Thanks! I’m on mobile so copies and pasted my previous version, but seems to be updated now! :-)
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing!
never trust the milk man with your wives guys :D

ACQUA DI GIÒ 150ml refill for $65 is pretty crazy
Plus shipping
Wasn’t that the edt version?
150ml refill for $65 is EDP, whereas 150ml for Parfum is $84 (+ shipping cost).
Which one is better?
@HamBoi69: EDP is the successor to the OG EDT, whereas Parfum is closer to Profumo.
Depends on your use cases, but can't go wrong with either one. Personally, I went for the Parfum since I have an EDT already.
@NotaSpender: I have heard there is a 2023 and 2024 version of the parfum but there wasn't a clear indication to show the version. Do you know what version it might be?
@HaydosK: Yeah, you're right, there's two version 2023 and 2024, and apparently the 2024 is closer to Profumo than the 2023.
Also, the 2024 packaging (official Armani site) should have “GIORGIO ARMANI” below the word “PARFUM”.
Whereas, the $84 150 ml Parfum refill looks like the 2023 version, since it doesn’t have “GIORGIO ARMANI” printed under “PARFUM.”, but I still hope the one delivered will be the 2024 version haha.
You can see the difference here:
2024 (official Armani site): https://ibb.co/1YTCVDSm
2023 (L’Oréal Friends & Family): https://ibb.co/mFFxx1K3
@NotaSpender: Ah yes I did see that. It just seems to be marketing images though. They don't seem to sell that bottle. See even on the same site they have it without it on there. I guess they don't make refills for the new one?https://www.giorgioarmanibeauty.com.au/fragrances/mens-fragrances/acqua-di-gio-mens-fragrances/acqua-di-gio-parfum/ww-00746-arm.html
@HaydosK: Another way to tell is by the bottle sizes:
The 2023 version came in 40, 75, 125, and 150 ml (refill).
The 2024 version comes in 30, 50, 100, and 200 ml.
Though I’m not 100% sure if the 2024 version also has a 150 ml refill :'(
@NotaSpender: I hope it's good. I got it based on recommendations for the 2024 version 😭. I dont have a refillable bottle and I got the wrong version. This is why Im not a fragrance guy. Too much work 🤣.
@HaydosK: Honestly, from what i know, the 2024 is just incense amped up, making it more similar to Profumo. But since you're not a fragrance guy, you might not care as much and like them equally. It's a bargain at this price regardless of versions. Also, get yourself a perfume bottle on Aliexpress, then you're golden. All the best :')
@NotaSpender: Thanks. I just get anxious about this stuff haha. I am hoping to get some bottles from AliExpress but they banned by account so Im trying to get them to reactivate it. Kinda annoying.
@NotaSpender: Just got it today. It's definitely 2023 but I feel that's fine. Will definitely check it out when my bottle arrives. Thanks for the help
Wow that’s insanely cheap! How did I miss that!
For those that don't have an original bottle to refill, are there any workarounds?
yes mate.you can just unscrew the cap of the refill and pour it into any bottle.
If you use an old perfume bottle, reckon the old perfume smell will taint the new perfume?
You just pour it into another bottle, or use a syringe if that’s easier.
Saw those!
The LRP products are cheaper when on sale at Priceline , CW or Amazon fyi to those thinking about them.
That’s what I’m most surprised about, being able to get a prada mascara thats on deeper discount that a LRP serum. But then again, beauty margins are wild.
Yeahhhh LRP is pretty wildly variant between sales.. LRP direct is always having '25% off' sales but that's full price.. Which for my toleraine sensitive creme is like 40 bucks, so 30 bucks.. Which is still 50% higher than what I'll get it on a S&S at Amazon during a real sale (20 bucks). Sadly I've tried many other moisturisers and it's the only one that doesn't make my skin go overboard with over-oiling to compensate for dryness whilst also keeping the skin moisturised.. Was recommended by my dermatologist too and has worked for years.
$64 for a 100ml + 15ml travel Acqua di Gio EDT gift set. Looks to be the new refillable bottle too. Amazing value considering CW sells the 100ml non-refillable bottle on its own for $140.
Yeah travel kit instantly sold out :( was in my cart and entered my details to slow
Aren't the refills better value?
Absolutely, providing you already have a refillable bottle as they've only been around for a year or so. This deal would be about the cheapest way to get one, to then use refills in the future.
Do you know where you can find the refillable ones? Also do you know how to check if they are refillable.
@HaydosK: Most retailers only sell the refillable now. Non-refillable is old stock. Yeah the refillable ones are transparent at the bottom not frosted, say Giorgio Armani at that same point, and have a GA embossed logo on the top of the cap.
@Democracy Manifest: Oh. So that means I bought a refill for my bottle that's not refillable? Great. Can I swap the bottle or something or do I have to overpay just to get a new bottle 😭
@HaydosK: Following.. as I’m unable to find an alternative refillable bottle, except by purchasing a branded perfume bottle and using that in the future.
Also, is the 15 ml travel bottle refillable?
As far as I know, the new EDP bottles are refillable and compatible with the updated nozzle type.
@deemax33: I think Im going to buy a clone bottle and a travel atomiser on AliExpress. Lmk if you want to know what's ones I'm going to buy.
My partner told me YSL lip balms are never on sale and always excluded from discounts at other retailers. It’s worth grabbing a few if your favourite shade is available.
Shein.

What's the code to access?
LOREAL_NOV2025
🙄🙄 Thanks
I didn’t neg you btw. Offset it with my upvote
Is there any way to get an access code without already having an account?
Inhad no intention to buy any but ended up spending $200 to purchase 5 😞
Should have spent $250 to get free shipping
Slightly better selection than last time, secured some xmas gifts - thanks!
Bought 2 bottles of Maison Margiela “From the Garden”, one for me, one for a Christmas gift. I bought a bottle on the last sale and love it.
Ahh lucky! Fragrance is nice but was after the candle- in my basket and took too long searching to get free shipping 😂 enjoy!
Does Mecca stock From the Garden. Would love to smell it first. First time seeing it and weren’t sure if it’s worth the blind buy.
Pretty sure they still do. Bought a bottle for mil there last Christmas I think.
Thanks, got some MM perfume and a travel YSL Black Opium for work secret Santa 😊
Thanks OP, got some fragrances at pretty much half the price compared to even CW.
Tried ordering a bunch of stuff…. can add it to cart… but when you attempt to checkout … it says no stock.
Bad system….. not sure why it is letting you add to cart if there is no stock
I think items may have sold out between you adding it to cart and trying to checkout. But I can't be 100% sure.
Nah. The items still show up to be searched and added to cart…. been like that the entire day.
Like the Lancome Sets and skin care.
Oh, that sucks. :-(
Google popular French skincare and the AI list shows no brand matching for the op list. But L'Oreal is well-known to me.
Popular French skincare brands
La Roche-Posay: Known for products suitable for sensitive and acne-prone skin, especially the Cicaplast Baume B5 and Anthelios sunscreens.
Bioderma: Famous for its Sensibio H2O micellar water and other products that target oily and acne-prone skin.
Caudalie: A popular brand with products like the Beauty Elixir and the Vinoperfect Radiance Serum.
Embryolisse: Best known for its cult-classic Lait-Crème Concentré, a multi-purpose moisturizer, primer, and makeup remover.
Avene: Features products formulated with their thermal spring water, including the popular RetrinAL 0.1 Intensive Cream.
Nuxe: Well-known for its Huile Prodigieuse dry oil and the Reve de Miel lip balm.

ok?
No Aesop :(
They were acquired by L'Oreal in 2023.
Snagged some cheap make-up for the wife. She will be very happy.
Cheers OP.
The prices have gone up since previous sales?
They did.
Mugler A*Men is my fav cologne. Very hard to find now in retail
And……over $400 later. Got carried away with the perfumes for missus.
If its 4-6th why is deal expired 😔
Oh yes sorry silly me cant understand 48hrs but read november 4-6th maybe next time get dates right or say 4to 5th 11:59pm. Yes im waiting for the negative comments
Is this sale once or twice a year?
Usually it's on every quarter or so. Inventory will changed based on items that may be cosmetically damaged, discontinued, overstock and whatnot. Some sales are good, some sales are meh, it depends on what products and/or brands you're after.
anyone receive the delivery update?
No notification yet for me.
It can take a while.
Last time I ordered from their sale it was 2 weeks before it was shipped.
thx for the feedback
Last time, I ordered on September 2nd and received it on the 19th—so yeah, just be patience. 😅
And I didn’t even get a shipping notification until the parcel had already arrived… xD
Speak of the devil… I just received a shipping notification.
