Best post-Black Friday perfume deals including Jo Malone’s myrrh and tonka

The Cyber Monday sales may have officially finished, but many deals are still up for grabs. Whether it’s Baccarat rouge or Le Labo santal 33 you’re after, I’m here to secure you the very best Black Friday and Cyber Monday savings on your favourite fragrances.

Black Friday weekend (or month, as it has seemingly become in recent years) is arguably the UK’s biggest annual sales event and you’re unlikely to see prices slashed to quite the same extent at any other time of year – and, yes, that includes the January sales.

The discounts were expected to run right through to Cyber Monday (which falls on 2 December), but as many sales continue, you can still shop the lowest prices from the likes of Glossier, Boots and Charlotte Tilbury (yes, the brand does fragrance now).

I’ve compiled the best deals on sweet, gourmand scents, earthy, woody offerings and fresh, citrusy ones, too, so keep scrolling for all the perfume offers currently still live. Plus, expert shopping tips and more.

Best perfume deals to shop now

One of Jo Malone’s most popular scents (and one that’s rarely reduced), this myrrh and tonka cologne is included in TK Maxx’s Cyber Monday reductions. With notes of vanilla and almond (atop the myrrh and tonka, naturally), it’s a warm scent that’s perfect for the season and, with a generous £40 off right now, it’s even better placed to make a marvellous Christmas gift (or you can treat yourself, of course).

Included in our round-up of the best fragrances for women, this classic Dior scent was described as being “timeless” by our reviewer. The perfume combines floral notes of ylang-ylang, damask rose essence and jasmine sambac, and our reviewer said: “It’s soft, sweet and typically feminine yet not overpowering in any way.” As it’s an eau de parfum, only a few spritzes are needed, which means this discounted bottle should last you a while.

A perfume with an enormous fan base, Marc Jacobs Daisy has been on the block since 2007 and has no intention of leaving the fragrance space any time soon, lest it face the wrath of its spritzers. Reviewing the scent in our round-up of the best perfumes for women, our tester said “it combines white violet and jasmine for a flowery fragrance, berries for sweetness and sandalwood to make it seem deeper and warmer, it has a little bit of everything while still staying nice and light”.

A scent that everyone’s going to want to get their hands on this season, Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s Baccarat rouge is the ultimate winter fragrance with its decadent floral, amber and wood notes. It’s a premium pick – there’s no denying – and it’s also one that rarely sports a reduction, so I’ll be snapping up this 15 per cent discount at John Lewis. Join me, won’t you?

“For those looking for luxury labels on a budget, look no further, for we’ve found an absolute steal with this Coach scent,” said beauty expert Lauren in her guide to the best affordable perfumes. With notes of sweet pineapple complemented by spicy pink peppercorns, this is a real crowd-pleaser.

A perfume that’s supposedly worn by the likes of Cheryl Cole and Lucy Hale, Victor & Rolf’s flowerbomb features – as its name suggests – heart notes of jasmine, orchid and rose. It’s feminine and features warm amber undertones for the perfect autumn/winter take on a traditional springtime scent. With 20 per cent off right now, take this as your sign to have a party season fragrance refresh.

IndyBest reviewers Lee and Sam are experts in male grooming and fragrances, and they selected this Acqua di Parma cologne as the best fragrance for men overall, thanks to its understated quality and impressive staying power. “Citrusy, herbal and floral, it’s everything a traditional cologne should be and much more,” the glowing review stated.

The Glossier Black Friday deals are finally rolling out and, with TikTokers making their own solid perfumes with Vaseline and their scent of choice, I was delighted to see the you fragrance on sale in its melty-wax iteration. Designed to make topping up on the go that little bit easier, our tester said the solid scent is “not one of those perfumes that hits you hard for five minutes and then fades away – it lasts until the evening, and lingers on coats and scarves for days.” Take home your own compact today with more than 30 per cent off.

The type of perfume that you’ll definitely have caught a whiff of before, be it on your best friend or a passer-by, Mugler’s alien scent is a signature in the sphere, having been around since 2005. As for its notes, it’s woody and floral (with jasmine and cashmeran), and the sort of fragrance that lasts all day long. Now with 25 per cent off, it’s even more enticing.

Quite the popular perfume, Vera Wang’s princess was released in 2006 among a haze of Paris Hilton press and diamantés. In 2024, its branding remains in-line with that iconic era, providing nostalgic appeal for both those who lived through it and the gen-Zs lusting after it. Its scent notes include vanilla, pink guava and apple, and it’s undoubtedly sweet on the nose. With almost £50 of savings up for grabs, cult fans of the fragrance can rest easy.

A luxe pick, but one that had everyone going gaga a couple of years back, Le Labo’s santal 33 is a warm and expensive-smelling fragrance – made a touch less expensive with 15 per cent off. Much like Baccarat rouge above, it’s rare to see it reduced. While this £25.50 saving doesn’t seem as generous as some of the deals herein, it’s likely as good as it gets with Le Labo. So, fans of the fragrance, think fast – those heavenly violet and sandalwood undercurrents won’t be on offer for long.

Another iconic fragrance, this time from Dior; the French fashion house’s pink floral perfume is both sweet and fresh, and suits wearers of all ages. Reduced by 20 per cent today, it’s the sort of scent that’s wearable from day-to-night with a classic rose heart that never goes out of style.

A classic perfume to have in your scent library, D&G’s light blue is fresh and gender-neutral, offering notes of apple, jasmine and amber. While it’s most at home in the summer months, it’s just as refreshing on a crisp winter morning with the aroma of crunchy, frozen grass all around you. Now, with more than 30 per cent off, it’s a great time to stock up on your fragrance of old or try something new for a little bit less.

Even if you think you’ve not smelt CK one, you will have. Its scent fills everything from men’s changing rooms to the beauty halls of your local department store and, I can assure you, that you’ll be familiar with its fresh and citrusy aroma. Whenever I’ve used it personally it accompanies my other fragrances (think: Chloé or Chanel chance) perfectly and the fact that it’s unisex makes it all the more giftable. Save money today while it’s more than half price.

One of the perfumes that ended up reduced in the Black Friday 2023 sales, black opium is currently reduced by 20 per cent. With top notes of pear accord and mandarin essence giving an initial floral, sweet scent, underneath, you’ll whiff warming black coffee and cedarwood, giving the fragrance a dark, fashionable twist. It should last a long time on the skin, too.

This is the scent TikTokers say will definitely have people smelling you before they see you (in the best way), and with notes of luscious jasmine with deeper musk and amber undertones, I believe them. TikTok aside, the scent is wildly popular and sleekly packaged in its minimalist pink-capped bottle. It’s neither too spicy – no overwhelming vanilla, here – nor too citrusy and makes for a perfect year-round day-to-night scent.

This scent is a top pick for gifting when it comes to the luxury lady in your life. Its key notes are magnolia, tuberose and sandalwood and, in the same way that Chanel’s No5 lingers and radiates opulence, Elizabeth Arden’s 5th Avenue is ritzy and large as life. I would say it’s best suited to the more mature wearer, though it’s not limited to by age; anyone could wear it, especially as an evening perfume.

With notes of jasmine, orange blossom, pear and blackcurrant fruits, this perfume has been described by one of our reviewers as “a ‘girl’s girl’ perfume” for people who “enjoy savouring a few sweet, colourful pleasures to distract them from the mundane chaos of everyday.” The scent has been around for more than a decade but you can now pick it up at a discount at The Fragrance Shop, where bottles of the 30ml size have been reduced.

If the scent of Aesop’s skincare delights you, you’ll love this Black Friday deal. The virere fragrance blends the brand’s signature woody undertones with fresh citrus, verdant fig and green tea notes. The result? A bougie ultra-natural scent guaranteed to lift your mood. It’s now 20 per cent cheaper in the sale.

Best aftershave deals to shop now

Give the gift of smelling great this Christmas with the explorer set from Montblanc. The eau de parfum blends fresh notes of bergamot and sage with rich vetiver from Haiti and Indonesian patchouli for a woody, leathery finish. The set also comes with a shower gel to double down on the winning scent presented in a luxe gift box. Now 20 per cent cheaper, it’s the best time to buy.

This budget-but-brilliant aftershave performs well above its pay grade, earning a spot on our guide to the best men’s fragrances. Our writer Samuel adored its understated floral scent, comprising a blend of citrus fruits, rosemary and lavender. He found the staying power was somewhat wanting, but at this price you can reapply throughout the day without breaking the bank.

Best perfume deals to gift for Christmas

There are plenty of incredible perfume deals to shop this Black Friday, and any one of them would make a magical Christmas gift (depending on your recipient’s scent preferences, of course). My handpicked selection includes deals on fragrances from Tom Ford, Lancôme and Dior. If you’re not sure what scent to go for but are looking for something that will wow, opt for a multi-scent bundle, such as the Phlur best sellers deluxe trio (was £28, now £22.40, Space NK). Looking for something luxe? Granado’s floral and woody époque topical perfume (was £110, now £93.50, Libertylondon.com) is reduced, too.

How to shop the Black Friday and Cyber Monday perfume sale

My top tip for economical shopping while browsing your favourite scents during the Black Friday event? Always check the price per 100ml. Often deals on smaller vials of eau de parfum or eau de toilette can seem better but actually work out less cost-effective than their bigger counterparts. On the flip side, I’ve seen travel-size perfume vaporisers reduced to lower prices per 100ml than their full-size iterations. I and the IndyBest team will be sharing all of the best deals as they drop, so, be sure to check this page regularly.
