Praise-Smellies-How to Buy Them?

Just wanted to award some "sunshine points". Being housebound/disabled I don't have the ability to browse the perfume counters for new stuff and rely on my memory of what stuff smells like when (of necessity) I buy on line. I e-mailed the company I bought from for Christmas presents and asked if they had a "try before you buy" service? They didn't but subsequent to e-mails backwards and forwards between me and their (charming) MD, they are launching this service in the next 14 days. I hope this will help everyone who, for whatever reason, can't get to the big stores. So a big "thank you" to Gregory Long MD of Cut Price Fragrance:T

    You may be an "expert" on this site, but I'm not and posted my message in good faith for disabled people like me. I think your "naughty naughty" comment is offensive and unwarrented. A polite guidance note for future reference would have been sufficient.
  • Looks very expensive....so no idea how they can claim to be cut price fragrances....example Lulu Guiness 50ml £28.99.....£9.99 at Direct Cosmetics.....

    Think I'll steer well clear thanks....

    How will this try before you buy work? It is a good idea for those who can't get out but I think if it involves sending samples on request then it will soon become abused by some people.

    I don't claim to be an expert,I am just a poster like everyone else.
    I just noticed that your mentioning them seemed to coincidence with an advertised sale.

    Perhaps my naught naughty comment should be directed at them.
    Don't you think a company who uses mse to get some respectability is a bit sus?

    I hope others manage to get samples to try-is their telephone number
    being answered?

    Anyone who gets them will be grateful,but the site doesn't look very professional,but I am no expert.

    The only link to them on companies house is a company that offers gardening services.

    The website looks cheap and nasty, it doesn't inspire confidence in me...
