  • Hi I found www.thefragrancecounter.co.uk recently its perfume prices are really great and I got what I ordered within 24 hours. Nice site too & nice people.

  • I bought the Coleen book today and for got a sticker for £5.00 off the Coleen fragrance using a code. Then i realised i didnt even need to buy the book to get the £5.00 off perfume.

    promotional code: COLEENBOOK

    As someone who is allergic to synthetic fragrance (or at least one of the 200-300 chemicals present in a typical perfume) I'd like to shamelessly suggest that not only is using perfume sparingly a great way to save money, but it also benefits people like me when I'm sat next to you at the pictures/on the train/in the restaurant. If you see someone coughing and wheezing and sneezing, it might be because of you... :)
  • New to this - sorry if posted in wrong area!

    Confidently bought 'Ghost' from Cheapsmells.com, who turn out to be based in Guernsey, for my Mum's 60th birthday. Unfortunately, although the packaging and bottle look the real mcoy - it's not! Be aware
  • I always go to perfumepoint.co.uk to buy my cheap perfume and cheap aftershave. They always have good offers on as well.
  • i have used cheapsmells before had no problems have to say didn`t check that closely was a gift but all seemed ok.
  • i have used supaperfume.com and designerperfumeshop.co.uk recently for different perfumes both were good my friend always seems to get a bargin on ebay is you can be bothered to follow the no reserve auctions

    Don't joke about that!! the sheer volume of people in my gym that seem to refuse to wear deoderant (though I know I shouldn't make assumptions, the chemicals they drink and eat (yes eat) whilst in the gym make me think that they are not infact allergic, and just very gross.

    Can you not wear essential oils? or those scented rocks that Neals Yard do? really feel for you! I love the smell of so many of the perfumes I wear- I end up covering my scarf and sleeves in them to cover up the smell of the people in the gym/tube/train!

    Another good company are...Tesco, where (please correct me if I am wrong) at the moment you can use the double-clubcard offer on them! http://www.tesco.com/clubcard/deals/p.aspx?id=doubleuptcs

    I just bought a large 75ml "tester" diesel fuel for life unlimited from cosmetics direct, came in at £28 - cheapest I have seen elsewhere for that one is just over £40 - hoping its ok, bottle looks genuine, box all sealed.
    Aim to win in 2013 - a holiday somewhere nice, New York break, treats for family & friends & some cash would be lovely!!!

    Nice one- but be aware with Testers that they are actually (so I read) supposed to be that bit stronger then the perfumes you buy that are not testers. Stores do this so you don't need to spray as much to get a taste of what its really like- so well done- your £28 was very well spent!
