La Parfumerie USA Bewertungen 191

I pride myself on not smelling like every other man. I love unusual and exotic scents; the stuff that makes a woman passing by stop in her steps and turn her head to try and catch my scent again.
At the suggestion of a friend in Spain, I was on a quest to find Xerjoff- Alexandria II. It's it a little expensive for a full bottle and I only wanted enough to try it. (5 stars, by the way. Very sensuous, dark and mysterious.)
It was through this search that I found La Parfumerie. This store is INCREDIBLE!!! They have some really exotic scents, and some that I can't find anywhere else.
If you REALLY care about your cologne, then you REALLY need to check them out.

A product I had previously purchased for my son was selling out, Joel reached out to let me know and the timing was perfect for an upcoming birthday gift. Through our conversation, I not only purchased that product but added another, and got samples of a product I wanted to explore for myself. I deeply appreciate the customer service and sense of community provided by every staff member at La Parfumerie.

A+ service. Carefully package and shipped promptly. Definitely recommend La Parfumerie!

Website easy to navigate, shipping ultra fast, packaging amazing, and on top they send you samples. other webs should be taking notes!!!
Good job

Incredible prices and selection. I previously had to order this product from France. Product arrived in 2 days.

Excellent service - shipping was super fast and the presentation of my fragrance was beautifully done. Definitely plan on ordering again soon.

I strongly advise any niche perfume lover to stay away from here.

What happened?

I'm based in Durham for school. Their storefront is around 46 minutes away from me one way, and a trip there is easily an hour and a half.

I purchased two perfumes from them (totaling ~$444), upon arriving back to my apartment I saw that one was leaking/broken so I went back to exchange it. They refused to exchange it on the spot, and the staff member explained that his manager needed to file a claim with their insurance/retailer who would then 'approve' an exchange for me, and that this could take a few days.

This raised red flags for me.

I refused to go back to the store to pick up the replacement since it was no longer worth the drive for me.

The next day, both the owner and manager began to call me and text me during class to try and 'fix' this, saying that they would provide me with free samples due to the inconvenience.

I refused, and told them to check the complaint I had sent. Apparently, the email they have on their website under 'contact us' is unmonitored, since the manager texted me asking for me to forward it to the owner.
The owner replied saying that she would personally deliver the perfume to me since this is not the level of service she 'aims for'. A few minutes before this the same owner had left me a voicemail saying that she wanted to call to understand the situation since it seemed 'escalated for no reason'....

I refused to give her my address. It added to the already uncomfortable feeling I had with all of this, and having a stranger come to my campus or apartment to give me a perfume that should have been exchanged when I went there was so weird.

To top it off, to receive the refund for the perfume that was broken (and the same one that I left the store without an exchange because it was against 'policy') I had to call the owner, and give her my credit card information over the phone. She was incredibly rude the entire time.

I questioned the authenticity of their products after this, and went directly to the brand and realized that they were not on their authorized retailer list. I made my concerns aware to both the manager and owner, to which the owner stopped replying to my emails and the manager replied for her instead.

They claimed that the products were authentic, and even though they were not on the authorized retailer lists on the websites for the products they sold that they would be soon.

If the products were authentic, what was this whole 'insurance claim' nonsense to begin with? If I had received a faulty item from Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf's, etc, they would have exchanged it on the spot. I asked about that, but they claimed that their products are authentic, and that the broken perfume was due to a manufacturing error and not due to the way they store perfumes.

Needless to say I don't believe them. Luxury goods require luxury service. It seems that they are not aware of this, and are happily overcharging people who are unaware of the type of service they are supposed to receive when purchasing such products. I'm paying for peace of mind knowing that I purchased a good quality product, and I did not receive that here.

The only reason I went there was because a classmate recommended them to me. When I went there to purchase my perfume, I also brought along another classmate (who also purchased something). After this ordeal, we are all planning to avoid this store, and I recommend the same for anyone reading this. Save yourself the trouble, and purchase from a reputable niche perfume store instead.

As much as I love supporting small businesses, this one is questionable. Even if they are selling authentic items, I believe they are old stock and that is likely why one of the perfumes was so damaged.

It is not standard practice to have to give someone your credit card information over the phone for a refund, nor is it the industry standard (for an exchange on a defective item) for the store to receive 'permission' from the brand to exchange an item. I strongly advise anyone to do their due diligence and choose to shop elsewhere.

Day one with Sospiro Vibrato. I knew it would knock the people’s socks off😏. I’ve been getting the “you smell good” or the “wow, you smell really nice”. This scent is top tier. 10/10 would highly recommend

love it, butThe price is very high, and the scent doesn’t last long.

I loved the samples! Grade A quality for sure, but the ones with a screw top were leaking when I opened the box and they were not screwed on all the way. I payed for the samples so imagine my surprise when half of my very tiny purchase was in the bubble wrap.
A little more concern for hard earned money spent and packaging would be nice.

My item was promptly shipped and received, with care. I was very excited to get this hard to find fragrance and La Parfumerie USA delivered.

Incredible store with a great owner! 10/10 experience and left with exactly what we wanted.

I bought the perfume as a birthday gift for my boyfriend, and he loves it.

Bois Imperial is absolutely a gorgeous unique perfume! I’m totally in love! Just a small spray and it lasts all day! So many compliments! Kudos to their sustainable packaging! Truly a masterpiece in parfumerie!!

La Parfumerie is a wonderful collection of niche fragrances. I have attended two their men’s events. Joel and Julius are great hosts. They strike the balance of hospitality, information and a relaxed atmosphere. If you enjoy fragrance I highly recommend a visit to La Parfumerie.

I found my cologne (bois imperial 10ml) here when it was sold out everywhere else. They had my package shipped within 2 days of ordering it, and the package arrived in great condition!

This place is a GEM!! I randomly came across La Parfumerie a few years ago while trying to source some high end fragrances. I’ve always been skeptical about authenticity when buying fragrances from anywhere other than main stream department stores. But after speaking to Viktoriya I felt very confident about making my first purchase. Now years later and several bottles purchased, this is the ONLY place I will buy fragrances. The variety is unsurpassed! From Xerjoff, Mind Games, Sospiro etc etc! You can’t find these fragrances anywhere in one place. I highly recommend this shop!! Every fragrance is AMAZING! You will be hooked. I promise! The only problem you will have, is how to not spend all your money on the great PARFUMS!!

Emily was a breath of fresh air. Delightful and most helpful with my fragrance selections.

My husband hates the perfume I got.
