Thanks

  • Hi Suzanne,

    I posted about this in the perfume cost-cutting thread the other day. I ordered from them a couple of weeks ago and felt like I was taking a gamble because I couldn't find much about them on the internet but they were one of the few places that did the perfume I was looking for and it was a decent price. Anyway, I ordered some Acqua di Gio for my OH and Chantal Thomass perfume for my friend, came to $78ish (not yet sure how much that converts to, waiting for my credit card statement). I paid through Amazon payments to make myself feel a bit safer!

    Two weeks after I got an email to say the items had been dispatched, they arrived. I had been starting to get a bit nervous so I was really pleased when I finally got them. They were in the correct boxes, undamaged and wrapped in cellophane but I have opened both from the bottom so that I could smell them to check they were genuine (can you tell I didn't have much faith in the company??). Anyway I've smelt both the perfume and aftershave before and I'm happy to say the ones that came from Fragrance X smell exactly the same so unless they are extremely good fakes I would say they are the real deal!

    Hope that helps you to decide!

    No, but I've used cheapsmells and it's been really good. Check it out, loads of good quality perfumes megacheap. When I've used it they've delivered really quick too:

    I have used fragrancex aswell and had no problems whatsoever... relatively quick delivery (inside 2 weeks from the US) and was able to compare the packaging etc with the real thing and as said its either a top notch fake or its real.

    well worth the gamble in my opinion as they have some perfumes my wife wont have heard about even from her favourite brands!

    Oh that's a shame, I got dead cheap Magie Noire and Van Cleef and Arpels stuff and noticed the AP stuff was really cheap too.
    What about Ebay?

    I've used both fragranceX and Cheapsmells, both were good with no problems. I'm always a bit dubious about buying fragrance from Ebay with there being so many dodgy people on there.

    Fragrancex.com DO NOT USE
    I ordered a bottle of aftershave a few weeks ago it arrived leaking.

    I contacted them with a picture of the bottle and they have refused to do anything.

    DON'T USE THEM VERY VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE.:mad:
  • I Have experienced many, many perfume websites since I can not live without them. I have found to over 3 years that worldSfragrances.com is the most reliable website. Most importantly to me is that the sell my genuine perfumes at a discounted price and whenever I need and have in the past change my mind, they immediately changed my perfume and I do not even need to explain them why I changing my perfume. That is very important to me.
