    Proper designer perfume - not FM, Lidl or high street varieties.

    I'm lucky to still be using two different Dior scents bought by my ex before we split up 4 years ago and one Armani scent bought by me duty free pre-covid, but they won't be replaced when finished.

    Scour online, there are a few places i buy from, the prices can be almost half price sometimes, sometimes ebay and amazon have them lower priced too - definitely worth time hunting.
    Thanks, but still too costly even when half price.
