Perfumes & Colognes

You can "smell a best buy" here.... Everyone buys cologne or perfume or fragrances for gifts or for themselves, and where you shop makes a difference. There are discounters and some discounters specialize in brands that are no longer carried by mainstream retailers. In some cases, there are speciality shops who carry brands that are no longer sold in the United States but are available in Europe. Some discounters are also wholesalers who might have their own store. Some specialty fragrance operations also get deals on "testers" or samples. Some speciality operations might sell merchandise that was shipped in "plain boxes" because there was a miss-match in the size of the orders for the product and the packaging. And then there are some stores who sell private brands that might have the same fragrance without the brand name.
