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.
All three pairs compare 50ml EDP sprays. The examples use Perfume Parlour’s published £4.00 UK postage charge and Luxaro’s £2.99 Royal Mail standard charge for one bottle. The delivered equivalent allocates the whole delivery charge to that bottle. Per 100ml figures are rounded calculations, not actual 100ml bottle or basket prices.
- Mediterranean Water - 1220: £18.00 + £4.00 = £22.00 delivered; £22.00 ÷ 50 × 100 = £44.00 calculated delivered price per 100ml.
- Oceanic Wood: £29.00 + £2.99 = £31.99 delivered; £31.99 ÷ 50 × 100 = £63.98 calculated delivered price per 100ml.
- Sweet Bliss For Women - 0190: £18.00 + £4.00 = £22.00 delivered; £22.00 ÷ 50 × 100 = £44.00 calculated delivered price per 100ml.
- Botanical Pear: £29.00 + £2.99 = £31.99 delivered; £31.99 ÷ 50 × 100 = £63.98 calculated delivered price per 100ml.
- Fresh Bloom For Women - 0315: £18.00 + £4.00 = £22.00 delivered; £22.00 ÷ 50 × 100 = £44.00 calculated delivered price per 100ml.
- Honey Blooms: £29.00 + £2.99 = £31.99 delivered; £31.99 ÷ 50 × 100 = £63.98 calculated delivered price per 100ml.
These are selected 50ml EDP examples. Perfume Parlour has the lower normal delivered price in all three; current offers and basket choices can change the comparison. Per 100ml figures are calculated equivalents.
Perfume Parlour also lists 100ml EDP options, which may have a lower product cost per ml. Visit Perfume Parlour’s website for current 100ml prices, other formats and delivery options.
03 / ORDERING WITH CONFIDENCEDelivery, samples and returns
Perfume Parlour’s postage page lists £4 UK delivery below £50 and free postage on orders over £50; the carrier depends on the order. It also lists a £10 urgent next working day service with an 11am cut off. 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. Check availability, processing times and regional conditions before ordering.
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 Perfume Parlour?
In these three one-bottle examples, Luxaro’s calculated delivered cost per 50ml is higher by £9.99, £9.99 and £9.99 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 EDP examples using normal product prices and one-bottle standard delivery. Luxaro’s reasons to choose include its Grasse manufacturing statement, included free 2ml sample and exact concentration disclosures for the featured fragrances.
Are the same bottle sizes compared?
Yes. Each pair compares a 50ml EDP spray with a 50ml EDP spray. The per 100ml figures are calculated equivalents. Perfume Parlour also lists 100ml EDP bottles and other formats, which have 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 return. Perfume Parlour sells separate 2ml EDP testers and permits used returns in its regular fragrance range. Read the terms before buying.
Which brand gives a clearer concentration figure?
Luxaro publishes 20% for Oceanic Wood, Botanical Pear and Honey Blooms on their individual product pages. An exact percentage for each selected Perfume Parlour EDP was not publicly disclosed on the product pages reviewed. Luxaro provides a more specific concentration disclosure for these three comparisons. The figures are brand claims, not independent measurements; percentage alone does not prove scent quality or longevity.
What does Luxaro’s France statement establish?
Luxaro says its perfumes are developed and made in small batches in Grasse, France, with experienced perfumers. Perfume Parlour publishes a made in the UK statement. Neither statement fully identifies the manufacture of every fragrance compound.
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 Perfume Parlour’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.
