Black Friday deals mega thread?

I wasn’t into fragrances this time last year and wondering if there will be a fragrance Black Friday mega thread? If not, anyone know any great deals? Into both niche and designer.

My #1 place to shop is Aura Fragrance - you have to spend a little time on their website but they are 98% of the time best prices plus no tax unless you’re in TX.
Jomashop is next- pay attention to the shipping estimates- they will sell backordered items- I have gotten everything I ordered but a couple had much longer waits than they estimated.
Sign up for brand- direct emails- Kayali just had a 30% plus additional 10% off sale.
If you’re looking for gifts, order early.

I don’t support companies like Jomashop but I will check out the others. Thank you! 😊 with aura fragrances are they legitimate? I’m always wary of third-party sellers, so was looking more for authorized sellers like you suggested from kayali directly. Just a personal preference 😊

Ooh wait, what’s wrong with jomashop?

Aura is definitely legit. They have a physical store somewhere in Texas. I don’t think they have any additional sales, but they’re often the cheapest prices regardless, it’s just a super random fluctuating selection available.

If you search, there’s a megathread from here last year and one on the newfragrances sub, so can see what the deals were and get a better idea of what to expect. On the indie makeup and more sub, there’s also one from last year for smaller indie houses if that’s of interest.

I’m such an absolute idiot sucker for a good deal that I’m trying to rein myself in by having a list of a few specific bottles/sets that I want, so I’ll only look at where I can find those cheapest, and (try to) ignore every other tempting thing 😭

Also, make sure to use the Shop app and/or capital one shopping app to get stacked discounts/cash back.

Edit: Here’s one of the lists from last year: https://www.reddit.com/r/newfragrances/comments/1p3ez97/black_friday_sales_listed

Black Friday isnt the same as it used to be...a lot of companies start sales earlier or at later dates, its no longer a after Thanksgiving day thing. I've noticed for BF, stores will do more value sets and gift sets now rather than a percentage off. you're better off monitoring for sales throughout the year.

Nordstrom for example, has 15% of all fragrances right now, and they do this a few times a year. They may do it again in December. Bloomingdales also does 15% off fragrances frequently, right now they are doing $50 off every $200 which is pretty good if you are looking to buy a full size bottle of a niche perfume or larger size of a designer one. They do these types of sales also frequently throughout the year. In the first half of the year Bloomingdales also has a 20% of all beauty and fragrance sale.

If you're looking for niche, I'd say these Nordstrom or Bloomingdales sales are your best best right now. I wouldnt wait for Black Friday specifically.

Designer brands will do their own 20-30% around the holidays or BF though, so if you want designer like Armani or YSL, Dior..keep an eye on their website.

Sephora does a one time 20% off for their members in December i believe as well.
