Blossom’s selected 50ml comparison uses its published £22.95 reference price. Current offers may change the amount paid. This normal/reference-price comparison does not claim Luxaro is cheapest today or across every basket.
Volume-adjusted result: AW Scents: Luxaro is £0.01 higher or £0.99 lower per 50ml; Blossom Perfumery: Luxaro is £6.05 higher per 50ml; Perfume Parlour: Luxaro is £9.99 higher per 50ml; The Essence Vault: Luxaro is £2.92 higher per 50ml. The equivalent per 50ml is an arithmetic comparison, not a price for buying a bottle size that the brand does not offer.
How the prices are calculated
Delivered total = selected bottle price + standard delivery. Delivered equivalent per 50ml = delivered total ÷ bottle volume × 50. Delivered equivalent per 100ml = delivered total ÷ bottle volume × 100.
Luxaro: £29.00 + £2.99 = £31.99 for 50ml; equivalent per 50ml: £31.99.
AW Scents: £28.99 + £2.99 or £3.99 = £31.98 or £32.98 for 50ml; equivalent per 50ml: £31.98 or £32.98.
Blossom Perfumery: £22.95 + £2.99 = £25.94 for 50ml; equivalent per 50ml: £25.94.
Perfume Parlour: £18.00 + £4.00 = £22.00 for 50ml; equivalent per 50ml: £22.00.
The Essence Vault: £14.99 + £2.45 = £17.44 for 30ml; equivalent per 50ml: £29.07.
Selected examples compare the stated bottle sizes. Larger bottles, including competitors’ 100ml options, may have a lower unit price. Visit the relevant brand’s website for current larger-size prices and delivery options. Bundles, temporary offers and express services may change the comparison.
03 / THE FIVE FRAGRANCES
The five fragrances
1. Luxaro Botanical Praline — Top Pick
Botanical Praline is our choice for shoppers who value a fragrance made in Grasse, France, with its own published 18% concentration and online ingredient list. Its product page keeps ingredients separate from scent notes, so you can check both before buying.
Try the included free 2ml sample before opening the main bottle. If it is not your choice, the sealed, unopened main bottle can be returned within 30 days, subject to our refund policy.
The selected 50ml bottle is £29.00 plus £2.99 Royal Mail standard delivery, giving £31.99 delivered. See Botanical Praline for the full scent description and current ordering options.
2. AW Scents Inspired By La Vie Est Belle - 66 BEAUTIFUL SOUL
An Extrait de Parfum option with 50ml and larger formats. The selected product does not publish an individual concentration percentage in the checked page text. Its product page describes UK blending. Standard-delivery wording differs from its dedicated policy, so both resulting totals are shown.
3. Blossom Perfumery 168 | Inspired by Belle Vie
A lower-price 50ml option on the published reference-price basis, with other sizes available. Its product FAQ and About page give different concentration statements. We have not confirmed an exact percentage for this fragrance. The checked product page lists scent notes, which are different from a full ingredient list.
4. Perfume Parlour Life Is Beautiful For Women - 1287
The selected format is its 50ml EDP Spray, rather than perfume oil or Extrait. It also offers other formats and sizes, which may suit a different budget or application preference. An exact concentration percentage and an ingredient list were not found in the checked product-page text.
5. The Essence Vault Inspired by La Vie Est Belle - 144
Its selected 30ml spray has a lower upfront bottle price and costs £17.44 delivered using Evri standard delivery. Use the equivalent cost per 50ml to compare volumes. Its larger 100ml option can work out differently; check its current product and delivery prices.
04 / A CONSIDERED CHOICE
Reasons behind our top pick

Reasons behind our top pick
Why we prefer Luxaro Botanical Praline
Where another option may suit you
Made in Grasse, France, with our manufacturing statement available to read.
18% stated for this product, rather than only a brand-wide range.
Published ingredients, separately from scent notes.
Included free 2ml matching sample to try before opening the main bottle.
£31.99 delivered for 50ml using Royal Mail standard delivery.
Blossom Perfumery, Perfume Parlour, The Essence Vault have a lower equivalent delivered cost per 50ml on the stated basis.
Other bottle sizes, paid trial sizes, formats or more flexible return conditions may suit your needs. Check each retailer’s current terms.
Our top pick reflects that combination of buying features. French manufacture does not prove better fragrance quality than UK manufacture. Concentration alone does not establish longevity, similarity or skin suitability.
05 / BEFORE YOU CHOOSE
Before you choose
Why is Botanical Praline our top pick?
We prefer its combination of Grasse manufacture, published 18% concentration, online ingredient information and included free 2ml sample. Price differences are shown above, including cheaper options where applicable. This is Luxaro’s own recommendation among the selected products.
Are fragrance notes the same as ingredients?
No. Notes describe the intended scent impression. An ingredient list gives different information about what is in the product. Botanical Praline publishes both. Where we could not find an ingredient list in a selected competitor’s product-page text, we say so; this is not an audit of its packaging or the whole website. Check the current list and packaging before purchasing. Online disclosure does not guarantee suitability for sensitive skin.
Does a higher concentration guarantee a better perfume?
No. We have not measured these formulas or tested comparative wear. An advertised range does not establish an exact figure for every bottle. Products labelled Extrait, EDP or Parfum should not be assumed to have the same percentage.
Why does Luxaro ask you to keep the main bottle sealed?
Try the included free 2ml sample first. Keeping the main bottle unopened supports hygiene, product integrity and fairness to customers buying a full, unused bottle. Our change-of-mind terms require it to remain sealed; statutory rights for faulty goods are separate. This says nothing about how another retailer handles returned stock.
How can I compare a 30ml bottle with Luxaro’s 50ml?
Use the delivered equivalent per 50ml for a volume comparison, and the actual delivered total for your cash budget. For a £14.99 30ml bottle plus £2.45 delivery: £17.44 ÷ 30 × 50 = £29.07 per 50ml, rounded to the nearest penny. It is not an actual 50ml purchase price. Larger bottles may offer different unit value.
06 / CHECK THE DETAILS
Sources and method
Researched in October 2026 using the selected products’ public pages and variant prices, plus published delivery and company information. The exact products, formats and any conflicting statements are identified above. Ingredient observations concern checked product-page text, not a packaging inspection or legal-compliance finding.
Luxaro Botanical Praline is our top pick for its Grasse manufacture, published 18% concentration, ingredient information and included free 2ml sample. Compare the delivered prices and the other brands’ advantages before choosing.
