With Christmas just around the corner, perfume makes the perfect gift to spoil friends and family (or, let’s be honest, to treat yourself). And right now’s a great time to save while you’re at it.
Black Friday doesn’t officially kick off until November 28, 2025, but many brands have already launched early deals and fragrance sales, making it an ideal time to beat the crowds and get a head start on your festive shopping.
Some of the best bargains I’ve spotted include up to 50% off big-name and designer scents at Boots, while LookFantastic has also joined in early, offering between 20% and 50% off scents as part of their Black Friday sale.
Of course, with so many discounts flying around, it can be tricky to know where to start. It’s easy enough to shop if you already have a favourite fragrance in mind. However, if you’re looking for a new signature scent or buying for someone else, the choice can be a bit overwhelming.
That’s why I’ve done the digging for you and have rounded up some of the best perfume deals based on price, customer reviews, and a few of my own tried-and-tested favourites.
Giorgio Armani My Way Eau de Parfum (50ml) – now half price

Giorgio Armani My Way Eau de Parfum is one of the brand’s most popular women’s fragrances, and right now, it’s half price at Boots. Normally retailing for £97, it’s currently on sale for £48.50, which is one of the best prices I’ve found at the moment. For comparison, The Perfume Shop has the same size for £51.99 in its own sale, so Boots just about takes the win here.
The scent itself is floral and fruity, with a musky base that includes notes of bergamot, orange blossom, jasmine, vanilla, and cedarwood.
It’s presented in a pretty pink glass bottle topped with a distinctive blue, gem-like lid, which makes it a gorgeous choice for gifting and would also look stunning on any dressing table.
In a review, one shopper wrote: “My best perfume that lasts all day — I always get compliments whenever I wear it.”
Other shoppers say they love that the bottle is refillable, so once you’ve finished it, you can top it up with a refill (that comes in a cellophane-free box), which scored major points for sustainability. The My Way Refill comes in a 150ml size, and while it usually sells for £115, it’s also on offer right now for £86.25.
That said, reviews are somewhat mixed regarding longevity. One shopper commented: “Good fragrance, but longevity is less. It stays maximum for an hour or two.” However, another said it “stays on for a long time.”
Versace Woman Eau de Parfum – 60% cheaper

If you’re after a true designer bargain, Versace Woman Eau de Parfum is a brilliant find. Usually priced at £66, it’s been slashed by 60% in the LookFantastic Black Friday fragrance sale, bringing it down to just £26.40 (making it one of the biggest discounts available in the sale).
At that price, it’s a great option whether you’re hunting for a luxe stocking filler, a Secret Santa surprise, or simply a little treat for yourself. The bottle is beautifully designed, with an elegant silhouette and a pink, jewel-shaped lid that makes it look far more expensive than it is. It even comes in matching pink packaging, so it would men a great gift.
The perfume has an impressive 4.6-star rating on LookFantastic, with plenty of glowing reviews. One shopper said: “Great smell — bought it as a gift! It was on sale when I purchased it and makes such a good present!”
Another described it as their “everyday scent,” while a third added: “Super strong scent, lasts all day and very affordable.”
According to the brand, Versace Woman combines notes of jasmine, bergamot, raspberry, musk, and amber, creating a fragrance that shoppers have described as “fresh and floral” with a “feminine” touch.
However, one three-star review noted: “Smells really lovely, but I got through the bottle quite quickly. Not as strong or long-lasting as other perfumes.”
Still, for the price (and that gorgeous bottle), it’s a fabulous chance to snap up a designer scent without a designer price tag.
Calvin Klein Obsession eau de parfum (100ml) – 61% off

One of the best deals we’ve spotted in the Superdrug sale is on Calvin Klein’s Obsession Eau de Parfum, now available for less than £35 for a 100ml bottle. The fragrance has been discounted by £54, down from £88 to just £34. It’s not only one of the strongest offers in the Superdrug sale but also noticeably cheaper than at Boots, where it’s on sale for £44.
The scent has been described by reviewers as “bold and unforgettable.” According to Superdrug, it’s a blend of florals and spices, with a “woody” yet feminine finish.
One shopper said: “Calvin Klein Obsession is a fantastic perfume and really great value for your money. The scent strength is really nice.”
It comes in a curved, amber-hued bottle that would look really pretty on a fragrance shelf or dressing table. Plus, it’s not just shoppers who love it; it’s also a celebrity favourite, with Jane Fonda listing it as the only fragrance she has ever worn.
In an interview with Glamour in 2024, she said: “I’ve stopped using perfumes. That’s because so many people I know are allergic. But when I did wear it, my one and only perfume was Calvin Klein’s Obsession.”
Sol de Janeiro – save up to 25%

While not technically perfumes, I couldn’t resist including the brilliant discounts on Sol de Janeiro sprays that LookFantastic are currently offering. Sol de Janeiro has shot to viral fame over the past few years, best known for its body sprays and body butters (though they’ve got plenty of other deliciously scented goodies, too).
These chic sprays don’t exactly come cheap. They usually retail for anywhere between £24 and £38, depending on the size. But right now, LookFantastic has a bunch of amazing discounts on Sol de Janeiro scents, including my favourite, Cheriosa 62, a sweet and warm pistachio and caramel scent.
As part of the sale, the smaller 90ml sprays are reduced by 25%, bringing them down from £24 to £18. The larger 240ml bottles are also slashed by 25%, from £38 to £28.50.
If you’re stocking up for Christmas, there’s also a great deal on the Spritz and Shine Gift Set, which includes four 90ml fragrances from the brand’s best-selling range. It’s worth £44 and usually retails for £34, but right now you can grab it for 20% off at just £27.20.
One of my favourite things about these fragrances is their versatility. They make the perfect quick and easy daytime scent when you don’t want to reach for your pricier perfume. There’s a whole range of scents to choose from, like Cheriosa 68, one of the brand’s most popular fragrances, with sweet floral notes of dragonfruit, jasmine, and hibiscus. Or Cheriosa 39, which I think is the perfect warm-weather scent: floral, fruity, and made for summer.
