      The Merit Beauty Black Friday deals were last refreshed on 28/11/2025 at 09:32 AM.

      It's official that Black Friday beauty promotions have started. From beauty tools to advent calendar sales, there are many fantastic offers currently available. Personally, I believe this year's Black Friday beauty sales are the best we've seen. With brands like Victoria Beckham Beauty and Beauty Pie offering amazing discounts, I’ve already stocked up on some of my favorite items. However, nothing has excited me more than finding my beloved high-end fragrance on sale. I'm referring to Merit's Retrospect L’Extrait de Parfum. I've shared my admiration for this scent (in fact, I consider it one of the finest perfumes ever made), and it's currently 20% off in Merit's Black Friday sale (a significant deal, especially since Merit only holds a sale once each year). Additionally, the brand is providing a complimentary stylish card case with every order.

      Retrospect L’Extrait de Parfum

      Key Notes: Bergamot, pear, ambrette, aldehydes, jasmine, rose, rosemary, violet, orris, vanilla, musk, moss

      Best For: Daily wear

      First Impressions: A gentle finish with floral undertones and deep richness

      Smells Like: Juicy, skin-like, and subtly luxurious

      If It Were An Outfit: A white linen suit

      If It Were A Makeup Product: A radiant skin tint

      If It Were A Bag: A suede Saint Laurent Le 5 à 7 Bea tote bag

      I've been practically obsessed with this fragrance since its launch in October 2024. While it's far more budget-friendly than many of my luxury scents, it exudes an expensive aroma due to its exquisite blend of floral notes. A foundation of musk, vanilla, and moss provides that cozy, second-skin sensation, while the inclusion of aldehydes introduces a fresh, clean, and sparkling aspect to the fragrance.

      Junior beauty editor Grace Lindsay tests the Merit Retrospect perfume, originally £79, now £63. The most remarkable aspect? This perfume contains nearly 30% fragrance oil, ensuring a highly concentrated formula that lasts throughout the day. It was crafted in Paris with the finest natural extracts, which is why I keep praising it. Having owned it for over a year, I can attest that it sits nicely on the skin, and I can still detect the warm, fresh, cozy scent on my clothing long after applying it.

      I strongly recommend grabbing this while it's 20% off.
