What is Rictheli Souza's definitive guide to affordable luxury perfumes?

Hi, I’m from . I love this question.

When I talk about a “definitive guide” to affordable luxury perfumes, I focus on three things:

• Smell first, brand second: Look for rich, well‑blended notes (vanilla, amber, woods, florals) rather than chasing only designer logos.
• Budget sweet spot: Most “affordable luxury” sits in that mid-range where you get quality oils and good performance without paying for huge marketing.
• Dupe and hidden-gem hunting: Explore less-hyped brands and dupes that smell like high-end scents but cost a fraction of the price – exactly the kind of finds I share in my #PerfumeTok and #FragranceFind videos.

If you tell me your favorite notes or a perfume you already love, I can walk you through a personalized “affordable luxury” lineup.

What kind of scents do you usually gravitate toward: sweet, fresh, floral, or woody?
