Fragrance Avenue

I needed a travel size scent that would get through airport security without any fuss, as I'm off to Edinburgh every month for work. I'd never bought from them before so I was a bit nervous about the sizing. The 10ml bottles were exactly as described and came well wrapped. One thing though, the checkout asked me to create an account and I had to reset my password twice before I could get in.

The first thing I noticed was how many sample sizes they offer before you commit to a full bottle. I'd been burned before buying blind so this was a relief. The sample came fast and the scent was spot on for what I wanted. Ordering was simple and I got a confirmation straight away.

Decent site and the stuff smells good, but it's a bit pricier than some of the other places I looked at. Delivery was quick, got it the next day. The filters on the site are a bit fiddly though, took me ages to find what I wanted. Wouldn't say no to ordering again.

If you know your fragrances this is the place to order from, the range of oud and amber blends is better than most shops I've been to. Prices are fair for the quality and the site lets you filter by note family without much faff. My parcel came in two days, well wrapped with the batch number on the label. I've already bought two more for friends.

Compared to paying full price in town this was miles cheaper for the same bottle. Ordered on my phone during my lunch break and it took about two minutes. Arrived in a couple of days.

Compared to the department store version of the same eau de parfum this was a clear step up, the citrus opening lasts longer and the dry down is warmer without being heavy. I've been wearing fragrances for about twenty years so I notice these things. Bottle arrived well packed, the scent is spot on and the price was noticeably lower than counter prices in Leeds. Happy with it.

Ordered the cologne on Tuesday night and it was on the doormat Thursday morning. Checkout was quick on my phone. Packaging was fine, a bit of a rattle in the box but nothing broke. Only niggle was the confirmation email landed in spam for me.

I'd looked at a few sites before settling on this one because the price on the bottle I wanted was lower here. Ordered the aftershave and it came in good time. Smell is exactly what I wanted, woody and clean. Nothing to fault really.

Got this instead of the one I usually grab from the shop and honestly it's better, smells more expensive. Ordering was dead simple, took two mins on the app. Turned up next day which was mad.

Good value for the money, that's the main thing. The bottle lasts ages and the price per spray is hard to beat. Delivery took a day longer than they quoted but it still arrived in one piece.

Went with this over a boutique in Harrogate that charges almost double for the same range. The bottle I got smells the same to me and I've been wearing fragrance since the seventies. Order went through without any problems and it came within a few days.

I bought the rose one and it smells lovely, really fresh and not too sweet. The bottle was smaller than I expected though, it's the 30ml not the 50ml I'd been picturing, which I should have checked more carefully. Delivery was fine and the box was tidy. I'm not sure I'd order that one again but I might try a different scent.

Honestly this is a great place to start if you're new to ordering scents online. Ordered a discovery set first to see what I liked and it arrived well packed in under three days. Customer service answered my question about skin chemistry within the hour. I'll be back for a full bottle soon.

Needed something decent for a night out with the lads and didn't want to spend a fortune. Ordered the one everyone was talking about and it's dead good. Arrived quick, well packed. Would order again for sure.

I needed a last minute present for my mum's fiftieth and was panicking about getting it in time. Found a fragrance set on the site that looked just right. Ordered it on a Friday and it turned up on the Monday, which was perfect. Mum was really chuffed and asked where I got it from.

I needed a fragrance for my sister's wedding and didn't have time to visit a counter. Went with a light floral one that the site suggested and it was spot on for a daytime do. Arrived within three days and the packaging was neat.
