Top tips for getting the best perfume deals

Backed by years of shopping experience, searching for the best deals out there, beauty editor Fiona McKim shares her insider knowledge for snapping up the best discounts on luxe, designer scents...

• Think ahead of the seasons: Fiona's number one top tip to snapping up a good deal on a top-shelf fragrance is to be planning ahead, she explains: “Designer brands often release limited edition versions of their most popular scents in Spring [and] richer, more intense versions in Fall and Winter." This means last season’s scents can often be found in retailer's sales, however they are "just as gorgeous as the classic versions", according to Fiona.
• Opt for discounted gift sets and boxes: Alongside an array of new fragrance launches each season, brands are also known to release gift sets around seasonal holidays such as Valentine's Day or Christmas. The key to nailing this top tip is by making sure to "seek out collections with two sizes or strengths of a fragrance, rather than 'filler' body lotions and creams," says Fiona. You’ll often find these gift sets’ price tags marked down even further as the holiday season comes to an end.
• Go big or go small: Keep in mind the size of perfume you’re looking for when on the hunt for fragrance bargains, as being unsure will only make the task at hand harder. Fiona advises: "If you have a signature perfume on repeat purchase, investing in the largest size and strongest possible concentration will save you money in the long term." Alternatively, "if you want to try a luxe fragrance but it's prohibitively expensive, look for travel rollerballs, solid versions and hair mists", Fiona suggests, adding that these are "reliably cheaper than eau de parfums, but you'll still smell as sweet".

How do you know if you're genuinely getting a good deal?

As with any case shopping for bargains, it can be incredibly easy to be swayed by the thrill of reduced price tags, that said, it can also be equally easy to regret your sale purchase later down the line. The key to making responsible yet money-saving buys throughout sales periods is in the prep. Before shopping, it's worth considering the fragrances you'd like to add to your most reached-for perfume arsenal, Fiona advises: "cheap perfume is only a good deal if it's something you would have considered buying at full price," she adds: "15% off your signature scent is a better deal than 75% off the one you'll never wear."

When it comes to restocking your signature scent, it's a simple and straight-forward task of buying perfume online, but it can be a trickier task for those looking to invest in a new fragrance that you haven't smelled before. In order to avoid disappointment, Fiona recommends that you, "get to a shop and have a sniff for peace of mind that you're truly getting a bargain perfume, not a useless desk ornament". This is a very handy tip but we can appreciate it isn't always a possible option for virtual shoppers, in which case she suggests checking and understanding what's meant by perfume notes - plus, researching the "fragrance family of a scent you already love, then using it to inform your shopping".

A red discounted price tag can be enough to sway us into thinking we’ve secured a great deal, however make sure to always cross-reference the price with other retailers, Fiona stresses: "Make sure the price reduction you are being offered is really the best out there, and that the original price stated reflects that on other stores".
