needed a gift set for my dad

I needed a fragrance gift set for my dad's birthday and wanted something that wasn't the usual aftershave. The site let me filter by notes, which made it easy to find a woody one. Set arrived well packed and he was pleased. Good range.

Not quite what i pictured

Ordered a fragrance after seeing it online and it looked a lot darker in the picture than in real life. The bottle is smaller than I thought too. Delivery was quick and nothing's broken, just a bit underwhelming for the price I paid.

Better than my usual shop

Used to pick up my perfume from the chemist but this beat their price by a fair bit for the same size. Ordered on my phone during lunch and it was done in a minute. Arrived in three days, box in good nick.

Rollerball perfume arrived quick

Ordered the little rollerball version of a fragrance I'd been sniffing in shops for ages and it turned up two days later. Smells exactly like the bottle I tried. Packed nicely too, tiny box, no fuss. Will probably order again when this one runs out.

Tried the sample first

Ordered a mini of a perfume I'd seen on tiktok, it came in a padded bag and arrived the next day. Smells just like the reviews said so I'm happy, will order the full size next payday.

better than the high street one

Honestly I'd been buying the same scent from a department store for years and this was cheaper for the same bottle size. Took about four days to arrive which was fine. One small thing, the box was a bit squashed on one corner but the bottle was fine. Would order again.

Smell was fine but took ages

Didn't really know what to expect as this was my first order here. The perfume smells nice and matches the notes listed. Delivery took nearly two weeks though, and when I emailed to ask where it was the reply came back after three days. Got there in the end but it was a bit of a wait.

Been ordering for years

I've been a customer for about six years now, mostly for my husband's shaving products and my own perfume. The thing that keeps me coming back is the reorder history, I can get my usual within a couple of clicks. Lately delivery has been a few days slower than it used to be, though it's still reliable. Packaging is always tidy.

Picked this over two other sites

I compared three different sites before buying a body spray and this one came out ahead on price and range. The other two wanted more for the same product and had fewer colours to pick from. Got my order within a week and it smelled fresh. Happy with it.

Cologne was a bit pricier than elsewhere

I know my colognes and I went looking for a specific eau de toilette I've worn for years. The bottle matched the listing and the batch code looked right. Price was a bit higher than some other retailers though, so I had to think about it. Arrived in three days, no complaints there.

Better range than other sites

Compared this with two other retailers for a niche fragrance and this was the only one with the flanker I wanted. Price was a little above the cheapest option but the range made up for it. Delivery took a few days, nothing to complain about.

The sample pack for my girlfriend

Bought a discovery sample pack for my girlfriend's birthday, she's really into fragrance and was buzzing when she opened it. Got it in two days which was miles faster than I thought. Lots of little vials so she can try them all. Good shout.

The gift wrap option

What got me was the gift wrap option at checkout, free and tidy. Ordered a set for my sister and it came wrapped with a card. Delivery was quick and it all looked lovely. Will use again.

a very satisfactory purchase

I can say without hesitation that this was a satisfactory purchase. I ordered a discovery set and the samples were a generous size, enough to properly test each one. Delivery was prompt and the packaging was secure. I'd happily return.

Needed a replacement bottle

My usual aftershave had run out and I needed a replacement quickly before a family wedding. I found the same bottle here and the listing was clear about size. It came through promptly and the scent is exactly what I expected. A sound service.

First order was pleasant

Took a chance on this site for the first time and I'm glad I did. The fragrance I chose smells just like the description and the bottle came well wrapped. Checkout was simple and I got a confirmation straight away. A decent first experience.

Needed a decant for travel

I needed a decant for a work trip to Edinburgh and didn't want to carry a full bottle through airport security. The sample size was exactly right and the label showed what it was. Quick to arrive and everything was labelled clearly.

First order, mostly happy

This was my first time ordering from here, I'd been put off buying scent online before. The bottle arrived in good nick and was exactly what I'd picked. The only slight niggle was that the returns form took a bit of finding on the site and I had to look twice. Otherwise straightforward.

The sample size is brilliant

The tiny sample vials were the bit that sold me, you get to test three scents before committing to a full bottle. Really handy for someone like me who can never decide. Checkout was quick too.
