BEST PLACES TO BUY PERFUME?

Lindsays Grandma — Fri, 10 May 2019 03:31:51 GMT

I am currently in the market to purchase perfume and would appreciate some ideas of where the best buys are. I'm considering either Lily Of The Valley or Lavender by Yardley or Woods of Windsor. The last time I bought some from Fragnance Net the Rose scent barely had any scent at all so I'm nervous about using them again. I guess if their price is the best I may have to. Any and all responses will be appreciated. TIA

Go to Nordstrom or Saks and ask for assistance!

Amazon sells many brands (and if you have Prime, shipping is free).

@Lindsays Grandma

My new favorite find is by Lilly en Provence.

I have only found it one place near me... otherwise I guess it is in France!

The scents they concoct, using all essential oils, is just heavenly!

@Lindsays GrandmaI assume the Rose Scent you purchased from Fragrant net you have not tried out before. I have bought from fragrance net with good results. For instance, I loved Querlain Terracotta edp.that was a limited edition. Since I used it before, I was pleased that scent was spot on. I also purchased from them a few discontinued fragrances that I have used in the past. I also have found fragrances at low cost at discount stores like TJMax, Ross or Marshall. You should check it out now because they stock more scents for Mother's Day & other holidays. Of course, You can look for sales in Department Stores or Ulta & Sephora. HTH

QVC best place.. more product and you don't have to be surrounded by horrible smelling perfumes in the process of finding the one.. Philosophy has a couple I LOVE.. Amazing Grace and Baby Grace.. I know that Ulta has Amazing Grace but they don't have Baby Grace.. I won't buy it there though.. I'd rather get it through QVC.

I got a bottle of Diorissimo from Amazon, and it hardly had any scent. I contacted them and they reimbursed me for the entire amount

I repurchased it again , from Amazon, and the new product was fine

I would first go someplace where I could actually try the fragrance. Sorry but I don't understand purchasing something which a fragrance without smelling it first (ie perfume, candles, air fresheners).

Go to the fragrance counters at Macy's, Nordstrom, Ulta, Sephora ie any Big Box store first. Then you can look online for the best deal for your chosen fragrance.

If you like the floral scents, my favorite is Paris by YSL. Is has a beautiful feminine timeless scent. I wouldn't order fragrances online. I would go to a dept. store or Sephora or Ulta and try them out first. Some counters will give you a small sample and then you can wear it for awhile and see how it is on you.

How can anyone buy fragrance online and expect to love it, when you can't smell it??? I need to smell it in person on my skin before buy it.

My Favorite is Infusion D'Iris by Prada. I only want the perfume, not the toilet water. After dealing with Fragrance.net for along time , I got sick of their dishonest email coupons and the price juggling they do when you go to order it,

I found the 6.3oz perfume at Maxaroma.com.

Best price, free & fast shipping, and no tax. Happy Day!!!

@Lindsays Grandma - Are you looking for suggestions for other fragrances, or are you only looking to buy the ones that you mentioned in your OP? If it's only the ones in your OP, the Woods of Windsor brand is available on the Wal-Mart website. The Yardley fragrances are available from Vermont Country Store.

I'm afraid I can't help with other fragrance suggestions as lily of the valley and lavender aren't my type of scents.

When I was using conventional perfume, I loved fragrancnet.com. I also used fragranceX and sometimes Amazon (but only directly from Amazon).

I now use exclusively perfume oils, so it's a whole different story. I buy directly from the niche companie or from Etsy if they sell there.

@Lindsays Grandma @Sweet_Serenity

This is the scent that has me going. It is for DH for Fathers Day. We have looked for many years for scents for him that doesn’t provoke a migraine (in me)

I think I tolerate this one real well because the ingredients appear to be from essential oils.

i wish the Q carried this line.

I love that the side side of the box has a place to write a note! Oooo-la la!

if you know what you want, buy from Belk or Macy's and the shipping is free. You can also go to Ulta and check many scents...I was surprised to find they carry some very well-known brands of perfume

I know exactly what I want, what I am looking for is the best place to buy it at the best price. My bad, I didn't make myself clear on my Thread.

And many Amazon vendors won’t take perfume back if you don’t like it.

My local Walgreens has a bunch of perfumes. Also, my Walmart store carries a fairly good size collection there, too.

I know what I want, what I want is to find out where I can get the best price. I specifically mentioned the scents I want and did not ask how they smell.
