The price of a high-end bottle of fragrance in an upscale department store is enough to put anyone off of perfume, period. For a lot of clients, it's not worth the financial commitment. But not buying expensive bottles doesn't preclude you from experimenting with scents. You can dig into this rich world of smells and experiences without spending a lot.  The secret is purchasing the samples. Perfume samples are an economical way to create your favorite fragrance set for day/night, travel, changes of season, special occasions without maxing out your money on full bottles that you may only love for a season.
