Looking for the cheapest place to get some fragrances, specifically niche brands like MFK, Tom Ford etc. All of the NZ websites are pricier than having a Mecca F&F discount which I think is ridiculous. I have tried dupes of the popular brands but they dont project the same.
Where do you get your fragrances from?

I somehow feel gift sets are over priced as they are smaller in size. Plus 95% of the time additional items are useless for me.
Once in a while it might be good.

Recently I've been getting good deals for fragrances I like with Chemist Warehouse, especially when they have good shopback cashback deals.

You can purchase some on Trademe. I am always concerned about getting ripped off. I pay for my perfume from Farmers deals or life pharmacy. I like my top brands YSL, Giorgio etc. I find what one I like and shop around. Christmas box deals are usually better value.

How do you get a ff discount at Mecca? Same boat, lots of the niche fragrances are really hard to get discounts on

Duty free + testers from TM.
I only wear Bleu de Chanel and Dior Sauvage day to day.

Depending on where you live some markets and night markets have people that make their knock off versions.
I tend to only buy from Chemist Warehouse due to their cheaper pricing, but did see Bargain Chemist will price match with 10%. Watch the prices over many weeks and you tend to get a good deal. Do not buy off Tradme as I have attempted this three times and no matter how much back story you get with sellers claiming they bought it from duty free etc, and asking for close up photos I have received fakes and legit. The legit had a reciept and was easy to spot the fake one and get my money back - but they are getting really good now. The last one I bought from Farmers as they had 20% off and gift sets where cheaper than single item on its own.
