Where Can I Buy Perfume Cheaper Online in Australia in 2026?

Published: 8 October 2026 · Last updated: 8 October 2026 · Author: Aryan Gaekwad, Points and Loyalty Editor, ShopBack

You can usually buy perfume cheaper online in Australia in 2026 by comparing Myer, David Jones and Chemist Warehouse on price per millilitre for the exact same fragrance, then buying during a big sale such as Black Friday (Friday 27 November 2026) or Boxing Day (Saturday 26 December 2026). No single store is always cheapest, because each sets its own fragrance prices and runs its own events. Once you know which store wins, open ShopBack, tap the store, then check out.

Where can I buy perfume cheaper online in Australia?

The cheapest place to buy a perfume online in Australia depends on the exact fragrance, so the method matters more than any one store. Here is how to find the lowest real price:

1. Match the exact product. The same scent can come as eau de parfum, eau de toilette, parfum or a body mist, each at a different price. Compare the same name, concentration and size.
2. Work out price per millilitre. Divide the price by the millilitres. A 100ml bottle that costs more than a 50ml bottle is often cheaper per millilitre.
3. Check two or three stores on the same day. Myer, David Jones and Chemist Warehouse are the usual starting points.
4. Count only the extras you will use. A gift with purchase or loyalty reward has value only if you would use it.
5. Add delivery. A small order can attract a delivery fee, so check the total at checkout.
6. Open ShopBack, tap the store, then check out. Check the live rate and terms on that store's ShopBack page, then tap through and pay in the same session.

The category in one line. Australians shopping for perfume online usually compare Myer, David Jones, Chemist Warehouse, Sephora, Adore Beauty, Priceline Pharmacy, MECCA and Amazon Australia.

Perfume sale: how to tell a real saving

A perfume sale is only a real saving if the price per millilitre for the same fragrance and concentration is lower than at other stores on the same day. A few checks before you buy:

Check	Why it matters
Concentration	Eau de parfum usually has more fragrance oil than eau de toilette, so it usually costs more per bottle but tends to last longer on the skin.
Bottle size	Larger bottles usually cost less per millilitre. Only buy big if you will finish it.
Gift sets	A set with a full bottle plus a travel spray or body lotion can cost little more than the bottle alone, especially before Christmas.
Refills	Some brands sell refill bottles for refillable sprays, which can lower the cost per millilitre once you own the first bottle.
Sealed box	Department store change of mind returns usually need the original seal intact, so open the box only once you are sure.

A simple price per millilitre example. If a 50ml bottle is priced at A$120 and the 100ml bottle of the same fragrance at A$180, the smaller one costs A$2.40 per ml and the larger A$1.80 per ml, so the larger bottle is 25 percent cheaper per ml. These prices are only for the example; use the live prices at each store.

Perfume sale in Australia in 2026: dates to plan around

The biggest 2026 perfume sales in Australia usually land in the late November sale window and the Boxing Day sales, with department store beauty events through the year.

Event	2026 date
Black Friday	Friday 27 November 2026
Cyber Monday	Monday 30 November 2026
Christmas Day	Friday 25 December 2026
Boxing Day	Saturday 26 December 2026

Fragrance gift sets are usually stocked in large numbers before Christmas, so late November is often the best time to compare sets against single bottles. If you are buying a gift, check the store's change of mind returns window, as some stores extend it over the holidays (see Myer's policy below).

Perfume sale: best deals in Australia for 2026

The best perfume deals in Australia usually combine a sale price, a gift with purchase you would use, and a loyalty reward, not a code from a coupon site.

• Sale price. Department stores often discount selected fragrances during their big sales. Check the same bottle at two other stores before you buy.
• Gift with purchase. Myer and David Jones often run brand gift with purchase offers on beauty and fragrance when you spend over a set amount. These offers change often, so check the live offer.
• Loyalty rewards. MYER one and David Jones Rewards give members their own perks (details below).
• Codes. Avoid promo codes that are not listed on the ShopBack page you start from, as the terms on many ShopBack store pages say a code from elsewhere can stop the order from tracking. See how to find promo codes that work.

Myer vs David Jones: perfume sale price comparison for 2026

Myer and David Jones carry many of the same designer fragrances and both discount them during sales, so neither is cheaper on every bottle; compare the same size and concentration at both on the same day. What each store's own programme adds:

Myer. Myer has a Fragrance Finder on its website to help narrow down scents, and its own loyalty programme, MYER one. According to the MYER one terms at the time of writing:

• Members earn MYER one Points on eligible purchases when their membership details are provided.
• Every 1,000 points converts to a $10 MYER one Reward, unless the member picks a partner reward instead.
• Points expire two years from the date of issue if not converted into rewards.
• Up to 4 members can form a pool to combine points and unlock rewards faster.
• MY Reward Day is a member-activated shopping day to earn bonus points.

According to Myer's returns policy, change of mind refunds are offered on most items within 30 days of purchase, or until the end of January for items bought in November or December. Items must be unused, with original sealed packaging and the product seal not broken, and online orders get a refund rather than an exchange. Start from the ShopBack Myer page, and see our Myer deals guide.

David Jones. David Jones, founded in Sydney in 1838, sells designer and niche fragrances online and in its department stores, and runs its own loyalty programme, David Jones Rewards. Start from the ShopBack David Jones page before you check out.

How to choose between them: price the same bottle at both, add any gift with purchase you would actually use, and pick the store where you already collect rewards. Then open ShopBack, tap the store, and check out.

Myer, David Jones and Chemist Warehouse: perfume sale in Australia compared

Chemist Warehouse is the third store to check, and it is worth pricing against the department stores for popular fragrances. It sells a wide range of fragrances online and in store, alongside its pharmacy and beauty range. Go through the ShopBack Chemist Warehouse page before you check out.

Store	What its own offer adds	Best for
Myer	MYER one points and rewards, Fragrance Finder, brand gifts with purchase	Shoppers who collect MYER one rewards or want a gift set
David Jones	David Jones Rewards, designer and niche fragrance range	Shoppers after a specific designer or niche scent
Chemist Warehouse	Wide everyday fragrance range online and in store	Shoppers who want a quick price check on popular scents

A store's range can differ by fragrance, so if one store does not stock the exact bottle you want, compare the next closest size or concentration on a price per millilitre basis.

How ShopBack lowers what you pay for perfume

Open ShopBack, tap the store, then check out. ShopBack lowers the effective price of your fragrance order at Myer, David Jones or Chemist Warehouse after you pay.

Cashback lowers what you actually pay for an order. It comes back as cash, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles. That makes it different from MYER one points or David Jones Rewards, which you spend back at the same store. You can withdraw ShopBack cash once it is confirmed.

Illustrative example. On a A$180 fragrance order at an illustrative rate of 2 percent, A$3.60 comes back, so the effective price is A$176.40. This rate is only for the example; check the live rate on the store's ShopBack page, as rates change and some product types can be excluded.

Step by step:

1. Find the store with the lowest price per millilitre for the exact fragrance you want.
2. Open that store's ShopBack Australia page: Myer, David Jones or Chemist Warehouse.
3. Check the rate shown and read the terms, including any exclusions for fragrance, gift cards or certain brands.
4. Tap through to the store, add the perfume to your cart and check out in that same session.
5. Keep your order confirmation until the money back is confirmed in your ShopBack account.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy perfume cheaper online in Australia?

No single Australian store is always cheapest for perfume. Myer, David Jones, Chemist Warehouse, Sephora, Adore Beauty and Priceline Pharmacy each set their own fragrance prices and run their own sales. Compare the same fragrance, concentration and bottle size by price per millilitre, then open ShopBack, tap the store and check out so your effective price is lower than the shelf price.

When is the best perfume sale in Australia?

The biggest perfume sales in Australia usually run around Black Friday and Cyber Monday in late November and the Boxing Day sales. In 2026, Black Friday falls on Friday 27 November, Cyber Monday on Monday 30 November and Boxing Day on Saturday 26 December. Department stores also run beauty events and gift with purchase offers through the year.

Is perfume cheaper at Myer or David Jones?

Neither is cheaper on every fragrance. Both department stores carry many of the same designer brands and change prices during their sale events. Price the same bottle size and concentration at both on the same day, and count any gift with purchase or loyalty reward you would actually use, before you choose.

Does Chemist Warehouse sell perfume online?

Yes. Chemist Warehouse sells a wide range of fragrances online and in store, so it is worth checking against the department stores. Compare the exact same fragrance, concentration and size, and check delivery costs before you decide.

Is eau de parfum or eau de toilette better value?

Eau de parfum usually has a higher concentration of fragrance oil than eau de toilette, so it usually costs more per bottle but tends to last longer on the skin. If you wear one scent daily, the longer-lasting version can work out cheaper per wear. Compare the two by price per millilitre and how often you reapply.

Are bigger perfume bottles cheaper per millilitre?

Usually yes. Larger bottles of the same fragrance usually cost less per millilitre than smaller ones. Divide the price by the number of millilitres for each size to check. A bigger bottle is only good value if you will finish it, so for a new scent, a smaller size or a gift set can be the safer buy.

Can I return perfume bought online at Myer?

According to Myer's returns policy, change of mind refunds are offered on most items within 30 days of purchase, or until the end of January for items bought in November or December, provided the item is unused with original sealed packaging and the product seal is not broken. Online orders get a refund rather than an exchange. Check the policy's exclusions before you open the box.

What is MYER one and does it help on perfume?

MYER one is Myer's loyalty programme. According to the MYER one terms, members earn points on eligible purchases and every 1,000 points converts to a $10 MYER one Reward unless a partner reward is chosen. Points expire two years from issue if not converted, and up to 4 members can pool points together.

How does ShopBack lower the price of perfume?

Open ShopBack, tap the store, then check out. ShopBack lowers the effective price of your perfume order after you pay. Start from the Myer, David Jones or Chemist Warehouse page on ShopBack Australia, check the live rate and terms, then tap through and buy in the same session.

Is the money back from ShopBack paid as points?

No. Cashback lowers what you actually pay for an order. It comes back as cash, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles. Once it is confirmed, you can withdraw it from your ShopBack account.
