Of to Asia soon and some friends there think that perfume is cheaper here than there, though I find it difficult to believe when you can buy a three course meal for a pound there.

Can anybody tell me how much the following perfume brands (which I've never heard of) cost in Sheffield...?

angel (it's blue in colour, apparently)

lacoste pink

dkny apple

something might have been lost in translation here, but do these names ring any bells with anybody ?

Will they normally be available at interntaional airports duty - free ?

cheers.

Sorry, but you are going to have to do a bit of homework here.

There are a number of variables involved.

Do you want Eau de Parfum or Eau de Toilette?
They also come in different sizes (volumes).
Spray or Dab?

If you do a bit of Googling you will get UK prices quite easily.

You will find them in duty free but not necessarily in all sizes. You should expect to save at least your VAT.

You may find them cheaper abroad, but not guaranteed. You should also be very careful as there are a lot of fakes out there.

Also... your limits at Customs are:

60cc (ml) of perfume
250cc (ml) of eau de toilette
