The 30 Best Perfume and Candle Black Friday Deals to Shop Right Now
Diptyque! Jo Malone! Tom Ford!
I have a confession: I'm a bona fide fragrance snob. I have a bookshelf dedicated to displaying my (many, many) bottles, and as a shopping editor, I'm constantly testing the year's newest perfumes and luxury candles. I'll be the first to admit, however, that my favorite fragrances can get pretty pricey, which is why I almost always buy a new scent when it's on sale.
The good news: Black Friday is here. So, I rounded up the best on-sale perfumes and candles to shop ahead of the year's biggest shopping weekend. Between you and I, these are some of the best Black Friday beauty deals around, bar none.
The deals run the gamut this year, so there's bound to be something for everyone. For instance, there are light perfumes from Jo Malone London on mega sale. For those who prefer something more heady and sweet, I found some gourmand and vanilla fragrances too. I even managed to find a few discounted Diptyque candles and perfumes—a rarity in the fragrance world.
All in all, the deals I found will be some of the best Black Friday sales in beauty. Don't miss your chance to add these discounted scents to your collection—I know I won't.
Best Black Friday Perfume Deals
If you've been holding out for your favorite perfume to go on sale, you're in luck. There's cult favorite brands and scents in every fragrance category on major sale. Think Maison Margiela Replica, Tom Ford, Diptyque, Yves Saint Laurent—the list goes on and on.
Diptyque never goes on sale, so now's your chance to score a discount, thanks to Blue Mercury. All of the brand's perfumes are 20 percent off.
Jo Malone London makes perfumes for "It" girls and if you need proof, just turn to Sofia Richie Grainge's date-night scent. She layers this fresh floral perfume with the brand's Nectarine Blossom & Honey for a "summery and delicious" combo.
If I had to pick just one Maison Margiela scent to wear for the rest of my life, it would have to be By the Fireplace. The brand nailed every element of its titular memory—the warmth of the fire, the smokiness from the wood, a subtle spiciness from chestnuts. It's everything I could want in a winter perfume and more.
Not all celebrity perfume brands are made equal, but Billie Eilish's are up there on my list of favorites. This one has a unique musky scent with a touch of woodiness that's perfect for bleary winter nights.
This is another Jo Malone London perfume that comes with a celebrity stamp of approval. Model and Rose Inc. founder Rosie Huntington-Whiteley said of this favorite: "I find myself picking this up often when I'm in need of a little bit of comfort."
I've always been intrigued by the memories Maison Margiela perfumes are meant to evoke, so this set is sitting in my cart. It has samplers of all of the brand's best-sellers, including Beach Walk, Lazy Sunday Morning, When the Rain Stops, and more.
Sure, this may be a traditional summer perfume with juicy notes of bergamot, pear, and jasmine. However, you can wear it now on days you need a little extra sunshine, then wear it all summer long once the weather turns—you won't be able to find it again at this price next year.
If your M.O. is wanting to smell like a baked treat, then add this vanilla perfume to your rotation. It's got all of the sweetness you want from a traditional gourmand, but with an added depth from the amberwood and musk.
When a fragrance has nearly 16,000(!!) five-star reviews, you know it's a real winner. Reviews say it's light enough for everyday wear and has huge staying power despite being an eau de toilette. If you're a fan of soft and feminine scents, this one is for you.
I'm a gourmand girl through and through so trust me when I say Tom Ford's Lost Cherry is one of the most unique gourmands I've had the pleasure of sniffing. Its creaminess with bitter almond and dark cherry is nothing short of intoxicating.
Tom Ford's Soleil Blanc easily takes the cake as my favorite floral perfume. It's sexy and warm without being overpowering, something I never find in floral fragrances. Combined with the shimmering body oil and this gift set is a match made in heaven.
I LOVE DIRTY VANILLA! And, for me, nothing beats a travel spray for ease of use and my love of olfactory variety. Heretic's signature scent is such for a reason: it's almost universally appealing and smells good on so many people. Because it's not just vanilla, it's dirty vanilla—and who doesn't like to feel a little dirty now and again?
Can you tell I have a thing for smoky, woody scents sometimes? Tis the season, and all that. I just think everyone smells good in a warm, spicy, sensual scent, and Tom Ford's Ébène Fumé is exactly that. Plus the bit of palo santo in the top notes really just makes me feel a bit spiritual and closer to the earth (just go with me here).
Another Diptyque fragrance on the list? You'd better believe it. This one is inspired by Greek mythology and features the scent of mint.
Best Black Friday Candle Deals
Lighting a luxurious candle is a little moment of self-care that never gets old. If you're anything like me, you'll be taking all of the Black Friday sales to shop candles from Diptyque, Boy Smells, Voluspa, and more, all at a steep discount.
Diptyque's Baies candle is team Marie Claire's favorite sweet scent. It's both candied (not cloying) and sophisticated, with balancing floral notes. This one will burn in your home for up to 120 hours, and its all-black look is chic as hell.
If you want your home to smell like a Japanese zen garden, all you have to do is light this candle for a few minutes. It has notes of hinoki, moss, and guiac wood, which all combine to produce a calming effect.
Bring home the fall-ready scent of a roaring fireplace with this oh-so-pretty Diptyque candle.
Why buy one candle when you can get a set of four? There's a scent for every kind of of mood and preference from fruit fig and spicy pumpkin to cozy vanilla and earthy moss. You can even keep your favorite and give the others away as gifts.
Every year I gift myself a Lafco candle for the holidays because I, too, deserve a little something luxurious. They burn for a long time (90 hours to be exact) and every holiday scent I've tried has been to die for, including this warm woody fragrance.
If the fun shade of this jar wasn't enough to catch your attention, I'm sure its scent will. It'll transport you to a sunny tropical island with juicy fruity notes of mango, orange, peach, and apricot.
Sometimes, a chic candle like this is all you need to make a space come to life. It doesn't hurt that it also has an equally chic scent with notes of clove, ramarin, and black pepper, either.
Bring a bit of the Mediterranean into your living space this winter with a fragrance inspired by Cypress trees.
The next time you need to decompress, light this candle, close your eyes, and take a deep breath. Its therapeutic vetiver, chamomile, and sandalwood essential oils will help soothe your busy mind while releasing a grounding earthy scent.
You can transport yourself to a spa without leaving the comfort of your home just by lighting the wick on this candle. It's clean, relaxing, calming, and luxurious—everything you want a spa day to be.
For the minimalist in your life, gift them an all-black candle they'll love to put on full display. Even the wax and wick match, while the scent is a simple velvet rose fragrance.
Pretty much everyone on your holiday list would love to see a Diptyque candle under the tree. This one comes in gorgeous blue glass and is floral-scented.
Leave it to Anthropologie to create the ideal candle for both displaying and lighting. This is one I would keep on hand year-round because of its chic look and yummy vanilla scent.
I recently wore the perfume version of this out on a date, and the man I am seeing was instantly captivated. "What's that?" he said, grabbing my wrist and sniffing (which was totally hot, btw). "Cashmere Kush," I giggled in response, making a mental note to buy him the candle version for his new apartment. The big ones are usually $96, so this sale is MAJOR: they are worth every penny at twice the price.
If it weren't off-putting to most people, I would probably burn winter-scented candles all year 'round. And both scent options available in this Apotheke kit have tickled my senses when I've smelled them before. Plus the metallic vessels are a chic decor addition if you're a little dramatic and love everything in your home being a statement piece, like me.
This holiday-ready Diptyque candle is too beautiful to resist. Snag it from Bluemercury for 20 percent off during the site's Black Friday sale.
