Fragrances at Priceline
This may seem like a silly question but I would like to know…
Are the fragrances at priceline the real deal?
Some of them seem very cheap compared to what you pay at other places-I know priceline doesnt always have the “markup” of other places.. but im just wondering….

Priceline is my 1# trustworthy place to shop. I doubt they would have anything fake and they are so helpful!

But the brands they made that are dupes for the real ones, dont last as long and fade away before half an hour!! I love the prices of the real fragrances and you get points too and get something cheaper next time with the sister loyalty card. Hope i helped babe 🙂
I also just started a beauty youtube channel if you wanna check it out. My last video is for a day time look for VALENTINES DAY xoxoxo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhs_UCGvAWg

Priceline does sell genuine perfumes however I once purchased a perfume from them that was off. They were very apologetic about it, and let me exchange it for another bottle. 🙂

Perfumes from Priceline certainly are the real deal! I buy all mine there and have bought them from places like myer in the past, there is no difference between the two. I love buying my beauty supplies from Priceline and have never had problems with anything not being up to standard. 🙂

The perfumes at Priceline I have no doubt are real, but keep in mind about the concept of “grey market” products. Two good blog posts about them are from “The Science of Beauty”:

Priceline and other stores are not authorised sellers of particular brands; this does not mean you don’t get a real product, it just means you aren’t getting things direct from the genuine company.
Usually they are old stock, or bought overseas at a cheaper price. For example, compare Priceline’s most recent catalogue of Estée Lauder’s fragrance treasures; they are from a couple years ago, not this year’s one (which featured Modern Muse, and was sold in department stores and online). This will also explain why some people on the thread experienced dud perfumes (it easily could have been an old bottle, as a lot of things have a certain shelf life expiration). However, this does allow the chemist to feature perfumes at cheaper prices, but also keep in mind the prices department stores sell things are a set price direct from the company themselves. Even sale prices have to be approved by the company; this is also why department stores won’t price match things from chemist stores.
Hope that helps everyone 🙂
