Beauty Pie Is One of the Best Places to Buy Perfume—These Smell So Expensive
If you want to smell luxurious without breaking the bank, you need to know about these Beauty Pie perfumes.


If you've read any of my articles, then you'll know that when it comes to the best perfumes, I love an affordable fragrance. As someone who works in the beauty industry, I'm lucky enough to receive samples of both luxury and high-street perfumes, and I truly believe that you don't have to spend a fortune to smell good. That's why I'm always rounding up my favourite Zara perfumes, my top M&S scents and even the fragrances I'm loving from high street favourite Other Stories. However, last week, I noticed that one of my go-to affordable beauty brands, Beauty Pie, also had an amazing selection of perfumes on its site, and as soon as I saw them, I was desperate to give them a go.
If you didn't know, Beauty Pie is essentially a subscription beauty website where you can get incredible formulas for a fraction of the price. From just £10 a month, you can purchase a huge range of skincare, bodycare, makeup and more at factory prices, and get your hands on some of the brand's best-selling products. There are currently ten fragrances on offer (although some are limited-edition and some have already sold out), ranging from £28 to £33. If you aren't a member, then these perfumes will set you back £60 each, so you're definitely saving on a luxury scent by signing up.
Junior beauty editor Grace Lindsay spent the week testing popular perfumes from Beauty Pie.
After reading about each of the Beauty Pie fragrances, I was intrigued to give some of the most popular ones a go, so I've spent the past week wearing different scents from the brand (on different days, of course). It's my job to let you know about the best products on the market, and after trying these fragrances out, I knew I had to share my findings. As you'll see below, for me, there was one clear winner, but that's not to say that I didn't have thoughts about the other perfumes.
So, whether you're looking for a new summer scent or you're simply just as obsessed as me with finding the best beauty deals, keep on scrolling to see how I got on.
The Best Beauty Pie Perfumes
- Best gourmand perfume: Beauty Pie Vanille Nue
- Best floral perfume: Beauty Pie She Brought Peonies
- Best fresh perfume: Beauty Pie Une Balade En Forêt
- Best woody perfume: Beauty Pie La Flâneuse
1. Beauty Pie Vanille Nue
Price shown is members' price.
Key notes: Vanilla, bergamot, rum absolute, jasmine and musk.
This was easily my favourite fragrance of the lot, and if I'm being honest, I now can't imagine my perfume wardrobe without it. It's worth noting that I love sweet, gourmand fragrances, so if that's not your thing, then this might not be for you. However, if you, too, love warming, vanilla scents, then I highly recommend giving this a go. Spraying it literally feels like a warm hug, with notes of jasmine and musk adding a sensual edge to the vanilla base. It's perfect for both day and night, and you can also layer it with other scents depending on the occasion. The thing that stood out the most to me was the lasting power of this perfume. After a long day of traveling on the tube and running around the office, I could still smell this fragrance on me when I got home, and for just £28, I think that's pretty impressive.
2. Beauty Pie She Brought Peonies
Price shown is members' price.
Key notes: Plum, red apple, peony, rose absolute and jasmine.
If you prefer a floral scent, then this might be the one for you. It's perfect for the spring and summer months thanks to notes of sweet, fresh peony and juicy red apple. Don't be fooled, though, as a hint of patchouli oil gives this fragrance a hidden depth, making it smell much more expensive than the £28 price tag.
3. Beauty Pie Une Balade En Forêt
Price shown is members' price.
Key notes: Fir balsam, gentian absolute, cashmere, amber and citrus.
This fragrance is very different from the two above, but there's no denying how luxurious it smells. It's definitely more of a unisex scent (my boyfriend is a big fan), with fresh, slightly spicy fir balsam blending beautifully with warm amber and sparkling citrus notes. It's invigorating and intoxicating, and definitely has a more unique finish compared to the other perfumes on offer, so I don't doubt that everyone will be asking you what perfume you are wearing when you spritz this.
4. Beauty Pie La Flâneuse
Price shown is members' price.
Key notes: Fig, cardamom, jasmine, cedarwood, sandalwood and cashmere wood.
In last place would have to be La Flâneuse. Don't get me wrong—this perfume smells just as expensive as the other options on offer, but it's a far cry from my usual gourmand fragrances. We all know that perfume is so personal, so if you like slightly spicy, woody scents, then you might love this. It reminds me of fragrances from the likes of Le Labo and Byredo, with earthy notes such as cedarwood and fig. When I smelled it, memories of crisp winter walks came to mind.
