They are cheap, my fave perfume half price!

But is a genuine site? Does anyone know?

I have used them several times and never had a problem. Just waiting for an order at the moment.

OnlyANinja · 09/01/2012 17:16

I believe so, yes.

PestoHurricano · 09/01/2012 17:18

Oh yes Smile

LadyBeckenham · 09/01/2012 17:20

LadyBeckenham · 09/01/2012 17:20

They are quite good, but as they are Jersey based delivery time can be ++++ I find fragrancemad link often has similar stock at good prices and quicker delivery.

I also need to know about 'Matt'???!

WhereTheWildThingsWere · 09/01/2012 17:40

I have used them loads and they have been fab. They sell on Amazon if you are worried and want more protection.

Who is Matt? (other than my hideous ex Grin).

The3Bears · 09/01/2012 17:41

Ive ordered from them a few times and they've been great, delivery a bit slow but the prices are great.

cornsilxksxi · 09/01/2012 17:45

yes I've shopped with them - bargainous Grin

LadyBeckenham · 09/01/2012 17:49

Ah, sorry, I was thinking of one of their resellers. Ignore Blush

1sassylassy · 09/01/2012 17:52

I remember Matt and the perfume threadGrin,talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

SecretNutellaFix · 09/01/2012 17:56

Oh goodness, yes Matt.

Way to ruin your business in one easy rant.

HeidiHole · 09/01/2012 18:09

Come on you have to tell us more about matt what did he rant about?

1sassylassy · 09/01/2012 18:22

He had a company,an mner bought from him,he sent her the wrong stuff,she started a thread thinking she had been scammedbecause after her initial phone call,he wouldnt ansewr her calls or her emails.He came on here defending his company and accusing the op of threats ,he didnt make a very good job of it,he mouthed off mn on FB and Twitter and said thread went pfft.Sorry its brief but I,m supposed to be cooking teaGrin

CroissantNeuf · 09/01/2012 18:26

Does anyone else think that 'Cheap Smells' is a really, really crap name for a website/company?

It just conjures up all sorts of horrible thoughts in my head...or maybe thats just me!

But, to answer your question, yes they are genuine AFAIK.

SoupDragon · 09/01/2012 18:27

Matt wasn't from Cheapsmells though was he? Isn't that just where he ordered the stuff from?

SecretNutellaFix · 09/01/2012 18:31

that is true, soupy.

SoupDragon · 09/01/2012 18:46

Wasn't he from shitestinks.co.uk?

Feenie · 09/01/2012 18:50

Oh yes, Matt was hilarious. He told us we were a poor imitation of Netmums! And slagged off his marriage on Twitter. We basically watched the PR of his business implode over the space of of about two and half hours Grin

1sassylassy · 09/01/2012 18:57

twitter,you have to scroll down to the 23rd december, facebook MNHQ came on a later thread to say that they only said the top part,the bottom part is his own work of fiction.

Trumpton · 09/01/2012 19:23

Yes I have used Cheap Smells.

Yes they are great.

Yes it's a crap name but it sticks in your mind for that very reason , < clever marketing >

HeidiHole · 09/01/2012 19:54

Thanks sassy lassy! Quite amusing although prob not for the mnetter in question who was having trouble with him!
