Buyer Beware! Never again
January 15, 2023

Paid for a membership, they didn't apply it. Emailed so many times, nothing apart from auto responses and ones making no sense! One told me they would turn auto renew off on my account as requested. I haven't got a membership as they didn't apply it, but happy to keep my money! It's been weeks and I'm getting nowhere. There is no way I want to give them any more of my money, but I want my money back. Have phoned, eventually got through and was told the membership should be applied, but wasn't. Putting a disput in to my bank as that's my only option now. I am so disappointed as have used them for years with no problems, so what's happened?! Order FWUK*******

Worst Fragrance dupes sold as real & authentic fragrance
January 4, 2023

I am so disappointed and ashamed that I fell for their scam. Their perfume is so watery. It doesn't remotely smell like the genuine Fragrance that itis meant to smell like.

POOR POOR POOR
December 29, 2022

Without ranting too much. Promised delivery of DIOR SAVAGE for a Christmas gift.Purchased 3 items, only 2 delivered. Don't bother emailing or phoning them. Zero response from emails. Load of bolony from phone calls. Out of funds. No Christmas present. No joy. In short, absolutely shambolic company

Frauds
December 24, 2022

This company have saved my back details and renewed a membership I didn't take out. Becareful if you pay by card in store they save your data. Only way of cancelling is to block your bank card. Frauds.

Dreadful Customer Service
December 22, 2022

Ordered perfume for my daughter for Christmas but when my parcel arrived the perfume was missing.
Trying to my contact by phone was practically impossible so thought I'd try my luck with an email. Managed to get an initial response, after chasing, but no attempt to resolve my issue. Have now sent another two emails but without any reply. Dreadful customer service.
Will never purchase from this awful company again!

Beware!
December 19, 2022

Same complaint as some others - charged £15 for a renewal of account. I never opened as account with them; they only got my email address as the sales lady said it was their company procedure.
Beware.
I'm trying to resolve this with their customer services and will report back.

Misrepresentation of Product
December 13, 2022

Ordered two items. Chanel and Issey Mikake 8m eau de parmum. According to website there's free atomiser with the latter. Items came Issey Makae apparently missing, free cheap plastic atomiser there. No phone number on website found on Google. 40 minutes to get through to someone who tells me the Issey Miyake is in the free plastic atomiser? Maybe that's true but how do I know? Smells like it but could be fake and the packaging is cheap and horrible. Customer services told me its clear from the website it comes packaged like that- I checked IT ISN'T usual glass spray bottle shown. I now have to give a gift which looks fake and cheap. Wont be using them again will be reporting to trading standards

One star too many
December 3, 2022

Ordered what I thought was Ariana grande -cloud for my daughter. The page clearly advertises the bottle and tbh I didn't look at the details at it looked legit.
It said free atomiser, I thought bonus! Turns out the free atomiser is the perfume absolutely reeks and I am pretty sure Ariana grande wouldn't put her name to a stench like this. Smells like it's gone off. Nothing pleasant about it

Fraud! Avoid this shop!
September 17, 2022

Ordered two items from them, after waiting 4 weeks for the arrival, decided to chase them. They emailed me back requesting to email them from the same email my paypal account is registered. I explained it is an old student email I do not have access to it anymore. Provided all my details requesting my order or refund. They have not done either! No order or money! Fraud!

Auto Renewed - No Refund
July 30, 2022

TFS auto renewed a subscription that I wasn't aware of. I have asked multiple times for a refund and they refused. Its only £15 but that's not the point. Poor customer service. I will be avoiding this company from now on and I would advise that EVERYONE STAY AWAY FROM THE MY TFS Scheme.
Awful Service.

Extremely dissatisfied
May 11, 2022

I'm extremely dissatisfied with my purchase as the perfume scent is terrible. I'm convinced it's a fake as it smells far too overpowering to a point that it's given me a headache. I'm well used to Armani Si as it's one of my favourites but I definitely will not be buying from The Fragrance Shop again.

Order never received
September 16, 2021

Placed an order on next day delivery, Order never arrived. Was promised call backs several time - never happened - Wrote emails several times and just looked like a basic response back with nothing meaningful.

YOU CANT BELIEVE ANYTHING THE "PROMISE" YOU.

All they seem to do when you get through to them on the phone is just say what they want you to hear so you get off the phone.

Well im sorry but they have delt with the wrong person here.

AVOID, VILE CUSTOMER SERVICE
June 16, 2021

I wish i could give less, 1 star is a compliment. Gift set for GF's birthday was spilled an damaged upon arrival still in box, empty! As you can see by the image the packaging was undamaged so this could only mean the bottle was not secured! 2 weeks of back and forthing with "Laurentiu U" got me nowhere. After 7 images of every conceivable angle they closed my case. No refund no return no nothing! Thanks for the waste of a time gift, il never shop with u again your customer service is horrendous your process of complaints is terrible and worse still you dont even care! As of this morning iv had to initiate a returns that i will have to travel and go out of my way to send back, because of your messup not mine, im the customer?! I order online, it arrives. Thats how it works, if i wanted to walk about id have gone to a store! Useless utterly useless. AVOID TRUST ME, THEY COULDNT CARE LESS. AVOID!
