Question about Cheap price for Parfume in Paris.

Hi Guys,

Will be in Paris this week..

Do you know where can I buy cheap Parfume in Paris?

Or any duty free in town??

Please give some idea.

Thanks a million.

With the exchange rate being the way it is, there is no such thing anymore. That said, I shop for perfume at Catherine%26#39;s. Just off of Rue Di Rivoli. I believe the street is call Rue Castalleogne. Please forgive my spelling.

With my very limited experience with the opposite sex over the last 74 years , I seem to remember that cheap perfume smells a lot like cheap perfume.

Best bet I know for discounted perfume and make-up is Catherine on Rue Castiglione.

Thank you for the correct spelling. I was at work and did not have access to anything Parsian.

I sometimes purchase perfume at the duty free shop at the airport. You can also get a VAT refund from the department stores for large purchases.

Now if you are looking for the little Eiffel Towere bottles of perfume They are in souvenier shops all over Paris. Shudder to think what the stuff smells like though.

I like the face creams and perfumes at Fragonard and for what you get I feel they are a good value. They have a store in the mall under the Louvre and on St Germaine.

Another chain in Paris is Marionard. The prices are not great but they always give me lots of free goodies.

Suzanne ....where did you find %26quot;Marionard%26quot; I thought there was one next to Fragonard place. I love both of those places.

If the OP wants inexpensive items look at %26quot;Yves Rocher%26quot;. They have cute little soild pots of perfume.

I like their Lavande Essentielle Anti-fatigue iced gel for hot tired feet. I find lots of gifts there and lots of specials during the summer sales.

Catherines is one of my favorites too.

I saw a few Marionard stores in paris. there was one near the Invalides metro for example. The one I shopped at was near Madeline. It was in a sort of Mall/Passage area.

Would you consider Guerlain to be the more expensive brand?? :)

I have a bottle of L%26#39;Instant de Guerlain (sp.), I LOVE it, but I payed $65 here in the states for a 1 oz. bottle......
