Not-so-controversial opinion: You’ve been paying too much for fragrances. Luckily, the best early Black Friday perfume deals everything from perfume gift sets (ideal for travel or testing new fragrances) to full-size perfume bottles (great if you or any loved ones already have a signature scent on lock). We found these early Black Friday deals from brands like Armani, DKNY, and Oscar de la Renta, plus new-school entries from Boy Smells, Snif, and Ellis Brooklyn. We know it’s tough to buy fragrance online, which is why Glamour shopping editors have zeroed in on perfume sales that have scents we have worn, love, and can vouch for. Here’s to a great (smelling) holiday season!
Best early Black Friday Perfume Deals, at a Glance
Where to shop
What were last year’s best Black Friday and Cyber Monday perfume deals?
Last year Amazon served up some great Black Friday sales on fragrances from Lancôme, Tocca, Calvin Klein, and Mugler. Saks offered a discount on the iconic Maison Francis Kukdijan’s Baccarat Rouge 540 (which, to our knowledge, never goes on sale), plus bestsellers like Dior J’adore and Jo Malone. Nordstrom also had some great fragrance sales on the very popular Gucci Flora and $30 discounts on viral sets from Diptyque and Byredo. Sephora also came in clutch last year with deals on the chic Maison Louis Marie scent and Valentino Voce Viva. We also found some Ulta perfume deals, such as a $40 markdown on the popular Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium, and more than $20 off Clinique’s Perfectly Happy Fragrance set. Last but certainly not least, Bloomingdale’s shocked us all with sales on Chanel’s Coco Mademoiselle and Viktor & Rolf’s Good Fortune Eau de Parfum.
Amazon has some great discounts on perfumes and body mists well before Black Friday this year, and we think any of them will make a perfect gift. Pacifica’s smoky sandalwood fragrance Dream Moon (which smells just like some more expensive scents) is currently 25% off, bringing it under $20, while Philosophy’s iconic crisp and clean Grace scent is going for 20% off. If you’re hopping on the body mist train, the fruity DKNY Golden Delicious Eau de Parfum spray is currently under $15!
We’re spying some pretty decent cologne discounts at Saks, including two Nishane Extrait de Parfum fragrances that are around $70 off each. Pachulí Kozha is deep and complex with notes of patchouli, leather, and incense, while Kredo reads more vibrant with pink pepper, cardamom, and sandalwood.
Nordy’s is serving up some great discounts on huge perfume houses, like these picks from Armani and Derek Lam. Acqua di Gio gives off a sensual blend of bergamot and bourbon at 25% off, and A Hold on Me has sweet notes of tiger lily and berries and is discounted by 40%.
We’re pretty much enamored of Sephora’s early perfume deals so far. Madie from By Rosie Jane is half of its usual price, while the Ellis Brooklyn Biography Discovery Set is currently under $30 (this one makes a great beauty gift for Christmas, if we do say so ourselves). There are also major sales on Floral Street fragrances suh as Wonderland Peony, and the LoveShackFancy Eau de Parfum Discovery Set.
Run, don’t walk, because Macy’s is currently offering some of the best doorbuster fragrance deals on designer fragrances from Oscar de la Renta, DKNY, Narciso Rodriguez, and Kate Spade. Are you looking for a new floral fragrance favorite? Bella Rose will satisfy your scent craving and is under $60. Or maybe you’re in the mood for something woody, in which case the For Her eau de toilette spray is currently under $40
It’s rare that this cool, unisex Los Angeles fragrance brand has some early Black Friday deals, so we’re jumping on them ASAP. The brand’s signature LES, Rose Load, and Flor de La Virgen fragrances are all under $70, and if you’re in search of a holiday gift, might we recommend the limited edition candle set? This four-candle set features some of their most well-known scents, including Broken Rosary and Hinoki Fantôme, and is currently available at a $20 discount!
Snif had some pretty great Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals last year, and while we’re waiting on official price drops, we’re eyeing their end of season sale, which currently includes the mini-fragrance versions of the trending Burning Bridges and Natural Talent scents for $25.
If luxury perfumes for less are at the top of your holiday wish list, Dermstore has you covered. The retailer is offering $28 off the foliage-inspired Hermetica Jade888 Eau de Parfum, and $29 off the Raincry Blanc Advanced Hair Mist, which is a fresh-smelling hair perfume with notes of soft florals.
