Save Big on Fragrances
Affordable colognes and perfumes all online
Money Owl’s top picks
Feeling Sexy
- The BEST prices: we compared prices of a handful of women’s and men’s fragrances and Feeling Sexy had the best price seventy two per cent of the time (see results table below). So affordable!
- Performance and reliability: they have absolute confidence in their service and product, as evidenced by the fact that they publish live customer ratings on their site. Plus nearly every fragrance has comments and ratings.
- Home grown: a Melbourne based business and proud. They even have a lovely boutique store in St Kilda. An excellent retailer both online and instore – rare combination indeed.
- Free shipping: free standard delivery within Australia on all fragrance purchases.
Buy My Make-Up
- Excellent prices: Buy My Make-up were the runner-up on the price scale, after Feeling Sexy. Be sure to check all our top picks for the best prices though, as prices vary on brand and house.
- Home grown: they are an Australian owned and operated business, and are very transparent about their values and service offerings. It’s great to see an Australian retailer giving the internationals a run for their money.
- Free delivery: free standard delivery on all purchases and express delivery is an optional.
StrawberryNet
- Great Prices: so affordable! The discounts aren’t as big for fragrance as for their other items, but they’re still good. Savings typically range from 5% to 15% off RRP.
- Free delivery: free delivery on all purchases. They claim it is registered post but it isn’t. Still, if your item is lost in the post they send a replacement one straight away.
- Loyalty discounts: the more orders you accrue the higher the discount. Although you have to rack up 20 orders to get the full 10%, which might take a while. You also get 1-5% off when you purchase 2 or more items in one order.
- Big range: one of the largest online ranges of fragrances. A lot of it is creams and gels though, which makes the range for actual parfum/eau de toilette appear bigger than other sites.

Hot tips:
- Stick with what you know and love: avoid buying a new fragrance just because it has a big discount - you will always save money in the long run if you buy perfume that you already know works for you.
- Fragrance Finders: use and online ‘Fragrance Finder’ to help you find a new scent. These are perfect because they help you narrow your search using the perfume you already love as a guide. Sephora has an easy to use, no fuss Fragrance Finder men and women: http://www.sephora.com/browse/me/index.jhtml
Watch out for:
- Fakes and imitations: we were shocked to find out that around 10% of perfumes on the Australian market are fakes. Check out the feature article in Perfume.com.au so you don’t get caught out with a dud: Fake Perfumes in Australia
- Exchange and returns: check the return/exchange policy before you purchase. Exchange and returns policies are mixed – some offer exchange, some don’t. Best to check to avoid disappointment.
Anything else to know?
- Freebies: Do you get freebies with your purchase? Strawberry Net often has promotions where they throw in an eye pencil or shadow with purchases. If your preferred retailer doesn’t have a giveaway offer why not ask? They may be able to throw in a sample.
