Within about 1 - 1.5K, I will suggest a bunch of Armafs, they're a rip off of the more expensive Creeds etc, and they are known to have high quality. I have one of those myself and can vouch for it.
Bogart Silver is a good buy
You could look at Grey Flannel, an always-classic
Two outstanding Yardleys are Yardley Gentleman Classic and Yardley Gentleman Citrus and Woods. Citrus and Woods is sort of similar to Terre d'Hermes (in its drydown). The Yardleys don't last in our weather though, but make up for it in low prices.
I found the Titan collections very good too, for the price.
Another clearance to look at these days is Diesel Plus Plus and Diesel Zero Plus, both within 1K and very impressive!
Here's a REALLY old photograph. I think I've added a few in the years since.

So are there any shops in Mumbai which do provide original perfumes and deos in today's time if we dont have to purchase it online. If yes can you name some of them please. Not a single spray should be duplicate because nowadays in too many shops they sell duplicate ones. So someone who has been a long time customer and still purchasing can come to know about fragrance and all. Also even if you are purchasing online then from where and do you receive discounts and all since being a regular customer. If yes then how much discount?
I recall there's an indian site dedicated only to perfumes, deos and toiletries. Cant recall its name. At least they offer only geuine original products and no fakes & duplicates.
Has anyone tried https://www.perfumebooth.com perfume booth. Seems genuine site but not sure. Is it buying from them worth it?
who else has a dedicated fridge for perfumes like AK3D above?
IS this site genuine: armaf.in?
All prices seem low. See this perfume for 1099/-. Same selling for 1525 on flipkart even after sale.

armaf perfumes were selling for 700/800 range only, due to the youtube reviews and demand, sellers have hiked the prices.
check this site https://www.takeit2day.com/, (he is not the cheapest priced, but priced better than flipkart sellers). Check in eBay too
1.5k for armaf perfumes are inflated prices.
Some of my favourites are:
Davidoff Horizon
Dior Sauvage
Burberry Sport
Paco Rabanne XS
Ralph Lauren Polo Sport
Dior Farenheit
I used to also love the original Drakar Noir but iirc it has been reformulated and the current fragrance is just pure SOAP! Totally avoidable.
For normal use and casual laziness.. good old Gillette Cool Wave does fine too.. though technically it's an after shave

All the ones I have are pre-reformulations
. XS, Farenheit and Drakkar Noir from your list.
This picture is from probably 2006 or so, it must have been 12 or 13+ years I have had this fridge, and it's been performing really well in summers. It keeps the perfumes cool compared to the ambient temperatures, and helps them avoid degradation.
They still smell as good as the day I bought them. Worthwhile investment if you have more than a couple perfumes.
As for Armafs, I have Armaf Derby Club House https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B00AF03WAU/ (Supposed to be a good knock-off of Creed BDP which retails over 200USD). I found it OKish, but the staying power and quality were really good. Can't really complain for about 1000 rupees.
Armaf still sells for anywhere from 800 to 1500 depending on the fragrace.
I bought 100ml Armaf Derby Club House Ascot for 930 shipped. This is one seriously awesome perfume.

Here's an idea of what Armafs are supposed to 'compare' against.

I bought it from FlipKart.
It was shipped to me from Gurgaon. So probably seller is from there. Seller is Rocketsales Corp.
I've heard some youtuber say he bought lot of Armaf perfumes from armaf.in. So that site seems genuine.

I bought mine from Amazon - I believe that Armafs are at the lower end of the price scale and hence there aren't too many knock-offs out there in the market (would not surprise me if people also start making knock offs of these too).
Amazon (prime/assured) sellers should be a reliable source. Flipkart assured sellers (some of them) seem to stock the genuine product, as does armaf.in .
Ok. I ordered it too for 860 after cashback. Hooe this perfume rocks! Most expensive one ever bought by me
