How to Buy Designer Perfume in Hampton, VA Without Paying Full Price

Designer fragrance is expensive, and buying a full bottle you end up not liking is worse. Villa Ambra is a fragrance shop based in Hampton, Virginia, and we set it up so you can get the scent you want without paying full price for a guess. Here's how.

1. Sample before you commit

Every fragrance we carry comes as a 5 ml sample for $10 or 10 ml for $18. Wear it for a few days. Fragrance changes on your skin over hours, so a few sprays at a counter rarely tells you the whole story.

2. Name your price on the full bottle

On full-size bottles you choose what you pay, from $65 up to retail. Every bottle is new and sealed whatever price you pick.

3. Let us surprise you

Not sure where to start? A mystery box is packed blind from our collection: 3 or 5 samples from $25, a discovery set of three travel sprays for $49, or one full bottle for $99. Tell us what you like and what to avoid.

4. Look at the échos

Love a famous perfume but not the price? Our échos are fragrances from other makers that smell close to the original, for a fraction of the cost.

5. Hit free shipping

Orders of $70 or more ship free, and everything leaves Hampton within one business day. Customers around Hampton Roads, from Newport News and Norfolk to Virginia Beach and Williamsburg, usually get their order in just a few days.

What we carry

Chanel, Tom Ford, Yves Saint Laurent, Valentino, Giorgio Armani, Emporio Armani, Versace, Rabanne, Xerjoff, Initio, Kayali, Bond No. 9 and Marc Jacobs. See every fragrance.
