How the prices are calculated
Normal product prices are used for both brands, excluding discounts, bundles, subscriptions and promotional codes. The figures are calculated examples from offers reviewed in October 2026, not current checkout quotes.
- Delivered total = normal product price + standard delivery.
- Calculated product price per 100ml = normal product price ÷ bottle size in ml × 100.
- Calculated delivered price per 100ml = delivered total ÷ bottle size in ml × 100. Calculated delivered cost per 50ml = delivered total ÷ bottle size in ml × 50. Each 50ml equivalent is rounded to the nearest penny before the difference is calculated. These are equivalents, not actual bottle or checkout prices.
Each pair compares 50ml sprays: AW Scents labels its offer extrait de parfum, while Luxaro labels its offer eau de parfum. The examples use AW Scents’ £2.99 dedicated shipping policy rate and Luxaro’s £2.99 Royal Mail standard rate. Some AW Scents product pages show £3.99 instead; the checkout charge may differ. The whole delivery charge is allocated to one bottle. Per 100ml figures are calculated equivalents, not 100ml offers.
- 11 AS I WISH: £28.99 + £2.99 = £31.98 delivered; £31.98 ÷ 50 × 100 = £63.96 calculated delivered price per 100ml.
- Sunlit Blossoms: £29.00 + £2.99 = £31.99 delivered; £31.99 ÷ 50 × 100 = £63.98 calculated delivered price per 100ml.
- 11 GINO’S REIGN: £28.99 + £2.99 = £31.98 delivered; £31.98 ÷ 50 × 100 = £63.96 calculated delivered price per 100ml.
- Aquatic Citrus: £29.00 + £2.99 = £31.99 delivered; £31.99 ÷ 50 × 100 = £63.98 calculated delivered price per 100ml.
- 11 WITH BLESSINGS: £28.99 + £2.99 = £31.98 delivered; £31.98 ÷ 50 × 100 = £63.96 calculated delivered price per 100ml.
- Smoky Chestnut: £29.00 + £2.99 = £31.99 delivered; £31.99 ÷ 50 × 100 = £63.98 calculated delivered price per 100ml.
These are selected 50ml examples, not a claim that Luxaro is cheaper across every fragrance or basket. Current offers and delivery charges may change the comparison.
AW Scents also offers these fragrances in 100ml bottles, which may have a lower product cost per ml. Visit AW Scents’ website for current 100ml prices and delivery options.
03 / ORDERING WITH CONFIDENCEDelivery, samples and returns
AW Scents’ dedicated shipping policy lists standard tracked delivery at £2.99, express at £4.99 and free tracked delivery on orders of £50 or more. Some product pages show £3.99 standard, £5.99 express and a different free delivery threshold. These examples use the dedicated policy rate; confirm checkout for your address. Luxaro’s Royal Mail standard delivery is £2.99 for one item and free on two or more. Luxaro express delivery is £5.99 for up to four items and free on five or more.
Why Luxaro asks you to keep the main bottle sealed
Try the included free 2ml sample before opening your main bottle. Luxaro requires change of mind returns to stay sealed for hygiene and product integrity: once a bottle is opened, we cannot verify whether its contents have been used or altered. We believe a customer paying for a new, full bottle should receive a full, untouched bottle. The free sample lets you explore the fragrance while preserving your main bottle’s eligibility for a 30-day return.

Your questions, answered
Is Luxaro cheaper than AW Scents?
In these three one-bottle examples, Luxaro’s calculated delivered cost per 50ml is higher by £0.01, £0.01 and £0.01 respectively. This is an equivalent-volume comparison, not a claim about every fragrance or basket. Recalculate using your selected products, address and current offers. These are selected 50ml examples using normal prices and the dedicated AW Scents shipping policy rate. Some AW Scents product pages show different delivery charges. Luxaro’s reasons to choose include its Grasse manufacturing statement, included free 2ml sample and individual concentration figures.
Are the same bottle sizes compared?
Both bottles are 50ml. AW Scents labels the selected sprays extrait de parfum and Luxaro labels its sprays eau de parfum. Calculated per 100ml prices adjust volume, not formulation, quality or performance. AW Scents also sells 100ml sizes at separate prices.
How can I try the fragrance before deciding?
Luxaro includes a free 2ml sample with your main-bottle order. Try it while keeping the main bottle sealed for an eligible 30-day return. AW Scents sells separate 2ml samples and describes one or two test sprays from the main bottle on the selected product pages. Its policy wording varies, so check the terms before opening.
What concentration information is available?
AW Scents’ FAQ claims a 20–40% range across its extrait sprays. The exact percentage for each selected fragrance is not publicly disclosed. Luxaro publishes 20% for Sunlit Blossoms, 18% for Aquatic Citrus and 20% for Smoky Chestnut on the individual product pages. These are brand statements, not independent measurements or proof of performance.
Where are Luxaro and AW Scents perfumes made?
Luxaro states development and small-batch manufacture in Grasse, France. AW Scents’ FAQ states UK manufacture and its product pages describe UK blending. A location statement alone does not establish factory ownership or fragrance quality.
Are scent notes the same as ingredients?
No. Notes describe scent impressions, while an ingredient list identifies declared substances in the perfume. We did not find ingredient lists on AW Scents’s three selected product pages when checked in October 2026.
Luxaro publishes ingredients separately from notes on each featured product page. This helps you check declared ingredients before ordering, especially if you have sensitive skin or a known ingredient allergy. It does not guarantee that a perfume will suit your skin. Always check the current list and the packaging before use.
