Perfumania.com Coupon Codes and Discounts

Perfumania.com is a volume discount store — they buy huge lots of perfume and cologne and offer much lower retail prices on scents than you’d find at a department store. This is the same old story of buying online. Anything you can buy at the mall or at a big box chain store can be found online for a discount. Buying in bulk means you pay less and can “pass on” those savings to your customers. As cheesy as that old “pass the savings on to you” line is, online discount stores like Perfumania.com really do operate this way.

What Kind of Discounts Are Available at Perfumania.com?

The self described “largest perfumery chain” in America, Perfumania.com has something of a personality disorder. The front page practically screams “Savings Up to 90% Off”, while if you read their FAQ page, you’ll learn that Perfumania claims to “offer its customers . . . up to 70% below manufacturer’s suggested retail prices”. Part of this confusion comes from the fact that Perfumania is also a popular retail store, offering similar discounts on fragrances and accessories — their in-store prices have always been advertised as “up to 70% off” while the online version sometimes has deals that you can’t even find in the bricks and mortar Perfumania retail setting. The lesson to be learned here is that shopping at the Perfumania website is sometimes a little cheaper than shopping at their outlet mall or mall kiosk locations. Running a digital store like Perfumania.com means lower overhead. There’s no rent to pay, fewer employees’ salaries, no need for cleaning supplies, and the list goes on.

Here are some specific examples of discounts you can find on popular scents right now at Perfumania.com. Remember that styles, prices, and other considerations are constantly changing — this is why Perfumania.com doesn’t offer any kind of catalog or on-paper inventory list. Depending on the market for a given scent, you may pay a little more or a little less than the price quoted here. But on this list of big name colognes and perfumes you can see how effectively Perfumania.com undercuts the competition.

Cool Water by Davidoff – The smallest bottle available at Perfumania.com (1.4 ounces) is currently retailing for $17.99. A 1.4 ounce bottle of the same cologne at Perfume.com is listed at $35, meaning you get about a 50% discount at Perfumania.

Ecko for Men by Mark Ecko — A 3.4 ounce bottle of this popular cologne is listed as just under $35 at Perfumania, while other discount fragrance websites are selling it for over $60.

Incanto Bliss by Salvatore Ferragamo — For just under 2 ounces of this perfume, Perfumania is charging $32. The same bottle of perfume at Macy’s is just over $80.

Flowerbomb for Women by Viktor and Rolf — If you were to buy this perfume in a department store, you’d be forking over $150 or more. Perfumania.com has it for $90.

Pros and Cons of Ordering from Perfumania.com

Some of the coolest details about ordering from Perfumania don’t pop up until you’re well into your purchase. You’ll notice while you shop around that there are all sorts of incentives to convince you to buy. Whether it is the free shipping on all orders over $100 or the heavily advertised “free gift with every purchase”, Perfumania seems to go out of their way to make you a repeat customer.

The large amount of customer accessible online coupons is another big pro. When I buy from an online retailer these days that doesn’t offer coupon codes, I wonder what the heck is wrong with them. Unlike some of their discount fragrance competition, Perfumania seems intent on keeping their customers loyal with incentives like customer-only coupon codes (made available to you via the only somewhat annoying emails and newsletters you’ll get after making a purchase) and fragrance-specific sales for new scents. Check up on new coupon codes each time you shop. There are often one day sales or limited sales that require you to use a coupon code within a certain window for it to work.

There are some instances when buying from Perfumania online is the perfect way to get your hands on the fragrance you’ve been wanting. If you’ve got a few days to wait on your shipment, you’re in luck. Otherwise, one of the big complaints I have about Perfumania is the sheer amount of time it takes to get my hands on what is often a very small bottle of cologne or perfume. You’d think shipping a bottle that weighs less than an ounce would take a couple days maximum, but I’ve often waited 9 or 10 days for a simple single bottle shipment. If you’re looking for a gift and you don’t have the better part of two weeks to wait for the gift to arrive, you’d be better off buying your scent from an in house retailer. Yes, you’ll pay more, but you’ll have that bottle in your hand immediately.

Perfumania.com is, after all, America’s largest perfume retailer. Between their in store sales and their online numbers, they push more fragrances out their door than any other one store. The fact that they only sell brand name and “sought after” scents rather than imitation or even store display and “store used” goods like other scent retailers is one of the big reasons to shop Perfumania.com the next time you’re looking for a particular scent.
