Honestly. I know the dept. stores mark-up the cost.. but..
I bought a bottle online and it LOOKED and SMELLED exactly like the $80 bottle but I only paid $25..
Now, my guess is that these perfumes are EXPIRED.. that's the only thing I can think.. where is the expiry date on a bottle?
There is a very clear answer to why perfume online is cheaper than department stores. Here's the list:
Deduct 40% for the cost of floor space in a department store – which runs about $125/month PER FOOT rental cost.
Deduct 20% more for the cost of marketing and advertising that department store.
Deduct 15% more for the labor costs of people stand around and sell it to you.
Deduct 10% more for the cost to ship the perfume to the department store.
Hope this helps you understand.
