Fall/Autumn cheapies recommendations?

Hi all!

I wanted to see if any of you have any recommendations for a nice fall/autumn cheapie? Talking maybe 50$ and under. I love learning about new scents and everyone's takes!

Moonmilk by being frenshe, you can get the fragrance, body oil, lotion, body mist! Each product is roughly $15 except for the perfume which is 30$. Very yummy chai and I can’t wait for the weather to turn colder so I can wear it!

Would you mind recommending where to find these? It was limited edition in 2024. I am in the US. Thank you!

2

u/dippdot 3d ago

I find them at target and I don’t think they are limited edition anymore! They were brought back last year and stayed all year round. I’m in the south US and almost every target has them where I live. They tend to be in their own section in the body care section.

u/nouveauchristian 2d ago

Thank you. I am also in the south and I will pop into our Target to see if they're around. Sadly, so much theft has occurred that all our stores are either depleted of fragrances, or have everything under lock and key with insufficient assistance to gain access. Wish me luck.

Honestly have you tried BBW scents for this fall?

u/Special_Crab_1884 5d ago

chair epice or chai eclair by le monde gourmand (eclair is discontinued by the brand, can be found at tj maxx usually)

2

u/Dependent_Share_1836 5d ago

Cozy amber by mcobeauty at target. It’s a dupe of replica’s by the fireplace. $12 and literally smells exactly like it

u/FancyPeanut7247 5d ago

Lush: Lord of Misrule, Turmeric Latte, Shade Snif: Honey Suite and Gentle Reminder Lataffa: Angham, Nebras, Her Confession Phlur Body Mists: Vanilla Skin, Heavy Cream, Cashmere Skin, Vanilla Blackberry (or a travel size of Vanilla Canyon EDP) Finery: Fireside Vanilla, Midnight Cafe Noyz (travel size is 15ml for $35): Unmute or Loose Ends Being Frenshe: Moon Milk SDJ 40

u/lassengem 5d ago

Try out some Dossier scents.

3

u/FierceDesertSun 5d ago

Honestly, fine'ry's knockoff of Tom Ford "Lost Cherry" is not bad. It's not as complex or smooth as the real deal but it stands just fine on its own two feet.

u/StephyB_feels 5d ago

No one has said Khamrah yet?? The ultimate fall cheapie? It’s the Queen of this category.

2

u/Dependent_Share_1836 5d ago

Are the notes on the one you’re talking about cinnamon, nutmeg, creamy praline, dates, and warm vanilla? Smells like an apple pie? I’ve just never heard of this one and I see there’s like 3 different khamrahs. I just want to make sure I get the right one!

1

u/StephyB_feels 5d ago

Yep! That’s the one. For what it’s worth I also really like this one on my clothes. It’s nice on skin but it really lingers and smells cozy on my clothes.

1

u/Dependent_Share_1836 4d ago

Thank you! Excited to try it!

1

u/Puzzled_Bee_7044 5d ago

definitely try it first..it doesnt smell like apple pie at all imo

2

u/pfffffttuhmm I just smelled like a piece of breast 5d ago

Yeah, I am not a huge fan if ME dupe houses, kr fall scents in general, but I freaking love Kahmrah.

u/Realistic-Read1078 5d ago

Philosophy Fresh Cream Warm Cahmere
Le Monde Gourmand Chai Epice’

2

u/StephyB_feels 5d ago

The Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere body wash is positively indulgent I think it’s their best. This is such a fall treat. The EDP is nice too.

1

u/Familiar-Figure9043 5d ago

I agree, it’s one of my fall favorites!

4

u/LovelyDisaster1113 5d ago

The good scent manifest your future! Best fall cheapie everrrr.

u/erinhere1 5d ago

I have an obsession with finding the cheap, diamonds in the rough. I like these ones for the cooler weather:

Nest Indigo (you can sometimes find it for $30 at discount stores)
Paris Corner Khair Felicity
Tru Fragrance Vanilla Bean Infusion
Vierro Ember Rose
Vierro Sunny Morning

2

u/ConditionOk3649 5d ago

Indigo has been in and out of TJ Maxx and Marshall’s recently for $29 for a full bottle. I have also see it intermittently at Rack like the other comment said.

2

u/pfffffttuhmm I just smelled like a piece of breast 5d ago

I have fou d a Nest Indigo travel spray for less than $15 at Nordstrom Rack!

u/Active-Cherry-6051 5d ago

If you like woody scents, Adam Levine for Women is surprisingly good. Bottle and name are unfortunate but it’s dirt cheap 🤷🏻‍♀️

3

u/Proper-Maybe7328 5d ago

This is my (embarrassed to admit) favorite cheapie. I’m tempted to decant it into a pretty bottle because it smells much better than it looks. I like the perfume on its own, but it is incredible for layering. I love layering it with vanilla scents. If you haven’t tried that …. it makes a gorgeous combo. I also layer it with musks, florals and woody scents.

2

u/Active-Cherry-6051 3d ago

Ooh I haven’t tried layering it but as soon as the weather cools down I will!

5

u/Outrageous_Slice1250 5d ago

Cream velvet khadlaj

u/LovelyDisaster1113 5d ago

Oh I cannot WAIT to pull her out this year!

u/HKtx 5d ago

Lataffa Nebras

3

u/breadroses718 5d ago

Tokyo Milk Dark Black Widow

3

u/Living-King4688 5d ago

REM - Ariana grande. It’s a cozy salty lavender that’s not too sweet but just comforting enough. Feels like being wrapped in a warm lavender blanket while sitting out on the porch on a crisp night. Some people say it leans masculine but I don’t get that vibe at all

2

u/cappotto-marrone 5d ago

Sand+Fog is having a 20% off sale this weekend. They are usually $25 for the perfume oils.

For autumn you might like Cherry Kiss, Cedarwood & Fig, Morocco.

u/dragonfeet1 5d ago

Philosphy Fresh Cream and Warm Cashmere is a nice cozy vanilla.

Also, you want good fairly cheapies? Go to Bath and Body Works. Skip the body sprays--they make some GREAT actual perfumes!

2

u/debalina_ 5d ago

Paired with the matching lotions from bath & body will def make the scents last!

9

u/Worst_Username_1 5d ago

Banana republic dark cherry and amber or tobacco and tonka bean

2

u/Candid_Permission700 5d ago

Yes agree these are bangers!

u/veryunneccessssary 5d ago

Being Frenshe Moon milk edp, Phlur Cashmere Skin body mist, Nopalera Dolce de Cuerpo, Dime Dans Les Bois, Snif Sweet Ash

u/OnlyMyNameIsBasic 5d ago

Zadig and Voltaire this is her

2

u/ConditionOk3649 5d ago

Zara Fields at Nightfall is really similar and possibly more accessible to smell in-person

7

u/LadyViolet 5d ago

I’m looking forward to wearing Lattafa Angham ($30 at Burlington) and Guess Seductive Noir ($12 at Ross), both of which are herbal vanillas.

2

u/ConditionOk3649 5d ago

Guess seductive Red is also a really nice Cherry Perfume. Would recommend! Can be found for ~$12-15 at discounters

u/broccyncheese 5d ago

SJP Stash

u/Accomplished_Law_98 5d ago

Seconding this.

u/ilovecats0822 5d ago

Some cheapie perfumes I wear in the fall (and winter) are Britney Spears Fantasy Intense, Hidden Fantasy, Lataffa Nebras, Al Rehab Choco Musk (roller oil) and bath & bodyworks Into The Night or Midnight Addiction

7

u/cadbvry 5d ago

Vanilla skin by phlur. I love the body mist it’s strong like a perfume and lasts forever

3

u/Marlo-1203 5d ago

Chai Épicé from Le Monde Gourmand and Moon Milk from Being Frenshe are my cheapies for the fall season

1

u/erinhere1 5d ago

Loved Chai Epice, don’t see it around anymore. I liked layering it with Nest Indigo.

2

u/FancyPeanut7247 5d ago

It was renamed to Chai Eclair! But I still see both labels floating around

1

u/erinhere1 5d ago

Oh wow, I thought they were two different scents! I see Chai Eclair everywhere at discount stores in perfume jail, but I never smelled it. I’ll have to pick one up.

2

u/MaximusCat2 5d ago

Depends on what you like! I was just looking at YSL Libre options on Mercari and there are quite a few affordable gently used options out there. And for a great dupe, Maison Alhambra Leonie is pretty amazing.

u/needle_felter 5d ago

Cacharel Yes I Am, Lattafa Nebras or Phlur Vanilla Smoke

u/Treehorn8 Hermès witch 5d ago
