Microperfumes - Reviews and experiences

Okay, funny story that was not funny at first. I ordered two identical Chanel splits because I like to keep one at home and one in my gym bag, very practical, right? What arrived was one Chanel and one mystery bottle that smelled nothing like it. I messaged the seller right away and then kind of heard crickets — a bit of blaming me for the mix-up before they finally came around. After a couple back-and-forths they sent the right vial and apologised, which honestly cooled me off a lot. Not slick, not instant, but they did fix it. I’m still wary and will double-check next time, but for my day-to-day use now I’ve got the right scent back in rotation and that’s what matters.

I wouldn’t trust this seller. I needed an Oud Wood for our anniversary — wanted something special, not a gamble — and what arrived looked legit until I opened it. Midway through unwrapping I realised the bottle was leaking and the scent was... thin, like diluted granny perfume. Oddly, the glass and cap fooled me at first, heavy and convincing, so they get a point for presentation. The sample sent was the wrong one (Lost Cherry), and the order form had been quietly altered, which pushed me over the edge. I told them I suspected refilled retail bottles and fake barcodes; they refused a refund and offered a replacement of the same diluted mess. After sitting in freezing trucks the fragrance was basically ruined — $275 for watery sadness.

don’t expect much flexibility on late deliveries. A kinder tone would go a long way.

I spotted these micro perfumes on a friend's shelf and a colleague suggested I try a set, so I ordered with a bit of scepticism — mainly worried they'd be weak or inaccurate. The truth is mixed. About six of the samples matched what I know from the brands, which was a relief, and one lasted longer than I expected, which surprised me in a good way. On the down side, two scents were off compared to what I'm used to, and the cap design is awkward. You have to pop it off and dab, which feels wasteful and isn't ideal if your dermatologist advised against direct skin application. Overall I won't avoid the brand entirely, but I'll be pickier next time.
