Absolutely awful service!!! Joined the membership ordered 3 weeks ago next day delivery still not received order, lied to by customer service over and over again raised a complaint was told within 72 hours someone would contact me with a resolution a week later and still not heard a thing from them and now they are ignoring my emails!!! I am taking legal action. Would never recommend this service, a shambolic service from the start and 22 emails later still no resolution!!

Do not ever purchase anything from this company - they have polite, but useless customer service. I paid for a next day delivery which took three weeks. Two months later and ten emails, the refund which they acknowledge I am entitled too, has just not happened

I went in the branch of Redhill Surrey. The young lady who served me was pleasant and helpful. My complaint is therefore directed to the company itself. First and foremost the the product I bought was far below in quality than the sample I tried. Secondly they do not issue paper receipts but ask you for your e-mail in order to send you one. The problem is that first you might not have an e-mail, secondly, if you have to go to another shop which might also sell perfumes, you might get involved in a embarrassing situation if you cannot produce a receipt to show that your purchase is from a different shop. The excuse they give you is that they want to save on paper. By the way I am still waiting to received a receipt although I received an e-mail from them asking me to give them a score. NO I WOULD NOT RECCOMEND THAT SHOP

Ordered something before Christmas for next day delivery. Never arrived, and now almost 2 months later, I'm still chasing a refund. They confirmed they can see I haven't received the order. But refuse to do anything about it. Do not trust this companies service!!

Ordered a whole rang of products on 23rd October. Only some arrived £70 worth of stuff missing. I have spent hours sending photos and talking to people on the phone. Nothing has happened and it’s now the 24th January … 3 months!! They always v reasonable and always something more for me to do. I would never use this company again. Anyone tried the small claims court ?

Absolutely awful service and support from The Fragrance Shop. Very unprofessional and considering that there are so many complaints I wonder how they are getting away with such bad service. I am still waiting for an order that was supposed to be delivered on the 21st of December. Customer service are about as helpful as a stone. Getting absolutely nowhere. Shocking, Not recommended. AVOID!!!!!!!!

Hello I waiting for refund for over 5 weeks for order Order placed on 04-Dec-21. Why it is so complicated to refund me????? Have sent millions of emails, was trying to call, no one answer. Zero communication, poor customer service, unprofessional and irresponsible people working over there. This caused me so much stress for nothing.

This is a bad review for bad customer service. I returned a product and I have waited 10 days for a refund, which I still haven’t received. So I have had to escalate it with PayPal as I’m not getting anywhere with this company, the only thing I’m getting is EXCUSES! BEWARE IF YOU EVER NEED TO REURN AN ITEM AND WANTING A REFUND!!

I have worn Chanel Coco Mademoiselle for twenty years and purchased from this company as my usual supplier was out of stock. £124 intense, thought I would opt for intense as I love this perfume and get comments every time I wear it so expected even more of the beautiful aroma as It leaves a trail that lingers. To my horror after applying, the aroma disappears after about half an hour and my partner cannot smell it at all. I’m so disappointed at their response which was they want to send away for testing. After wearing Chanel perfume since the age of twenty that’s 40 years in total, I know this brand and the perfume The Fragrance Shop sent me is most certainly not authentic. DO NOT BUY CHANEL from these people. I am now in dispute and intend to take this matter further

Just shop elsewhere I spent over 100 pound they sent 1 of my items from the 2 I emailed no response. So I rang 35 minutes I was on hold for them to say it is royal mail at fault the box was untampered with but they asked someone in warehouse that said it was in there. It was the only thing my daughter wanted for Christmas and she won't have that now. I now see this happens a lot take your money elsewhere.

Wrong item and refused replacement I do not want to even give this a star. I place an order for my mums bday, i ordered a gift. a week later i got the totally wrong item, 1. missing my mums bday and then she was leaving the country 3 days after i received the wrong item. I wrote and then called the shop asking to get the item replace immediately they insisted i get the item returned they will process a refund before given the right item. i explained to them this will take a long time and i need the item quicker than that but they could not help and insisted i still return or find a shop which was no where near me hence ordering the item online in the first place. highly highly disappointment with the service . will never use this site again because it shoes you are not dependable at all. disappointment no helpful person at all. and i am going to go to every review online and report this. not a happy person at all.

Do not buy from this company, I paid for items that never arrived! And it’s been over a month and I’ve still not had a refund or the items! They have palmed me off with every email even said the supplier was checking there stock lol. Ridiculous customer service. Lucky for me they were only the cheaper end frangrances. I think they are hoping I just give up hassling them. Totally and utterly ripped off!! Please if you are buying presents for people do not trust this company.

I have been to the store and made a purchase of 2 bottles of Barbour perfume. I was asked very briefly if I wanted to become a member to receive 20% off. I said yes only to see that £15 was added to my receipt! I am furious about the way this was done and the member of staff was very sneaky about this and failed to even mention that there was a charge! I will not be accepting this and am requesting a refund of this obscene deal. Also, I got home and opened the perfume only to find that is has been leaking out of the lid so I feel totally ripped off. This was a gift for my mum for Christmas and it is damaged.
