IT seems like Tj Maxx doesnt mark down the Cartier stuff like they do some of the others, I wonder what their theories on pricing all this stuff is. Sometimes to me it seems humorous.
I too found a selection of Penhaligon's scents at TJ Maxx. Don't sleep on your local supermarkets for discounts either, my local Smith's (Kroger) store had a lot of holiday fragrance sets on clearance, and I picked up a Drakkar Noir set for 11 dollars.

i think tjmax pricing is based off how long something sits on the shelf...there is this one backpack there that is damaged and has a hole on it...it was there in august and was there tonight still..in august it was on discount for $30,,,,,tonight it was $10 and no one has bought it(its not the type of material you can sew though..made of that ripstop nylon parachute material
14 sprays of DRAKKAR NOIR should do it

There were many more, theres been an abundance of fragrances at discounters lately, although it's slowed down after Christmas. There were many more that I am forgetting, but those were some of the ones that stood out.
Ck Euphoria, Boss bottle, Beckhams and Gucci are at most Rosses in LA "Hollywood" stores.
Stopped by Tj maxx -still nothing since xmas.
Gordman's: Found a 3.4 of quorum on clearance for $5 usd. Nice!! Also a sample mini bottle of CK Secret Obsession for the wife for. $2.50
When will they stock up again?
Went in to a local Marshall's on Long Island to look for a new messenger bag, for work. While I didn't see anything that impressed me I did see cologne gift sets in the mens fragrance area.
So I picked up a Moschino Uomo? gift set, with 2.5 oz. EDT, after shave and body wash for $29.99.
[There was also a Versace The Dreamer set for a similar price, but I had to let that go after a couple of Jersey Shore-ish guys walked over, spotted the Versace and one said to the other: 'Hey dude, remember when we used to bombard ourselves with this stuff? (chortle, chortle)'. I'll avoid anything that makes me smell anything like 'the Situation', thanks.]
Anyway, as a blind buy, I've tested Uomo? and not crazy about it. After the initial lemon blast, it leans a bit too much on the feminine floral side for my tastes. Reviews describe it as an Italian style citrus, and I don't get that at all. It's a powdery lemon scent, with flowers, on my arm.
Still looking for a good masculine citrus, along the lines of the vintage Armani EPH, because Uomo? is likely going back to the store.
Just grabbed a 4.2oz bottle of Lagerfeld Photo on clearance at TJ Maxx for $12. They had some others as well, but I had Photo back in the 90's and really liked it.
Midnight in paris is on clearance at my tj maxx, i stare at it everytime. At $39 still isn't worth it to me, like a $4 discount from the fragrancenet price.
The prices are not good. Creed Royal Water is available from fragrancex.com, with the basenotes code, for $132 and some change.
Current Top Five:
1. Creed Green Irish Tweed
2. Tom Ford Neroli Portofino
3. Hermes Concentre d'Orange Verte

I gave in and bought a 1 OZ bottle of Bvlgari Man for $24.99 at Ross.
I was in such turmoil a few days ago when I saw almost all the Cartier fragrances for men on red ticket discount at TJ's.. Turmoil because I didn't have the money to buy Pasha Santos and Declaration (I think) for $49.99 each for the large bottle.
I had some great numbers for a Super Bowl pool (7-3 for those who know what I'm talking about) and was sure I was going to win at least one quarter for $250.. but alas was not to beNow I guess I need to buy some scratch off tickets!! yes Yes! that's what I'll do
lol

The sad thing is that I saw Gucci Envy Por Homme at TJ Maxx in 2011 for relatively cheap and hadn't ever tried it yet. I thought that I wouldn't like it, so I passed. Little did I know that it would be discontinued and that I would actually really enjoy it. Oh well, hindsight is always 20/20.

I spotted the Dreamer 100ml for $34.99. I thought about buying it but passed. Never tried it.
I saw a Nautica Voyage for $15 I think and I've seen Midnight in Paris gift set for $30, Dreamer for $30. Are any of these worth the purchase as I would be blind buying any of the 3 mentioned
