Review of Cheap Smells

Glamourous by Ralph Lauren

Advantages: Stockist of my favourite discontinued perfume
Disadvantages: Can take a little longer to arrive on occasions

...tone which lasts for hours. Fragrancenet.com describe it as;FRAGRANCE NOTES - musk, vetiver and lily, very feminine and soft. I always get compliments when wearing it. It was brought out in 2001 and only lasted a few years before being replaced with Romance. Nowadays it is so hard to find which makes it even more special. Fragrancenet.com, an American based company stock it and i have ordered it twice from there. Their site contains many popular ...
...skin products. Their site is easy to navigate, with secure payment. Goods are displayed in pictures which also contain product description and customer reviews. The first time i ordered my purchase took 3 weeks to arrive, the second time it took only a week but both deliveries were well packaged and in pristine condition, an absolute must if your purchase is for a gift. I didn't find my perfume was any cheaper than i had bought it in the past but ...

ASOS Fantastic Serivce

Advantages: Easy to use; Fast delivery; Huge selection
Disadvantages: Content not regularly updated

I have been shopping on Asos now for quite a while, and every time I tell myself that the service provided is remarkable. I feel the website is easy to use, navigation is more than simple enough in my opinion, they have a massive range to choose from, the quantity, quality and selection of clothing is very complete, and they will post it asap, I have never had anything arrive from Asos after more than a couple of days. On top of that the price and ...
...reasonably high, compared to a lot of other places you do get pretty good value for money, in my opinion. However, I may be wrong but it seems to me that they do not change or update the content on their website often enough. All-in-all I am very impressed with their service, and hopefully this will continue. ...

Review of Asos.com

Utterly gutted!!

Advantages: Good customer service
Disadvantages: product is totally useless

...I received: very bad StrawberryNet sent a replacement product very promptly after I complained that the quality of the product I had received was very bad. The perfum smelled stale and almost like a chemical cleaning product. When I complained I was given the choice to get a refund or a replacement. However, the replacement is just as bad and left me now wishing that I had gone for the full refund option. I have used this perfum for a long time and ...
...they have sent does. The original is a very light, fresh and flowery frangrance. I am not able to use the stuff they have sent unless I intend to stink the office out. Hence, I am utterly gutted that I have waited all in all for almost 5 weeks and ended up with a rubbish product anyway. Another draw back were the long delivery times. The first order took almost 3 weeks to get to the UK. The second one improved to "only" 2 weeks despite postal strike. ...

Review of StrawberryNET

Be careful placing an order with Perfume Emporium

Advantages: None - the product has not arrived.
Disadvantages: There are issues about the intergity of this company that need further investigation

I registered with Theperfumeemporium.co.uk on 19th August, placed an order and paid for it. The order didn't arrive. I let Chris know. She said it would take 15 days for royal mail to check whether it had been distributed. I then sent another email. Chris said the perfume would be re-sent. The perfume did not arrive. I then asked for a refund or I would contact trading standards. On 18th October, this is what she sent: "Hello, We aim to process refunds ...
