They're about the same price as in the UK.

thought it was a duty free island

It is, unfortunately that doesn't take into account exchange rates.

A couple of years ago when you were getting 1.45e to the £ the perfume was cheaper, but not any more. In fact nothing is really cheap in the eurozone any more.

Checked in the perfume shop in Leon y Castillo in Arrecife today - normally on a par with the resort places and Charlie's price wise.

One Million 50ML €28.95
100ML €34.95

We are duty free, and generally significantly cheaper on perfumes, cigarettes and alcohol than mainland Europe.

Not in my experience. Cigarettes and bottles of spirits yes, but not perfumes. The savings are so small they're not worth the risk of paying extra luggage allowance to take them home.
