Re: BEST PLACES TO BUY PERFUME?

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.

Re: BEST PLACES TO BUY PERFUME?

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!!!

Re: BEST PLACES TO BUY PERFUME?

@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.

Re: BEST PLACES TO BUY PERFUME?

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!

Re: BEST PLACES TO BUY PERFUME?

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 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. 


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.
