A good perfume is the cherry on top of a chic outfit and glam makeup. Whether you’re a vanilla girl or a sucker for a floral scent, a simple spritz of the pulse points can elevate your mood for the day or night ahead. Unfortunately, these fragrances can come at quite a cost, especially if you want the staying power of an eau de parfum. And it can be hard to justify the financial outlay amid the rising costs of, well, just about everything.
Thankfully, some of the most popular perfumes are on sale from time to time – and that’s what I’m here for. As IndyBest’s beauty writer, I’m constantly browsing the latest and greatest in makeup, skincare, and, you guessed it, fragrance. That means I’m on top of the best deals week in, week out, so you can secure those lucrative savings.
Whether you want a spritz of Chanel or a waft of Lancôme, I’ll update this guide with my top reductions every month. Read on for July’s top perfume picks, including Mugler, Marc Jacobs and more.

Marc Jacobs daisy eau de toilette, 50ml: Was £62.50, now £41.09, Amazon.co.uk
I’ve tested all the Marc Jacobs Daisy scents, and this eau de toilette stood out for its incredible versatility. Whether day or night, summer or winter, this fragrance works for any occasion. The blend of fresh, zesty berries and soft florals like violet and jasmine gives it a clean, uplifting feel, while the subtle sandalwood base adds a touch of warmth. I was impressed by its lasting power, staying fresh for several hours. At almost 35 per cent off, it’s a good time to grab it.
Yves Saint Laurent black opium extreme eau de parfum, 50ml: Was £105, now £74, Thefragranceshop.co.uk
Now 30 per cent off, Yves Saint Laurent’s black opium extreme elevates the brand’s original black opium fragrance with a deeper, bolder twist. Perfect for those who want a fragrance that truly stands out, it strikes a captivating balance between sweet, fruity notes of pear, mandarin, and cherry and the warm, comforting depth of black coffee, vanilla, and patchouli. The addition of orange blossom and jasmine in the heart brings a floral elegance, adding a sophisticated contrast to the rich base. Encased in a sleek, stylish bottle, this fragrance is ideal for evening wear or special occasions, offering an unforgettable, luxurious scent.
You can take a further £14.80 off if you happen to be a The Fragrance Shop member. While joining does cost an annual fee, it may be worth investing in if you frequently gift perfumes.
Gucci bamboo for her eau de parfum, 75ml: Was £110, now £66.99, Theperfumeshop.com
Gucci bamboo is a captivating and elegant fragrance. The rich sandalwood and grey amber bring maturity, while the sweet touch of Tahitian vanilla creates a smooth, comforting feel. Floral notes of Casablanca lily, orange blossom, and ylang-ylang round off the scent with a hint of femininity for a lasting impression.
Giorgio Armani sì eau de parfum, 30ml: Was £69, now £55.20, Selfridges.com
Giorgio Armani’s Si is arguably the brand’s most popular fragrance and combines floral and earthy notes for a finish that’s designed to mimic the smell of freshy aired sheets. It’s gorgeously housed with its sculptural lid and gold wraparound logo and, with blackcurrent top notes, it boasts a youthfulness that encourages day to night wear.
At it’s on offer, it’s low in stock at Selfridges. So if you happen to miss out, John Lewis is also price matching this deal.
Mugler alien goddess eau de parfum, 30ml: Was £68.27, now £54, Amazon.co.uk
Mugler alien goddess delivers a radiant scent that stands out among the same old boring floral notes. The fragrance opens with coconut water and bergamot, immediately creating a refreshing first impression. The heart reveals floral notes of jasmine and heliotrope, adding a touch of elegance. As it settles, the warm richness of bourbon vanilla and cashmeran forms the base, giving the fragrance a deep, sensual finish. Alien goddess is just the ticket for those seeking a memorable, luminous scent.
Lancôme la vie est belle eau de parfum, 30ml: Was £69, now £48, Johnlewis.com
With a usual price of £69 for the 30ml bottle, I was very happy to spy it for less than £50 at John Lewis. It’s neither too sweet nor heady, thanks to iris florals punctuated with the sweetness of pear and blackcurrant.
If you happen to be spending more than £80 on Lancôme – say you opt for one of the bigger bottles of the perfume – then you’ll get a free Lancôme Icons Travel Size Skincare Gift Set from John Lewis too. Usually priced at more than £90, you truly get your money’s worth.
Chanel coco mademoiselle eau de parfum, 35ml: Was £78, now £64.20, Boots.com
If you’re looking for a more delicate alternative to the iconic Chanel No.5, coco mademoiselle is a beautifully light fragrance that lasted all day when I put it to the test. It has a subtle sweetness with top notes of orange and rose, while the art-deco bottle oozes elegance. Right now at Boots, you can save £15.60 on the 35ml bottle or £29.80 on the 100ml bottle.
