Perfume deals aren't exactly few and far between, but how do you know you're actually getting a stellar price for a high-end fragrance, or if you're simply falling for the allure of a cheap bottle that will soon end up in the bin?
The best fragrances are ones that will last you at least the whole day, that look great on your dresser, and that, ideally, won't break the bank. But unless you're looking for one of the best cheap perfumes, chances are you're holding out for a great deal on your favorite luxury or designer scent. Whether you're on the hunt for a perfume with patchouli or you've decided on one of our favorite rose perfumes, you'll find all the deals you need on this page, for top-quality fragrances at reasonable prices.
While we did see some great discounts on perfumes for Amazon Prime Day, lots of the deals we've included below are actually even better, including savings from various different stockists. We've rounded up the best perfume deals on either side of the pond, with impressive discounts across popular options such as YSL Black Opium, Daisy by Marc Jacobs, and more. We've even managed to find rare savings on coveted, rarely-discounted Chanel fragrances this month.

Top tips for getting good perfumes at cheap prices
Our beauty editor Fiona McKim has years of experience traipsing through the web for the best perfume deals out there. Here are her top tips for finding the best prices on top-shelf fragrances...
- Think outside the seasons: This is Fiona's number one piece of hard-won advice. She explains that because "designer brands often release limited edition versions of their most popular scents in Spring", with "richer, more intense versions in Fall and Winter," retailers will often discount these when the season changes. These out-of-season scents are "just as gorgeous as the classic versions", according to Fiona, but are more likely to be found in the sales, whereas signature scent price reductions are trickier to scout out.
- Look for deals on gift sets and boxes: The same rule applies for gift sets that typically hit the shelves around seasonal holidays such as Valentine's Day or Christmas. Just be sure to "seek out collections with two sizes or strengths of a fragrance, rather than 'filler' body lotions and creams". While these gift sets and boxes were probably already representing a decent saving, prices can get slashed even further as retailers start to shift their stock. "So what if it's in a festive box?" says Fiona, "There's nothing wrong with a sparkly gift set at any time of year!"
- Go big or go small: If you're not sure what sizes to go for when looking for perfume deals, Fiona's advice is to land on either side of the spectrum. "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", she says. 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 getting a genuinely good deal?
As with shopping for deals on any product, it can be easy to get caught up in the excitement of slashed prices and make a quick decision on an item that you may regret further down the line. Fiona advises that a "cheap perfume is only a good deal if it's something you would have considered buying at full price", adding that "15% off your signature scent is a better deal than 75% off the one you'll never wear".
One of the difficulties of buying perfume online is that, unlike shopping in-store, you can't try it before you buy. If you find yourself tempted by an offer on a fragrance you've never actually smelled, Fiona says that if you can, "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". However, this isn't always possible, which is why she suggests thoroughly checking the notes - and understanding what's meant by perfume notes - and researching the "fragrance family of a scent you already love, then using it to inform your shopping".
When it comes to the actual price being offered, Fiona also stresses the importance of cross-referencing retailers to "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".
