This is the first time that I ever really questioned why Fragrance Outlet exists at the Outlet mall or why they even call themselves an outlet. I bought Britney Spears' Fantasy perfume, and I love the bottle and I love the scent, but there was almost no percentage off on the perfumes that I saw or was interested in. In fact, the perfume was even more expensive here than it is online! I found a Paris Hilton perfume that I was told was around $90 or something like that including tax, when I found the same perfume online for $42! Make that make sense.
I used to enjoy coming here a lot more when I was younger and when the perfumes were reasonably priced. Even the Disney Princess perfumes for children had been priced ridiculously. I suppose one could say that inflation has been a problem, but that seems like a crazy excuse and a huge reach for the upcharge. Maybe I just don't know what an outlet is, maybe the definition of outlet has changed, I don't know. I'm not impressed.
The last perfume that I bought here was a Katy Perry perfume for around $30 a few years ago. The Britney Spears Perfume was $60. Man have times changed, and not for the better. read more
