Cheap And Chic

You probably recognize the bottle before the scent. Cheap And Chic, launched by Moschino in 1995, comes in a flacon shaped like the cartoon character Olive Oyl, and it’s one of the most fun bottles you can put on a dresser.

The perfume inside is just as cheerful. Fresh citrus and green notes open it, then rose, violet, ylang-ylang and orange blossom make a soft, pretty bouquet. Sandalwood, amber, musk and vanilla give the base a gentle, powdery warmth that becomes cozier as it settles.

It feels playful rather than formal, light enough for daytime and easygoing enough to wear every day. The clean, comforting trail it leaves is part of its charm.

This Eau de Toilette comes in 1.7 oz and 3.4 oz, and it’s a popular gift for collectors and first-time Moschino fans alike.
