The Perfumed Court Reviews

Online ordering was straightforward and the selection of fragrances impressive. The samples that I ordered (42 in all) were delivered quickly. Customer service was responsive and helpful by email when I misplaced my username. The samples were a convenient and inexpensive way to guide me toward which fragrances to purchase. Highly recommended.

Love that I got to try 15 different perfumes for less than half of the price of one perfume bottle! So important when I’m really starting from scratch looking for a fragrance to have actual samples: trying on in store overwhelms my nose, makes all the fragrances blend together, and doesn’t allow time for the scent to fully develop on my skin. I didn’t know what to expect with the perfumed court but I am so happy with them. They sent sample bottles, well-packed and very clearly labeled, within a few days of me placing the order. I get to try one perfume at a time, which would just take months for me to do if I only tried one at a time at a store. Furthermore I love that they have fragrances that you can’t find at big box stores.
I’m NOT going to love every fragrance but that has nothing to do with this company. I’m really very happy with the service here and I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to try out a perfume or who’s looking for s scent that’s really hard to find. Or really, just anyone.
I wish I could upload a photo because I wanted to show how nicely the bottles were packaged and labeled. Anyway, it’s nice.

I already made a review and gave them 2 stars and presented how my transaction was suspected to be fraud, at last I sent them the docs and they sent me the 34 samples after 2 weeks of initial transaction. I asked them to refund me the shipping cost because I wanted the samples earlier by 7 days but they didn't. I tried some of the samples and most of them seems to be genuine although I still have to go through some samples, Tried Amouage black Iris, Overture Man, Lyric man, Memoir Man, Reflection 45 Man, Armani Stronger with you intensly, Dior Sauvage Elixir, Baccarrat 540 extrait etc. I do feel like some perfumes are summer perfumes and does not yield in winter like they would in summer but other than that it seems legit. A 4 star review because of the initial delay and then refusing to refund shipping cost otherwise it would be better.

Horrible smell.

All 3 samples I received smelled like a chemical!

I bought 3 designer samples and I know the smell is way off. Will “never” but from there again

100% authentic. I've bought many samples and upgraded to the original bottle from the company, always the real deal. Tad pricey.

This company is amazing. I am trying to figure out the identity of a particular fragrance. I suspect that it's an older French perfume, so I ordered the classic French sampler. Shipping was very quick, and I found the price reasonable for the variety of perfumes. A note to those who claim their samples smell like alcohol - ingredients can settle in shipping, so shake each little vial a bit before you open and smell it! I'm sampling one perfume per day and having a great time.

I’ve ordered many times from The Perfumed Court, as have many of the members of Basenotes. TPC enjoys a very high reputation among many, so I am genuinely surprised by some of the reviews here. I have nothing but good news to report from my experiences with TPC.

I ordered seven samples. Very different perfumes yet when they arrived all smelled like hand sanitizer, Trailways bus chemical toilet, alcohol…so disappointing. And the customer service response to my note was equally disappointing. Rude and nasty. As experience. Used to be a good company. What happened.

'The Perfumed Court' handled my order in a most professional manner. They were efficient and prompt in dispatching my order. The samples were well decanted into good quality vials, and packaged suitably. Overall a great shopping experience.

Always had a good experience with them. You save a lot of money by buying decants and they have a decent selection. Customer phone service is somewhat unavailable right now, but understandable. Shipping and fulfillment speed is average. You usually get your order within a week's time. Can't really complain. Shipping cost is standardized so I would wait to fill up a cart instead and also wait for their 20% flash sale coupon codes (around holidays).

The products I received were pricier than most other decant sellers out there, but they also have a much larger selection. The main reason I ordered is because some of the things I wanted I could not find as decants at other sellers. Website is spartan but easy to use.

The reason I only give it average is because of the strange customer service. My order was messed up and was never actually sent. They responded in about 24 hours, admitted to their mistake and gave me a new tracking number.
All that is fine but I've never had a company that has messed up before not even attempt to make it up to the customer. No expedited shipping, no coupon codes for future purpose, nothing. I'm not actually owed any of that, of course. I paid for a product and service and got it. It's just unusual that they wouldn't take that opportunity to smooth over their reputation. I'll definitely be checking other sellers first before attempting another purchase from them.

Ordered 9 samples.
Shipping time took only 5 days from when they created the label.
I believe the total time from order was around 6-7 days after payment was made.
Was packaged very nicely and they included a piece of candy.

5 stars!

I didn't see very many reviews of them online, so thought I would included this here.

Not sure what the negative reviews are all about but after getting tired of a $250 bottle of Guerlain cologne 1/4 of the way through, I decided to research better ways of spending my money looking for great cologne. Happy to say I found The Perfumed Court and am very satisfied thus far- Both orders were from April 2016- Follow them on Twitter as they have frequent flash sales (wish I had figured that out for my first Order- Saved 22% off my second Order that way)- First order consisted of spray samples of Creed Aventus, Guerlain Santal Royal, Guerlain Vetiver and Dior Sauvage- The order was done online on the 13th and delivered to me on the 18th- They were out of the Sauvage but delivered that a few days later. Similar experience with the second order (more Creed, and Guerlain samples, with several Tom Ford and YSL in for good measure). I'm still going through them trying to decide which is best for which situation but I have to say, this is really a great way to go !! You can tell these are quality decants of original fragrances and I've spent about $100 for what would have cost literally thousands and they last a long time too- I wasn't asked by anyone to write this review or compensated, just trying to spread the word as some of these reviews initially caused me to second guess my first purchase.

I have sampled perfumes many times now from the Perfumed Court and it's been so useful to me! Most of the perfumes I'm interested in cost quite a bit of money-I have spent so much over the years on perfumes that just don't cut it--even if I try them on in a store, so many stores don't want to give you a sample and this is what you really need in order to make your decision. You can't just spritz it on in the store and whip out your credit card.
Thanks to the Perfumed Court, I have gotten decanted scents of some of the best perfumes in the world and been able to wear each a few times--enough to get compliments or complaints and enough for ME to decide whether I love it or not. I just recently bought 5 decants and have put on a different one each day--and I'll be now buying the one that my husband referred to as "pure sex"!!!
Thanks, TPC--you guys rock!
