La Belle Perfume Distributors - Reviews and experiences

the scent itself looked legit before the mess, but that’s not the point — the package arrived leaking and the bottle was visibly damaged, so the whole experience was ruined from the start.
I ordered a bottle (Circus Fantasy, for anyone tracking details) and when the box arrived the perfume bottle had obvious cracks and was seeping. The shipping box had liquid stains and the inner packaging was minimal — like they slapped it in a box and hoped for the best. That’s on them; if you’re going to ship glass liquids, you need decent protection. I photographed everything right away: the smashed bottle, the stained box, the invoice, the order number — the usual stuff you’d expect to collect if something goes wrong. I also kept every message thread.
After that I tried to resolve it through every channel they appeared on. I messaged them on their own website contact form, sent emails, and even reached out through the platform they were selling on (Temu). At first I got a few short replies — nothing helpful, just vague responses — and then the replies stopped. Completely. For weeks. No follow-up, no offer to replace the bottle, no refund, nothing. It felt like they answered only when convenient and then ghosted when the issue required real action. That’s annoying and unprofessional.
What bothered me more than the broken bottle was how they handled (or rather, didn’t handle) the responsibility part. Their storefront on Temu clearly ties back to their business — same contact details, same address, the whole deal — so in my view I am their customer no matter which platform I used to buy. Temu’s own policies, last I checked, place responsibility on the seller for items listed in their shop. Yet their reply to me later was basically “this isn’t our customer” (paraphrased, of course). That felt like a cop-out. If you create a shop on a marketplace and put your products up for sale, you can’t pretend the order isn’t yours when something goes wrong.
There’s another odd thing: I filed a complaint on a popular review site when I couldn’t get any proper response here, and instead of a straightforward resolution they responded on that site in a way I thought was rude and immature. Worse, they apparently had that complaint removed using information from a completely unrelated order. That looks like they’ve been using other orders to clean up negative feedback. If that’s true, it’s worrying. It suggests they’re more interested in hiding complaints than fixing problems. Maybe they’ve done it before. Maybe they’ve got a pattern. I can’t prove the pattern beyond my own interactions, but between what I experienced and what others have posted, it doesn’t look great.
I’m not trying to be dramatic — I just want to be practical. People deserve to know what happens when a product arrives damaged: you should be able to get a replacement or a refund without needing to throw yourself at the mercy of a customer service void. I’m more than happy to share my photos and messages if anyone asks — I’ve kept everything. If someone from the company wants to actually fix this, fine; I’ve always been open to resolution, I just want them to do the right thing. But after months of being brushed off, I don’t have much faith in that happening.
If you’re still tempted to order from them, my advice: document everything, insist on clear proof that they own the storefront if you buy through a marketplace, and be prepared for a long back-and-forth. Also consider buying the same perfume from a different retailer where customer service is easier to reach — there are plenty of options and frankly I’ll be shopping elsewhere next time. One thing I do want to say, though, is that mistakes happen, packaging fails, items get damaged in transit — I get that. What I can’t accept is being ignored and then having my complaint potentially scrubbed from public view. That’s the part that makes me warn others.
So yeah, not perfect, and I don’t want to paint everything as a conspiracy — maybe someone in their logistics team dropped the ball — but as a buyer you want a company that owns up and makes things right. This one didn’t, at least in my case. If they fixed their response process, I’d consider trying them again, but until then I’ll be sticking to sellers who respond promptly and take responsibility. If you do end up dealing with them, keep screenshots, ask for return labels, and escalate to the marketplace support early if they try to dodge you. That’s the practical takeaway from my experience.
