Well with me doing a few reviews on perfumes from this website, i thought it was only right to do a review for them.

ABOUT FRAGRANCE DIRECT.

They started selling products in 1993, then in October 1999, they launched they website. They are a popular company, that delivers world wide. the products they retail in are perfumes, aftershaves and cosmetics.

They sell lots of different items, from many brand names. I will now tell you about the products they sell.

LADIES PRODUCTS

They have a long list A-Z listing the many different brands, you could be on there a while unless you know what perfume you are wanting to purchase.

The many brands they sell include: Calvin Klein, Georgio Armani, Burberry, Beckham Fragrances, and Lacoste. Plus many more, i could be here all day listing them, there is also brands that i have never heard off, but that maybe just me. Lets just say ladies you would not be restricted with choice. The perfumes you can buy include Eau De Parfume, Eau De Toilette, and also you can purchase the minitures. The perfumes are available in 5ml, 30ml, 50ml, and 100ml bottles.

MENS PRODUCTS

This is also listed A-Z for easy finding, but for the men the choices are not as wide as ladies. They still have a lot of choice though, included in the brands are: Christian Dior, Davidoff, FCUK, and Ted Baker. There is more selections but too many again to write about. As with the ladies products you are not restricted with choice. The aftershaves you can buy include Eau De Parfume, Eau De Toilette, and also you can purchase the minitures. The aftershaves are available in 5ml, 30ml, 50ml, and 100ml bottles.

SKIN CARE

They do not stock as many items in skins care, as what they do in perfumes, but they still do have quite a few different types of items, in different brands. This is again listed in A-Z of the brands they are.
Some of the typical items you will find here are: Cleansing lotion, Foam Cleaners, Moisturiser, and Eye Cream, plus many more.

COSMETICS

These again are listed in order of A-Z, they dont have a wide selection of brands for cosmetics, but still quite a few to choose from. The normal type of items you will find are: Brow, Lip, and Eye Definers, Eye Shadows, and Lipsticks. Plus a few more.

BODY PRODUCTS

These are again listed A-Z with a wide variety of brands, but only a few choices in most brands. The products include: Perfumed Oil, Muscle Rub, Deodorant, and Lip Balm.

GIFT SETS

These are again listed alphabetically, with many brands with a selection of gift sets, which usually include, a Perfume, Body Lotion and Body Wash.

BITS AND BOBS

These are just in a long list of items that you can purchase, with many different things, which include: Nipple Covers, Tweezers, Mirrors plus many more.

You really have to check the site out to get a good feel for what they sell as they really do sell thousands of products and all at great prices.

PRICES

The prices for each item obviously vary, but you can really guarantee that you get a good bargain for alot less than the recommended retail price. Here are a few examples:
Body Collection- Suede Brush Set - £9.99, RRP £50
Calvin Klein- Escape 100mls, £29.99, RRP £51
Davidoff-Cool Water 125mls, £24.99, RRP £45

As you can see very good savings, now i bet you want to know why they can manage to sell so cheap. there is a couple of reasons, i will list em below.
1) Some items may have no lid, or box, they may also be a tester, now this is always listen next to the item, so you always know exactly what you are buying.

2) You are purchasing straight from them, so there is not middle man to pay inbetween.

DO YOU GET A DISCOUNT FOR SPENDING ALOT?

Yes you do, now the discounts go up depending on the amount you spend, if you spend £50, you get a 1% discount and this increases up to £250 and for £250 you get a 10% discount. For full details visit the site.

POSTAGE AND PACKAGING

For standard 1st class delivery, which i normally use costs just £1.95, i usually have recied this within 2-3 working days, although they can take longer.

For UK tracked delivery, so you know it wont get lost in the post costs £4.95. I have never felt the need to use this, and none of my orders have ever been misplaced.

For next day delivery is costs £6.95, If ordered before 2pm monday-friday you will recieve this the very next day.

Now for the packaging. I find these purfumes very well packaged, they come in a large cardboard box, filled with foam pieces. My bottles have always reached me in perfect condition.

EXTRA SERVICES

They have an online order tracking service, so that you can find out how your order is going, they do normally keep you updated by email also, so you are always well informed.

CUSTOMER SERVICES

Well, if im truthful, i cant comment on there customer services, as i have never had to use them. I would think that it would speak for itself the fact that i have never had to contact them.

COULD I BUY FROM HERE FOR SOMEONE AS A GIFT?

Yes they have plenty of gift sets that are available that are fully boxed and are brand new. They also do have items that are fully boxed just as cheap.

MY PERSONAL VIEWS

I will never look anywhere else for perfume again. The site is just so cheap, and arrive in perfect condition. I have never yet had a problem with any of my orders and i have ordered alot of products from them.
The site is well designed, with a search bar for easy assess, if you know what product you are wanting to buy. It lierally has everything you need to know on the site, and it is so easy to use.

WHY WOULD I RECOMMEND THIS SITE

Cheap prices
Fast delivery
Good quality items
Lots of variety
For both male and female clients
Easy to contact if you needed to

WHY WOULD I NOT RECOMMEND THIS SITE

You cant test before you buy
ERMM i cant think of anymore lol

So why not head over and have a look, im sure you will find a bargain, and you will not be definatly not be disappointed.
