First off, lemme say, these aren’t exactly bargain-basement perfumes, okay? We’re talkin’ Prada here. But some are definitely pricier than others. The thing is, sometimes it’s not even the perfume itself, it’s the *size* of the bottle that’ll getcha. A tiny 30ml is obvs gonna be cheaper than a massive 200ml, duh.
I saw someone mention Infusion de Rose (the 2017 one, the one Sølve Sundsbø did the visuals for, which, btw, are *stunning*). Now, that one’s kinda harder to find these days, being a bit older. So, if you *do* find it, it might actually be *more* expensive because it’s kinda rare, see? Which is totally backwards, I know. Perfume is weird like that. Supply and demand and all that jazz.
Then you got the newish ones, like Infusion de Figue. Now, *that* one…hmmm…I kinda dig the whole “green woody notes with fig” thing. It’s described as “lively fig wrapped in musk and citrus,” which, tbh, sounds kinda yummy. And the ad copy goes on about it being like “natural body scent,” which, well, that’s a *claim*, isn’t it? But I digress… Figue, being newer, *might* be more readily available, and therefore, potentially, *slightly* less expensive than some of the older, harder-to-find ones? Maybe? It’s all a gamble, really.
Okay, so here’s my take on finding the CHEAPEST:
1. Discount websites, obviously. Duh. Think FragranceNet, Notino, even eBay (but be careful of fakes!). That’s where you’ll find the deals. Just, y’know, read reviews and stuff. Don’t wanna end up with some weird knock-off.
2. Travel sizes/decants. Seriously! Sometimes getting a small travel size or even a decant (a sample sprayed into a small vial) is the way to go. That way you’re not shelling out a ton of cash for a full bottle you might not even love. Plus, smaller bottles are way easier to carry around in your purse. Win-win!
3. Keep an eye out for sales. Like, around Christmas, Black Friday, stuff like that. Department stores often have deals on fragrances. It’s worth checking.
4. Consider testers. Sometimes you can snag a tester bottle for cheaper. They usually don’t come with the fancy cap, but who cares? It’s the juice inside that matters, right?
Honestly, the whole “cheapest” thing is a bit of a hunt. The price fluctuates, deals come and go, and you gotta be on your toes. And tbh, maybe the *real* question isn’t “cheapest,” but “which one do I *actually* like the most, and can I find a reasonable deal on it?” Because buying a cheap perfume that you hate is just a waste of money, ya know?
