For Singapore-based fragrance buyers in 2026, Paris boutique retail net of the 20% VAT refund is typically 12 to 22% cheaper than Sephora Singapore or Escentials Singapore on niche houses (Le Labo, Tom Ford Private Blend, Guerlain L'Art & La Matiere) but only 3 to 8% cheaper on mainstream Chanel and Dior. Changi Duty Free is genuinely competitive with Paris on Chanel and Dior 100ml eau de parfum, often within 2 to 5% of Paris net-of-VAT. LAG restrictions cap fragrance carry-on at 100ml per bottle.
