A trip is always a good excuse to buy perfumes. Not all the cities have good stores to buy this kind of products. And, speaking about this, which are the options in New York for this kind of shopping?
Century 21 – this outlet style department store is one of the best places to find perfumes deals from famous brands, in my opinion. I know that the place can be crowded, but there are many celebrity fragrances – like Beyoncé, Rihanna and Jennifer Lopez – between $20 and $30, but the best part are the sets with two items: fragrance + cosmetic or fragrance + fragrance for reduced prices. I’ve seen a Dolce & Gabbana set (100 ml and 30 ml) for $55.
Address: 21 Dey St / 1972 Broadway
Sephora – this famous store also has a special section of fragrances, with brands such as Dior, Marc Jacobs, Prada, Chanel and Marchesa. There are enough options sizes – 30ml, 50ml and 100ml – and an interesting thing at Sephora is that there are miniature versions of some fragrances.
Address: várias espalhadas pela cidade.
Cosmetic Market – this store can be considered an outlet of cosmetics in Manhattan. In addition to the selection of items of makeup, skincare and hair for a very reduced price, there is a neat selection of fragrances – most of them signed by celebrities – but there are also items from Calvin Klein and Elizabeth Arden. Prices are also great.
Address: 15 E 37th St.
Lojas de departamento – Macy’s, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bergdorf Goodman and Bloomingdale’s have gret beauty sections and there is always someone in the aisles handing out samples. There are brands like Salvatore Feragamo, Balenciaga, Estee Lauder, Lacoste, Miu Miu, NEST Fragrances, Hèrmes, Tory Burch, Jo Malone … It is good to note that the brand mix includes many famous names – and it’s a little different from Sephora mix.
Address: Macy’s – 151 W 34th St / Bloomingdale’s – 1000 3rd Ave / 504 Broadway / Bergdorf Goodman 745 5th Ave / Saks Fifth Avenue 611 5th Ave.
Tj Maxx – I love TJ Maxx beauty section! It has everything for a much cheaper price than practiced in normal stores and the selection of perfume does not get behind. I have seen Fantasy, Britney Spears, 30ml version, for only $ 10! There are many fragrances signed by celebrities (and this is the place where you will find the largest selection of them at the lowest price).
Address: 250 W 57th St / 407 E 59th St / 808 Columbus Ave / 14 Wall St / 620 6th Ave
Perfumania – America’s Largest Fragrance Retailer Perfumania specialized in the sale of genuine designer fragrances. Brand mix is huge and there are always special sales. Products are offere with a discount of anywhere from five to almost eighty percent off the suggested retail price.
Address: 20 w 34th St.
