Frequently Asked Questions
Expertly blended in the UK. Unbeatable longevity. No designer markups.
Presence. Our core range is an Eau de Parfum blended at 20-25% fragrance oil, which gives most people 6 to 8 hours of wear. The Intense Collection is built to last longer, project further and carry deeper base notes, with 8 hours or more typical on skin.
Intense starts at £7.95 against £4.99 for the core range, so it comes down to how much the extra wear and presence matter to you.
Intense versions are available for most of our popular scents. Look for the black Intense label on the product page.
For most people, yes. You need fewer sprays for the same effect, so a bottle tends to go further despite the higher price. One or two sprays is usually enough for all-day wear.
It is the same fragrance profile as our core Eau de Parfum, with more depth and more staying power.
Most people get 8 hours or more from the Intense range on skin, compared with 6 to 8 hours from our standard Eau de Parfums. That is usually enough to carry through a full day and into the evening without reapplying. On clothes, the scent often lasts longer again.
As with any fragrance this varies with your skin type and where you apply it. Pulse points, meaning the wrists, neck and inner elbow, give the best longevity because body heat helps project the scent.
One or two is enough for most people, sometimes just one. This catches people out if they are used to applying an Eau de Toilette more liberally, because the Intense range projects further and lasts longer per spray.
Start with one, give it a few minutes to settle on your skin, then add a second if you want more presence. Over-applying is easy to do and hard to undo.
The same fragrance profile, but not identical in character. The opening is less sharp, and the heart and base notes come through more prominently from the start.
Most people describe the Intense as richer and smoother than the standard version rather than simply louder. If you already know and like the Eau de Parfum, you will recognise it immediately. It just feels more settled.
It can, if applied directly to fabric at close range. That is true of any fragrance.
We would recommend spraying onto skin rather than clothes. Pulse points on the wrists, neck and inner elbow are best, as body heat helps project the scent naturally. If you do want to spray onto clothing, hold the bottle 6 to 8 inches away to reduce the chance of residue marking the fabric.
Dark or delicate fabrics are the most susceptible.
Yes, and you can try it properly first. We know you need to wear a fragrance to tell whether it suits you, so a few test sprays are absolutely fine.
If it is not what you hoped for, return it within 30 days of delivery for a full refund or exchange. We just ask that the bottle has not been heavily used and comes back in its original packaging.
Yes. Every bottle in the Intense range is 100% vegan and cruelty-free, and blended in the UK, exactly like the rest of our range.

This has taken over as my favourite every day perfume ive already used a lot of it
Just love this. I wore it to the airport and then used the original at duty free even gave them both the shake test. Either way smell and bubbles seem identical.
And the longevity of the parfum is amazing.truly great.
I bought this as a gift for my sister who heard a lot about lost cherry and of course I had to smell it to see what the hype was about and it just doesn't disappoint. A rich opening of dark cherry that then settles down to a warm creamy smell and a slightly spicy smell. I can see why it's popular and I'll definitely be purchasing this for myself in the future.
This has become one of my favorite! I was unsure in the beginning because I thought it would be feminine but I was wrong. It’s so good that I’ll never buy the OG from now on.
I have no words.. It smells divine! For ya’ll who doubted.. i was doubting hard until i risk it, and i did not regret at all. yes it’s that good!! i Looove IT!!!!
I really really love the perfume, smell so nice and expensive. Im so addicted to it, like i want to use it all the time. I will surely order again.
PS: costumer service are so helpful and responding to my querries so patiently and fast. Thank you 👍👍
The actual perfume is stunning, lasts for ages & smells so much like lost cherry. The bottle top however is not fully fitted, it was put on wonky so a small amount had leaked out in transit. Also, I can’t put it in a handbag as it leaks out when not upright. Not a problem as it sprays perfectly well so I have purchased a travel perfume bottle and I’m dispensing it in to it. It wouldn’t deter me from ordering again as it looks like a simple error.
Bought for my wife. She absolutely loves it. It smells really nice . Never smelt the actual one so can't comment how similar the smell is to that. Put some on the back of my hand and after a couple of washes I can still smell it. So I bet this will last a long time when wearing it
I absolutely love this fragrance!!!! It is long lasting and everyone asks me what fragrance I use. I would definitely recommend having, you will not be disappointed!!!!
I only got a tester cause I wasn’t sure if I would like but I definitely love love the smell and I will be getting the biggest bottle you have lol thanks so much ✌🏾
444 smells absolutely beautiful all of a 4 day turn around ordered Monday with there 1-2 shipping can't moan at £5 ordered the 3 piece intense deal and I do not regret it one bit what stunning fragrances they are well worth the money
I first got it in the sample size 5ml and since I loved it so much I got it in the 100ml and it smells like cherries and I loved the scent I felt like it suited me
This perfume is great. Normally I don't like perfume because i get sick of the smell after a while. But this perfume I can wear all day. The smell is great sweet but not too sweet. Sadly the delivery was to late. I had originally bought this for my wedding but it got delivered the day after. But nevertheless great perfume I will wear a lot
This is my go to fragrance at the moment and my 3rd bottle, I love fine fragrance and have many bottles but can not justify the hefty £200 (50ml) for the original, in my opinion this is a fantastic version. This scent is sexy, it's bold and I get comment after comment.
I bought 444 on a whim. I wanted to buy the 3 perfumes on the deal and didn't know which one to buy as the 3rd option. The description mentioned candy and I wondered if it would be too sweet for me. Thankfully I ordered it anyway, as I love this fragrance.
It's bold, with sweet tones, but it's a more complex scent, layers of fragrance that you would expect from an expensive perfume. It's long lasting, so I get complements on it all day.
I generally go off perfume quite quickly but this one is a keeper. Order it, you will not be disappointed!
