Excellent packaging

Excellent packaging, quickly delivered. My only quibble is the Non-spray bottles used for 1ml samples, but otherwise a great service.

The samples came very quickly in a lovely little velvet bag and hurrah the mojave ghost does not give me a headache, which most perfumes do, I just had an idea it would be ok, don’t know why, but I’m glad because it’s lovely

Wrong (fake?) Perfume & Dreadful Customer Service

Ordered Kilian Good Girl Gone Bad and received a sample that was markedly darker than the original we had from Harrods and smelt different. After an awful online chat with customer services I sent the bottle back. The seller admitted there were “slight differences in notes” - but made no mention of the darker colouring and insisted it was an original! Then refused to provide a refund unless I cancelled the PayPal dispute (knowing I could not then reopen it) and then they escalated the dispute! PayPal found in my favour. For any buyer who knows what their perfume should smell like - BEWARE any site that talks about differences between perfume batches! Like I said, awful customer service…

This customer has been a nightmare from the get go. I don’t usually speak of customers like this but there was literally zero way of getting through to them.

They wanted me to resend the fragrance whilst they had a case open on PayPal which means they would of received the sample and money.

Unfortunately they are very uneducated on fragrances and batch variations which even Kilian themselves would of educated him on that the colours do vary batch to batch even if he bothered to check on online forums he would know that.

I have proof of purchases for my
Carafe. But as he wasn’t happy I went and bought a official kilian branded travel size sample from harrods direct to replace the decant as he wasn’t educated about batch variations. He wanted me to send that whilst having the case with PayPal. Which I refused to do and instead I escalated the case to
PayPal and let PayPal handle it due to the fact He would of got the sample and his money back.

PayPal did not charge me as I had proof of purchase but due to them having a seller protection guarantee he was refunded from their end but due to me having proof of purchase and upon sending in the conversation of him trying to get me to send out the official sample with the case ongoing and lying about me never communicating I was never charged thankfully.

The delivery took longer than expected

The delivery took longer than expected, and the test are hard to tell apart, since the text rubs off too easily, but other than that the packaging and the vials seem to be of decent quality, still worth the buy

Lovely perfume, useless spray bottle

Speedy and efficient delivery and perfume is beautiful. But spray bottle is useless. Every time I try to spray it the perfume pours out, what a waste.

Hi Paula,

Sorry to hear that. If we had communication from yourself we would of sent a replacement as sounds like you received a faulty sprayer as this has never been a issue before. If you contact us I will sort that out for you.

Kind regards,

Amazing customer service

Ordered from Imperial a few times now and cannot fault the service. Items have all arrived quickly, well packaged and in a velvet bag.

Where imperial really shine is their customer service. Contacted them asking for the batch number for the Aventus I’d sampled and loved after the one I tried in store was slightly different. They really went above and beyond. I placed another order for more Aventus and they included the little bit they had left of the original bottle so I’ll at least get the same scent for my wedding day!

Thanks a lot Imperial, I’ll definitely be ordering many more times in the future!

ABSOLUTELY GUTTED

The product came next day which was fantastic but the scent doesnt last and is so weak. Its not what I smelt in store. I always purchase my Penhaligons from the shop itself. This is the first time I've bought online and its like its been watered down or something....absolutely gutted, £160 down the toilet....lesson learned. Never will I recommend this company and never again will I use it. Should've just paid the extra £15-£20 and got it direct from Penhaligon's. 😔☹️

Hi Carl, sorry to hear your unhappy. Our fragrances are 100% genuine and can guarantee that. You can even ask Penhaligons company directly about the batch number underneath and they will confirm the authenticity. We haven’t had any communication from yourselves in regards to this and would like to help as best as we can. There is a reason why we have hardly any negative reviews and it’s because we are a genuine company who sells nothing but genuine fragrances. Halfeti have had issues with batch variations which you can check on online forums, unfortunately I am in agreement that Halfeti is not at the standard of performance which it used to be in comparison to before. But I do 100% assure you the fragrance is genuine.

Please do send us over a email so we can see how we can help.

Kind regards,

Imperial Fragrances UK

A good company

Ordered two 1ml samples, both vials were original, well packaged and sent in a velvet pouch.
Very pleased with the service and although I hate having to pay for samples to see what works with the skin, these proved cheaper than other companies even with the postage. Will probably be buying more from this company.

I ordered initio oud of greatness original received my order as processed on time and was pleased as Imperial fragrance enabled me to truly experience the fragrance at a reasonable price before making an informed decision to purchase a full bottle as opposed to risking a blind buy.

Couldn’t ask for more!

Excellent selection, great prices & delivered within the advertised timescales! I think the recent reviews complaining about delivery timescales are completely unfair. Expecting this company to offer deliveries beyond the limitation of the postal system is entirely unreasonable. Keep offering your excellent service & don’t let the negative Nellies get you down!
