Projection comparisons
How to compare the projection of budget perfumes
Compare budget perfume projection by hiding price from the scent observations and using the same contextual method. Price does not establish a projection class, and a lower-cost fragrance should not be judged by a different standard.
A HUME Fragrance buying guide

Check equivalent product facts
Record maker, exact version and applicator. Samples, inspired fragrances and designer originals are different offers even when a familiar reference appears in their descriptions.
Use a consistent observation
Choose similar appropriate settings and describe noticeability with a willing observer where useful. Do not equate spray counts across different atomizers with exact matched doses.
Add price after the trial
Review enjoyment, suitable presence and delivered cost together. A stronger result is not automatically better value if it does not fit your intended use.
Try this before you buy
Complete the presence notes first and compare prices only when assessing the final purchase decision.
