I've used this site several times and have been happy with the service. Worth checking out to compare prices - the items I've bought have been about 60% the price compared to the UK. Use the promotional code SANTASHIP for free postage from the US.

I have ordered perfume oils from this company twice now, over a 3 year period:

http://www.fragrancefactory.com/

The website is a bit shoddy looking & the perfume comes in those plastic bottles which they display on their website but it is CHEAP and you get OIL, not eau de toilette.

I got 5 bottles of 2 floz bottles (I think that's about 50ml?) and they last absolutely ages.

Delivery is sent signed for so you can track it online & I paid about $40 including postage for 5x 2 fl oz bottles.

I have been very impressed with a seller from the states on Ebay. They are called allshewants. I have purchased some Bond no 9 perfume which retails at Harrods for £145 for Approx £50 including the p&p charges.
I know that the item is genuine. The smell is exactly the same and the box is far too elaborate to copy.
I have also bought some Hermes - terre d'hermes for men which cost me £23 including delivery. About £40 here.
QVC also has some very good offers and sets and if you buy now it has a money back guarantee until end of january. You can use all the product if you want so long as you send it back in original packaging. Great if someone does not like the perfume or you want to try something new.

I went to the local cash and carry. Got Lacoste Touch of Pink (15ml) for £8, YSL Jazz (25ml) for £7.60, Paul Smith Femme (25ml) for £10.60, and Hugo Boss Femme (25ml) for £7.60 + VAT. If you know anyone with a traders licence, it might be worth checking whether your local C&C has perfumes, because the prices were around £12-16 + VAT, for perfumes that are normally £45-50 in department stores. Ours says "No Personal Shopping" on the door, with everyone in there talking out loud about who certain gifts were for.

This was my fave as well and i've still never been able to track it down. Ghost seem to do a new Limited Edition each summer but none have been as great as Summer Moon. I've seen a few go up in Ebay but nothing in the stores - I even had a mass hunt when in New York.

I even sent a few emails to Ghost asking if it will be re-released and never heard anything back

In the end I just tried to find something similar. If you like Summer Moon try Gucci II and Kylie Minouge Sweet Darling.

Has anybody had any experience with Passion For Perfume?

They have some good deals in the special offers section.

Also, they seem to have quite a few shops across the UK which gives me hope they are trustworthy.

Just wondering if anybody had used them and if everything was ok?

Dave.

I have got some now before I seen your reply. Got it from direct cosmectics when they also had an offer on and got it for less than 29.00. quick delivery too

[daveH]

£1 to £5 for delivery doesn't seem that great.

The site mentioned above (Passion For Perfume) offer free 1st class recorded delivery on everything and gift wrapping is only an additional £1.50.

I generally expect P&P to be free for items that are smallish in size.

I use perfumepoint.co.uk. They have up to 80% off some lines and you get a free sample with your order and also if you spend over a certain amount you get a free gift.
