How we picked and checked

We shortlisted shops in Singapore that sell perfume in store and online, plus the two perfume-making studios most people book, then read every price, offer and opening time on each brand's own website on 31 October 2026. Scentopia's prices come from its own booking widget. Offers change fast in the run-up to 11.11 and Christmas, so check the shop's page before you go.

How to choose where to buy perfume

  • You know the bottle they want: Sephora or Metro. Compare the two, since Metro's 15% off Beauty can beat Sephora's points on a big designer set.
  • You want something less common: escentials, where Byredo, Amouage and Frédéric Malle sit side by side. Try it on skin in store before you commit to a $300 bottle.
  • You are on a budget: Scent by SIX's Eau de Parfum from $36 or its $36 Discovery Set.
  • You want an experience, not a bottle: Scentopia on Sentosa or Maison 21G at Duxton Hill. Book ahead for December weekends.

Perfume gifting tips

  • Buy the discovery set first. If you are unsure of their taste, a sampler set lets them pick the full bottle later.
  • Watch 11.11. Big beauty retailers usually run their deepest fragrance offers around 11 November, so wait if the gift can.
  • Keep it cool. Store perfume away from sunlight and heat; a Singapore car or a sunny windowsill ages a scent quickly.
