Perfume body mist spray
When the weather is exceptionally hot, we don’t always want to wear our perfume as the scent is too heavy during summer. Perfume body mist spray gives us the perfect opportunity to wear our favourite fragrance whist still leaving the skin feeling fresh with a gorgeous scent.
FM World offers a range of fragrances and cosmetic products that include body mists. Using a body mist, particularly in the hot weather, can have several benefits and add a touch of scent as we embrace the hot days.
FM 20 Perfume body mist spray-inspired by Victor & Rolf Flower Bomb The benefits of using a perfume body mist spray
Refreshing
Body mists are typically water-based and contain a lower concentration of fragrance oils compared to perfumes or colognes. This makes them lighter and more refreshing and an excellent choice for hot weather.
A quick spritz of body mist can instantly cool you down and leave you feeling refreshed and energised.
Hydration
Many body mists contain moisturising ingredients such as glycerin or aloe vera. We already know how soothing aloe vera products are so these can help keep your skin hydrated in hot and dry weather.
It’s important to prevent it from becoming overly dry or irritated. Our skin is exposed to the sun more than we realise so we need to keep it hydrated in the same way as we do our bodies when we drink water.
Scent
FM World body mists come in four different female scents, so you can choose one that suits your preferences and our scents are inspired by familiar designer perfumes.
■ FM 18 Coco Mademoiselle – Chanel
■ FM 20 Flower Bomb-Victor & Rolf
■ FM372 Aventus For Her- Creed
■ FM 489 Alien – Thierry Mugler
The fragrance provides a pleasant and lasting scent throughout the day, keeping you smelling fresh even in the heat. The mist is very cool too as it settles on the skin. I recently had a colleague comment on my scent and it had been applied several hours prior.
Portable
Women are creatures of habit and many of us will carry our favourite scent in a handbag. Body mists come in small, convenient travel-friendly bottles, making them easy to carry in your bag or take away on holiday. This also gives you the option to reapply throughout the day if needed, to stay feeling fresh and clean.
Alcohol-Free Options
Some body mists are alcohol-free, which can be gentler on the skin and less likely to cause irritation, especially in hot weather when your skin may already be more sensitive due to the sun’s exposure.
Layering
With FM World’s body mists, they can be used in conjunction with our other fragrance products like perfumes or lotions from the same line to create a layered scent effect, which can be appealing and long-lasting.
Using body mist in hot weather
Apply the body mist to your pulse points, such as your wrists, neck, and behind your ears, just as you would your perfume. These areas emit heat and can help the fragrance dissipate and last longer.
It’s important to still remember that less is more, even with a body mist. They are lighter than perfumes but it is still very easy to over apply and end up with too much spray on the kin. More can always be added so start off with a light spritz.
Be mindful in the heat as some fragrances can react with sunlight and heat, leading to changes in scent or skin irritation. Try to avoid spraying body mist directly onto sun-exposed areas such as the arms.
In hot weather, you may need to reapply a body mist more frequently to maintain its refreshing effect and fragrance.
FM World body mists offer a great addition to your summer skincare and fragrance routine, providing a quick and easy way to stay cool, hydrated, and pleasantly scented in hot weather.
Using an FM World body mist can be incorporated into your daily routine.
FM 372 inspired by Aventus For Her- Creed Choose from four of the fragrance mists that you like the most and one that fits in with your occasion and preference.
Skin preparation is key and it is best to use a body mist on freshly showered or bathed skin. Your skin needs to be clean and dry. If you have sensitive skin, you can also apply a moisturizer before using the mist to help lock in the scent.
Give the body mist bottle a gentle shake before using it. This helps mix the fragrance and any moisturizing or hydrating ingredients that may have settled at the bottom.
Hold the body mist bottle about 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) away from your body. Aim the nozzle at the area you want to apply the mist to. Common areas include your wrists, neck, chest, and behind your ears.
Start with a light spritz or two, as body mists are typically more delicate than perfumes or colognes. You can always add more if you’d like a stronger scent, but it’s better to start conservatively to avoid over application.
After applying the body mist, resist the urge to rub it into your skin. The same rule applies whether it’s your favourite perfume or a body mist. Let it air dry naturally and avoid rubbing as this can disrupt the fragrance molecules and affect the longevity of the scent.
Throughout the day, especially in hot weather or if you want to refresh the scent, you can reapply the body mist as desired. It’s convenient to carry the small bottle with you for touch-ups.
If you’re using other fragrance products like perfumes, lotions, or shower gels from the same FM World line, consider layering them to enhance the longevity and depth of the scent.
Remember that the longevity of a body mist may not be as long as a perfume or eau de toilette, so reapplication may be necessary to maintain the fragrance throughout the day.
Additionally, how you store your body mist can also affect its quality; it’s best to store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.
Using FM World body mist can be a delightful addition to your daily routine, providing a burst of fragrance and freshness to enhance your overall scent profile.
Conclusion
Using FM World body mist can be a wonderful way to stay refreshed and pleasantly scented, especially in hot weather.
These body mists offer a range of benefits, including their refreshing and hydrating properties, a choice of four delightful scents and small enough to pop in your handbag to refresh during the day.

FM 905 perfume review
FM 905 perfume review
As a fragrance enthusiast and someone who has worked in the perfume industry since 2015, I am always on the lookout for trying unique and alluring scents from our collection.
Having access to the many samples gives me the perfect opportunity to try a new perfume whenever I need a new bottle.
This also gives me the opportunity to review perfumes for you and give you information on some of our popular fragrances before a potential purchase.
FM Perfume 905 is a unisex fragrance that has a gorgeous sharpness of plum, raspberry and rhubarb on its first spritz and immediately envelops you in a sophisticated aura that effortlessly balances such floral, fruity and woody notes. The perfect summer scent for chilling in the garden, enjoying time away on holiday and sitting in a beer garden for lunch with a friend.
FM 905 unisex perfume What to expect from this scent
The initial burst of citrus top notes is invigorating, offering a vibrant and refreshing introduction to this perfume. As the fragrance settles on the skin, the heart notes reveal a delightful bouquet of floral accords that adds a touch of femininity without being overpowering, whilst still keeping some masculinity as a unisex fragrance.
Sometimes we are risk of floral scented perfumes being too strong and overwhelming so FM 905 has a great balance that suits the skin and keeps its charm.
The blend of these floral notes is skillfully harmonized, showcasing the craftsmanship behind this creation.
What truly sets FM Perfume 905 apart is its seamless transition from a lively opening to a warm and woody base.
The dry down ( the final stage as the top and middle notes dissipate ) is where this fragrance truly shines. As the woody notes combine with a subtle hint of sweetness, it creates a captivating and sensual allure.
This is why it balances well as a unisex fragrance. Once the more feminine and fruity notes settle, the base notes are what we smell throughout the day.
The longevity of the fragrance is impressive, like many of the other perfumes within the collection, it stays close to the skin for hours, maintaining its alluring character throughout the day or evening.
A scent that will turn heads and have others asking what fragrance you are wearing.
This is one of the reasons why FM World perfumes are so popular. They have created lasting scents at an affordable price.
We know that many of the designer fragrances can be at the higher end of the price scale so if you still want a gorgeous scent without having to pay more than an FM perfume is a great choice.
Another aspect worth noting is the versatility of FM Perfume 905. It strikes the perfect balance between being suitable for everyday wear as well as special occasions and being a unisex fragrance, opens the door to both men and women to enjoy this wonderful scent.
Whether you’re heading to the office, meeting friends for a casual outing, or attending a formal event, this fragrance effortlessly adapts. It elevates your confidence and leaves a lasting impression on those around you, something we all strive for when wearing our favourite scent.
The packaging of FM Perfume 905 also reflects the elegance of the scent. The bottle’s sleek design and minimalistic aesthetic makes it a delightful addition to any perfume collection or dressing table.
Unlike many celebrity designer bottles, FM have aimed to keep their bottles and packaging simple yet still classy so that the cost to the customer is kept as low as possible.
FM perfume No.905 fragrance notes
Top notes: plum, raspberry, rhubarb, pomegranate, clove
Heart: pink pepper, jasmine, opoponax, patchouli, lily
Base: guaiac wood, cedarwood, amberwood, incense, vanilla
FM Perfume stands for “Federico Mahora Perfume,” and it is a brand known for producing high-quality fragrances inspired by popular designer scents.
FM Perfume operates under the multi-level marketing (MLM) business model, where independent distributors (like myself) promote and sell the company products directly to consumers.
The brand aims to offer affordable alternatives to expensive designer perfumes, allowing customers to experience similar scents at a more budget-friendly price point.
FM Perfume’s products include a wide range of fragrances for both men and women, as well as other related products such as cosmetics, body care items, and home fragrances.
The company often highlights the quality and long-lasting nature of their fragrances, comparing them to well-known designer brands.
For those who are familiar FM perfumes, may already have noticed that FM 905 has very similar notes to Jo Malone’s Pomegranate Noir. This particular scent is currently one of Jo Malones’s most popular scents in the perfume world today.
Fragrance notes of Jo Malone- Pomegranate Noir
Top notes: Pomegranate, Rhubarb, Plum, Raspberry, Watermelon
Middle notes: Clove, Pink Pepper, Guaiac Wood, Olibanum, Opoponax, Rose, Jasmine, Lily-of-the-Valley

As you can see, both bottles have similar fragrance notes and it is important to remember that FM perfumes are not copies of the designer scents. They simply use the same fragrance wheel and perfume oil manufacturer to create their unique range.

FM World- an insight
FM World is a company known for producing and distributing perfumes, cosmetics and other related products through a network marketing or multi-level marketing (MLM) business model.
The company operates by having independent representatives, also known as distributors, like myself, who promote and sell their products directly to consumers.
FM World, also known as Federico Mahora World, has gained attention for its extensive range of fragrances that are often inspired by well-known designer scents but offered at a more affordable price.
These perfumes are typically referred to as “FM perfumes” and are marketed as high-quality alternatives to expensive designer fragrances.
N.B Our perfumes are NOT copies of any designer fragrances. We use the same fragrance wheel and buy perfume oil from the same factory (DROM) as the designer perfume companies.
FM perfumes have gained popularity over the years for several reasons.
Affordability: One of the main reasons FM perfumes have become popular is their affordability. They offer high-quality fragrances that are inspired by well-known designer scents at a fraction of the cost. This allows consumers to enjoy a wide range of scents without breaking the bank.
Variety: FM World offers a vast and diverse range of fragrances, catering to different preferences and tastes. Whether someone prefers floral, fruity, oriental, or woody scents, there’s likely an FM perfume that matches their preference.
Quality: While our perfumes are more affordable than designer fragrances, they are often praised for their quality. Many users find that the scent longevity and overall experience of wearing FM perfumes are comparable to more expensive options.
Similarity to Designer Scents: FM perfumes are often inspired by popular designer fragrances, and they strive to capture the essence of these scents. For individuals who enjoy the aroma of high-end perfumes but can’t afford them, FM perfumes provide a more accessible alternative.
Accessibility: FM perfumes are typically sold through independent distributors who may operate online or through social networks. This makes us readily available to a wide audience without the need to visit a physical store.
Social Selling: The multi-level marketing (MLM) model used by FM World involves independent distributors who sell the products. This approach can create a sense of community and personal connection, as distributors often share their experiences and recommendations with potential customers.
Personalized Service: Many distributors offer personalized recommendations based on customers’ preferences, helping individuals find scents that match their style and personality. Takes a look at our reviews section where I have reviewed several of the FM perfumes.
Word of Mouth: Positive reviews and recommendations from satisfied customers and distributors can contribute to the popularity of FM perfumes. Personal testimonials and social media posts can generate buzz and interest in the products.
It’s important to note that while FM perfumes have gained popularity for these reasons, opinions about them can vary. Some people appreciate the affordable and diverse options, while others may have different preferences when it comes to fragrances and purchasing methods. As with any product, it’s a good idea to research and try out FM perfumes for yourself to determine if they align with your preferences and expectations.
We’re always happy to answer any questions so get touch if you’d like to find out more about how to purchase samples.
How did it begin
FM World was founded by Artur Trawiński in Poland. Artur established FM Group in 2004, and the company later re branded to FM World.
FM perfumes are generally considered to be affordable when compared to many high-end designer fragrances.
The main appeal of FM perfumes lies in offering high-quality scents that are inspired by popular designer fragrances, but at a fraction of the cost.
This affordability makes them an attractive option for individuals who want to enjoy a variety of scents without the hefty price tag associated with luxury brands.
It’s important to note that the cost of perfumes can vary based on factors such as the specific fragrance, its ingredients, the concentration of the perfume (e.g., eau de parfum, eau de toilette) and the size of the bottle.
FM World offers a wide range of perfumes with different price points, allowing customers to choose options that fit their budget.
Travel size perfumes
Keep in mind that affordability is relative and can vary depending on individual preferences and financial situations. It’s a good idea to explore the offerings and prices of FM perfumes through official FM World distributors or the company’s website to get a better understanding of their pricing structure and how it aligns with your budget.
FM perfumes often come in simple and understated bottles for a few reasons:
Cost-Effectiveness: By opting for simple bottle designs, FM World can reduce production and packaging costs. This cost savings can then be passed on to consumers, allowing them to enjoy high-quality fragrances at a more affordable price. We are very much focused on putting the customer first.
Focus on Fragrance: Simple bottles allow the fragrance itself to take center stage. Without elaborate or intricate designs, the emphasis remains on the scent and its quality, rather than on the packaging.
Versatility and Mass Appeal: Simple bottle designs tend to have a universal and timeless appeal. They can cater to a wider range of tastes and preferences, making the perfumes suitable for a broader audience.
Concentration on Brand Image: FM World may prioritize building its brand image around the quality and affordability of its products rather than elaborate packaging. This approach aligns with their mission to provide quality scents without the high price tag.
Minimalistic creativity: Many consumers appreciate minimalistic and clean designs. Simple bottles can exude a sense of elegance and sophistication that resonates with individuals who prefer a more understated aesthetic.
Environmental Considerations: In some cases, companies may opt for simpler packaging to reduce their environmental impact. Less elaborate packaging can result in less waste and a smaller carbon footprint.
It’s important to note that while many of our perfumes come in simple bottles, our focus is on the quality of the fragrance itself. Different consumers have varying preferences when it comes to packaging and design and FM World’s choice of simple bottles reflects its commitment to offering affordable and high-quality scents to a diverse range of individuals.
Can anyone wear FM fragrances
FM perfumes are generally suitable for individuals of various ages. FM World offers a wide range of fragrances with diverse notes and compositions, making it possible for people of all age groups to find scents that resonate with their preferences and find ones that are most suitable.

The fragrance wheel
Have you ever used the fragrance wheel when looking to purchase a new scent? Many of us simply use our sense of smell to determine if we like a perfume or aftershave but the fragrance wheel allows us to visually see which fragrance notes sit in which category.
The fragrance wheel was created by Michael Edwards, a leading fragrance expert and consultant.
He developed the wheel in 1983 as a visual representation to categorize and classify different types of fragrances based on their dominant scent characteristics. This would make it easier to find a scent under a specific category.
Michael Edwards is well-known in the perfume industry for his extensive knowledge and expertise in fragrances. His creation of the fragrance wheel has become a widely used tool in the world of perfumery, helping both professionals and consumers understand and appreciate the diverse range of scents available in the market.
Affiliate disclosure
This page contains affiliate links. Should you click on a link and make a purchase, I may receive compensation.
How the fragrance wheel works
The wheel is divided into four main fragrance families or categories, which are further subdivided into subcategories.
Each section represents a different type of scent, and the relationships between the sections indicate how similar or dissimilar the fragrances are to each other. The main fragrance families are:
Perfume creation is a meticulous and artistic process that involves blending various aromatic ingredients to craft a harmonious and appealing scent.
Floral: This is the largest category and includes fragrances that primarily feature the scents of flowers. It is further divided into subcategories like Floral White (white flowers such as jasmine, tuberose, and lily of the valley), Floral Green (green and natural-smelling floral notes), and Floral Woody Musk (floral notes combined with woody and musky elements).
Oriental: This category is characterized by warm, exotic, and sensual scents. It is divided into Oriental Soft (light and powdery), Oriental Floral (floral with oriental base), and Oriental Woody (woody with oriental base).
Woody: Fragrances in this family feature predominantly woody scents. It includes subcategories like Woody Earthy (earthy and mossy), Woody Fresh (woody with a fresh and citrus touch), and Woody Oriental (woody with oriental base notes).
Fresh: This category consists of crisp, clean, and invigorating scents. It includes subcategories like Aromatic Fougère (herbal and fern-like scents), Citrus (citrus-based scents), and Water (aquatic and marine scents).
Each of these four main categories can be further divided into more specific subcategories, resulting in a comprehensive representation of different fragrance types. The fragrance wheel helps both consumers and perfume professionals to understand the aromatic composition of a fragrance and find scents that suit their preferences.
Fragrance creators and marketers also use the fragrance wheel to identify market gaps and trends, allowing them to develop new and innovative perfumes that cater to different consumer preferences.
Additionally, the fragrance wheel aids in creating harmonious blends by identifying complementary scents from different categories.
However, it’s essential to note that the fragrance wheel is just a guide, and some fragrances may not fit neatly into a specific category. Perfumes often feature a combination of scents from various families, making them unique and distinctive.
Nonetheless, the fragrance wheel remains a valuable tool in the perfume industry, facilitating communication and understanding among perfume enthusiasts and professionals alike.
As a distributor for a perfume company called FM World UK, I have used the fragrance wheel on many an occasion to help potential customers with choosing the right scent, especially if they are looking to try something new.

Sometimes we don’t automatically recognise which family a particular scent falls into so with the FM World wheel, we have a male and female side. There is an inner wheel with an arrow that can be moved to a designated fragrance family and then within that selection, we are able to see which perfume numbers fall within that fragrance family.
It is also worth remembering that it is best to try a perfume sample first before a purchase to ensure it suits your skin type and occasion.
A world of fragrances
Fragrances, also commonly known as perfumes or scents, have been an essential part of human culture for thousands of years. These aromatic compositions are created to evoke pleasant sensations and stimulate our olfactory sense.
Fragrances play a significant role in enhancing our personal identity, expressing emotions, and creating lasting impressions on others. Many of us have been wearing fragrances from an early age, and some, like myself, may have experimented with garden flowers when younger.
Related article: psychology of perfume
The history of fragrances dates back to ancient civilizations like Egypt, Mesopotamia and India, where aromatic oils and natural ingredients were used for religious rituals, therapeutic purposes and beautification.
As trade and cultural exchanges flourished, the art of perfumery spread to Greece and Rome, becoming an essential part of their societies.
The process of creating a fragrance, known as perfumery, involves blending various aromatic compounds to achieve a scent that is both appealing and balanced.
Perfumers use a combination of essential oils, aromatic extracts, synthetic molecules, and other ingredients to craft unique fragrances with different notes and accords.
These notes are categorized into three main types: top notes, middle notes (also known as heart notes) and base notes. The relationship of these notes over time creates the fragrance’s overall character and longevity.
Top notes are the initial, brief and temporary scents that you smell immediately after applying a fragrance. They are usually light and refreshing, often derived from citrus fruits or other bright and zesty elements.
Middle notes emerge after the top notes disappear and form the heart of the fragrance. They create the theme and personality of the scent, which can be floral, spicy, woody, or other distinctive accords.
Base notes are the foundation of the fragrance and provide depth and longevity. They typically consist of rich and robust ingredients like woods, musk, or vanilla. These notes will be the scent that will last through the duration of your perfume or aftershave and the ones that will sit on the skin for the longest time.
Fragrances can be classified into several categories, such as floral, oriental, woody, citrus and gourmand, among others. Each category has its own unique characteristics, making it suitable for different occasions, seasons, and personal preferences.
Over time, fragrances have evolved and perfumers continue to explore new ingredients and innovative techniques to create captivating scents.
The fragrance industry has also expanded to include various product forms, such as eau de parfum, eau de toilette, cologne, body sprays and scented lotions, catering for every individual and their needs.
Beyond personal use, fragrances have found their way into other industries, such as aromatherapy, where certain scents are believed to have therapeutic effects on mood and emotions.
Additionally, fragrances are used in household products, like candles and air fresheners, to create pleasant living spaces.

FM World perfumes 2023
Working in the perfume world has its perks. Every other person I speak to loves fragrances. It’s one of those accessories that many of us don’t leave the home without. A little spritz on your way to work or your favourite for a night out completes an outfit as well as lifting our spirits.
With the latest release of their new catalogue on 1st April this year, let’s take a look at FM World perfumes for 2023.
We have 12 new fragrances from the Pure Royal collection to enjoy from the new releases.
What are Pure and Pure Royal perfumes?
Our Pure Royal range are an Eau de parfum that contain the highest quality of perfume oils and therefore they are slightly more expensive than the Pure range. That being said, they are still more affordable than many of the celebrity designer fragrances. The Pure Royal range come in a more expensive bottle, packaging and perfume oils to the Pure range.
■ 4 female – PURE ROYAL
■ 1 female – PURE
■ 3 unisex- PURE ROYAL
■ 2 male- PURE
■ 2 male Golden Edition PURE ROYAL
The GOLDEN EDITION PURE ROYAL perfumes
The FM Golden Edition fragrances come elegantly packaged in the same way as the Pure Royals selection. However, these selected perfumes have even more luxury, high class fragrance, oils and quality ingredients for a longer lasting perfume.
A brief insight into FM World
FM World began their journey in 2004 in Warsaw, Poland, by a man named Artur Trawinski, who I have had the pleasure of meeting during my time with the company. They started their MLM business selling perfumes and over the years have expanded to many other products, including cosmetics, health, vitamins, beverages, skincare, and more.
They are worldwide and have a passion for helping others with their everyday products at affordable prices.
One of the reasons that FM World is so popular is that anyone can sign up if they are over 16 and create a FREE account (UK) For other countries get in touch for your personal link.
You can sign up for a FREE account in the following countries:
Qatar, Georgia, Australia, Turkey, Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, United States of America, United Arab Emirates,Bulgaria, Greece,United Kingdom and Kazakhstan.
FM World gives everyone the opportunity to not only purchase their own products at cost price, but also to sell to others and earn an extra income.
They sell high quality, unique perfumes that are inspired by some of the most popular designer perfumes we see today. Some will compare our scents to the designer perfumes but It’s important to point out that FM perfumes are not copies of designer perfumes.
Fm have created affordable fragrances by using the same fragrance wheel as the designer companies use but unlike designer scents that use around 16% perfume oil, FM use 20%.
The reason they can afford to do this is that they don’t have celebrity endorsers, TV adverts, or sales representatives in shops to advertise their brand. This keeps their costs down and they have distributors like myself, who sell to friends, family and customers.
Why buy from the company ?
There are many men and women who have a designer scent or two sitting on their bedside cabinet. Many will only use that fragrance for a special occasion because of its price tag. We don’t want to be spraying a £70 bottle of Chanel no.5 when we are going to work.
Such fragrances get used for weddings or a night out and are used sparingly. When you purchase an FM perfume, you can spray it on daily wherever you might be going.
Even if you’re sitting at home on a Sunday, with no plans to go anywhere. Fm perfume’s give you the freedom to be able to spray your favourite scent no matter what you are doing.
All the fragrances apart from the INTENSE range, contain 20% pure perfume oil. When you look at celebrity perfumes, the majority will only have 16% perfume oil. By having a higher concentration of perfume oil means that the fragrance will last on your skin much longer, usually around 6 hours.
The INTENSE range consists of 30% pure perfume oil in the women’s scents. There is 24% oil in the men’s range. Being a stronger fragrance means that it will last around 8 hours and is suitable for those that don’t want to reapply during the day. An ideal solution for those attending a wedding or travelling on a long haul flight.

FM World consistently want to help the customer to save money on their fragrances, which is why they have created such a unique range. With over 150 scents to choose from, you really are spoilt for choice.

FM perfume 359 review
If you love sweet fragrances that have a touch of vanilla and jasmine, our FM perfume 359 review will cover all you need to know about this fragrance.
This was one of my very first fragrances that I purchased from Fm World and is still one of my favourites today.
It has a sweet and feminine scent on its first spray and the notes of jasmine are noticeable as soon as the scent settles on the skin.
The ideal scent to wear during any season I feel and most suitable for the spring/summer with its citrus based fragrance family.
With FM perfumes, they choose simplicity over anything fancy in order to keep the cost down for their customers.
This fragrance is suitable for a night out with the girls on a summer’s evening.
What does FM 359 smell like?
For those who are familiar with our scents, will already know that the fragrance notes are very similar to that of the designer fragrances.
Some will that they struggle to smell any difference between the designer scents and our perfumes.
This perfume has very similar notes to Alien Essence Absolue, a fragrance that was released in 2012 by Thierry Mugler.
Jasmine plant 
Vanilla scent It is a very popular scent, even today and FM have created a wonderful alternative without compromising quality and cost.
Of course, there will be many that will only buy the original of any product, especially when it comes to perfumes.
If you can step aside from the celebrity endorsed fragrances and try a sample of FM 359, I believe you will be pleasantly surprised.
FM 359 perfume sample Their bottles are simplistic and this one comes within the Pure Royal range.
Pure Royal Range
The pure royal perfumes contain 20% pure perfume oil. They use a more expensive oil than those of the Pure Range and the scent will last around 6 hours.
Not bad for a perfume that we can all afford and not worry about wasting the bottle or keeping it locked away in the cupboard for a suitable day.
Every day is special so we should be allowed to wear whatever scent we wish without feeling guilty that its price tag is a little high.
FM perfume 359 review
I love the instant whiff of jasmine as soon as I sprayed this on my skin and although it has notes of vanilla- a scent that I avoid as it’s far too sweet for my skin- I was pleasantly surprised with this one.
The vanilla base note isn’t overpowering and sits beautifully within the rest of the notes.
I find vanilla scents give me a headache so by choosing those that have this scent as their base, I know that I am not going to smell the sickly scent.
One that I experience commonly with heavily scented vanilla fragrances.
Although the base notes are what we need to be looking for when finding a perfume, having a touch of vanilla that balanced well with the rest of the notes made me realise that we do need to try a scent first.

This page contains affiliate links. Should you click on a link and make a purchase, I may receive compensation.
Even if it contains a note or two that we don’t particularly like.
The beautiful floral and woody notes are just as popular with the males too. Many men like this scent on their partners as it is flirty, sweet and playful on the skin and awakens the senses.
When I first started to wear FM 359, I had a few of my friends commenting on my perfume and were asking what I had sprayed.
Some liked it so much that they ordered a bottle for themselves once they had tried a sample.
I always believe that a perfume scent should be noticeable but not overwhelming for the wearer or for those around.
This perfume does just that. It’s very much a delicate, gentle and feminine scent that captures the art of a woman beautifully.
Delightfully, this scent also comes in a 15ml slim bottle. Perfect for your handbag or holiday.
FM 359 15ml bottle Many men and women will buy fragrances for their fancy bottle design as well as the scent or will be influenced by the celebrity who wears it.
Whilst there is nothing wrong with this, when we learn how much of what we pay goes where, it can change our way of thinking.
■ Celebrity endorser
■ Packaging/bottle design
■ TV Advertising
We can all save so much money, especially nowadays when everything costs so much more and the prices keep on rising.
No one sees the bottle we purchase. They only ever smell the scent as it drifts passed.
After having this perfume on my skin for almost 30 minutes, I could instantly smell the ambergris and cashmere wood.
All the notes compliment one another and the feminine scent is a beautiful one to wear for any occasion.
FM359 is one of FM World’s most popular fragrances and its easy to see why.
FM 359 50ml perfume All the Pure Royal bottles have the same design and each comes with their own number to identify the scent.
Price: £34.00
Where to buy: FM World
Size of bottle : 50ml ( also available in 15ml )
My rating: 9.5 out of 10.
You can be assured that you are purchasing quality and genuine bottles when you buy from the company.
My favourite scent. FM 359 in its elegant yet simplistic bottle. For those who don’t like sweet notes and prefer a more sandalwood or tonka bean kind of scent, this perfume isn’t for you. Try FM 900 instead.
The smell gives the feel that summer is on its way and the BBQ s are within touching distance.
Floral dresses, summer sunshine and family sitting in the garden, fit perfectly with such an elegant and classic scent.
For those who wear it for an evening out, it will definitely have heads turning as the floral notes linger in the air.
Type: magnetic and intense
Fragrance notes:
Head: jasmine, heliotrope
Heart: iris root, cashmere wood
Base: ambergris, vanilla
Conclusion:
FM Perfume 359 is an exquisite fragrance that captivates the senses with its alluring blend of notes. Its opening bursts with refreshing citrus, while the heart reveals a floral symphony that evokes elegance and femininity.
The base notes provide a warm and sensual embrace, leaving a lasting impression on those who encounter it.
The longevity and sillage of FM Perfume 359 are commendable, making it a reliable companion for day or night. Whether you’re seeking a signature scent or looking to expand your fragrance collection, FM Perfume 359 offers a timeless and enchanting experience.
With its high-quality ingredients and affordable price tag, this fragrance truly exemplifies the concept of luxury without breaking the bank.
If the fragrance notes of Alien Essence Absolue are one of your favourite perfume scents, then try a sample of FM 359.
With very similar perfume notes, you will experience a wonderful scent that is kinder on the purse strings and will still get heads turning.

Julia Roberts’ favourite perfume
Whenever we hear someone mention Julia Roberts, we perhaps think of some of her most iconic films that she has played the leading role.
I personally always think of Pretty Woman. The iconic film that had us all believing that fairy tales do come true.
The American actress has been the face of Lancôme since 2012 and is a wearer of the famous La Vie Est Belle alongside another favourite perfume, Spring Flower by Creed.
A brief insight into the actors’ history
Born in 1967, to parents who had both worked in showbiz and were talented actors, with Julia Roberts’ mother being an acting coach and the couple met during their performance in the play George Washington Slept Here back in 1955.
Although the Hollywood actor started her career in the late 80s, she became a household name when she headlined alongside her co-star Richard Gere in the worldwide box office hit Pretty Woman.
Since then, she has starred in many successful box office hits such as My Best Friend’s Wedding and Notting Hill. Another two fantastic films that have us laughing and crying.
The list is endless for her lucrative appearances in many films and has seen her play a variety of characters within her role of comedy and drama films.
Julia Roberts signed a deal with Lancôme in 2010 which began with her being the face of their cosmetics line.
The fresh-faced beauty has caught the eye of both men and women over the years as her gorgeous looks never seem to age.She has been Lancôme’s global ambassador ever since.

Julia Roberts’ favourite perfume
Launched in 2012, La Vie Est Belle eau de parfum, translated from French meaning “life is beautiful ” is one of those fragrances that not only lasts a long time on the skin but has a lasting impression.
Although it was created for women to wear to the office or a lunch meeting and is most suitable for the daytime, it certainly makes heads turn with its gorgeous selection of fragrance notes.
Top notes : pear, black current
Middle notes : orange blossom, jasmine
Base notes : praline, patchouli, vanilla, tonka bean
It’s easy to see why this perfume is so popular.
Having such beautiful fresh fragrance notes, this bottle captures the femininity and grace that every women strives for.
Its elegance and charm in a simplistic bottle continues a natural beauty and happy journey for every purchaser.
With silver leaves around the neck of the bottle, it almost reminds me of a delicate silk scarf that women used to wear in the 1950’s.
The delicate material offering elegance, poise and charm as many were worn as a glamour accessory.
Such iconic actresses, such as Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor were known for the delicate material draped around their neck.

Not only is it a popular choice for women but also one for the men too.
It has a long-lasting scent that doesn’t overpower or need reapplying throughout the day.Some may say it is a little too sweet for their liking but what I love about this fragrance, along with a few others, is that other products can be purchased in the same scent.
On eBay, they have a lovely body set that includes a 50ml body lotion, a bottle of perfume and a mascara.

Zendaya’s favourite perfume
With so many celebrities endorsing perfumes, it’s one of the reasons why such products sell so well. The fragrance world is growing each year and another celebrity that we’re keen to learn about is Zendaya.
Zendaya’s favourite fragrance is Lancôme Idole and it’s easy to see why, so who is she?
A brief insight into the actress/singers’ history
The world is full of beautiful women, and this American actress, dancer and singer is no exception.
At the age of 27,( born in 1996) she has the world at her feet. She has received Golden Globe awards and two Primetime Emmy awards. Zendaya Marée Stoermer Coleman began her career as a back – up dancer and a child model for Macy’s Melvyn’s and Old Navy.
She went on and made her television debut in 2010, starring in the Disney Channel sitcom Shake It Up and has featured in several films since then.
Her feature film debut came in 2017 playing alongside her current partner, Tom Holland in the film Spider-Man : homecoming.
Just one of the fantastic Marvel films that both myself and my two sons have enjoyed watching. She also starred in the films’ sequels.
Marvel film-Spiderman Another popular film, based on a true story,The Greatest Showman sees Zendaya portraying a trapeze artist who falls in love.
The film was a massive hit when it was released in 2017 and is still very much watched today.
Zendaya’s talent doesn’t stop there though. She has also taken the journey into the music world with her delicate vocals on the hit record Rewrite The Stars from the same film/musical.
Her biggest success as a musician, collaborating with Zac Efron. A song that reached the top 20 charts.
Zendaya’s favourite perfume
Lancôme Idole
This is a popular scent from the Lancôme range of fragrances. Being a fairly strong eau de parfum that lasts for around eight hours, a light spray is recommended so as not to overwhelm.
Any fragrance should be subtle on the skin.
Lancôme Idole was created in 2019 with a bottle that shows femininity, class and simplicity.
This female scent doesn’t necessarily need lots of sparkle and glamour to be popular.
After all, we don’t wear the bottle. It’s the scent that matters.
On its first spray, this fragrance gives an instant hit of rose, musk and fruit notes.
It is a very womanly fragrance and has a strong kick to it. As the fragrance settles, there’s a definite scent of Pink Pepper and Bergamont.
The White Mask and Cedar are very noticeable as the base notes come through later on.
It has a very clean scent with such popular fragrance notes.I’m sure it will be a hit for many women who like to make a statement yet still have that touch of class and summer vibe.
As the name suggests ‘Idole‘ brings the fresh fragrance to life for any women who dares to be outspoken, strong and empowered.
I personally would say that it is a more suitable scent for an evening out as opposed to daytime perfume.
It might be a little too heavy for perhaps an office or retail shop working environment.
Lancôme know how to create a variety of scents. When we compare this one with La Vie Est Belle, there is a noticeable difference as the latter is a much sweeter and more versatile fragrance.
related article: The best perfume for a wedding day
That said, there are plenty of women who love strong scents and can carry them off well without being overpowering.
There are lots of positive reviews online from customers who have bought this classic scent.
“Beautiful, long-lasting and elegant ” says one. “Perfect for the confident women”
” Lasts all day and smells so fresh and sexy” said another.
This fragrance also comes in a refillable bottle that can be taken to selected refill points of sale so you will never have to throw your bottle away.
Zendaya is Lancôme’s youngest endorser for the company and is not only a wearer of their fragrance but also the face of Lancôme Lash Idole mascara.

Johnny Depp fragrance
Whenever we see an advert for Sauvage by Christian Dior, we instantly know without even looking up at the TV screen, that it’s a Johnny Depp fragrance.
Dior and Depp teamed up back in 2015, when Sauvage was first launched. It was a huge fragrance back then and still is to this day.
Watch the advert on You tube
With a heavy-metal theme, as soon as the advert for this fragrance starts and Johnny Depp playing the guitar, the music sets the scene for a dusty and solitary drive to the dry heat and barren surroundings of the desert.
Depp’s husky voice can be heard over the scene as he tells the story of looking for something that he cannot see but can feel.
He removes a spade from the boot of his car and approaches a deserted area, under the watchful eye of a wolf standing proud on the roof of the Dodge Challenger.
He then starts to dig a hole in the sand and proceeds to remove his necklace and bracelets and drops them into the hole.
Depp has always come across as a mysterious and intriguing actor that tends to play certain parts in films where he can almost hide behind his own persona.
Being the face and a wearer of one of the most iconic Dior colognes to date, Depp reflects the fragrance perfectly when we learn of the perfume notes behind this classic men’s scent.
Fragrance notes :
Top notes: pepper, Calabrian bergamot
Middle notes : Sichuan Pepper, lavender, pink pepper, vetiver, geranium, patchouli, elemi
Base notes : Ambroxan, labdanum, cedar
Dior A brief insight into the actors’ history
Born John Christopher Depp II, Depp first appeared on our screens in the film A Nightmare on Elm street in 1984.
One that I have to admit I have never watched as I don’t like horror films! In fact, I don’t like anything scary on screen!
The first I really knew of this unique actor was Johnny’s incredible role in the romantic fantasy film Edward Scissorhands in 1990. A film that is much more suitable for my eyes and mind.
Edward Scissorhands He almost seems to be one of those actors that you never really get to see what he truly looks like.
He has played a few unusual characters that make his appearance look contrasting from his actual features.
Especially for films such as Edward Scissorhands and Alice In Wonderland.
Alice In Wonderland In Edward Scissorhands, a young Depp’s face was mysteriously hidden behind pale and scarred skin and dark circles around his eyes.
The character who wanted to touch but couldn’t and despite looking scary and weird, was indeed a gentle man who fell in love.
15 years later I am then watching his performance in Charlie and The Chocolate Factory in 2005.
Another film that captures Depp in a different light once again as he portrays a candy maker who guides children around a sweet factory.
In a bid to find a child who avoids all the temptations that a sweet factory brings, he indeed finds a good person who passes the test to become an heir to the factory business and ‘winning’ the golden ticket.
Having many a Golden Globe Award, academy and BAFA awards, Depp is also a keen musician.
His mother bought him a guitar at the age of 12 and he started playing in a few bands.
He clearly had talent as when he attempted to return to school two weeks after he had dropped out, the principal saw potential and told him to continue to follow his dream of becoming a musician.
Sauvage by Dior is a gorgeous and very masculine Fougere scent that instantly smells of your classic scented aftershave.
Sauvage by Dior The type that you recognise as soon as you walk past a male that’s wearing it. The strong and bold notes reveal instant sex appeal and it’s definitely a head turner.
Even after its first spray, the initial pepper and Calabrian bergamot scent lingers and we’re left with a crisp, clean and welcoming cedar and lavender sillage.
It’s a very appealing, a touch fruity and definitely wearable scent.

Why do we love Sauvage so much?
Dior has created a sophisticated scent in a clean, and simple styled bottle.
There’s no fancy design or cap to grab our attention to purchase on first sight.
It only takes a sniff of this wonderful scent to have men and women falling in love with the iconic fragrance.
Dior wanted a scent that matched the scene of nature, earth and have a distinctive yet popular scent.
‘Sauvage ‘ is a French word that means ‘wild’ or ‘unspoiled’ and refers to nature and animals.
If we use the word to describe a person, the meaning is totally different and refers to someone being ‘unsociable’ or ‘fierce’.
There’s definitely nothing fierce or unsociable about this fragrance. Quite the opposite.
Not a bad price either for a designer fragrance. It’s one that won’t break the bank.
There are samples available on eBay which is great to have the option of trying before a purchase.

FM perfume 489 review
For those who are familiar and wear FM perfumes, you will know how good they are. They are perfumes that last for the duration of the day and are affordable for all of us, which is definitely something that both men and women look for in a purchase.
One of the most popular female scents that the company sell is FM489, so let’s take a deeper look to find out why it’s one of their best-sellers.
FM pure perfume 489 Similarities to designer scents
FM World perfumes were created to bring a uniqueness to the perfume world and a collection of beautiful scents for both men and women.
With such a variety of choice of fragrances, there are similarities between FM perfumes and those of the designers.
FM489 is inspired by the very popular and gorgeous scent called Alien by Thierry Mugler.
Released in 1992, this scent is still hugely popular today and a bottle can set you back between £55 -£100 approximately, depending on which size you choose and where you purchase from.
When we look at the fragrance notes in a bottle of Alien, we know that the designer has created a feminine and rich perfume with its bouquet of floral scents.
They are an instant hit to the senses and bring summer vibes to the skin.
Perfume notes in Alien by Thierry Muggler
Top notes: mandarin orange
Middle notes: Moroccan jasmine, white flowers
Base notes: white amber, cashmere.
If you’re a lover of very floral fragrances then this little gem will certainly whisk you off into a field of flowers and gorgeous fruit notes to make heads turn.
Why choose an alternate perfume ?
FM perfume no.489 review
One of the benefits of wearing an FM perfume is that they are long-lasting and concentrated with 20% pure perfume oil.
There is no need to spray excessively or even to re apply during the day.
This also leads to your favourite bottle lasting much longer.
Perfume notes in a bottle of FM489
There are similar fragrance notes in FM’s bottle and that’s where the similarity ends.
Top notes: blackcurrant, green leaves, anise
Middle notes: orange blossom water notes’, lily-of-the-valley, green leaves, cashmere wood
Base notes: cedarwood, patchouli, tonka bean, ambergris
What to expect with this scent
Labelled as a futuristic and eccentric scent, this inspired perfume is an acquired taste for those who love sweetness and fruity notes that instantly whisk us off to holiday destinations.
It’s definitely one of those scents that can be a little overpowering if too much is sprayed as it is very sweet. Less is more as they say.
On a recent visit to a supermarket, I walked past a lady and within an instance I noticed her perfume scent. I was instantly hit with an overpowering concoction of heavy musk and flowers.
Working in the perfume business for the past seven years has allowed my nose to often guess what perfume notes someone is wearing and sometimes I can even name the perfume if it’s a popular scent.
Musk can be a heavy fragrance if it’s sprayed too much and this was most certainly the case.
We sometimes forget that even when we can no longer smell the fragrance on our skin, others around us can still smell it.
Our nose gets used to the scent as it settles and whilst we may be led to believe that the scent has worn off, it is still very much noticeable to others.
By spraying more or too much in the first place will not only impact your own nose and could give you a headache, it will have a negative impact on those around you.
Every women loves to be noticed and admired by her choice in clothes, hair, make up and fragrance but no one wants her chosen scent to linger long after she has walked past.
Fruit and freshness
There is an instant smell of freshness when this scent is sprayed and the top notes pop through, especially the blackcurrant.
After a few minutes of spraying, there is a gorgeous smell of sweetness with the orange blossom drifting through and a woody edge from the cashmere wood.
Whilst some woody perfumes can be a little heavy, the blackcurrant and orange blossom balance this fragrance perfectly.
Towards the end of the day, the patchouli and ambergris are noticeable as the scent has settled nicely into its fragrance.
Whenever we choose a scent, its good practice to look at the base notes. These are the notes that will be on the skin for the longest time and will be the scent that those around you will notice.
When we compare the bottles of both fragrances, the simplicity of FM bottles shows that they don’t need to have expensive bottles and packaging to sell their perfumes.

Size of bottle: 50ml
My rating: 8.5 out of 10
ConclusionFM489 perfume is slightly too sweet for my skin but nonetheless it is a very pleasant summer fragrance that lasts very well.
If used sparingly, it is a delightful perfume that will turn heads and have others asking what fragrance you’re wearing.
