Shopper reveals secret trick to nab Black Opium perfume for just £5.99 from Superdrug – and it really couldn’t be easier
IF you’ve got expensive taste when it comes to perfume but not the bank balance to match, then we’ve got some good news for you.
That’s because a savvy shopper named Hannah has revealed the secret trick to getting pricey perfumes for as little as just £5.99 – and it really couldn’t be simpler.
Taking to money-saving Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, she shared a snap of the easy refill perfume pod she purchased from Superdrug for just £5.99.
Alongside the image, she penned: “Finally got my hands on one.
“Filled with Black Opium Extreme.”
A 50ml bottle of the popular YSL perfume retails at £88 – meaning beauty fans can save themselves whopping £82 by purchasing the refill bottles instead.
However, Hannah continued: “Lady told me they can only fill them if the testers are half full or more and also said you can only fill ONCE (when purchasing).
“And, you can only fill from bottles where the sprayer will come off- so for example you can’t fill from the majority of Paco Rabbane’s.”
Another major bonus is that the ‘perfume pod Ice,’ which can hold around 65 sprays of your favourite fragrance, is a small, lightweight, travel-friendly 5ml atomiser and is approved for aircraft travel.
It wasn’t long before the post racked up several likes and comments from intrigued beauty fans up and down the country.
“Have always wondered how these work with people getting perfume in them,” wrote one.
Hannah replied: “I forgot to mention the other thing she told me!
“You’ve just reminded me actually.
“You can only fill them from bottles where the spray lid comes off.
“And then you but the little stick thing in the bottom of your refill and pump it in. Bit like refilling a lighter.”
A second asked: “How does it work with purchasing? Do you buy it and then they let you fill it with a tester perfume free of your choice or do you buy it, take it home and fill yourself.”
Hannah responded: “Exactly – the filling from a tester bit…lol I’ve only just woke up I only read the first bit of your comment.”
A third chimed in: “Sorry to jump on post but boots also do a lot better perfumes but slightly more expensive I think £6.99 or £7.99.”
