We only bought cigs at Sharm airport - not a great selection, but very cheap. There is quite a large selection of perfumes, although I didn't look at price.

from memory last year the selection is limited although it has got better over the years. all depends on what kind of perfume you are after, if its brand new i would stick with gatwick. Prices are usually pretty reasonable in the UK so its up to you whether its worth the risk. Alternatively you could get perfume on the plane.

I think Sharm duty free is expensive - I always buy my perfume on the way out of the UK. All priced in US dollars in Sharm.

Thanks everyone , think i will stick to Gatwick.
