Don't buy
January 4, 2017

Very disappointed never been in this position before the products looks bit old and opened and when I checked the codes I found out majority of them are expired. I wanted to return them but I didn't have time so I'm not sure what to do with them now.

I've been ordering from fragrance direct for a couple of years now. I often thought my prada perfumes were really weak and lost their small after a short time. I've ordered prada Luna rossa for my husband and sons on more than one occasion. They agree with me you have to use about 20 sprays to actually smell it and then the smell just disappears. I don't know why I carried on reordering. I won't be in the future. It's far too expensive to be fake or imitation. I've spent hundreds of pounds with this company. They should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves ripping people off like this, especially at Christmas which is when I and many others order for Christmas presents. Prada is a very strong distinct fragrance. Not the pathetic excuse for a fragrance you offer and supply. Just out to con people. Disgusting.

I like them...
March 14, 2011

I like them... i found them last year when my sis needed a specific perfume which i couldnt find on amazon or in any highstreet shops... and they had it and also at the cheapest price than anywhere else... and this site has got lots of fragrances men and women really cheap priced and their delivery within Uk is only £1.95 which is cheaper than amazon or other sites...

Fragrance Direct Scams
February 15, 2019

I'm terribly disappointed... I've bought Olympea of Paco Raban for several years and I'm pretty sure that it isn't the original. I also bought Invictus for my partner. After few hours the perfume loses the strengths I'm sure this one is a fake imitation..

Wouldn't buy from them again, as just am very particular about gift sets being in perfect condition, but this one was damaged but had to post it immediately to the Isle of man a. Way. I think the gift set I bought (Daisy Dream by Marc Jacobs) may have been returned to fragrance direct before as you could tell by the damage inside the box the perfume & cream had been removed and put back in again! Fragrance Direct did offer a refund or replacement, but that was to late.

Excellent
July 22, 2018

I have read few negative comments and I think is unfair, contacted costumers services really kind & helpful in every way. The free delivery come with a tracking number, I knew exactly the delivery date, I choose the gift packaging excellent, the product is authentic it was 200 mil Boss blue night and it does smell as the one I bought in Harrods but much cheaper. Why I am writing this review because some people are hinting the perfumes dont smell right.
I am happy with it

Scam roulette
December 9, 2020

Order since November still is not dispatched, I've got excuses like "black friday's fault" or "Royal mail's fault". I was told to wait until "magic" day comes, so I could cancel the order, though they took my money already and admit order is not dispatched, but I have to wait ayway.
I've already written reviews on other websites, for example, on Trustpilot, where fake good reviews appear the next minute after one real bad is posted. So, obviously, bad review is drown down and nobody sees it.

Placed a order in Dec 2020, confirmed, paid, waited 5 weeks-- FRAGRANCE DIRECT cancelled at the end of January invoking problems with DPD delivery service and BREXIT -- promised to myself never again order from them
But 3 MONTHS later on 13 April, I placed a order again and same thing happened: paid, order got confirmation and after 3 weeks FRAGRANCE D cancelled again on me invoking the same problem with DPD delivery service and BREXIT.
If you're from outside UK due yourself a service and don't waste time ordering with FRAGRANCE DIRECT!

Read small letters
November 20, 2021

Nothing wrong with products but when I order and pay for next day delivery don't assume its next day.
Their trick is next day from dispatch.
So be aware when you pay extra as you won't get it back

All the perfumes are original and last long. I love their promotions and the quick delivery.
The only thing which I would really improve if I would be the owner of fragrancedirect, I would ship all the the orders over 20 pounds for free.
If you ever think of buying your fav perfume online, go to fragrancedirect!

Fake perfume

I ordered Davioff cool water. But I found only water in the bottle. Did not find a little smell. I had to return the parcel and paid 18 euro for postage cost. They only returned my product cost. Never again

I've never ordered from FragranceDirect before however I ordered a perfume, for my self and it arrived. I smelt it and the scent is totally different it's got like a alcoholic smell to it. I waited for it to set and I can't smell nothing it's like I'm smelling air and I don't know why I bothered buying it. Its just a waste of my money and it's not from u. K it's from France. I wont be buying from this website ever again. I've bought the brand I ordered before I know the smell and it's not authentic it's not the same so I thought I'd write this review so nobody goes through what I've been through and as a warning not to waste you're money.

Awful unreliable service
January 25, 2018

I ordered for a special birthday was utterly disappointed when my order never arrived so I phoned told them my order was very late and they apologised and said they would be my order out that day or the latest the next day the 25 January now had email saying my order will not be delivered until the 26 January this is frustrating annoying and totally unacceptable never even had an email to say your order is going to be late in the beginning will never use this company again so unreliable

I got an email offering free eye cream gift timed at 7.30am and so@ midday I went online to order over £260 of goods yet at checkout no eye cream. When I phoned I got told that theyd sold out and there was nothing they were prepared to do. Theyre attitude was too bad, not interested. There was no apology, no solution offered and the guy could not care less I would not use them again. Awful service

I ordered an item online, and received a different one. When I called up, the lady was friendly, but said the images on the website are for 'illustration purposes'. I base my purchase on what I see! So I wouldn't recommend this website, as the items pictured may not be what you reiceive. It's a bit of a lottery. Now I have to faff around returning the item. Disappointed.

I am not sure why so many bad reviews as I've never had a problem and love all the products purchased for my Christmas presents and for myself. Please give this company a break and see for yourself.

BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE
April 30, 2019

BE CAREFUL WHEN ORDERING WITH THIS COMPANY. IT'S SAYS FREE DELIVERY OVER £20 AND OVER £50 INTERNATIONAL. YOU DON'T GET THIS AUTOMATICALLY AND IF YOU HAVE USED ANOTHER PROMO CODE, YOU DON'T GET IT AT ALL. IT IS FALSE ADVERTISING REALLY, JUST WHEN YOU SPEND AN HOUR SHOPPING, YOU DISCOVER AT CHECKOUT THAT YOU'RE NOT GETTING FREE DELIVERY. COMPLAINED TO CUSTOMER SERVICE BUT THEY ARE WORSE THAN USELESS, DIDN'T CARE. WON'T BE BACK IN A HURRY!
