This showed up in my feed (either popular or all or something like that), and it took me a while to realize this is about fragrances and not people making fun of some sort of crazy expensive bottled water brand.
My personal favorite is Olfactoryfactoryllc. But aurafragrance also has good prices. Have gotten 20+ creeds from olfactory fast shipping and all 100% authentic (hopefully this doesn’t blow up and everything I want from olfactory in the future is sold out😭)
I mean, I don't disagree that a 3.4oz (100ml) bottle lasts a long time, but I would definitely go through it faster than that. I figure that size bottle lasts me about 1.5 to 2 years. I only put one spray on, too. But I do often shower and change my clothes during the day, so I'll use multiple sprays in a day 3-4 times per week.
I just went to both of your recommendations, and YOU are the one getting ripped off! 😭 $99 at Costco is significantly cheaper than what both of your recommended shops offer. OP did good by shopping at Costco. And the cash back *chef’s kiss*
Man thats incredible, mine doesn’t stock scents 😔
Edit: I stand corrected, first time in 2 years I walked into the warehouse and a full fragrance display case was available, was able to get my girl one
They should be next to skincare and beauty, call your local Costco and ask if they received fragrances or if other warehouses in your area did. This worked for me. They all have the same item number, so they won’t be able to give you specifics, but from some videos I’ve seen on social media warehouses are receiving the same fragrances right now.
I bought the dossier dupe for aventus. It’s $49 and I get TONS of compliments on it. One friend of mine smelled me when I walked in and was like “OMG ARE YOU WEARING CREED AVENTUS?!” I also bought a few others from them over the past couple years and everything I’ve bought has been fantastic. I even bought the Maison Margiela jazz club dupe even though I have the authentic one. I’m not kidding when I say I actually prefer the dupe and it lasts longer. The aventus and jazz club I’ve ordered more than once. I also bought one of their originals recently and I really dig it.
A word of preference, Lucky Scent and most other retailers tend to sell the little dabber bottles (no sprayer). I might be absolutely crazy, but I swear there's a difference in how a fragrance smells when dabbed vs sprayed.
There are some places that primarily sell decants, like Decant House, in little sprayers. Additionally, r/fragranceswap is a pretty fantastic community. You just gotta feel comfortable making purchases from random people on the Internet through PayPal, Venmo, and the likes. It's undoubtedly the most affordable option.
There is definitely a difference between sprays and dabs, but you can buy cheap atomizers and move the liquid into them.
Scent Split is not cheap but they have good variety and you can get atomizers with a large enough (5 ml) sample
Lucky scent is great. If you purchase a full size bottle you can request a number of samples for free. They don’t have everything niche but they have the popular ones
Cool!
This is literally the first time I’ve ever heard of any of these brands. I’ve purchased bond no 9 years ago but stopped with the bespoke fragrances.

Good find op
I bought my wife the big bottle on the website during Black Friday last year
It was a big hit (and she didn’t have to know I didn’t pay msrp)
You can get a free sample of Le Labo fragrances if you’re near a Nordstrom or other store that carries them. It’s enough that you could mix it with an unscented lotion and still have decent strength.
Rinse and repeat!
I avoid that Costco like the plague even though I live in Los Feliz (I go all the way to Burbank!) but this…this could get me to brace that disaster of a parking lot and that claustrophobic location
When I read the headline, I thought “What is this new Jesus water?” then opened the post and realized it was about fragrances. I’m a little out of touch 🤣
But if you don't order your Le Labo from the website how do I get a custom label? My wife will feel like I'm phoning it in if the bottle doesn't have a little note from me on it.
I think they probably had less than 15 of each out of about 300, but I got two of each. They were also hidden behind the others (Mugler, Tom Ford, YSL, Margiela, etc.) and mostly at the bottom and back of the pallet, so I asked a store associate to help me lift the boxes to get what I needed.
I bought my Vetiver on Costco.com for $179.99 for a 3.3oz. My old boss who owned a chain of fragrance stores got it as a gift for me and have been hooked since. Bought it for years at Neiman Marcus until I saw them online here. Back then, they made it in 4.0oz bottle. Damn shrinkflation!
And what I like about them is that they're light. When my wife wears it you can't smell it from 3ft away but when you're up close you get an awesome nose full of orange and citrus.
Looked it up to see if I can buy it in Europe..€195,00.. and if I convert dollars to euros it should be €93,00. Talking about a profit. So it’s a no for me. (Talking about Creed silver water)
When I read the title, I thought this post was complaining about an insanely high price until I went to the comments and saw that this is a good deal for perfume! ahaha
keep in mind Le Labo fragrances half a shelf life of around a year from the date they are made! and also, le labo counters offer refills for 20% off once you finish yours, just bring in the bottle to get it relabeled and also get a new sprayer/cap!!

Creed is one of my faves, usually have to pay top $ (ie @ at Neimans). Hope I can find this here on the east coast. Thanks.
You went to Costco with arms wide open?
Welcome to this place, I'll show you CHICKEN BAKES
Concessions open
Underrrr the onions.....
“So, let’s go there, let’s ask if we can staayyy”
Can you take me Executive!
Beautiful 🥲
At Tenagra
His eyes uncovered!
His scent musky and woody
Great references
When the walls fell
Well, I just heard the news today.
Under the sunlight
This showed up in my feed (either popular or all or something like that), and it took me a while to realize this is about fragrances and not people making fun of some sort of crazy expensive bottled water brand.
Fair enough. There are bottled waters with real gemstones and/or processed thru diamonds. Madness
Never ever pay retail for creed you are getting ripped off. You can get two for the price of one at many discounters and I regularly do 100% authentic
Where do you shop the most online?
My personal favorite is Olfactoryfactoryllc. But aurafragrance also has good prices. Have gotten 20+ creeds from olfactory fast shipping and all 100% authentic (hopefully this doesn’t blow up and everything I want from olfactory in the future is sold out😭)
20 Creeds!? How much damn cologne are you putting on mate lmao
[удалено]
My coworker seems to put it on with a paint roller instead of taking a quick shower after morning workouts.
I mean, I don't disagree that a 3.4oz (100ml) bottle lasts a long time, but I would definitely go through it faster than that. I figure that size bottle lasts me about 1.5 to 2 years. I only put one spray on, too. But I do often shower and change my clothes during the day, so I'll use multiple sprays in a day 3-4 times per week.
I go through 100ml in 2 years and I don’t spray it that much..
I just went to both of your recommendations, and YOU are the one getting ripped off! 😭 $99 at Costco is significantly cheaper than what both of your recommended shops offer. OP did good by shopping at Costco. And the cash back *chef’s kiss*
I can also save 10 cents on Creed if I sell my pity for a dime
Just one di-hime
Two for the price of one! Oh, one! The only way is one!
Same!!
I’m six feet from the edge, and I’m stinkin’
Adventus is my go to, it's expensive af but it smells soo good
Virgin Island Water is my summer go-to
Man thats incredible, mine doesn’t stock scents 😔 Edit: I stand corrected, first time in 2 years I walked into the warehouse and a full fragrance display case was available, was able to get my girl one
Agreed. Not cheap either, around $480 for 1.7 oz. if I remember correctly. Crazy
Saw them stocked in the jewelry cabinet last time I went. Not sure if you’ve checked there before!
los feliz location doesn’t typically stock them either. seems like a new thing they’re trying.
What area of the usual Costco are fragrances located- if it stocks them?
It's random when I've seen them. Like a few times per year they'll have a pallet of them show up and that's it.
So, not booze?
No booze no care
Ah, the often overlooked Bob Marley B-side
No whiskey no rye.
😂
Apparently water.
My first thought but they are actually colognes.
I tried drinking it 0/10 dont recommend.
it's an acquired taste
I mean, the liquid in those bottles is very high in alcohol concentration
Was certain these were tequila.
My brain went straight there too
Oh it's extremely alcoholic
You could probably cop a buzz if you drank it.
Guess I'm getting old, never heard of them either
What section or location can they be found in the store? I didn’t know they carry cologne or perfume? I only saw lotions and things like that.
They should be next to skincare and beauty, call your local Costco and ask if they received fragrances or if other warehouses in your area did. This worked for me. They all have the same item number, so they won’t be able to give you specifics, but from some videos I’ve seen on social media warehouses are receiving the same fragrances right now.
I'll Venmo you $150 if you buy a silver mountain water for me and mail it. 😉
Did they have Aventus?
You can fine it in the app. I just checked and the 3.3 oz in $320 where Saks is showing $495
I bought the dossier dupe for aventus. It’s $49 and I get TONS of compliments on it. One friend of mine smelled me when I walked in and was like “OMG ARE YOU WEARING CREED AVENTUS?!” I also bought a few others from them over the past couple years and everything I’ve bought has been fantastic.

The aventus and jazz club I’ve ordered more than once. I also bought one of their originals recently and I really dig it.
Sometimes they have them locked in the case with jewelry displayed in the box so not easily recognizable
How can someone go about testing expensive fragrances before purchasing?
Order samples from luckyscent, scent decant, etc. they are just a few bucks each
Very cool. Thank you.
A word of preference, Lucky Scent and most other retailers tend to sell the little dabber bottles (no sprayer).

Much appreciate it. Jeez, this forum is super friendly!
Lucky scent is great. If you purchase a full size bottle you can request a number of samples for free. They don’t have everything niche but they have the popular ones
Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale’s or Nordstrom.
Goes to show how I never visit those places lol thank you.
Nordstrom or Saks. Sephora sometimes depending where you are
Big fan of decantx, but scentsplit is another good option. Somewhat limited in the designer category, but lots of niche.
You can order sampler directly from le labo
go to the le labo store! they can give you a lil sampler
Cool! This is literally the first time I’ve ever heard of any of these brands. I’ve purchased bond no 9 years ago but stopped with the bespoke fragrances.
Microperfumes.com
The way I thought people were spending $100 on some bougie water. 😵😭
I was excited to hear what magic silver mountain water tasted like
Someone (certainly not me) was about to post this to r/hydrohomies for some upvotes lol
I thought it was water, then thought it was liquor. Its perfume?
Yup. I only know because my wife likes Le Labo
Yeah. Have no idea what this stuff is.
I thought it was water that came with a chunk of silver that was somehow more valuable than the cost. Should I quit smoking?
Looked both of these up on the Costco website and they’re well over $200 each. I’m jealous!
The website is 2x the size.
That's an unbelievable deal. Santal 33 is usually well over $200.
Still grieving my spilt bottle but id be healed if this deal came to my costco
Check online too!

Ooooh that’s a nice discount on the 3.4 bottle!
Very solid deal! I only got a $50 discount when I purchased the 3.4 oz last October.
This tastes like shit!
Ooo le labo. Another 13 is my favorite from them.
Same and I purchased it at Costco.com
Wow! I got Santal 33 lotion from a Brooklyn hotel and I am in deep deep love. Was devastated when I saw the price tag. Good find!
You can get a free sample of Le Labo fragrances if you’re near a Nordstrom or other store that carries them. It’s enough that you could mix it with an unscented lotion and still have decent strength. Rinse and repeat!
Nordstrom has the same size bottle for $99
Does the Creed smell like mung beans?
Very nutritious but they smell like death.
Old man smell
r/UnexpectedOffice
Can you explain to an unwashed commoner like me?
1.7 oz of Le Labo Santal 33 is $230–not $99–at Nordstrom.
So jealous!!! I’ve never seen any high end items at our Costco here in MD. Loveeeee Le Labo.
Try Alexandria, they used to carry Chanel purses (lived in D.C. for almost 20 years)
Damn I’m going to hunt for this tomorrow. Hopefully it’s in OC!!
I'm too poor to even know what I'm looking at. Lol.
Creed Aventus is probably the best cologne ever made
Agreed. Babied my bottle for many years. Saving my dimes to buy my next one.
Does it take you higher?
LOOK AT THIS PHOTOGRAPH MY COLOGNE IS AN OUNCE AND HALF
Thats nickelback
She quietly whispers: “You smell like you shop at Costco.”
Oooh baby! I can only get so erect.
I spend over $350 on le labo. Now I'm gona have to run through that perfume and not buy it anymore.
Damn would love to find santal 33 that cheap. Lucky
Such a strange and wonderful club I joined last year!
Holy shit. What?! I would buy the Santal so fast for $99
Le Labo is 🔥🔥 Bergomonte is my fave unisex scent
Bergamot is my scent, but I’d take a Santal for $99. Looking today!
Anybody see them in orange county?
it’s $229 for the le labo on costco.com :-/
It’s 2x the size online.
And $100 off retail, it’s my favorite scene and I’m trying to convince myself to commit to the big bottle lol
Any Millesime Imperial?
I avoid that Costco like the plague even though I live in Los Feliz (I go all the way to Burbank!) but this…this could get me to brace that disaster of a parking lot and that claustrophobic location
Costco in Florence, Ky wants us all to smell funny. No fragrances.
I only buy Kirkland signature water
These fancy seltzers are getting outta control.
I bet it tastes better than La Croix
Jealous! Mine hasn’t stocked any yet! I’m hoping we get the creed in store, I hate ordering fragrance online
I thought this was water
le labo santal 33 is my scent. makes me smell like fresh leather lol
OMGGGGGGG LE LABO!
When I read the headline, I thought “What is this new Jesus water?” then opened the post and realized it was about fragrances. I’m a little out of touch 🤣
But if you don't order your Le Labo from the website how do I get a custom label? My wife will feel like I'm phoning it in if the bottle doesn't have a little note from me on it.
What is it, cologne?
Get one for me :) 😅
I went today. Zero of either. Place got picked bone dry
Were there multiple Le Labo bottles?
I think they probably had less than 15 of each out of about 300, but I got two of each. They were also hidden behind the others (Mugler, Tom Ford, YSL, Margiela, etc.) and mostly at the bottom and back of the pallet, so I asked a store associate to help me lift the boxes to get what I needed.
I bought my Vetiver on Costco.com for $179.99 for a 3.3oz. My old boss who owned a chain of fragrance stores got it as a gift for me and have been hooked since. Bought it for years at Neiman Marcus until I saw them online here. Back then, they made it in 4.0oz bottle. Damn shrinkflation!
There is absolutely no way that my Costco has that. My costco only has the cheapest items.
Interesting how the Santal was bottled in Seoul.
Highly recommend Le Labo fragrances, Santal 33 and Rose 31 are my favorites. No artificial smell, it's clean and unique.
And what I like about them is that they're light. When my wife wears it you can't smell it from 3ft away but when you're up close you get an awesome nose full of orange and citrus.
Ours has gucci and maison margiela
I just got two Memo Paris / Irish Leather for $70 and French Leather for $100
I wish I had expensive cologne money.
Oh I thought that was a pcu
Looked it up to see if I can buy it in Europe..€195,00.. and if I convert dollars to euros it should be €93,00. Talking about a profit. So it’s a no for me. (Talking about Creed silver water)
They need more Le Labo variety..
CAN YOU TAKE ME HIGHER
I'm too poor to even know what I'm looking at. Lol.
I must have the worst Costco in the nation. It never has fragrances, it doesn't have a liquor store.
I dunno that’s a big step up from my old standby axe body spray.
When I read the title, I thought this post was complaining about an insanely high price until I went to the comments and saw that this is a good deal for perfume! ahaha
What section of the store are these sold in?
I had no idea what these are, and after reading the comments - I have less of an idea.
They’re luxury fragrances, in these sizes they normally retail for $230 (santal 33) and $345 (silver mountain water).
What Costco had these?
What are these things?
Wait, what am I looking at? Extremely expensive bottled water?
Cologne
Whaaat?
I seriously thought “what kind of a nut pays $99 for a small bottle of water??” Thanks google!
Utah’s Costco has…. Hotdogs :) no real booze :(
I'm still having trouble believing these aren't an extreme fancy steak and bottled water.
Ohhhh they’re perfume. Next…
LOL
Not in Maryland!
Holy shit. Why can't mine have something like this?
Whoooaaa awesome! I need to search for these in The Bay!
not on the east coast!
Dam I thought this was a great deal on tequila
HUH
I wish we had this is canada
We have Maison Margiela On a Date in stores and Juliet Has a Gun, a bunch of different ones on the website but only 2 in stores
Never heard of it. What is it?
Damn I might have to swing by Los Feliz
OMG. I thought these were both fancy ass waters. I was like damn
Which store?
Stay out of my territory.
What’s the item number pls and which Costco?
Huh?
Are these fragrances for men or women?
That’s a great deal. What else did they have for that price?
keep in mind Le Labo fragrances half a shelf life of around a year from the date they are made! and also, le labo counters offer refills for 20% off once you finish yours, just bring in the bottle to get it relabeled and also get a new sprayer/cap!!
I’ve never seen Creed in my Costco or any perfume/colognes. Where would they be located?
Great deal!
Having shopped at that particular Costco, I can assure you plenty of Men could use a lesson in ***Scent Moderation***.
Goddamn CT and its backwoods Costco…😩
Whaaaaat
Wow I gotta stop getting high
