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

boredandconfused

These perfumes are all sold in my local Pound Shops - all in the same bottle, long and thin with a red lid.

For the record, no I dont sh*t money. You make me sound like some sort of brand name snob. The 'big companies' don't have to tell you that it's better because the products speak for themselves. Theres no harm in spending a few more quid for peace of mind.

By buying a reputable branded fragrance you have peace of mind that the scent will last, will not cause severe allergic reaction, and is manufactured in the appropriate conditions with the appropriate ingredients. You also know that the company has invested £££££'s in developing a quality product.

....on the other hand, you do not what ingredients, whether safe or unsafe have gone into the cheaper fragrances, or what kind of factory in the World has manufactured them. Branded scents are simply copied, and the scent usually does not last very long...If you are not happy with the perfume, or have had an allergic reaction to it, you cannot take it back for a refund: the seller will be long gone, and the manufacturers details will be non-existent.

I am just after buying the perfume from a shop in Blackpool last week. I was thinking the "Devil wears Perfume" is real and maybe the rest are fakes. 3 ladies perfumes, 2 gents aftershaves and 2 bottles of body wash for £20 is a bargain in my eyes - fake or not.:o

just looked at the boxes and there are details on the back of the boxes, so instead of b##ching on here why dont you email them. and im sure if they are a real company they can put your mind at rest about whats safe apoved ingredients are in the bottles. and if there not ill apolgies. SO CHOP CHOP

"i bet your one to pay £40 in a perfume shop when it cost them pennys in the same factorys to make. yet because your told its better by big companys you pay it."

I've never bought branded perfume because 'your [sic] told its better by big companys' - you may well not have heard of the perfume I wear most frequently, because it isn't advertised nor made by a multinational. I buy perfumes because I like them, and I find perfume is very personal - some people love Angel, I'm not keen on it at all. These perfumes may well be lovely, I've not tried them, but I'd rather get no present at all, or a bar of Dairy Milk, than some perfume that I won't like bought because it was cheap. all that'll do is take up space in my room.

No b**ching here mate. I've never told anyone not to buy them, I've just given the factual risks that are associated with cheap fragrances. I know about professional, persuasive selling techniques inside out, and have simply brought these to light....

You have a massive chip on your shoulder: why not respect other peoples opinions rather than spitting the dummy when others disagree with your replies? Your not an employee of the perfume company, are you?

Try Googling the trading names.....they bring up no traces of a company website.
Try googling any of the perfume names...all it finds are eBay listings and this MSE thread.

In my opinion: Sounds like a company that does not want to be dectected/found by unhappy customers (but thats only my opinion...)

I walk past these guys every week and they have the same 'stooges' with them in the crowd waving their money about. I noticed that all the customers (all women) meet up round the corner and come back half an hour later to do the same thing. Harmless to most, but to the people who buy into their routine they are screwed out of money by these guys. I looked up and found most of the devil wears prada perfume being sold on the internet went for under £10 (anything else was by the same people). If this is illegal then why are they allowed to continue?
