Discount Perfume - Finding your Perfect Scent for Less Cents

Perfume magnate Coco Chanel believed so strongly in the power of a scented woman that he once said, "A woman who doesn't wear perfume has no future." Many women would not leave their homes without dabbing on a bit of their signature scent. But in tough final times, perfume is often considered a luxury by most women.

Perfume is a billion dollar industry with brands that are priced from under ten dollars to hundreds of dollars an ounce. Men also contribute to the pockets of perfume makers with their love of cologne and aftershave.

Finding cheap perfume that does not smell cheap is a challenge. However many websites are giving consumers sweet deals (literally) on some of the top perfume brands on the market. One of the most well-known, www.perfumeworldwide.com, has every brand from department store perfumes to some of the top scents from designers like Halston. The perfumes are priced an average from 25 to 65 percent off their retail price. On the weekends, this online retailer offers and additional ten percent off their low prices.

The company also offers a free perfume sample with each order. If you want samples of a certain scent but can't get down to the department store to try it, you can order a perfume sample from www.perfumeworldwide.com for $2.99 plus shipping. If there are several perfumes you think you would like to try, you can send for several samples.

Another website that features cheap perfume is www.perfumeempoium.com. This site features all of the major brands, also at discount prices. You can also find deals on skin care and other beauty products. The website has a program called "BeautyBucks" where you can earn credits every time you order. Those credits can be redeemed for free products. If you recommend others to the site, you can also earn "BeautyBucks." If you buy a lot of perfume or beauty products, "BeautyBucks" can save you hundreds of dollars a year.

The web site also offers free shipping on orders of $60 or more in the United States. You can also purchase candles, gift sets and skin care items at www.fragrance.net.

Another favorite site with excellent discounts is www.FragranceX.com. It pays to check out each site listed to see which offers the best price for the scent you're looking for. Depending on the manufacturer and how tightly they control the price the sites can offer the same discount or can actually vary widely.

You don't have to look at a perfume-only website to find the best deals on perfume. Many websites such as www.overstock.com offer perfume at clearance prices. You can also check out www.amazon.com for cheap perfume.

Remember if you order perfume online, you may have to pay shipping fees which can be expensive. You also face the possibility that your order could get lost in the mail or damaged. While most companies will replace a damaged or lost package, if you need your order fast, you may not want to wait for a replacement.

Don't get excited when you see a great deal on one website. Because the online perfume business is so competitive, you will want to shop several websites before making your purchase. Shopping around may cost you time but can save you money in the long run.

If you do not want to use the Internet to order your perfume, many department stores offer discounts or special sales on perfume. Some upscale department stores will offer free gifts such as beauty products or makeup with your fragrance purchase. You can search the newspaper for sales or check out the department stores' websites for special deals.

If you have a favorite fragrance, check out the designer's or manufacturer's website. Often you can find cheap perfume deals on those websites.

All of the websites and offers listed also apply to men's fragrances, too. Men purchase scents almost as often as women, a fact that is not lost on the major designers. Calvin Klein and Halston produce fragrances for men and women.
