Chanel No. 5 ?

My MIL wants this for Christmas. Anyone know where will I find the best price?

Unfortunately cosmetics and fragrance can be difficult to find on sale. This is especially true for Chanel, which is still privately held by a family - this means that the big cosmetics discount stores (like Cosmetics Company Outlet) don't carry it, and that the price is relatively fixed. The price is the price is the price, whether you are at Nordstrom or Sephora. Your best bet is to use a coupon code through Sephora - they recently sent out $15 off a purchase of $50 or more. Or if you also like Chanel products, they will very very rarely do a gift with purchase.

You could also try ebay or amazon independent sellers, but there are a LOT of people selling fakes that are manufactured in China and not in France and that have a much higher alcohol content, so I wouldn't recommend it if your MIL is familiar with the scent.

Thank you - great information.

Your MIL has great taste! As the prior poster stated it's going to be the same price unless you have a coupon at Sephora. You may be able to get a nice gift set or bonus gift, right now Macy's is giving away a free beauty bag and more than likely you can score free shipping as well.
