FM perfumes? Cheap but genuine?

Someone I know has started selling these. Basically she's said they are genuine perfumes, but straight from the er...perfumery (??) Rather than packaged by chanel or whoever. Verry much cheaper. Anyone know if this is true? I can't believe it is.

They're not genuine. They'll be copies. That's why they're cheap.

As far as I know they are real perfumes, but not made by the genuine brand. Generic versions that smell similar.

I was given a sample of one, smelled similar but doesn't last as long, but also cheap as chips.

If you want to try out nice perfumes I'd recommend scent samples UK and fragrance samples UK. They sell sample sizes of nice perfumes from £3-5, good to try them out for a few wears before spending a fortune!

They claim to come from the same factory as whichever famous brand perfume is made at. If you think about it, that claim doesn't mean a lot. An acquaintance of mine used to sell them, & tried to get me into it (they are a MLM, beware!) I thought they were ok, not unpleasant, but the sample she sprayed on for me did not last half as long as my usual perfume, nor did it smell quite as nice - despite claiming to be a "dupe" of the specific perfume I had. I suppose they're ok if you're just after something cheap.

My friend stopped doing them after a year or so. Obviously there wasn't much money to be made in it... says a lot, really.

Horrible pyramid scheme. I round keep well clear of them.

They claim to use the same base scent and perfumery or something i t is copies and one of those schemes you will be hounded by your friend to buy something she won't leave you alone because she spent £££s on her kit and is brainwashed

I feel like I should get commission from these guys: The Perfume People do very good dupes. If you email them they'll send you their list of famous perfumes vs their names for them.

Tbh I'm not a perfume sort of person. Just saw this on fb and thought, as I'm not the sort to spend £££ I might get one or two. I'm not going to be recruited or sucked in. The claim is it's the EXACT same perfume . I don't know how they get away with it!
