eBay America. Look for dealers with things like 'fragrance' in their name. Also definatley look for people with 500+ feedback (above say 95%). If there's any negatives, read why they have negative feedback. If people feel they have received a duff aftershave they will put it. Even with a $30 P&P, many still work out cheaper than buying over here or Europe. If you aren't bothered about a fancy lid then go for a marked 'Tester' which are supplied to stores for people to test. They don't come with the packaging you get when you pay full whack. I've bought 4 or 5 fragrances from the States and never had a problem. Most also ship 1 or 2 free 5ml refillable test vials aswell which are very handy for when your out on the town.

There's a fragrance I'm looking for (Creed Silver Mountain Water) but it costs an arm and a leg at the shops, so I figured I'd find a better deal online.

However, I'm pretty cautious because you can't smell the perfume online and they could just water it down for all I know. So I'm asking you guys if you've ever bought perfume online, and what website did you use?

Thanks in advance, guys!

fragrancedirect.co.uk is good (I've used it myself to get hold of the ocassional hard-to-find smelly) and Boots.com sometimes has good special offers. Amazon is also good for picking up the odd bargain. Stick with reputable dealers like these and you're guaranteed to get the real thing. For niche brands, and those like Creed who don't really like being sold online, have a look at www.lessenteurs.com

How do frangrance direct keep their costs so low. Read on money saving expert something about black markets but then I got bored and stopped reading. I ordered Acqu di gio from it and it was excellent. Fully packaged and the real deal.

Give Strawberrynet.com a go, they have had some Creed stuff in the past. If they are out of stock you can see if they can source it for you.

Good place to buy perfumes/fragrances online?

They are all pretty traditional stuff, I say you have to try one before you buy. I like Vertier but it seems that Strawberrynet don't stock that one at the moment, I think Silver Mountain is nice, but you need to check how it responds to your skin etc.
