The 2026 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Is Almost Over But the Best Fragrances Are Still in Stock
Don't worry, home scents are included, too.
The words fragrance and sale are like a bat signal to me, and when money can be saved on my favorite cosmetics, I’m going to answer the call every time. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale ends in just a few days—you still have until Sunday August 9th to shop—but some of my all-time favorite perfumes are still majorly discounted. I’m talking skin scents that I obsess over, TikTok-viral fragrances that are more than worth the hype, and even a few niche options that anyone—experienced nose or a newbie to the space—would be happy to indulge in.
Of course, fragrance isn’t just limited to the perfumes on your body. In fact, I’m on the hunt for my apartment’s new signature fall scent, and wouldn’t you know? There are candles, Puras, and diffusers that are all a part of this year’s discounted selections.
All that said, I never recommend just buying something and hoping for the best, especially if you can’t go into a store to experience it before you pull the trigger. But that’s where I come in. Not only have I scoured the sale section for the best fragrance deals worth paying attention to, but I’ve also tested each of these scents personally, so when I say they’re good, know that everything from the complexity of the notes to the sillage is next level.
Ahead, find my curated list of the best fragrance deals at the 2026 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale worth adding to your scent collection or gifting for the upcoming holiday season.

Best Citrus Fragrance
Tom Ford’s Soleil Blanc is wildly popular, but I have to admit: I think Soleil Neige is miles better. The cozy citrus scent has notes like bergamot, musk, and orange flower, but has sillage for days and will absolutely leave a scent trail behind when you walk into a room. Plus, with this set, you get a full and travel-sized fragrance for less than $200.
Review: “A very fresh and clean fragrance with a touch of sweetness in the background. It’s like laundry day but better. I wore this during the day, but it can also be worn at night and especially for date night. It’s light, crisp, and clean, non-intrusive, and can definitely be worn at the office as well. I actually really love this.” — Nordstrom
Best Discovery Set
At this point, everyone likely knows and loves Le Labo. Still, if you’re newer to the brand (or stick to your favorite scent from the line as I do), this discovery set is fantastic for deepening your knowledge of the house. In fact, I’ve found some new favorites alongside my beloved Another 13: Rose 31 and The Matcha, a skin scent floral and citrusy wood, respectively.
Review: “If I had to choose my own set, it would include these exact fragrances. It is a great assortment of great scents that can cover every occasion/whim. I have full-size bottles of 3 of the fragrances, but purchased these smaller sizes for travel. The bottles in this pack are larger than those in prior year Anniversary sale assortments. A minor detail, but the only thing I would love is if these bottles were refillable.” — Nordstrom
Best Luxury Gift Set
Maison Francis Kurkdjian is most famous for its ultra-popular scent, Baccarat Rouge 540. Whether you're a massive fan of the scent or are slowly introducing yourself to the house, this trio not only features the cult classic, but also two other scents from the line. Grand Soir is a spicy vanilla amber that is the definition of sultry, and Kurky (a 2026 Marie Claire Fragrance Award winner!) is a playful fruity musk that’s perfect for everyday wear.
Review: “I’ve tried all three of these scents and am confident that this discovery scent would delight pretty much any fragrance lover. Whether you like a sweet, airy ambergris or a playful gourmand, wearing these alone or layered with other scents is all but guaranteed to make you fall in love with this fragrance house.” — Ariel Baker, Beauty Writer
Best Rose Scent
Obsessed with smelling like a gorgeous bouquet of the most beautiful flowers? Parfum de Marly’s Delina will help you with that. A combination of Turkish rose, Lily of the Valley, and peony gives way to fruity notes like lychee and rhubarb. Once the base notes get settled on the skin, musk and cashmere give the perfume an almost creamy finish. Tack on the travel-sized version of the extrait edition of the scent that you also get in this set, and you will be the best person in any room.
Review: “I’m a flight attendant, and I get complimented on this perfume at least 3-4 times a day. It’s soft and clean. One of the nicest perfumes you can own.” — Nordstrom
Best Niche Gift Set
Continuing on the rose train, Diptyque’s Eau Rose is for people who love a more realistic floral and want it from a niche brand that most people around you would barely know about. This perfume combines damascena and centifolia roses, two of the finest floral ingredients in perfumery. This set also features the hair perfume, perfect for when you want a lighter fragrance or want to spray it in your hair for the ultimate scent bubble.
Review: “This is a gorgeous, natural rose scent. It opens green, but that subsides as it wears. At first the green note, artichoke, threw me off, but I now adore it. This is not as sweet as the EDT, but has more depth. They are different enough to warrant owning both of you like rose.”
Best Deodorant
Every beauty editor and enthusiast that I know is obsessed with this deodorant and for good reason. It’s scented with notes of the perfume that shares the same name, with Lily of the Valley, Moroccan jasmine, and sandalwood leading the charge. Plus, this set comes with three bottles, so you’ll be set on deodorant for at least a year.
Review: “I will never buy regular deodorant again. I bought this blindly and had no idea what it smelled like. I saw someone using it daily before working out, and I knew I needed to try it. I can’t express how amazing this deodorant is. It is so fresh, stays on all day, and I don’t scratch under my arms as I did with other brands' deodorants. It’s a beautiful powdery smell, and it pairs so well with my favorite fragrances. Don’t miss out on this deodorant. Buy it TODAY!” — Nordstrom
Best Home Fragrance Set
As for my home, I will use any and everything to make my space smell good. Thankfully, this Jo Malone duo features a candle and a diffuser, in my favorite scent from the line: Wood Sage and Sea Salt. It gives your space that luxe seaside vibe you'd find in any Nancy Meyers film.
Review: “My home is the hangout spot during the summer. We have visitors every weekend, and my family loves it. With all of the running in and out of the house (Kids/Dogs especially), my home will start to smell like the outside. Hot - Humid - Chlorine - No Thank You. Anytime I find an air freshener I think I like, the smell has already left within 24 hours. I am so thankful to have been gifted the Jomalone London Wood Sage & Sea Salt Diffuser. Every person who has walked into my home comments on how wonderful it smells. Sometimes I take it to my bathroom while I bathe, and it just adds to the relaxing atmosphere. I have purchased several since as gifts for family and friends. 10/10 recommend!” — Nordstrom
Best Electric Diffuser
I am obsessed with my Pura and have them all over my home. I’ve tried quite a few of the plug-in scents, but my mom is obsessed with the brand Glasshouse, and in turn, I’ve become obsessed with them too. This gift set features four of the brand’s deliciously fruity-floral scents, including one of my favorites: Kyoto in Bloom.
Review: “Literally my favorite smell on earth. Can't get enough. Sets the perfect greeting for entering a home!” — Nordstrom
