You’d be wrong to think that Amazon Prime Big Deal Days only has perfume deals on suspicious designer dupes. Nowadays, the retailer’s fragrance department includes popular brands like Viktor&Rolf, Mugler, Donna Karan, and Lancôme— and many of their top scents are included in the Prime Day sale happening today and tomorrow, October 8 and 9.
To help you navigate the hundreds of October Prime Day perfume deals happening this week, we’ve created this shortlist of ELLE editor-loved scents that are currently on sale on Amazon. These are the fragrances editors wear ourselves, gift our loved ones, and recommend to the perfume fanatics in our inner circles.
As the seasons change, so should your scent options. It’s time to set aside your fruity summer favorites (for now) and transition to warmer, spicier scents like Ellis Brooklyn’s Raven or Skylar’s Fall Cashmere, both of which are 40 percent off on Amazon.
Why not try a celebrity fragrance like Billie Eilish’s amber gourmand eau de parfum or Sabrina Carpenter’s new Cherry Baby fragrance for Scent Beauty? They’re both under $40, so you’ve got nothing to lose. Or, maybe you finally grab a viral scent like Snif’s Sweet Ash or Le Monde Gourmand’s Pistachio Brûlée while it’s marked down.
The holidays will be here before you know it, and Prime Big Deal Days is the perfect opportunity to get a jumpstart on gift shopping. Internet-famous perfume brands like Phlur, Skylar and Ouai have perfume gift sets discounted as much as 50 percent during October Prime Day, so it’s worth shopping early instead of waiting for Black Friday.
But remember, Amazon Prime Big Deal Days end tomorrow at midnight, so these discounts will be gone in a flash.
