Wholesale perfumes are usually only accessible by traders and perfume outlet owners, usually buying in bulk. This is not something that a regular member of the public can perform and so those bargain prices for wholesale perfumes and wholesale beauty products remain out of reach. Just a little research on the internet can however reveal some real bargains that sometimes match those wholesale perfume prices. If you're smart and gather some orders amongst friends you can really capitalize on offers by shipping to one address and saving that way too.

Before you start your research it's probably worthwhile revisiting the different grades of perfume - it can seem a bit confusing without a doubt! There seem to be 3 general categories of ladies perfumes:

 Eau de Toilette (EDT) sometimes known as Cologne. This usually contains between 3% - 7% of perfume oil concentrate, the balance being made up of alcohol and water, with a little dye sometimes put into give some color.

 Moving up in terms of quality and cost, there is Eau de Parfum which usually contains 8%-13% of perfume oil. This appears to be the most popular as it provides a good balance between cost and also the length of time the fragrance lingers on our bodies.

 Top of the range is Perfume, or Parfum. With typically 15%-22% of perfume oil concentrate, the product is generally used for special events as the price can be quite high, even at the discounted price of wholesale perfumes.

While ladies perfumes undoubtedly dominate the market, in the last dozen years approximately sales of men's fragrances have steadily grown. A typical perfume outlet will look after both.

Fragrances often leads the pack so far as wholesale beauty products are concerned, but significant sales can be seen in the Bath & Body products, Gift Sets, Hair and Makeup sectors too.

Be VERY sure that when you are buying at wholesale perfumes prices that they are original designer fragrances, not cheap imitations known as 'knock-offs'. Purchasing in this way makes a lot of sense - you will look and feel just great... enjoying 'luxury for less'.

Top tip: the optimum time to apply perfume. Perfume oils are absorbed easier on your warm skin just after you have had a bath or shower and the fragrance tends to last much longer. Best places to place it are on your underarms, on your wrists, and either side of the neck. Avoid spraying perfume in your clothes as you may well leave stains that are hard to remove. Always avoid spraying perfume on your jewellery; it can easily become discoloured as a result of doing that.

So intend to take advantage of wholesale perfumes by researching the grade of perfume you want after which hunting down bargains on the web.
