The quality difference of what was in that store versus what's in my local TJ Maxx is chasmic! Mine is littered with Versace Blue Jeans and Beverly Hills Polo Club.
Seriously. I’ve been wandering in my local TJMaxx and Marshall’s on and off all year and it’s been the same garbage. I’m finding the same similarity with the clothing as well. I’m wondering if they’ll ever have anything decent anymore. Especially this time of year I used to find the odd Bond no.9 or something at least different or interesting. It’s a case of quantity as well. Sometimes there’s hardly anything and I’m noticing a lot more just off brand, non boxed garbage than anything else.
It takes balls to stand filming through all the fragrances. Respect! I feel self conscious having a good look through each one and Fragranta-ing my finds on my smart phone 🤣
In situations like that just remind yourself that people don't nearly care as much about you and what your doing as you might think. Always helps me ;)
I found a Boadicea the victorious in TKmaxx lakeside for £40, straight on eBay for £110 and it went towards a PDM Carlisle, aside from that I rarely find anything unless it’s around the Xmas period.
Unfortunately TK Maxx stores in Northern Ireland have a very poor selection of fragrances - its got even worse since Brexit. My only notable pick up was Loewe 001 Man about 3 years ago.....
WOW those had a lot of fragrances- Our TJ Maxx stores have very small selections. I travel a lot for work and have popped into rack stores around the country, literally hundreds of them, and have very seldom found anything worth buying... I keep trying though, lol. Great video, and Leeds looks like an awesome place to live!
Chris, nice pick up there! My local TK Maxx always has a woeful selection of frags. Having said that they did have a 50ml bottle of TF Grey Vetiver for £50 once!!
I'm so envious at your Floris find. I've bought several of their individual 10ml at full price which is £17-£20 each. To get 12 for that price is certainly a bargain!
@@dantrafford8225 Great find. I forget which ones are in there but I like 89, 127 the two Ouds and Neroli Voyage. Expect there are other good ones too. TK Maxx online had a Jermyn Street set when I'm looked yesterday that was good value. It's not my favourite so I didn't buy but would have otherwise!
Niceee. I wish we had Floris in TJ Maxx in the US. Also these have so many moreee fragrances than my local US tj maxx. But also seems more expensive than in the US...
It was interesting to see all of the fragrances in the UK TKMaxx stores in plastic pouches. In Southern California the fragrance buying is more chaotic. You can often find a gem hidden within the pile of cheap junk. I buy all of the cheap junk and the hidden gems.
Oh my lord! I love Floris...never thought of checking out the fragrance but always grab bargains. One of my finds was a Mauviel saucepan which i’d been eyeing up from the main website. Saved heaps!
Great vid mate, love a good rummage round a TK maxx. Once found 100ml SF uomo signature gift set for £9.99 - Couldnt believe my eyes!! Also 200ml Versace pour homme for £45.00. All in Bournemouth... That was a good day!
The TJ Maxx's here in southern California are NOTHING like their UK counterparts! I've never seen anything even close to such a selection as you had there. Yours are stocked more like an online discounter than a rack store!
Great find there! I would have picked that out as well...I have found several nice fragrances at the TJ MAXX...they always seem to have the most wanted ones like coolwater and nautica.. Great place to shop! Thanks for the info!
The Floris set a great pickup! Especially if those fantastic glass atomizers can be cleaned and reused after they're finished. The 50 + 10 mL of Jermyn Street would've been good too. Great freshie that one. 💚
It looks as if the range and quantity of stock varies quite a bit store to store. I did once pick up Artisan Blu, not a lot else in my store but I'm really happy with that one at least!
We've got lots over here in the DFW area. TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Ross, Burlington, Macy's Backstage, and Nordstrom Rack are some of the best shops to pick up fragrances at the same or a lower price than the online discounters.
I’m from the States and the fact you have Light Blue Forever and Nuit d’Issey readily available in your rack stores blows my mind. Nothing like that in the rack stores near me (Burlington, Ross, TJ Maxx).
I'm in the states and actually picked up a 2.5oz backup bottle of L'Eau D'Issey at my local Ross store. Same time they had a bottle of the light blue og. Had another bottle there of the D'Issey couple days ago. Last year got The One edt at same store. Usually never that lucky. Keep looking.
I've noticed that most of the good bargains are in the more affluent countries, in Poland it's always some ass Bentley for the retail price or something
In the states before the holidays the rack stores usually get some decent fragrance gift sets. Otherwise it’s pretty much luck of the draw. It pays to have someone on the inside who can tell you what days they get shipments and then get there early in the morning to get lucky.
In the states we have TJMaxx, Marshalls, Ross, Nordstrom Rack, & Burlington Coat Factory (in my area). Marshalls and TJMaxx are owned by the same company. Xmas time is great as they get lots of stuff. I haven't bought from a rack store in months cause i'm not a big spender (bought SJ Unforgivable). But last week i saw lots of finds: Dylan Blue, Toy Boy, A&F First Instinct Blue, Ck One Shock, Versace Fraiche, Armani Code Parfum, Spicebomb I think the green one. Drawing a blank on what else i saw. But Nordstrom Rack had a bunch of things. Oh saw a Prada Luna Rossa Black. I just can't afford to spend on fragrances at the moment so I used my will power and bought nothing. But there's a few i'd have gotten. Not to mention other things that are always there that i'd like to grab just to have like D&G Pour Homme and Nautica Voyage.
I love floris creations, good quality, santal is just lovely, also if you like the original vintage polo you'll love floris elite. You got some good deals there.
I liked your buy right up my street, I would have snapped it up! I got the acqua di parma one with 7 10ml bottles oud etc. I recommend checking tk max website every morning as new one always go on about 5am everyday had tom ford's on other week dirt chep and check both department (mens&women's) because always getting mixed up
TK Maxx occasionally has some gems, especially those in smaller cities where there aren't as many frag heads on the prowl. My favourite recent purchase was The Modernist for £30, which retails at £100 and is rarely less than about £80 even online. It's a nice ambery bergamot, bit unusual but very wearable. At time of writing, it's still available on the TK Maxx UK website. Other great finds included bottles from Atelier, Acqua Di Parma, and Mugler. They also sometimes have good side lines, like deodorants and soap from some of the big names.
Looks like Leeds got all the stock. I went in the one in Rawtenstall, Lancs yesterday, there were literally less than 10 things. That Floris kit looks a great find
people say the stores are empty but truth is you have to go back almost every other day because the best stuff will go the day they put it out quite often. And yeah some stores get crappy stock. Like i have two Ross's near me and one get's a bunch of stuff though nothing noteworthy, and the other often has very little stock. It's not that the latter store gets nothing good, it's got massively more traffic and get's picked clean quickly. On the other hand the two Marshalls near me? They both aren't great but one get's better stuff and the other almost never has anything designer ever. But they get stock on tuesdays, during xmas there's more things, you also have to check the women's section, and even the makeup cause the stocker has no idea.
I picked up floris from tkmaxx last week too. I got the honey oud, leather oud and a rose for.. I would have def picked up that pack if my tkmaxx had it. I love the honey oud.
Am glad TJ Maxx takes returns of fragrance here in the States as I've bought a few clunkers. Unfortunately, they put them back out for sale even if they are truly garbage. You've got a really nice selection there at 'TK' Maxx! ✨ Floris sampler find is great!! My last purchase was Jason Wu Velvet Rouge 1.7 ml for 20 dollars. It's nice.
Nice pick up Chris,the only bargains I’ve had are MB Cologne £16 and JV Vintage 125ml £20 ,my mate though picked up a load of Boadicea for between £40 -£60 also a Roja Enigma Pour Femme for £60 in Glasgow
Hadn’t visited a TK for an age, bargains didn’t seem the same as years ago. Anyway, on the back of your video, called into Handforth and bagged your Discovery set, in CLEARANCE - £32! Result. First time trying Floris so a great introduction. 👍🏽🙏
I don't know what it's been like for my brothers south of me.. but here in Canada it seems like all the rack stores Marshall's, Winners ect. have had slim pickings for discounted fragrances lately
The only two niche brands I’ve seen at TJ Maxx’s are Acqua di Parma and Serge Lutens. There were some really good bargains at those TK’s though, makes me wanna go out and hit some rack stores
£33 Yellow Sticker on 100ml Acqua Di Parma Colonia Essenza gift set in, bought 3, Acqua Di Gio Perfumo 100ml £29 yellow sticker and YSL Y EDP Gift Set £21 on Yellow Sticker. Probably my best buys
You need to hit the Clearance section for the fragrance bargains. The massive ADP calendar (5min:55secs in) was £160 in Brighton TK Maxx clearance last week. Saying that I hoover up the CK summer bottles at £12 most years so nothing amazing to report really.
Got pre-reformulation Timbuktu for £30 for 30ml for my cousin couple of years ago. This was Manchester Arndale TK Maxx. They have had Jul et Mad before. It's been not so good lately but always worth a browse. Most of the high street designers they get are actually cheaper at Notino though.
From TK Maxx I got an unbelievable Ferragamo Oumo Signature gift set that contained 100m bottle plus 10ml travel spray and a 100ml shower gel for £10.... Best deal I've found by a long way
TK Maxx in Stuttgart Germany had good ones 2 years ago, many Tom Fords etc. but now they have only 15-20 fragrances and all of em are super cheap designers like Davidoff etc. Disappointing.
Are there other stores in England 😢than TK Maxx where you can go bargain shopping for fragrances? I'm going to London, so would be nice to see if I can do find any treasure 😃
I bought...if anyone can believe.. bc I still cant!can't!! I bought a bottle of Aventus . Remember this , TJ max , Marshall's and other stores get some of there merchandise from "Fire Sales" and stores going out of business. The fragrance gods smiled down on me that day. And since Creed is not there regular stock items , there was no labeled price tag. So I offered $20 and got it. I ran out of there thinking they were going to look it up and change there minds
Best for me lately was a boots clearance section in a town near me. Light blue forever, given by gentlemen reserve privee, Dior homme sport 2017 and YSL at daft prices. 50ml of he givenchy scored for 27 pounds.
My best pickup was from my local (Ukraine) online discounter - I bought Tom Ford Noir de Noir 50 ml for 439 UAH/ $14,63 Somehow, they’ve lost one number in the price, it should be four thousand in cost 🤷♂️😁 but I bought the bottle as fast as possible and still cannot believe that I did it. New Noir de Noir for 14 bucks - it was mind-blowing! P.S. Unfortunately there was only one bottle left) but I'm still happy, even with one
TK Maxx stores have went downhill with fragrance stocks over the last year or so... there's hardly anything on the shelves anymore when I visit them now
Online TK MAXX a few years back, Tom Ford Grey Vetiver £65 100ml. i should've brought 5 or more, one of my fav's and bloody pricey now. Notino £85 50ml recently. Possibly discontinued?
