      **Latest Updates**

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

      It’s official—Black Friday beauty promotions are now available. From beauty tools to advent calendar discounts, there are plenty of great offers at this time. In my view, this year’s Black Friday beauty sales are the best yet. With brands like Victoria Beckham Beauty and Beauty Pie presenting amazing discounts, I’ve already restocked on some of my favorite items. However, nothing excites me more than spotting my beloved high-end perfume on sale. Naturally, I'm referring to Merit's Retrospect L’Extrait de Parfum. I've expressed my admiration for this fragrance before (it ranks as one of the finest perfumes ever made in my opinion), and it’s currently 20% off in Merit's Black Friday sale (a significant deal, especially since Merit has sales only once a year). Additionally, the brand is including a complimentary, stylish card case with every purchase.

      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 soft finish with floral tones and rich undertones

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

      **If It Were an Outfit:** A white linen suit

      **If It Were a Makeup Product:** A glowing skin tint

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

      I've been quite taken with this fragrance since its release in October 2024. While it's more reasonable than many of my luxury perfumes, it has an incredibly expensive scent profile, thanks to its delicate blend of floral notes. The warm base of musk, vanilla, and moss gives a cozy, second-skin feel, while aldehydes add a fresh, clean, and sparkling element to the fragrance.

      The most remarkable part? This perfume contains nearly 30% fragrance oil, providing a concentrated formula that lasts through the day. Developed in Paris with the highest-quality natural extracts, it's no surprise that I can't stop praising it. After having it in my collection for over a year, I can attest that it sits beautifully on the skin, and the warm, fresh, comforting aroma lingers on my clothing long after application.
