A friend worked for them. Does anybody really want to buy Polish perfumes in the UK?

"A friend worked for them. Does anybody really want to buy Polish perfumes in the UK?"

I've smelt the perfume samples folder, with the list of what number is what, and from the fragrances I am familiar with to what I smelt I honestly cannot tell any difference! So to me, it doesn't really matter if it comes from Poland, or anywhere in the world for that matter. If it smells good, and above board, then surely that's got to be a good thing. I bought one and I'm really happy with it. Some people I know just flat out refuse to even smell the samples as, their words, "if it isn't the named brand then I'm not interested." Which is fair enough in a way, but quite superficial at the same time.

Copy perfumes often don't last as long or have the full array of different 'notes' so they don't fade in the same way.

I'd rather find a cheaper perfume I like for itself than wear a copy that just isn't quite the same.

These perfumes oil content are actually higher than what you would buy in Debenhams or wherever else. So they actually last longer. They are not copies if they are sourced from the same manufacturer that the high street brands source it from, right?

They can't make exact copies of the originals so even if they are made by the same manufacturer they will not be the same.

Exactly. The research I have done I have found that FM source the same fragrance as the high street brands do. So they are the same. But what the high street do to make money is sell as a Eu de toilette so there is only around 6% fragrance oil in their bottles. FMs aren't Eu de toilette, they are classed as Eu de Parfum due to the higher oil content.

And also, you cannot copyright a fragrance. Only a brand/packaging can be copyrighted

I never knew you could not copyright perfumes...I would of thought that Chanel, Gucci etc have some sort of protection on their perfumes..

The likes of Chanel do have a limited amount of protection, like copyrighting the brand name, bottle and other stuff regarding the brand mentioned. But as the fragrance is produced by a company who sell only to a select few companies, Chanel, Christian Dior and other high street names, and also this company called FM. Check the fragrance manufacturer out on Wikipedia, they are called Drom

Genie Mac!

When doing the research I was comparing the prices and saw that Chanel sell a Eu de Parfum in a 35ml bottle for £80 or so quid!

Compared to FMs price that is ridiculous!

The reason for this whole thread anyway is because I have been offered to sell it, but I wanted to do some research first, and from what I have found it has mostly been very promising!
