Question Perfume and Aftershave

We are going over black friday and have AA membership so get discount at some places but wondered where is going to be the cheapest place to get aftershave and perfume (particularly Gucci Chanel and Jimmy Choo) will it be in the department stores with the sales or at the airport?

perfume and aftershave is not much cheaper in Florida, and its not usually an item that has any reductions on Black Friday its more Electrical items and big items like furniture and computers .. Ive actually found that websites here in the Uk like cheapsmells are much cheaper that duty free I have just bought my favourite Valentino perfume at 50% off a 100ml bottle from that site

Always buy my perfume in Florida, in some of the outlet there are perfume stores, also check Macys, they often have special offers, we usually come out with "freebies" from there as well (usually handbags/totebags etc). Plus check Walmart/Target online, they carry a large range of smellies.
I usually buy Calvin Klein, Marc Jacobs,Vera Wang.

Looking forward to picking this years smellies out soon

I think american brands can be much cheaper over there plus the freebies as mentioned above. I like Tom Ford's fragrances.

Last year I bought perfume from the Dior counter in Dillards and although it was no cheaper I got several freeby bits and bobs thrown in - 2 gift bags and tissue printed with Dior in gold print, 2 mini bottles of J'Adore in gift boxes and a black velvet make up bag trimmed with gold Dior logo and filled with mini face creams etc. I was there ages, the assistant was so nice, helpful and generous.

Same on the men's Burberry counter - I bought 2 boxed sets of 5 miniature bottles of their men's fragrances for $35 per box and the assistant gave me 2 Burberry carrier bags, tissue paper and a length of burberry pattern ribbon packed separately so I could get them home safely.

we wrote down the prices and SIZES of Hugo, Tommy, YSL and DKNY in Gatwick before we went and compared a lot of prices in the US (stalls, independants and large retailers) and without exception Gatwick was cheapest, sometimes by only a few quid, but a few quid is a few quid!

I only buy two perfumes over here as they are cheaper back home, Tom Ford Black Orchid and Laura Mercier. Other than that, I just buy over in the uk so much cheaper online!
