If you’re sweating and tired and longing for a light at the end of the tunnel, we have news for you. No, fall's not here yet—it’s the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! This year, along with a slew of marked-down fashion items, you can also score incredible deals on some of the most iconic fragrances. Plus, one of the best features of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is their limited edition sets. For a limited time (and sometimes, for the first time) you can buy bundles of fragrances and candles that exist nowhere else. Nordstrom meets all your fragrance needs, from summery scents you need to pack on your vacation to investment-worthy perfumes that are now in your price range. So when do all these great bargains kick in? Here are all the details you need to know. While the sale opened up to the public on July 17th, you now have just one week left to shop these deals until August 7th when the deals expire and prices go back full-price.

Here, you can preview and shop the best fragrance deals Nordstrom offers this Anniversary Sale season. From must-have brands like Diptyque and Byredo, now is the perfect time to find your new signature scent.

If you’re anything like me, you hoard Diptyque’s candle sets to give as a gift–or, to keep for yourself. This set of four mini Diptyque candles is essential for anyone who needs their home to smell yummy and luxurious. Put one in every room to trick guests into thinking you’re super fancy.

Although we love a mini, sometimes, size really matters. Buying three, full-size luxury candles for under $40 feels like robbery, but this set is the real deal. The box includes a slew of scents that range from grapefruit to bamboo to ocean and sea salt, which all feel like a breezy summer vacation.

As someone who almost exclusively wears Diptyque perfumes (with occasional cheat days), this set of three mini perfumes is a gift you’ll never regret buying yourself. I’ve had minis from the brand last for years, so this trio will certainly stand the test of time.

I once witnessed a fellow beauty editor get stopped three times in a row so people could admire how beautiful she smelled. The culprit for all this loving attention? Libre Eau de Parfum. In addition to the full- and mini-size versions of this iconic fragrance, the gift set also comes with a cute YSL pouch that you can use as a clutch for a night out.

Question: If I wear this perfume set out, will Harry Styles, Gucci King, mysteriously appear to be my date? Not only is this fragrance a beautiful floral scent, but the packaging is too beautiful to throw away. I recommend using the box to store sunglasses or love letters, or whatever floats your boat.

No matter how many perfumes I accrue, Byredo will always hold a special place in my heart. I have firsthand experience of people stopping me in the office to ask which fragrance I have on, and with this trio of perfumes, you can have that level of attention from colleagues, too. This collection includes bestsellers like Gypsy Water and Mojave Ghost. Warning: you will become addicted.

Sometimes, I wish I was cool enough to rock this perfume–and not just because the letters on the box are my initials, which means I can pretend it’s customized to me. As the name suggests, this perfume is pure leathery goodness with added notes of jasmine and moss. Throw the mini in your going-out bag so your date knows you’re out of their league.

Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s fragrances have a cult following, partly because their fragrance Baccarat Rouge 54o has reached viral status. If you want to see what all the hype is about, try that bestseller, along with a whopping seven others, at a huge discount thanks to this discovery set.

Soft girl summer must include a Chloé fragrance. If you long for picnics in a flower field, this perfume is the sweet, feminine scent that gets the job done. This set includes a full-size and a travel size for you to take on your international travels this summer.
