Where's best to buy fragrances?

[OrlandoMagic]

My GF is looking to buy some perfumes on our next trip but as we didn't buy any last time I don't what sort of prices to expect. Are they a lot cheaper than here in the UK? How about the airports?

If it is worth buying when we are in Orlando, does anyone know the best shops to go to?

Thanks!

I don't think the department stores at the malls will necessarily be cheaper, Duty Free would be but overall I would try Premium Outlets personally:

The Cosmetics Company Store
Designer Fragrances
Fragrance Outlet
Perfumania

All these are listed on the website on the store listing.

The places that Johnny has listed are much cheaper than duty free or buying here, we have bought loads of perfume from these places. look out for the voucher booklets that you can get from the malls as some offer around 10% off some perfume shops. or join the outlets websites

I bought mine at Gatwick Duty Free on the way out and thought I'd got a bargain. That's until I went to the Premium and Prime outlets and it was even cheaper...... so i just had to get some more

If she likes the Clinique perfumes or cosmetics she will find that hey are cheaper....about the same price in dollars as we pay in pounds in England....I always stock up om the 'Aromatics 'perfume and their foundation when we are in the US

Thanks for the replies

Our favourite shopping malls are the Premium Outlets and Prime Outlets on I-Drive, does anyone know what Perfume stores they have there?

Edit: Sorry, just saw the stores you listed Johnny, thanks!

I think it can depend what perfume you want. I was after my fave in december & we looked in the Mall at Millenia, Florida Mall & Prime outlets. It was more expensive over there so I ended up getting it in Gatwick Duty Free when we got off the plane on the way home.

We got our perfume and after shave from here

They have the unopened tester bottles in basic packaging and are cheaper than paying for a box ;-0

I love Sephora myself! But it can be quite pricey compared to other places, always good to check though

Although you might not wanna mention it to your girlfriend as she'll probably spend a lifetime in the shop, lol.

If you are looking for Armani perfume (or after shave for yourself) then the Lancolme outlet at premium has some wonderful bargains on gift packs.

And if you get the coupon book from VIP shopping you get another 25% off if you spend over $75 - you'll need to buy a couple to spend $75.

It also does Ralph Lauren and Diesel but not so many gift packs on those.

These were the best bargains we found but DH got 30% off Calvin Klein at Perfumania - also at Premium

I can highly recommend this shop. Got some fab bargains in Armani gift boxes, Lancome perfumes and the best body lotion I have ever used - Kiehl's - at only $8 a bottle (special offer) - seen it at over £40 in the UK!

Would really recommend you go into this shop and look at their special offers.
