Asian hubs lead on fragrance
Incheon and Changi price 100 ml designer bottles below the European terminals we track, driven by intense competition between Korean and Singaporean operators.
Paris can win on French houses specifically, where local distribution keeps prices tight, but rarely across the whole shelf.
Check the size, not the label
A 100 ml eau de parfum and a 100 ml eau de toilette are not the same product. Concentration differences explain a lot of apparent bargains.
Gift sets are the actual saving
Airport-exclusive twin packs and travel sets are where duty free beats home retail by the widest margin, because there is no domestic price to compare against.
