Top up your go-to aroma for less this month, with our pick of the best perfume deals (The Independent)

A simple spritz of perfume can elevate your mood, but a quality fragrance doesn’t come cheap. Whether you’re searching for your signature scent or curating a collection of perfumes, I’m here to help you save on your next bottle.

As a rule of thumb, make sure you pay attention to the bottle size (particularly when you’re shopping for perfumes online), to make sure you’re getting your money’s worth. I’ve included a range of volumes here, but if you’ve never tried a particular scent before, you may want to order a smaller size before splurging on a large bottle. You can also get a free perfume sample in many stores, which is great for testing out a new fragrance if you’re on a budget.

It’s also worth bearing in mind that fake perfumes are rife online, so make sure you only ever buy from reputable retailers and avoid bargains that seem too good to be true. I’ll only ever feature deals from retailers I trust, so you can rest assured that you’re getting the real deal.

Now, onto my top picks: whether you want a spritz of Chanel or a waft of Lancôme, keep scrolling for the best perfume deals in November 2025.

Why you can trust us to find the best perfume deals

At The Independent, we’re committed to bringing you the very best deals. I work alongside our experienced team of deal-hunters, tracking down the best perfume offers.

Having also tested a wide range of the best perfumes, I know which discounts are actually worth your while, as well as the ones that are falsely inflated. I’ll feature scents I’ve tested out wherever I can, otherwise, it’ll be from a brand I love and trust.

The best perfume deals for November 2025 in the UK:

Yves Saint Laurent black opium extreme eau de parfum, 50ml: Was £105, now £74, Thefragranceshop.co.uk

(The Fragrance Shop)

Now with 30 per cent off, Yves Saint Laurent’s black opium extreme elevates the brand’s original black opium fragrance with a deeper, bolder twist. Perfect for those who want a fragrance that truly stands out, it strikes a captivating balance between sweet, fruity notes of pear, mandarin, and cherry and the warm, comforting depth of black coffee, vanilla, and patchouli. The addition of orange blossom and jasmine in the heart brings a floral elegance, adding a sophisticated contrast to the rich base.

For regular perfume-wearers, you may want to consider investing in a The Fragrance Shop membership from £15 a year. This unlocks exclusive discounts, for example, it’ll take £14.80 off the price of this Yves Saint Laurent perfume – though it’s probably not worth it for a one-off purchase.

Mugler alien goddess eau de parfum, 60ml: Was £100, now £55, Secretsales.co.uk

(Mugler)

Mugler alien goddess delivers a radiant scent that stands out among the same old boring floral notes. The fragrance opens with coconut water and bergamot, immediately creating a refreshing first impression. The heart reveals floral notes of jasmine and heliotrope, adding a touch of elegance. As it settles, the warm richness of bourbon vanilla and cashmeran forms the base, giving the fragrance a deep, sensual finish.

Alien goddess is just the ticket for those seeking a memorable, luminous scent, and now you can save 45 per cent on it at Secret Sales.

Lancôme la vie est belle eau de parfum, 30ml: Was £69, now £51.75, Debenhams.com

(Debenhams)

With a usual price of £69 for the 30ml bottle, Lancôme’s la vie est belle perfume is now just £51.75 at Debenhams. It’s neither too sweet nor heady, thanks to iris florals punctuated with the sweetness of pear and blackcurrant.

If you’re on a budget, you could try M&S’s pink pepper scent instead. It’s not currently on sale, but it’s a bargain at just £10, and it has similar notes of orange flower blossom and jasmine.

Chanel coco mademoiselle eau de parfum, 100ml: Was £149, now £119.20, Boots.com

(The Fragrance Shop)

If you’re looking for a more delicate alternative to the iconic Chanel No.5, coco mademoiselle is a beautifully light fragrance that lasts all day when I reviewed the perfume. It has a subtle sweetness with top notes of orange and rose, while the Art Deco bottle oozes elegance. It’s a premium scent, but at the moment, you can save £22 when you buy it from Boots – perfect if you’ve been stacking up those advantage card points. If you miss this deal, you can get it at John Lewis for the same price.

Marc Jacobs daisy glow limited edition eau de toilette: Was £73, now £36.50, Debenhams.com

(Debenhams)

One of the latest additions to Marc Jacob’s daisy collection is currently half price at Debenhams. As I said in my review of the fragrance, it has notes of white strawberry and sweet orange, which makes it a more youthful scent. This is a truly versatile day-to-night eau de toilette, and it’s now half price at Debenhams.

From budget buys to luxury treats, here’s my pick of the best perfumes
