Best perfume deals still live after Black Friday 2025, from Chanel to Marc Jacobs
Popular fragrances have been reduced in the Cyber Monday sales
Black Friday and Cyber Monday are officially finished for the year, and many of the top perfume deals have evaporated into thin air. However, there are still some offers – including fragrances from Chanel, Marc Jacobs and Giorgio Armani – that continue to linger. I’m here to round up the best perfume deals you can still shop right now.
As The Independent’s beauty writer, I’ve spent all year testing scents and digging out the best discounts, so you can trust me to highlight the genuine deals that will make your money go further. While there’s no saying what offers we’ll see in the run-up to Christmas, our research showed that most beauty items were cheaper during last year’s Black Friday sales than they were by 20 December 2024, so now is likely the best time to shop before the Black Friday afterparty is done.
So whether you’re shopping for Christmas gifts, party season or could do with stocking up on your signature scent, I’m here to help. I spend all year testing out perfumes and I’ve included everything from fresh, citrus scents to deep, woody fragrances in my handpicked list below. Keep reading to bag a bargain before the deals are gone for good.

Unlike Chanel’s other scents that tend to lead with florals, the chance eau splendide features raspberry, which makes the top notes “sugary sweet and tart” as I noted in my review of the fragrance. As “it melds with the oils and warmth of your skin, the aroma transforms with the cedar and florals sprouting to the surface, making for a more complex and distinctive finish”. It transformed into something unique over hours of wear, and it complemented my natural scent well.

What is the difference between Black Friday and Cyber Monday?
Black Friday kicks off the seasonal sales with widespread discounts both online and in stores, covering everything from tech to fashion and homeware. Cyber Monday comes at the tail end of the shopping weekend and is largely focused on online deals, with retailers sharpening their offers on categories like tech, beauty, and home, making it the last opportunity to lock in standout savings before the promotions wrap up.
How I selected the best Black Friday perfume deals
When choosing the best perfume deals this sale season, I looked at a range of sizes and checked the price per millilitre. Crucially, I’ve only included deals from trusted retailers such as Boots, Lookfantastic and Sephora, as perfume fakes are rife.
As you may know, some retailers play tricks to make their deals seem better than they are, such as hiking prices just before Black Friday, for example. That’s why I use price tracking websites like PriceSpy, PriceRunner and Camelcamelcamel to make sure I’m only bringing you the very best perfume deals.
