Perfumes........(prices)

[Husky_mom]

I´m inquring about perfume prices as my brother is going across the pond and I´ve heard they are less expensive there....... even in the USA they are half of what they cost here...... so any pointers would be great so I can know how much money to give him :p

preferably about some Cartier, esp Santos (men)(I loooove how it smells hehe)

and some Chanel´s.(women)...... there was this one that smelled very good but can´t remember the name......LOL

When you say "across the pond", where is your brother going?

[Husky_mom]

he is going in a school trip to Europe, he´s gping to Rome, Florence, Venice (sp?), Verna, Paris, Versalles.....and some Lucerna ,Luganda can´t remember those two last LOL.......

My absolute favorite is Allure by Chanel, it has to be the eu de parfum, I just bought a bottle, it was I believe 108.00 for 3.4 ounces. I don't think its much cheaper in Europe, I had my hubby check once when he was there.

[Husky_mom]

even more than that it would cost here a Eau de TOILETTE!!!......

Oh how lovely! That sounds a wonderful trip. :)

This is a link to a world Duty Free site. Click on the Frangrance Search tab, then you can search on brand, what country you are buying in etc. It might give you a guide to how much he would have to pay.

Duty Free (http://www.worlddutyfree.com/portal/site/wdf/menuitem.bfdeedd050a9e638561177b29328c1a0/)

EDITED Having looked at that link further, it seems to only give UK duty free prices which may not be of much use to you. On the other hand, I think prices may be pretty standard across much of the European Union now, so it may give you a rough guide.

Oh there is this kind by chanel that I LOVE IT. its coco mademiosel (spelling) it smells so good. My sister and mom wear it. I would say its about 60 to 70 dollars around here for a bottle, Not a huge bottle but not a tiny bottle either.

Isabel...give me a list of exactly what you are looking for so I can get an accurate price list for you. They are quite cheap here. I can even get names of some places he can get them cheap. :)

Ok I will check on those tomorrow or saturday. Not sure if the profumeria is open saturday or not though so most likely tomorrow and get some prices for you. :)

It's not a problem at all. I was at acqua e sapone saturday to get things for myself so had a look and today I was at the Profumerie Douglas and got the prices there. I had to get some things in the mall where it is. So all I really did was find the stores in the cities where your brother was going to be. So it was no trouble. I have to go into the center tomorrow and there is a profumeria on the way so I will drop in there to see if I can find madmoiselle. :)

I am glad I could help you. So are the prices better here?
