Andrea Rickard, The Perfume Shop’s Trading Director, remarked on the increase in sales. “Perfume is always a popular gift for Father’s Day. We’re delighted to see the growth in sales during this period, particularly as many of our shoppers are seeking value amidst a cost-of-living crisis.”
She further discussed the importance of careful selection when it comes to gifting fragrances. “Choosing perfume for someone can be challenging, given the vast array of options available. A thoughtfully selected perfume not only shows care but can also lift spirits, boost confidence levels, and make the wearer feel amazing.”

Additionally, our website features a ‘Fragrance Finder’ tool, allowing customers to quickly and easily discover new fragrances based on a scent they already love,” Rickard added.
