    I like http://www.directcosmetics.com/ They have testers cheap and I have had loads of good bargains from them over the years.

    I second this recommendation, and not just for perfume. I've had Elizabeth Arden 8hr cream boxed (& in cellophane wrapper) for 1/3 of UK shop price. Deliveries fast & trouble free.

    Have also used Strawberrynet without incurring the wrath of customs.

    Hi

    I was having difficulty getting hold of a particular perfume too. I understand that a couple of the manufacturers won't allow their perfumes to be sold online so that's probably why you can't get hold of Chanel No. 5. I did find one site though where they have a phone number (they have real shops too) and I spoke to the people there and they were really helpful. Probably worth a try if you're still looking.

    The website is https://www.LauraPerfumery.co.uk and the phone number I rang is 01462 676880. I thought the site was pretty good - somewhat classier than most and with a very good range (loads of brands I'd never even heard of!).

    Hi - Chanel Allure Homme Sport seems to be a rarity amongst these websites - like the other moneysaver wanting chanel, it seems to be a brand that's not easy to come by - does anyone know of a good discount chanel stockist please?????
  • Try https://www.inscent.co.uk

    UK based, good prices, fast delivery, excellent customer service

    I used cheapsmells.com, based in the channel islands, and got a very nice deal on me girlfriend's perfume. Also worth noting that they pay 5% cashback through quidco (as many other perfume sites do).
  • I used this site http://www.supaperfume.com/ quick delivery, 2nd class recored is free 1st class recorded is £1.75
    chanel No5 100ml edp spray is £69

    Happy Christmas

    I've just ordered something on this site and it's US based but the fs2000 code does work for free postage (think it should have been $15.95 for international orders). Nice tip Silkman!
