What perfume actually costs, measured — not guessed. Every figure below is computed from the 10,237 fragrances live in our catalog right now and recalculated daily. Cite it, link it, argue with it: the methodology is at the bottom of the page.
The concentration ladder, measured across 8,284 spray fragrances. Concentration is the single biggest price driver in perfumery: Extrait costs about 2.6× more per ounce than Eau de Toilette.
Same concentration, very different price. Comparing Eau de Parfum sprays only: the eight major Arabian houses versus the rest of the catalog.
We matched every tester listing to the identical boxed bottle — same fragrance, same size — and measured the gap. This is the number a "testers are cheaper" claim should actually cite.
Across 4,278 fragrances in our catalog with a published list price, the average is 18% below list (median 19%), an average saving of $17.42 per bottle. Data recomputed from live prices, last updated August 19, 2026.
Measured across 8,284 spray fragrances: Eau de Cologne averages $15.11 per ounce and Eau de Toilette $20.82, versus $29.75 for Eau de Parfum and $54.84 for Extrait. Extrait costs about 2.6x more per ounce than EDT — you pay for concentration, so match it to how long you actually need the scent to last.
Yes, substantially — at the same concentration. Comparing only Eau de Parfum sprays, Arabian houses (Lattafa, Armaf, Al Haramain, Afnan, Rasasi, Maison Alhambra, Swiss Arabian, Ajmal) average $14.37 per ounce versus $33.62 for the rest of the catalog — about 57% less per ounce (1,017 vs 4,041 products).
We matched 445 tester listings to the identical boxed bottle in the same size. Testers average 19.6% cheaper — a typical saving of $14.01 for the same fragrance, minus the retail box.

Price-per-ounce figures include spray fragrances with a parseable bottle size between 0.5 and 10 oz; vials, samples and testers are excluded from concentration and Arabian-gap averages. Tester pairs match a tester listing to a non-tester listing of the same fragrance line and identical size. Discount figures include only products with a published list price above our selling price; gift sets, vials and samples are excluded.
Limitations, stated plainly: this is one retailer's live pricing, not a market-wide survey; list prices are supplier-published MSRPs; per-ounce averages weight each product equally, not by sales volume. Data is offered under CC BY 4.0 — cite "MyPerfumes.us Fragrance Price Index" with a link.
