“I'd say 90% of the perfumes I received smelt as though they'd oxidised or something, like they'd gone off?! Not pleasant. Difficult to cancel, you can't do it online or just cancel the payments you have to call them. Wouldn't recommend.”

“Still trying to get a refund 4 months after ordering a Christmas present that never arrived. Keep going around in circles with them - their ‘Customer Service’ is an absolute joke, last reply basically said it was up to me to go to a store in person & deal with it there?!!! What?? I’ll never ever order from this company again. Avoid like the plague as others have said!”

“I would not recommend this service. I was sent the wrong scent on my second month, tried to resolve with customer service who put the phone down on me. Called again to which the phone was answered by someone laughing he then placed me on hold whilst and when he took me off hold he was still laughing. I have just gone on my account to order my next scent and they have already pushed Feb's account to March and I am unable to change this I have rang customer services again to sort and cancel subscription to be told someone will ring you back. I am now on to my bank attempting to stop payments. I also haven't received any of the money off vouchers they promise. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.”

“This company is beyond terrible, the epitome of incompetence. Words fail to convey the depths of my frustration with their abysmal service. Avoid them like the plague, unless you enjoy burning your nerves and receiving nothing in return. They are nothing but scammers, liars, and masters of wasting time.”

“Absolutely awful company and customer service is non existent. They charged me twice for a product, they have promised to refund my money but after nearly 6 weeks I still have no refund. When I phone, they promise it will be sorted. When I email, they promise the refund will be with me in 5 days. This is THEFT and they don't even care. I wonder how many other people they have scammed in this way. If you take a look at the negative reviews, the reply from Fragrance Shop is a standard reply to each and every complaint. They say there is no customer number when some people have included a customer number. They give you an email address to write to and then ignore the emails. I have emailed this address so I know!! Avoid like the plague itself.”

“I like the scent selection, but canceling is a pain. I had to cancel my card after requesting to cancel my membership and being told it was but it wasn't. To top it off, "there are no managers available". Reps don't speak English well and the membership isn't worth it.”

“Back in October 2023 I placed a large order for Christmas presents as my husband is unwell and is due major surgery. On the day the delivery was due I didn't receive an update from Royal mail or The Fragrance Shop, I left it a couple of days knowing that Royal Mail are having difficulties getting parcels and post out in my area. I firstly contacted The Fragrance Shop at their Cape town customer service team and was floored by the rudeness of their staff and that continued every time I called them to ask where my parcel was. I then started to email, exactly the same no care attitude, the parcel was for £560 plus, I have written at least 60 emails over the past 3 months, the best response I received was two weeks ago telling me that I would get a decision in three days time....that was over two weeks ago. So basically I was a loyal customer for years, I was a member of The Fragrance shop discount code scheme, I bought large amounts of scent from them at least twice a year. Absolutely no loyalty or concern about losing me as a customer when I cancelled my TFS membership. They have illegally with held MY money now for 3 months, I was asked to fill in declaration form confirming that I have never received this parcel, now I am doubting that it was ever sent. I have been ignored every time I have asked to speak to managers from The Fragrance Shop, each request has been completely ignored. I have come to the conclusion after reading other reviews that the way I have been treated seems to be common practice for The Fragrance Shop. Never in all my years of shopping online have I ever been treated so abhorrently, simply hoping I will go away, well that is NOT going to happen. If I were to walk into a Fragrance Shop store and helped myself to £560 worth of goods they would be quick enough to have me arrested, so why do they feel they can illegally hold my money for goods that were NEVER delivered to me. I rely on online shopping as I am disabled. I am absolutely devastated by the rudeness and unprofessionalism of The Fragrance Shop. It's an appalling way to treat loyal customers, all the time I shopped with them ALL of my parcels were always just dumped on the doorstep, I should have complained about it the very first time it happened. My contract is with The Fragrance Shop NOT Royal Mail but that's the excuse I have had from The Fragrance Shop,they state on their website....we are not happy if our customers aren't happy.... that's actually such an insult to me to be honest.....they ONLY care about taking your money they don't care a hoot if you don't receive your parcel. The Fragrance Shop are thieves plain and simple. Now I feel I will have to seek legal advice on getting my money back, and I should not be in this position. Wouldn't give a star if possible!”

“Shocking. I've contacted them three times to cancel and each time they tell me it has been cancelled and then the following month I am charged again. They're are theives. Do not subscribe to them, you'll never be able to cancel if you don't block them through your bank.”

“I subscribed to try out a new perfume before committing and getting it in a large size (also great for travel!) Delivery was smooth and I was very happy with the product. I was a little bit worried after seeing that you can’t cancel the subscription on the website yourself and you had to contact customer services. After reading reviews I didn’t have much hope however I was very pleasantly surprised when I emailed to cancel late Sunday evening, and on Monday morning I received an email confirming that my subscription had been cancelled. Very happy and will use again in the future when I want to try something new again.”
