I've used this site a few times now & have absolutely no complaints. Customer service is very good & delivery is usually a few days. They have a really good selection of samples to choose from. Overall highly recommend & I'll be using them again no doubt

Worst experience

It took four months to deliver small packages with the worst service I've experienced. I wouldn't suggest buying anything from them, even if it were free.

Hello,

Thank you for your review. We’re sorry to hear that you were unhappy with your experience.

Your order was dispatched 5 days after purchase, which was during the Christmas period in Northern Ireland, when postal services operate with reduced schedules. The parcel was sent via Royal Mail International Tracked, and the tracking number was provided so the shipment could be followed throughout its journey.

According to the official tracking, the parcel travelled and was handled as follows (chronologically):

23 December 2025
• 16:50 – Accepted at Parcelshop, Ashbury Avenue Post Office (BT19 6TH), Northern Ireland
• 17:13 – Sender preparing item
• 18:27 – Item received at Northern Ireland Mail Centre
• 19:38 – Item processed at Northern Ireland Mail Centre

24 December 2025
• 05:20 – Item received at Langley HWDC (Royal Mail international hub)
• 05:50 – Item leaving the UK

29 January 2026
• 08:28 – Item received in Tel Aviv–Yafo, Israel by the local delivery partner

1 February 2026
• 22:42 – Delivery attempted – no answer

4 February 2026
• 09:16 – Delivery attempted – no answer

5 February 2026
• 10:18 – Delivery attempted – no answer
• 12:50 – Item available for redelivery or collection at the local post office in Tel Aviv

5 March 2026
• 12:50 – Still available for redelivery or collection

The tracking clearly shows that the parcel arrived in Israel and several delivery attempts were made by the local postal service. The parcel was then held at the local post office and made available for collection or redelivery for an extended period.

We would also like to highlight that for the entire period between February and March we did not receive any email or message from you asking about the parcel or requesting assistance. We are always happy to help customers track parcels or contact the delivery partner when needed.

Unfortunately, once a parcel reaches the destination country, delivery is handled by the local postal operator, and we cannot control missed delivery attempts or parcels awaiting collection. However, the order was shipped correctly and was fully tracked throughout its journey.

Tracking number: LE413823077GB
Service used: Royal Mail International Tracked
Destination: Israel

If you still require any assistance with the parcel or contacting the local postal service, please feel free to reach out and we will gladly help.

Kind regards,
SmellToImpress

Updated

Update: got my package. Had some issues with the delivery, but ok. I ordered 5 samples. One of them came with a broken atomiser, but the company will refund it.
A plus is that even 1 ml sample goes with spray.
What I didn’t like that you have to guess about your order status. Even if some lines were out of stock (though at the website all were in), it’s better to notify the customer. I would just cancel the order. And when I asked about the shipping and was told 11/12 that it was picked by UPS that day, but actual shipping took place 15/12 according to notification at my Apple wallet.

Very poor customer service. Do not recommend.
I made an order December 4, got an email confirmation saying they will notify me when they send the order.
On December 11 I texted at their website chat (no response), then texted at their WhatsApp asking about the shipment. Got a reply : “Good morning your order was picked up this morning by UPS sorry we were out of stock on few lines”.
On December 14 I texted again asking for the tracking number. Got no response.
Later at my Apple wallet got a notification that the order was only sent on December 15. Now it shows the delivery date December 29. I paid for the delivery around 10€ to wait my pack of samples almost a month. I wouldn’t order if I knew it will take so long.
I will update the review when I get at last my package.

Good evening Anna, we got really busy now between Black Friday and Christmas, so unfortunately few lines were out of stock. Also on top we did have a little issue with our normal shipping company as you needed the parcel to go to : Hi :)
Is it possible to deliver to the parcel shop (4000, DagliBrugsen Gundsømagle · Gulddyssevej 7)?
Won’t be able to receive the address delivery on weekdays. Due to this we had to ship with different company which as our normal shipping company only ships to residential addresses. We hope your order reaches you earlier then the date provided. Really sorry once again about the delay.

Very disappointing experience.

Very disappointing experience.
I ordered some samples 10 days ago and paid €10 just for transport—for a tiny sample pack that easily fits in an envelope. I received only the confirmation email and since then: no updates, no tracking number, nothing. I’ve tried contacting customer service several times and have been completely ignored.

At this point, I doubt I’ll ever see the package or my money back. For me, this feels like extremely poor customer service, if not a scam. I definitely cannot recommend this company.

Thank you …

After my previous one star review Pete got in touch with me, he apologised (more than once) and sent me a much larger sample than my original order was for, which arrived very quickly.
So although I was disappointed previously I can’t fault the customer service in quickly rectifying the problem. Thank you.

Perfume didnt smell anything like…

Perfume didnt smell anything like intended perfume
Returned it using their return process which generated a return label.
They claimed they didnt receive it despite having proof of postage it was delivered and wouldnt refund money!

Theyve now replied to this review with absolute lies. I sent proof of return and delivery to them and all they said is to ask evri where they had returned it to. Absolutely ridiculous!!! DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY. Crap products and even worse customer service

UPDATE 3. After another 3 days of leaving here our email, no contact from so called buyer, so clearly a fake review to make our company bad.
UPDATE 2. Happy days, the person is actually alive, could you please tell us your order number or at least date of purchase and item you have purchased so that we can find you? We havent had any customer returning any product in last 6 months, anything that would help us find your order would be greatly appreciated as we think you are reviewing the wrong company. Our email is info@smelltoimpress.com

Hi there could you please contact us on info@smelltoimpress.com as we haven't had any fragrance returned from any buyer this year at all so wonder is this review ment for our business at all? Writing at least first name would help rather them PM initials. Thank you in advance
UPDATE: of course after we requested from the person their order number or any other details through Trustpilot they didnt bother even replying to us. Clearly wasnt ment for us or was made on purpose by competition. Trustpilot again useless in not being even able to say who the person is. Anybody can write a bad review about any company and they do absolutely nothing about it because they dont care, all they say is subscribe to one of our plans (which are extortionately expensive by the way)

I was sent a half empty sample

Update: got a response from customer service, who sent a replacement for the faulty item and a free sample with speedy shipping.

I was sent a half empty sample and then ignored by customer service when I complained. I ordered three official samples from smell to impress, including a 2ml of "ylang in gold". Firstly, the order took nearly 2 weeks to arrive (12 days exactly) despite saying it would be sent by first class post. Then when I received and opened the package, I found the ylang in gold sample was literally half empty. The two other samples I ordered were both also 2ml, and it was clear the ylang in gold sample contained less liquid. I sent an email the same day (13th February) with photographic proof and asking for a refund of the ylang in gold sample. I got no answer, so sent another email on morning of 19th February and still have not received a response. Although 2/3 samples were okay, I wouldn't order from here again - they've sold me a used sample as BNIB and then ignored my complaint. Better to just use a trusted decant site.

I needed my order quickly and wasn’t sure it would arrive in time - but Pete made it happen!
Fast delivery, great service, and authentic perfumes.

Great purchase, loved my latest perfume.

Arrived on time, excellent packaging, I love being able to try out small sample sizes of designer fragrances before splashing out. Reasonably priced and I can pop it into my handbag and go. I'm grateful for the polite service and fast delivery.

The best ever

Clive Christian’s Town & Country is nothing short of a masterpiece. From the moment I sprayed it, the scent captivated everyone around me. It exudes an air of sophistication and timeless elegance, perfectly balancing fresh citrusy top notes with warm, woody undertones. The composition is both refined and charismatic, effortlessly commanding attention.

Wherever I went, people stopped me to ask, “What are you wearing?” It’s the kind of fragrance that leaves a lasting impression, making you feel confident and distinguished. If you’re looking for a scent that embodies luxury and turns heads, Town & Country is unparalleled.

Original niche men's perfume samples at good prices

I found the niche men's perfumes I wanted and the original samples as well which is even better, with card envelope.
The other good thing with this site is they give you the option of making an offer of you think the price they are quoting is too much.
I gave them an offer £2 less than what my perfumes were listed for and all my offers were accepted.
So I'm very happy with this.

Second purchase

I purchased from them back in 2022, and more samples in 2024. They are pretty good for sampling and comparing before deciding to splurge on a full-size bottle, I also use them for travels.

Did not encounter any problems with shipping and dispatching, items were well-packed too.
