There are plenty of affordable options that have a similar eau-ffect — for less than $50. Keep reading to see our favourites. Tous 1920 The Origin Eau de Parfum Image Source: tous.com As the overtly manly flask packageing implies, this 1920 The Origin Eau de Parfum ($44) is marketed as a masculine scent. We prefer to think of it as gender-neutral, as the top notes of bergamot and cardamom are assisted by a lovely floral kick of jasmine. The end result makes you feel super confident — and confidence knows no gender. 1920 The Origin Eau de Parfum $44 from tous.com Buy Now Paris Hilton Rose Rush for Women Eau De Parfum Spray Image Source: amazon.com Even though the guys are crazy and the stars are blind, year after year, Paris Hilton will keep dropping fragrances.
