Shopping is an art, a skill I’ve mastered after years of scrolling, adding to (and subtracting from) my cart, and testing different products for a living. That said, word of advice for those gearing up for the holiday shopping olympics? Start now. Waiting until Black Friday, which falls on November 28 this year, to comb through dozens of pages, only to be left with crumbs, is a heartbreak I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. Instead, it’s the weeks and days leading up to the major discount day that matter the most, where you can score early deals on every category, especially fragrance.

Gifting fragrance doesn’t have to be hard, especially if you opt for perfume gift sets—which offer an eau de parfum, and sometimes a lotion or shower gel—or trial-sized versions of popular scents. Most times, you can even nab a buzzy, internet-favorite perfume at a majorly discounted price you wouldn’t usually discover any other time of the year. It all comes down to knowing the best places to shop to get more bang for your buck, and everyone’s favorite retailers have already begun setting the right scene.

Right now, Ulta is offering up to 30 percent off select fragrances until November 17. The annual Sephora Savings Event wasn’t the only time you could save, as several perfumes are still up for grabs in the sale section. These deals will likely disappear soon to make way as we inch closer to Black Friday, so shop these fragrances while supplies (and discounts) last. Ahead, the best fragrance deals we found at Ulta, Sephora, and Nordstrom.
