I paid full price for the £150 one if it makes it any better!

We can have our own little support group 😁

We may want to buy more than one!

Exactly.

I think we may all be in it soon if they start reducing advents in the next few weeks . I am waiting for Sephora and Glossybox advent reductions to make my day as I paid full price for these ( actually used a code for Glossybox but almost full price)😀

Some posters on the perfumistas thread saying their box has been recalled so if you get it today you are lucky. I wonder how many they sent out before they realised.

Hi.
Do you have a link for the perfumista thread? I can't seem to find it x

I must admit I am glad the Perfume society have picked up their IT glitch. I didn’t use the offer as it didn’t sit right with me (no judgement on those who did) . I think particularly as this is a small enterprise, stuff like this can really affect their bottom line hopefully they haven’t lost too much money from it

To me it seemed like they were giving the discovery box for free if you signed up for the subscription. Glossybox and others do this from time to time . I haven't received mine yet , although even if it is cancelled I will continue with subscription for a year or so . I think it's worse if you cancel straight away , especially if you have received a freebie by error .

I got delivery notification mine was coming today between 12.30 -14-30. Just went on to the tracking and it says Item is now being returned to sender. I did order mine not long after @JoRaRaRa posted so it could have come Friday like others but I guess I've just missed out.

Oh well. As I mentioned earlier I was feeling a bit guilty about it so I don't mind that much.

Puravida23 · 03/11/2025 14:48

@Caramelandsalt I knew it was an obvious IT glitch for Perfume Society as I messed about with it and could see I could put multiple boxes in and it still showed just the subscription box charge but my profession is quite IT based so I think I recognised it because of that . I can see how some people might have believed it was a gift with purchase though and on the plus side hopefully a lot of people like you will keep their subscriptions and they will end up with a bigger customer base so not a complete loss

Ive been found out! After I received my Perfume Society order on Friday, I decided that I woukd take out a subscription, and thought that the Essence Deluxe box would make a lovely birthday present for a friend, so added everything in the same order as a couple of others did, and received an email confirming just the cost of the subscription. I’ve just had an email to say that they’ve noticed there is a problem in their system so I won’t be getting the perfume box 😆😆. So well done to those of you who managed to get a free box before they realised!

I got the message this morning….. gutted that I’m not getting the deluxe box, sadly I can’t justify buying it as well. Well done to those who got both!

Does anyone have a link for the Charlotte Tilbury stockings. I can only find the ‘build your own’ one on the website.

Thelifeofawife · 03/11/2025 15:18

For those who have tried JAG not a perfume, I have put it on today and it smells so familiar. I’m thinking maybe like D&G light blue. Anyone else think the same or am I going crazy 🤪

Isn't it one of those skin scents that work with body chemistry so it smells different to everyone? I think Glossier You is supposed to be the same.

Have just checked the status of my Perfume Society order on Dx email and it says its being returned to sender . I haven't had any communication from PS though so I'm a bit miffed about that .

They posted on the perfume thread about an hour or so ago then shortly after the post went vamoosh. 👀

The gist of the post was we are very sorry about the glitch, the box wasn't meant to be free, thanks for people letting us know it was being discussed on MN. We will be contacting customers with orders.

I reported that post. Not sure if they're on this thread too 👀but I think its inappropriate to be contacting customers in that way. They already have the email address of everyone who ordered.

Agree. That was my thought. I don't even really mind I haven't got it as I know it was a glitch but just send emails out explaining.

£15 of Glamour if it appeals to anyone bringing it to £150. I'd risk holding off for more for this one. https://beautyadventcalendar.net/glamour-advent-calendar-2025/

Caramelandsalt · 03/11/2025 17:57

For the cost of returning all the boxes , then redelivering the subscription it would have been as cost effective to just let the customer keep the ones that had been dispatched. I'm not sure about my subscription now as I saw on the other thread it wasn't really worth the money , plus lack of communication doesn't bode well.

pinkchampagne1 · 03/11/2025 18:01

If anyone is tempted by the Elemis deal, the code WELL10 takes another £10 off and TCB are offering 8% cash back too. Discount doesn’t show until you add payment details. Still haven’t pressed the ‘confirm order’ button but am tempted!

I thought that post was inappropriate too. Recalling parcels when they’re literally a few streets away from people is crazy to me. And then not communicating with the customer (I’ve still received no email from them) but posting on Mumsnet instead is just 🤯

2025istheyeari · 03/11/2025 18:06

Yep, just coming on to post that too @pinkchampagne1, I’ve ordered
as really like the night and day creams, and keen to try the new rose.

Update apprently £20 of Glamour with TREAT20 from Beauty detective.
