I Sniffed Out the Best Fragrance Deals at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale—But Hurry, They're S(m)elling Fast!

ICYMI, Meghan Markle is a fan of this Jo Malone scent—featuring notes of sage, sea salt and ambrette seed—and she's not the only one. Former PureWow Assistant Editor Delia Curtis tested the cologne to see what it was all about and was not disappointed. "Like a cross between a hike in California’s Redwood forest and a lengthy dip in the sea, Wood Sage & Sea Salt is a breath of fresh air," they shared in their review. They also said, "All of the notes in this combination are approachable," which makes a great everyday scent. This set also comes with both full-size and travel-size bottles, so you can easily spray it on the go.  

Another editor-approved perfume, this woody and smoky scent from Diptyque—inspired by a Parisian nightclub—has 12 hours of wear time. PureWow SEO Editor Marissa Wu also shared in her review, "The first notes are smoky and transport you to hazy late nights in the bar." Sounds sexy, non? So don't be surprised if it becomes your new go-to for date night. This on-sale set comes with a 1-ounce bottle and a perfumed cleansing hand and body gel to boot, so you can smell ravishing from head to toe.

PureWow Editorial Assistant Courtney Mason is obsessed with this Le Labo scent, which is currently trending in all five NYC boroughs (no, really, you can sniff it 'round every street corner). You can read her full review, but to put it in a nutshell, she said the eau de parfum—which features a combination of warm, woody and rustic notes, including Australian sandalwood, cedarwood, cardamom and iris—"feels nostalgic, like a forest when it rains or the crisp pages of an old library book." Just so you know, this 1-ounce bottle has a $214 total value, but you can scoop it up for just $180 right now.

There's literally a song inspired by this perfume (look it up, it's called Lotus Flower Bomb). That said, it's no wonder it has more than 700 reviews on Nordstrom alone. As one shopper swoons, it's "clean, feminine and brings so many lovely compliments, not overpowering yet long-lasting." Also, vanilla perfume is currently trending, and this fragrance not only has notes of vanilla and patchouli but also sambac jasmine and centifolia rose. With this beauty exclusive, you'll get the full-size diamond-grenade-shaped bottle and two travel-size sprays for under $145.

If there's any designer scent you should consider scooping up during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, it's this one from Tom Ford. Not your average cherry fragrance, this sultry scent has notes of vanilla, tonka bean, cinnamon, plume and bitter almond combined with black cherry, sandalwood, cloves, cedar and patchouli. A happy buyer wrote that it's "one of the best perfumes out there," and you won't just get a luxurious 1.7-ounce bottle of it, but also a travel spray so you can smell like a snack on vacation and beyond.
