The company are liars

The company are liars. They sent me a 'money off code' that had already expired so was unusable and then sent me a special Halloween offer to spend a certain amount and get a free bottle - offer was not honoured despite meeting the criteria and they have ignored my emails. It seems they send offers that they have no intention of honouring just to get people to order from them, disgusting.

Teesside staff member is a liar

One of the staff from Teesside in the UK is awful. Very nasty person. Avoid avoid avoid. Has no idea how to tell the truth so does not fill me with confidence when it comes to them telling the truth about the products as they have lied lied lied

Don't listen to the poor reviews

Don't listen to the poor reviews, something a bit strange about some of the poor reviews.
I've been buying FM fragrances for approximately 4 years. Most of the fragrances are identical and people comment on my perfume daily ( I work with the public) no matter which fragrance I'm wearing that day it's always positive. I'm not going to say every single fragrance I've purchased from FM is 100% identical to the Branded products I've bought, but I'd say 99% are either identical or very close . I'll be honest in the 4 years of being aware of FM I have never heard any negative comments from anyone that has purchased products from FM.

Absolutely vile smelling perfume which was supposed to smell like Tom Ford, and the sales person I purchased from was a high school friend. A little investigating shows that the likes on her Facebook posts about the products are from other sellers and not customers which is misleading.

Avoid at all costs. Don’t waste your time or money.

This is a big waste of time

This is a big waste of time, you will never make a living of selling perfumes for this company unless you stated 8yrs ago or more!
I decided to use this it for my own personal use if I wanted to buy perfumes instead of wasting my time selling.
I placed an order on the 28/09/22 for £130 worth of goods and today is the 03/10/22 and they have not dispatched my order!
I have been calling for a refund but most of their numbers no longer work and the number that does says that they are busy which is a lie! No matter what time you call and no matter how many times you call it says the same thing!
FM give me my money back! Your service is appalling!

Just another MLM

If you’re thinking of buying the perfume, don’t. You may think you’re supporting a small business but you’re not, you’re supporting the rich people at the top of a pyramid shaped MLM scheme. The majority of people selling FM are losing money and I’m tired of seeing friends being duped into believing they can run a profitable small business this way.

I’m really sad writing this but wish I’d of read this before ordering.
3rd time ordering from Fm world

Ordered last time in 2020 fm18 (coco mademoiselle)
And fm436 intense (olympea). I didn’t care much for the smell of fm18 but the fm436 intense was absolutely beautiful……. I find it an exact match to olympea and it lasts ages especially on clothes. I’d walk past someone and would get a compliment on my perfume.

This time 2022 ordered another fm436 intense as I’m low but I can clearly tell it’s different it smells pretty much the same but the longevity Has changed……. It’s very weak in smell barely lasts on the skin…… I’m gutted!!!!
Also wanted to try others so looked at the most popular ones people ordered. Wanted longevity so opted for intense, I chose fm5 intense (Gucci rush) and fm20 intense (flower bomb). I opted to buy the samples aswell as the perfumes so I didn’t need to open them if I didn’t like.
Fm5 intense I thought smelt horrid and very weak in longevity.
FM20 intense is a lovely smell but it’s so weak and doesn’t last long.

Obviously my thoughts are these perfumes have been modified since I last bought them as usually the intense versions last longer.
Don’t think I’ll be ordering again which is a shame.

Do I, or don't I.buy

A bit hit & miss, some smell great and others nothing like the real thing. I like the Reed Diffusers but they are expensive, so always wait for offers. However, a BIG BEWARE if they accidently get knock over they strip varnish & paint.

Don't waste your money

My partner bought me 2 mens and herself 2 female. 1 of the mens smelt awful and the other nothing like Hugo boss as it was supposed to. The female ones smelt of disinfectant that you would use to mop your floor with. Don't waste your money on this garbage knock off rubbish

Nothing like the real V&R

I bought what was said to be flower bomb and bon bon by Viktor and Rolf, plus the body lotion. I can say that they are nothing at all like the real thing. Cost me around £80. I will stick to the real deal from now on.

Its a hit and miss with Federico Mahora…

Its a hit and miss with Federico Mahora fragrances with me, I bought a few last year, some really good quality, like the dupe for Baccarat Rouge, Dior Addict, Gucci Rush, others are less impressive, the smell of them are pretty close to the originals, but something missing in them, can't explain it, just not long lasting, or no sillage at all. Don't buy Dior Midnight Poison, nowhere near close to the original.

Lovely Alternative To A Discontinued Old Favourite

I'm a big perfume fanatic. I own lots of expensive big brands and lots of cheaper ones. I'm not a perfume snob; if it smells nice then I'll buy it.

My reason for purchasing an FM fragrance was because an old favourite 'Dior Addict' got reformulated and then discontinued. I missed it. So I figured I'd try one of these alternatives to see if it was any good. I bought 'FM142' from a seller on Ebay - 15ml for £11.90 and am actually really impressed with it. It's not an exact dupe for the original but close enough for me to feel like I'm getting to enjoy an old favourite again, without having to pay extortionate amounts for vintage old stock. The sillage is great and the longevity is a pretty decent 6 hours.

I can't speak to the business practices of the company itself as I just bought a single bottle off Ebay. That is a separate issue that I simply cannot comment on.

As for the remarks questioning the way these perfumes are made; it's not that they're made exactly the same way in the same company labs as big brand perfumes, it's that FM buy their aroma-chemicals from the same seller in Germany that supplies them to perfume brands all over the world. The reason many of these don't smell exactly the same is because they're obviously not using the exact same formulation as the originals. FM are identifying a handful of notes present in the originals which give an overall similarity to the fragrance that they are offering an alternative to, and making an approximation of the original. It's not that they're manufactured the exact same way, simply that they obtain their aroma-chemicals from the same place everyone else does.

I've seen a lot of people complain that the fragrance they purchased doesn't smell anything like the one they're hoping to get an identical dupe for and to those people I'd say, maybe opt to purchase one of the little sample vials that sellers offer, before committing to a full bottle. You can pick one up for about £2 on Ebay. Some dupes will smell more like the original than others, largely because some perfumes have much more complicated formulations than others.

Just use samples to try before you buy and understand that if you want the real deal, you're probably going to have to just save up and shell out for the original products. But if you find something you like from the FM range, that's awesome. I'm happy with my 'Dior Addict' alternative and will try a few samples of their other offerings in the near future.

Not sure what all the bad reviews are…

Not sure what all the bad reviews are about but I’ve been buying FM perfume for about 2 years off a family friend and when I moved house then from a lady on Facebook. Always loved the fragrances and found them
To be very similar to top brands at a fraction of the cost. I have now stuck the one similar to coco madamoiselle and always receive complements of ‘ohh that’s lovely what are you wearing?’ Lasts ages too if you buy the intense one. Never had a bad experience

Total Scam

Total Scam. Paid for the goods into my fm account and they took the money, £180, from my phone bill instead and have not refunded the £180 from my fm account, over 4 weeks later.
Avoid at al l costs.
