Cheap Perfumes
People in the UK need their essentials, but still want their luxuries. They want treats that remind them that they are a worthwhile individual, help to raise their self-esteem, and in the case of perfume, also help to attract others. When budgets are tight, it’s tempting to cut back on the products such as perfume that offer the feel-good factor.
A clever consumer, however, just needs to shop around. So where can you find cheap perfume in the UK? As the globe has suffered recent economic difficulties, there has been an inevitable rise in the number of shrewd consumers, retail websites, consumer advice websites and thrift stores to cater for our dwindling budgets.
Competition from internet shopping, where margins are lower thanks to the lack of any high street retail premises, has meant that many UK prices for perfumes are lower than ever seen. The high street then fights back with offers of its own – resulting in a wide choice for the consumer. This competition is fuelling the UK’s obsession with cheap perfume.
There are many websites that offer perfume with huge discounts, in some cases up to 70 per cent or even 80 per cent off the full price. A simple internet search will reveal many such websites, although as with any product, some detailed browsing will reveal the best bargains.
Local stores that offer household cleaning products, packaged non-perishable foods and stationery often have glass cabinets within which can be found designer fragrances at pocket-money prices.
Buying a perfume no longer has to mean taking a trip to a high street department store or chemist, browsing hundreds of options and having to ask for help from a salesperson. For some people, though, the knowledgeable assistant and multitude of testers is all part of the experience.
Not only are an ever increasing number of designers and fashion brands bringing fragrances onto the market, but these ranges are expanding. New fragrances are launched every week and some are less successful than others, or have a narrower clientele, prompting UK perfume retailers to cut their prices, so that they can move stock.
This need to shift stock is not necessarily because the fragrance itself is unpleasant, but because there is too much competition from established scents and other new products for the new fragrance to make its mark. Sometimes a product will never gain the expected popularity, because the marketing did not reach its target market.
There are now many options for finding and buying make up advice shops and on Online Chemist UK websites and these inexpensive products are often discounted up to 80 per cent from the RRP.
