Smart-sized Scents

Picking up a new perfume used to mean a whole lot of angst. After all, we don't want to waste megabucks on a scent we get tired of in two weeks. And we don't necessarily love the budget priced perfumes, either. But thankfully some savvy perfume designers are catching on and creating pocket-sized roll-on scent options at seriously reasonable prices.

Here are just a couple of the high-end, low-cost designer scents that we’ve fallen for this summer:

Masaki Matsushima's self-named scent is chic and rich and femine, with a mix of lychee, Fuji apple, musk, cedar and other complex elements mixed in. ($16 for .33 oz)

Stella by Stella McCartney is all about roses and amber, making it a cool mix of girliness and sophistication. Bonus: Stella McCartney’s perfume line is based on ecological and organic practices. ($16 for .33 oz)
