    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Price, Delivery, Range, Customer Service, Quality

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None as yet

    I thought I would do a review on a site that I use all the time well when I say all the time I mean a few times a year. You know birthdays, Christmas, and when I need to say sorry. **The background** Now fragrance direct is a company that has been selling low cost perfumes and after shaves to the general public since 1993. Now from 1993 until the present day fragrance direct has been selling there products in many work places up and down the country and it was not until 1999 they first launched there very own website. They thought this was the best way to allow the general public to take ... more

    5 Stars They don't only sell fragrances! ;D 31/07/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A big variety of makeup,skincare,hair products and fragrances.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None!

    Okay, so it's really hard to buy a lot of makeup whilst trying to save money, so I was just surfing for cheap makeup and such on the internet and Fragrance Direct came up. At first I was like, 'Oh God, only perfumes?' but I was really surprised to say the least and happy because they did not only sell fragrances but also makeup,skin care and hair products and MEGA cheap prices - what more could a girl ask for?! The first thing that you see on the website(home page) is along the left hand side are: 'Categories'- Fragrance,Mens,Cosmetics,Skin Care,Body Care,Hair,Home & Living,Gifts,Special ... more

    5 Stars The aroma of fragrance Direct 16/11/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap perfumes, wide variety, great offers

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    I first came across Fragrance Direct when I was working for lastminute.com, they visited our office for the day and set up a stall promoting their service. Fragrance direct are a company dedicated to keeping fragrance costs low, therefore offering exceptional value for money and I really feel that they do offer this. A bit about Fragrance Direct Fragrance direct launched in 1993 with direct sales visiting large companies and workplaces to try and increase their customer data base, this was extremely successful as they went on to launch their first website in 1999 which led them to massive ... more

    5 Stars Fragrance For All 23/10/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good range of items, most products in stock, cheap and fast delivery, great discounts.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not all products listed on the website, new fragrances can take 6 months to be added.

    Fragrance Direct is a website managed directly from the UK that specialises in fragrances for men and women as well as beauty products, skin care and body care too. It's considerably cheaper than buying direct from high street stores due to cutting out the middle man (i.e. shops and staff) and buying direct from the perfume houses. The company itself was set up in 1993 and the site was founded back in 1999. Using the Website- - The website itself is fairly simple to use, there's a search option at the top of the page which allows you to search directly for a product by just the brand or name ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages designer perfumes and makeup at cheap prices

    Disadvantages Disadvantages unfortunately there is no smelly testing by pc monitor yet.

    www.fragrancedirect.co.uk is fairly new to me as I was comparing prices for possible xmas pressies - yes I know it's early but I'm one of those annoyingly organised people when it comes to this time of year. I've found that this company has been trading since 1993 but has only had this website for 5 years and they keep the overheads down by direct selling - ie cutting out the middle man's profits by distributing straight to us out there. You can pay by various means - Visa, Mastercard, Delta, Visa Debit, Maestro, JCB, Eurocard and Solo and can do this either online or over the phone. The ... more

    3 Stars is the price worth the hassle ? 19/09/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages much lower prices than the shops

    Disadvantages Disadvantages not a good first experience ..

    I have used this company once , and before ordering read their info pages thoroughly The web site is well laid out and easy to use , the pages are informative , and the online payment system is secure and fast . The company also sell some skincare products but the choice is rather more limited than in the perfumes The perfumes are genuine , usually large sizes , and at unbelievably low prices . The choice is excellent and all descriptions are clear and informative The reason for the low price is that they are unused testers that havent been distributed to stores , and as such come without a ... more

    5 Stars An Excellent Company 04/05/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great prices, quick delivery, excellent customer service.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None.

    I've been ordering from Fragrance Direct for well over a year now and the service they provide is excellent. They have a wide range of perfumes, cosmetics, etc, and the prices are always really good (especially for tester perfumes which can be incredibly reasonable) and delivery is always very fast. I've always received my orders within a couple of days of placing my order, even though I've only ever used the standard delivery option, so I wouldn't need to ever use the more expensive delivery options. Also, on the rare occasions I returned something (only because I'd "blind" ordered a couple ... more

    5 Stars FRAGRANCE DIRECT 30/04/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Accurate website, prompt delivery, bargain prices

    Disadvantages Disadvantages May have to wait for your favourite perfume to be in stock

    I am so impressed with Fragrance Direct- 1 spent £40 and got 2 100ml bottles of high end perfumes, normally selling for £37-£45 each. I ordered 2 products from them online Sunday and received them both on Tuesday, even though I only chose standard first class delivery. I bought both products at about half their RRP, a real bargain. The first one was in mint condition, cellophane wrapped, as described on the site. The second, marked Tester and No Lid on the website was accurate, but it was boxed up and perfect condition, no sign of use at all, although not cellophane wrapped and the box is ... more

    5 Stars Fragrance Direct - Fantastic! 12/10/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Clear description of item & condition; speed of delivery; extremely well packaged

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Absolutely none that I experienced!

    Took a punt with this based on reviews read - hadn't heard of them at all and I am one for careful consideration before ordering anything over the net. Bought present for my husband - gift set of Armani Code fragrance & shower gel. In my opinion, website couldn't be clearer and easier to use - different ways in searching for items, whether that be by brand, style of fragrance, type of item, etc. Immense range of brands. Codes make the quality of the item clear, ie. whether tester, no box, no lid, etc. Ordered on Friday afternoon for birthday a week on Sunday and ordered standard delivery ... more

    1 Star Order never arrived, money lost. 08/12/2012

    Advantages Advantages goot products

    Disadvantages Disadvantages very expensive postage, unreliable

    I've ordered from outside the UK. Ddelivery is VERY expensive: Tracked Service- £6.50 for the first item. Each individual item £2.50! If I order 10 items - do they deliver everything seperately? 10 items would cost £29 postage - even if they are small and cheep products. Delivery cost many times more than usual. But since they were the only company who still offered the product I was looking for I had to choose them. I chose normal delivery ( £2.49 for the first item. Each additional item £1.99 - still a lot!) and the products never arrived!!!!!!!! It's not tracked, they can't do anything, my ... more
