I'll be honest, I love a great bargain—though as a beauty editor, I'm very aware of overconsumption, and sale culture just intensifies that. However, when it comes to Black Friday fragrance deals, I feel a bit differently.
The best perfumes out there are expensive. Trust me, as a scent-focused editor, I spend the majority of my days testing out the latest and greatest in perfumery. So, I can tell you one thing for sure: the very best fragrances tend to have hefty price tags.
And while my love for all things scent is no doubt down to the luxury of it all, even I can't deny the appeal of the deals to be had. In fact, I often recommend that anyone hold off buying the one luxury perfume they've had their eye on all year until the last week of November—because more often than not, you're going to make a notable saving.
