AW Scents and Aromara sell a lot of the same scents. Our five best-selling perfumes over the last 90 days are all on AW Scents' own best-seller list too. So if you are choosing between the two, you are often choosing between two versions of the same smell. Here is a straight, side-by-side look.
Quick verdict: AW Scents is cheaper per bottle, sells 100ml sizes and has a huge range with a strong review history. Aromara publishes the number: a flat 35% Extrait on every spray, and gives you 60 days to decide. If price per ml and choice matter most, AW Scents is a good pick. If you want the strength in writing and longer to make up your mind, pick Aromara.

Where AW Scents is strong
AW Scents has been trading since 2022 and it shows. The range is massive, with over a thousand scents, so if your favourite is rare, they may well have it. Prices are lower, the 100ml bottles work out cheap per ml, and the free delivery threshold is lower than ours. Their Trustpilot score is strong and built on hundreds of reviews. They also sell at Extrait strength, so this is not a weak-versus-strong fight.
Where Aromara wins
- The number, in writing. Every Aromara spray is a flat 35% Extrait, and we publish it. AW Scents says "Extrait de Parfum strength" but does not give a figure, so you cannot compare like for like.
- Twice as long to decide. You get 60 days from arrival. Try it properly. Not convinced? Send it back lightly tested, with at least 90% left, and get your money back (you pay the return postage). AW Scents gives 30 days and only accepts a bottle sprayed once or twice.
- One strength, every bottle. There is no "standard" and "stronger" version to choose between. Every Aromara bottle is the same 35%.
- Made in the UK, small batch. Blended in Britain in small runs.
So which should you buy?
Want the lowest price per ml, a 100ml bottle or a rare scent? AW Scents is a solid choice. Want to know the exact strength you are paying for, and 60 days to judge it on your own skin? Go with Aromara. Start with a 3 x 50ml bundle, 3 bottles for £80, or pick one bottle from the table above.
