Perfume: "The Devil wears Perfume", "Carrie", "Fleur", "Infinity"

stdjmax

At 29 Dec passing from the oxford street i saw the men advertising the super deal and big crowd of people was around... and at first i had ignored him because i did not need any perfumes!!

After 1/2 hour i passed from the same point, the guy was still there and the mass of crowd remained the same... That was crucial point for me to deceive me after all and unfortunately to buy a bag.

I was decent happy until i get home and discover this forum ... btw i found another website which a chine girl was too happy with deal ... So be in half, I open one box (with Hamilton) and the smell arising from the box was awful! Reading from the forum i discovered the refund was possible so I did.

And, the next day going there still the same man with the same stories (super deal, store is closing down last day of selling and you can see hundred of box in store)

Therefore, I wait for him to finish and i get inside. Apparently a man (Pakistan) came at once in front of me and....
"The perfumes are smelling awful and would like my refund back, i said".
He said no "problem if the boxing of the perfumes is on good condition".
Meanwhile he tried to convince me the "Carrie" perfume is OK as he was checking the boxes.

So do not destroy the "boxing" if you would like you money back!

Hi, I was checking to see how much these products do retail at as I did purchase some in Burton upon Trent yesterday, 11th April. When I ran along this forum.
I do agree that yes the products are not genuine, but I was not taken in by it as the bags do say 'The Devil Wears Perfume'. I do have to also admit the sales lady did not try to tell me that they were either.
As I cannot wear many perfumes I tried two of the products and wondered around town for a couple of hours. I did not have a reaction to them and returned. There were two male fragrances and three female ones, plus a £6 colour institute (genuine) makeup set. So taking the £6 off the £20 the fragrances worked out at just under £3 each.
And also looking at the boxes they all stated that they are natural fragrances.
So I feel like I had a bargain anyway. I now have a perfume selection that has not cost a lot of money that I can wear. :rotfl:

Obviously these stalls are selling "fake" perfumes but I have bought some in Gloucester today and the lady seller did not try to cash in on any celebrity and was not pushy..I like one of the scents for myself, my husband likes one of the male perfumes and my teenage daughter has taken another one . The devil wears perfume will be given to her sister for a birthday pressie by her, along with the free make up set. I think that if you can afford to buy the proper brands then go ahead but I am happy with my purchase. Not every seller is out to deliberately fool people, just selling market stuff at market prices. I paid £20 for the lot and still have a mens perfume to give as a gift.

I have these. All of them. Don't buy them, they're not very nice.

I got them at the Clothes Show Live 2008.

This scam is on 'The Real Hustle' ALL the time, it's a classic.

Saw this in Oxford st yesterday, I have to say I was slightly confused why the devil wears perfume thing was coming out so late after the film. The guy kept going on about it being free and I was taken...until he said you pay £30 and get these free. hah I clocked its not real and turned around and walked off!!

I didnt purchase the perfumes, but i was there when my sister did, at the Sunderland air show yesturday, she got the same perfumes in a bag for £20.

Clearly they are not what they are claiming to be, however they do actually smell nice, in my opinion! Those who say they dont, do they really smell awful? Or are you just been synical because you've been "had"!

At the end of the day my sister has got 6 bottles of perfume that she can give away as birthday/christmas pressies, they smell nice and they were a bargain, considering the money she will save on buying presents.

Dont know about anybody else but she also got an ipen (basically a radio pen with headphones) thrown in, which is good for what it is!

Obviously they shouldnt be making these claims, but what do you expect really, why cant people just take it for what it is!

Hi,

So you have bought 6 bottles of perfume/aftershave for £20. Is it a bargain if you did not need it in the first place? Short answer: no. Would you have gone into a shop and bought 6 bottles of perfume in one hit? No.

I too saw their stands at the Sunderland Air Show at the weekend but it appeared they were trading as 'DESIGNER PERFUMES DIRECT' and it was amazing the amount of gullible idiots that were sucked into buying repackaged, cheap rubbish for £20. Believe me, these are cheap rotten fragrances, and making an awful lot of money from them...When they say 'Not available in shops' there is a reason for that: because the shops will not sell sh*t. They are illegally using famous faces to promote their products too: It is amazing how powerful a fancy box/bottle/celebrity endorsement can sell a bottle of rotten fragranced cats p*ss very easily!

The 'hook' is the promise of free products, and throwing out free samples like confetti. This encourages people to stay and watch the rest of the pitch, waiting for more freebies. They eventually convince buyers that they are to happy to pay £20 for a carrier bag of 'freebies'. What fools they are.

I have seen seen similar operations featured The Real Hustle (although I am not saying that this perfume company is a scam)....I can't believe the amount of people stupid enough to buy them! Expect to see their perfumes at your nearest pound shop very soon!

So you are happy that you have been told the rrp is £40 a bottle and is endorsed by major celebrities, when in reality there are no celebrity endorsements at all?
