The products themselves are frequently described as high quality, authentic, and effective, with many appreciating the opportunity to sample a wide range of scents.

1st time I’ve used this website and very impressed.
Website user friendly and received my perfumes very quickly, so efficient.
Excellent products and obviously original fragrances.
Such a great way to try high end fragrances before purchasing. I only ordered the 3ml sizes but ample to try out on a few occasions to make sure I liked them and perfect size for small handbags on a night out!
will definitely be using again and recommending to friends.

Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We’re so glad your first experience with Decanted was a great one. Our 3ml sizes are perfect for exactly that, testing over a few wears and popping in your bag for a night out. We truly appreciate your support and the kind recommendation. Can’t wait to help you discover more fragrances next time! 💫 ~Brad

great selection

Parcel came quickly, and it's so handy to have a handful of scents to try out. Less daunting than comitting to one and praying you still like it in a few months

Thanks so much for your kind words! We totally get it - committing to a full bottle can feel like a big leap (and cost), so we’re glad our samples make things a little easier to find what you like. Enjoy testing them out, and we’re here whenever you’re ready for your next scent discovery! ~Brad

Ordered a sample of Louis Vuitton…

Ordered a sample of Louis Vuitton imagination and was a perfect amount for me to test it on a night out.

Was a really quick turnaround from ordering the sample to it being with me aswell.

Highly recommend .

Thanks so much for your review! We’re glad the sample size was just right for your night out — Imagination is an unreal fragrance, a good choice. Happy to hear it arrived quickly too. Really appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you back again soon! ~Brad

Never arrived and radio silence!

Ordered in November, package never arrived. I emailed twice in December with no reply and I have messaged the company on instagram, got a reply to say they’d look in to it the following day and then absolutely nothing. I have messaged them 3 times after that response and nothing. It’s an absolute joke. Do not waste your money.

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re genuinely sorry for the experience you had. Unfortunately, Royal Mail misplaced your original parcel in transit, and the timing of your review was just as we were fully resolving things. We did send out a replacement as soon as it became clear the parcel wasn’t recoverable, and we hope it arrived safely and met your expectations.

We completely understand how frustrating the delay and lack of clear communication must have felt at the time, we’re working on improving our response times, especially during busy periods, as over the festive period it does get manic. Your experience wasn’t up to our usual standards, and we’re sorry again for delay. We hope to see you back in the future to discover new scents! ~Brad

Better alternatives out there. Slow dispatch and terrible communication.

I am still waiting for an order to be dispatched despite being ordered 14 days ago.

Customer service is non-existent. I requested an update 5 days ago and have not received any communication back - not even a holding message / email / call to say they will look in to it for me.

This is my second order in the space of a month. The first order was also rather slow to be dispatched, but despite this I thought I would give your company a second chance as the quality of the product was good.

I have had no communication from Decanted at all regarding either order at any point. I have since used two online competitors and have received both of their orders very promptly with great communication throughout.

Giving two stars as the product quality is actually great - if you ever receive it… just don’t expect any customer support if you need help or a refund.
