Cheap Men's Fragrances
From LoveToKnow Makeup
If you're in search of a great gift, you may be interested in seeking out some cheap men's fragrances to dole out as gifts (and to yourself, of course!). Today, even the most coveted designer fragrances can be found for discounted prices. It's just a matter of knowing where to look and how to find the best bargains!
Inexpensive Beauty
A fragrance doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg to make an impact on the lucky recipient, whether it's you or a loved one. That's because "cheap" scents don't always equate to poor quality. In fact, some of the world's most popular fragrances are available for affordable prices nowadays, thanks in great part to the plethora of Internet boutiques devoted to discounted perfumes.
Where to Find Cheap Men's Fragrances
Whether you're shopping online or prefer to sniff your scents before you purchase anything completely new to you, you're in luck – cheap men's fragrances are everywhere these days. There are several options available to you, depending on the type of scent you're after.
Drugstores
If you're an old school sort of male whose tastes are ingrained and who really knows what he likes in a fragrance, you'll probably find one of your favorite classics at a drugstore. Old standards like Aramis, Drakkar Noir, English Leather, Pierre Cardin and Stetson, among many others, are readily available and often sold at small discounts.
Drugstores are also great places to shop for men's fragrance gift sets, particularly during the holiday season. Chances are you'll get more bang for your buck when buying a set with several items as opposed to just a bottle of men's cologne.
Online Retailers
Probably the best place to find a deeply discounted men's scent is at an online retailer. With a number of "e-tailers" devoted exclusively to selling fragrances at reduced rates, there is practically no scent on the market that can't be purchased at a reasonable price. Some of the Internet hotspots for finding affordable fragrances include:
- Overstock Perfume: Whether your tastes run more designer or mainstream, chances are you'll find something you love here. The clearance category is especially impressive if you're seeking particularly great deals – with prices as low as $5.49 for some items, there are some definite steals to be found here. Overstock Perfume will also price match prodcts if you happen to find a particular scent for less at another retailer.
- Perfume Junky: Attention, fragrance junkies: You'll undoubtedly find a fabulous scent at this haven for bargain colognes. With over 1500 men's scents to choose from, there's something for everyone. For the most outstanding money-saving deals, shop by discount and select "over 50%" to score some truly cheap finds. You'll even find little extras, like soap and after shave.
- Fragrance X: You simply can't go wrong with Fragrance X, one of the Internet's most renowned scent boutiques. The more you shop there, the easier it becomes on your wallet. The company's rewards program is designed to show appreciation for loyal shoppers. You'll earn a point per dollar spent, which translate into percentages off future orders as they accumulate.
eBay
Occasionally, you'll come across a fragrance that is seemingly impossible to find at anything but astronomical retail prices. In such cases, you're best off keeping an eye on eBay, particularly for those newer men's scents that are getting a lot of beauty industry attention. If you're patient, you'll find that they'll appear sooner or later on some discount sites, but during their initial release period, eBay may hold more promise.
Discount Department Stores
If you'd rather purchase your scents in person but want a greater selection than the usual drugstore fare, try a discount department store, such as Marshalls, TJ Maxx, Filene's Basement, Loehmann's or Ross. The men's departments within these stores usually offer a decent range of fragrances, and they're always priced at reduced rates.
Some Final Tips
When holiday season rolls around and prices begin to drop, that's the time to really take advantage of all of those great deals. Whether you're shopping for yourself or for gifts you'll give throughout the year, you can stock up at one time.
Don't forget to compare and contrast, particularly if you're doing your shopping solely on the Internet. If you prefer one retailer to another, find out if they'll price match fragrances if they're sold for less elsewhere. Do your homework and your bargains will be even more satisfying!
