 (25ml)
Oud Touch is dark, smooth, and unexpectedly good. It opens with fruity notes like raspberry and orange, but don't be fooled—the real magic is in the dry down. Rich oud, smoky incense, rose, and patchouli create a deep, velvety finish that feels far more expensive than it is.
It lasts a good while and gives off like a niche scent, making it perfect for nights out or signature wear. If you like bold, mysterious fragrances with presence, Oud Touch is a top-tier pick under ₦10,000.
2. Caribbean Vanilla
Sellers Mart
₦5,375
Caribbean Vanilla is the perfume version of dessert on vacation. This sweet, creamy scent starts with a heavy dose of warm and inviting vanilla. But it’s not just that, layers of musk, fruity hints like watermelon, and touches of caramel make it feel playful yet elegant.
Some versions add florals like jasmine and violet or a woody undertone, making it last a while. It gives the soft luxury associated with niche perfumes, but for way less.
3. Emergency EDP
Konga
₦7,500
Emergency is a safe scent that still grabs attention. It starts bright with citrus and softens into floral middle notes like jasmine and peony. But what gives it lasting power is the warm base of amber and sandalwood, which feels expensive without overpowering.
It balances freshness and depth so well that it can easily be mistaken for a high-end designer scent. A great unisex option that suits both day and night.
4. Matador
Slique’s Beauty
₦4,000
Matador's peppery, citrusy top notes and spicy heart of ginger and nutmeg make this scent bold from the start. Then come the base notes: sandalwood, patchouli, amber, and musk, giving it a warm, almost smoky finish.
It evolves throughout the day, which is usually only possible with premium perfumes. It is perfect for people who like their scents daring, complex, and long-lasting.
5. Hayaati by Lattafa
TOS Nigeria
₦6,175 (50ml)
Hayaati is where spice, smoke, and warmth come together. It opens with nutmeg and pink pepper, giving it a sharp smell, then relaxes into woody incense and labdanum. The base of amber and musk gives it that luxurious softness that clings to the skin for hours. If you like your perfume to smell unusual, this one performs way above its price point.
6. French Coffee
TOS Nigeria
₦6,175 (50ml)
French Coffee smells like a Parisian café in a bottle. The coffee note is rich and authentic, rounded out with cream, vanilla, and a hint of caramel. It’s a warm, cosy scent that still manages to feel upscale. Unlike many coffee-based perfumes that fade quickly or lean towards being too sweet, this one sticks around.
7. Berries Weekend
Jumia
₦6,800
This one’s for lovers of fruity-floral blends that still feel classy. Berries Weekend bursts open with strawberry, raspberry, and blueberry, balanced by soft floral notes like jasmine and peony. It finishes on a creamy vanilla and musk base, which is pleasurable. This scent is often compared to high-end fruity perfumes, but keeps things light and wearable all day. It's sweet without feeling too childish.
8. Genie’s Secret Bombshell Eau de Parfum
Blossom Perfumes
₦2,500 (25ml)
Genie’s Secret Bombshell is flirty, bright, and familiar. It starts as juicy and energetic with top notes of tangerine and apple. Then jasmine and soft, sweet notes take over, adding just the right amount of femininity. A base of vanilla and musk rounds it out, giving a smooth finish. It’s an affordable dupe for more expensive floral-sweet perfumes and lasts surprisingly long for the price.
9. Oud Vanille
Coral Collectionz
₦2000 (25ml)
Oud Vanille is more sensual, warm, and sweet, wrapped in amber and spice. It begins with creamy vanilla and woody oud notes, quickly joined by soft florals and a hint of caramel. The result is a perfectly blended gourmand oud that smells inviting and sophisticated.
It’s an ideal cold-weather or date night fragrance that lingers beautifully without being too overwhelming. This is the one if you want to smell like soft elegance with a bold twist.
Quick Tip: Try layering a few or pairing them with scented body oils to boost their presence even more. You deserve to smell like money, no matter the price.
