Why perfumes under ₹2,000 can smell luxurious
The ₹1,500 to ₹2,000 band is the value sweet spot in India. Arabian houses put rich, expensive-smelling ingredients, real oud, saffron, amber and vanilla, into high-concentration EDPs at this price, so scents like Raghba, Velvet Rose and Oud Mood genuinely rival niche fragrances costing many times more. Most last 7 to 10 hours with strong projection. As always, the only risk is a fake from an untrusted seller, so buy original.
