The dry-down. Gentle follows the same architecture at 22–30% oil concentration vs 20-22% (EDP).
More oil, more scent. Longer wear, stronger projection. Gentle sits at the upper end of EDP-grade, overlapping with Extrait.
Read full breakdown
Designer Eau de Toilette typically contains 5–12% fragrance oil. Designer Eau de Parfum contains 15–20%. Extrait sits at 20–30%. Gentle is formulated at 22 to 30 percent oil concentration, the upper end of the EDP range, overlapping with Extrait. Higher oil concentration means longer wear, stronger projection, and a fuller scent profile. MFK Gentle Fluidity at 20-22% (EDP) is more dilute than Gentle.

Our Story · Liverpool, UK
You are paying for the bottle.
Designer brands charge £300 or more for a 100ml bottle. The perfume itself costs three to five pounds to make. The rest is theatre: a campaign, a celebrity, a licensing fee, a retail margin, a bottle heavy enough to feel expensive in the hand.
It is simply how the industry has worked for forty years. What has changed is the assumption that you, the buyer, don’t know.
We started The Fragrance World in Liverpool to make one without the designer tax. One bottle. Thirty pounds. No apology, no compromise.

Remarkably close
My partner thought I was wearing the designer original. The scent profile is remarkably close. Already recommended to friends.

On my second bottle
Started with the 5ml sample, now on my second full-size bottle. The oil concentration genuinely makes a difference to how long it lasts.

A 5ml atomiser. Enough for a full week of wear so you can decide on skin, not from a description. Worst case: out £4.95 and a week.

A note on naming
We name MFK Gentle Fluidity on this page on purpose.
Gentle is not MFK Gentle Fluidity. MFK Gentle Fluidity is a registered trademark of MFK; we are not affiliated. We reference it because it is honestly the fragrance our buyers came from. Most of them did not go back.
