Truly a gem - ignore the low score.
Ignore the bad reviews, they’re mostly just shipping issues. I’ve had zero shipping issues on my end and it actually arrived in like 3 days or so since my order, and the customer service is extremely friendly and almost instant for any questions you have.
The actual juice inside is what matters, and I am not disappointed in the slighted.
I’ve owned Àerre for almost a month and they’re super elegant and expensive smelling, they seem to pre macerate their bottles, so you don’t have to wait a few weeks just for it to smell decent (unlike Whif, another Australian dupe company I’ve recently tried).
In terms of accuracy obviously don’t expect 100%, they’re more like 80-95% at best, depending on which one. What matters more is that their actual blends are very pleasant, smooth, and most importantly avoid these traits: headache-inducing, alcohol, cleaning-product, or synthetic smelling in general, unlike Whif at the start (but I’m still yet to wait for full maceration on theirs).
I would recommend trying their LV imagination and Creed SMW inspired by’s. Some recreations of lower end designer ones like Bleu de Chanel and YSL Y are both less accurate and slightly more synthetic or cheaper smelling in my experience, but still very pleasant nonetheless.
I guess my only real suggestion is that they should introduce a sampling system where you could get a pack of men’s, women or unisex fragrance sample at only 2ml or something, then be able to choose the ones you want from there so there’s no wastage in returning bottles you don’t like.
Either way I’m extremely happy with this company and am going to keep buying from them.
