No discount codes!! No smaller bottles! FFS

Why have so many companies stopped doing proper codes that work?? Im trying to buy my mum a £££ perfume but I cant find a code that even gets me a measly 10% off on either the Boots or Notino sites!!! Used to be a time you would always find % off codes. Ive tried all the ones you get on standard code listing websites, none work.
Incidentally why have so many perfume companies stopped doing a 50ml or 30ml version? Really pisses me off how I have to shell out for 90ml or nothing

Has anyone got a code i can try???

Ive not found a working code since the pandemic

Probably cos they all want you to use their loyalty cards and apps.

Even in their apps, no code is working. Like cpme on lads its 140 quid for this perfume, whack a girl 14 quid off maybe??

When do you need it by? And what perfume is it ?
John Lewis regularly price match up to 20% off , I always wait till they do this before buying .
but failing that , there’s a website called cheapsmells, they’re very good and I’ve used them a lot

The simple answer is they don't need to because people are paying full price. If enough people stop they'll soon be putting out offers.

Try Superdrug they are usually cheaper than Boots and if you have a points card, you can take off the points value without having to have enough to cover the full purchase - which I hate about the Boots card.

So agree about boots points, why?

What brand is it? Lots of them give discounts to blue light

ClassicalQueen · 06/08/2026 19:48

I always have good offers on my advantage card in the app. Haven’t found any other codes that work on sites for ages. They’ve all shifted to the loyalty cards. I find the boots one seems to tailor it to what you buy.

Have you checked top cashback? There's a few perfume sites on there? (And you get a £10 sign up bonus with my link 😁)

Or do you know anyone with blue light? It's not as good as it was but it's okay.

I tend to use The Perfume Shop as you can select a favourite brand and get 10% off when you buy anything from that brand. I just had a look and they have a sale on some brands right now as well.

ViaRia01 · 06/08/2026 20:06

Try boots? I signed up online for an advantage card yesterday and now, on the app, I have “20% off selected frantrance with code FRAG20”. Assume it’s the same for everyone but maybe you need to have the card…? Not sure. Worth a look though?

I can only assume, so we keep returning.

Which perfume? I think someone will be able to find you at least 10% off.

WHat about All beauty? The 90ml is £97.30.

Also you get 20% off as a new customer on most brands, Shalimar might be one of them.

Thats a good shout but Im looking for Shalimar Souffle not the standard Shalimar 😔
Hopefully that hack will work nicely for someone else though!

86PTTVC69JRG4 works at The Fragrance Shop to bring it down to a ‘bargain’ £116.

Nb. You sometimes have to try adding the code a couple of times because it tells you it’s not valid the first time 🤔
