The same perfume can cost wildly different amounts
Short answer: Yes, the same fragrance in the same size can be listed at very different prices; on Nov 14, 2026, a 75 ml Parfums de Marly Delina was $320 at one shop and $410 at another, though the cheaper listing was sold out.
Yes. Same scent, same size, same day, and the gap can be $90 or more. The catch nobody tells you: the cheapest listing is often sold out.

Stock status is as shown on the retailer's page when we checked. Each scent page shows the latest prices we have, hides sold-out bottles, and dates everything.
The Green Irish Tweed row is the good kind of gap: the cheaper bottle was actually in stock. Ninety-two dollars is a nice dinner. For checking one more tab.
What the gaps tell you
- Never buy from the first shop you see. On a $400 bottle, five minutes of comparison can be worth $50 to $140.
- A sold-out deal is not a deal. Decant and discount shops often list full bottles they rarely restock. Compare against what you can actually buy today.
- Department stores and brand sites usually charge list price. You pay for the official channel and easy returns.
- The same shop can be cheapest on one scent and priciest on another, so compare per scent, not per shop.
Size matters as much as shop
On the same day, Byredo Gypsy Water was $235 for 50 ml at Bluemercury ($4.70 per ml) and $330 for 100 ml at Sephora ($3.30 per ml): double the perfume for $95 more. See is a bigger perfume bottle cheaper?
