I purchased the Mugler Angel refill perfume 100ml bottle, the refill bottle i received smelled very bad, it stinks, and was a different colour to the authentic Mugler Angel perfume, I returned the perfume and they refused a refund and wanted to send me back the stinky perfume they sold to me for $280. I have attached a picture of the authentic perfume compared to refill perfume I received. Show details
Very poor experience with your service. Before Christmas, I ordered two perfumes which I never received, and I was asked to contact the delivery company myself with no response. I ordered again, and this order has been marked as “dispatched” since 23rd Feb with no updates. What is the point of paying for express shipping if delivery is not on time? This is highly unprofessional. Show details

The deal was very good. If I could rate more than 5 stars, I definitely would have bought two sets. The price was very reasonable, and the shipping was fast. The packaging was fine, and the small gift was very nice. However, there was one very negative issue that almost ruined the deal: one of the 100 ml fragrance bottles was leaking. Show details

City perfume sent me a faulty bottle of Initio musk therapy with a serial number that doesn't match the box, a faulty lid, scent had no smell and labels not aligned. It smells nothing like my original bottle of musk therapy. I returned the item and they refuse to refund me. They called me a liar and ignored the obvious signs of the counterfeit bottle. NEVER BUY FROM CITY PERFUME Show details

No delivery then ghosting - best to use PayPal – My story - I ordered and paid $216 for Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gio Profumo Parfum 125ml 15 November 2023. On 7 December 2023 I contacted City Perfume asking why the purchase hadn't been delivered. No reply. On 10 December 2023 I made a refund claim with PayPal advising non-delivery/ no contact from seller. I then received this response through… Read more

Great products and Exceptional service everytime! – I have bought more than a handful of perfumes from this shop and I can verify as a instagram fragrance reviewer, they only sell genuine products. Watch for their great year end, moms day, valentines or mid year sales, that’s when I usually get great deals on niche fragrances. Their lineup is fantastic and you can find really hard to source… Read more
perfumes here first, and they have responded really quickly (via email or Instagram) even to my silly queries.
Most recently I was having trouble finding my balance credit and the cust service agent actually took the time to guide me through the website and created a apply credit button just to help my IT impaired self out! I really appreciate this kind gesture of helping me out, with my silly questions and all. I always email them asking how a fragrance smells because I blind buy a lot and they take the time to reply patiently everytime.
I have nothing but great things to say because my product always arrives via express and it’s such a pleasant experience from purchasing online to obtaining the package within a few days. Highly recommended you to shop with them if you’re looking for niche or designer fragrances in Australia. I have at least 10 in my wishlist on their online store. 10/10 service everytime. Well done to the guys in the city perfume team! I see all your hard work! Exceptional.
A Beautiful Store and Superb Customer Service – City Perfume is a store where staff are not only experts in their products but are also willing to go the distance when helping a customer. I ordered a gift perfume to be posted to America, all done through the store for me. I did not have to lift a finger once the transaction was completed. The parcel never arrived and I did my best to track it,… Read more
to no avail. I eventually gave the parcel up as lost. Unbeknownst to me a staff member was on the trail of the lost package, recovered it and personally delivered it back to me in pristine condition. Impressive!! Another great aspect of City Perfume is that they hold Master Classes in perfumery. I learned how to store perfume correctly, how to choose a scent that suited me; many other interesting facts about perfume. I love this store. The store is elegant glamour, and the experience of shopping for a perfume in store is one of opulence, a lovely feeling in these times where life can be severely lacking in simple beauty. Of course a perfume can be chosen via phone or Internet because the staff are so expert in explaining about scents that one feels comfortable choosing and buying when this option is more convenient. I recommend City Perfume over any department store shopping experience and my rating would be off the charts were that at all possible.
Positive reviews
As a first time customer of City Perfume I I was a bit hesitant to place an order due to the mixed reviews, however I placed an order around 2pm Monday with express post (which would have been from Sydney to Brisbane) and received the order on my doorstep at 2pm the next day! Super happy customer!
Was a little skeptical after reading mixed reviews however my experience was fantastic! I'm a first time buyer and needed clarification on some products. Ria from customer service was excellent at providing quick and detailed information. I paid for express delivery and received my order within 2 days. Thanks so much for a great shopping experience Show details
Authentic fragrances – I bought Kilian Straight To Heaven White Cristal and happy with my purchase. Authentic fragrance and fast delivery. Show details
Negative reviews
The shopping experience itself was smooth and satisfactory. However, I have some reservations about the authenticity of the perfume. I’ve tried this fragrance multiple times at airports and David Jones, where the scent lingered till the following day. The one I purchased from City Perfume fades within an hour, which is quite unusual for this product. Show details
Buyer beware - frustrating experience – Ordered two perfumes from the website and as advised by the website itself: "City Perfume is committed to dispatching online orders as fast and efficiently as possible. Online orders are packed during business hours, Monday to Friday from 9:00am to 5:30pm. Parcels are picked up by the relevant delivery company around midday. Orders are aimed to… Read more
be dispatched within 1-2 business days of placement time. Once an order has been dispatched, all relevant tracking information will be emailed to customer. Please allow at least 24 hours from dispatch time for tracking information to become available. If there is any delay in dispatching an order, the friendly team will notify customer and discuss options accordingly"
However, if they do not have your order, they will not update, they will not advise you that there is a two week waiting period and have your money on hold the entire time. Only after putting both a paypal dispute and two complaints to the website will you be advised that the reason why nothing was shipped is because they did not have the stock the entire time.
Preferably, buy from a US Site, there will be a similar two week waiting period but at least thats expected
NEVER EVER EVER EVER ORDER FROM HERE – UNTRUSTWORTHY! DO NOT EVER ORDER FROM THIS WEBSITE. I knew something was sus when I was unable to create an account to see the progress of my order. I tried a bunch of times and it kept saying the link was broken. I tried the forgot password link and nothing worked. I replied to the invoice email and told them I was unable to create an account, no… Read more
response. But then I email immediately after that and say cancel my order and within 20 mins I had a notification from PayPal saying the refund is being processed. Update: was harassed by the company months after posting this.

Very good (no i am not an employee) – Was a bit skeptical of it with the half 1 star and half 5 star reviews however ordered friday, arrived Tuesday with 2 little sample bottles of Creed Aventus and Romeo & Juliet EDP. Haven't opened the actual product yet (JPG Le Beau EDT) however the Tin like packaging is legitamate and I'm very confident that come Christmas when my son opens it it will be genuine. Would recomend this store however it does seem like a gamble for many people.
Cancelled my pre-Christmas order, didn't tell me – Ordered two products on 12 December, 2023, paid for express shipping as these were Christmas presents. Received no advice they were dispatched, so checked status via my account this morning (18 December) only to discover the order is cancelled! Never received any communication about it at all. Now I have to a real store to get the gifts at short notice. Show details
The worse costumer service – Defamation of costumers character. Exposing your privacy to others. I bought a perfume they didn't have at the shop. After 10 days I received it unsealed. 2 days later one of the workers followed me at a coffee shop to tell me its a mistake and I have to return it. I was at work then they told my friends that I sent them to buy that I didn't… Read more
return my perfume. Anyway I returned it. I am waiting for someone to answer me. No managers and no one contacted me. F.. UP costumer service. And over priced.
Genuine product – My favourite perfume is no longer sold at David Jones or Myer and there’s no way I’m paying for a chemist knockoff. I was a bit worried ordering online from a place I never physically shopped at before but the perfume arrived beautifully packaged and it’s definitely genuine. Customer service was great also Show details
Disappointed – Bought few items from PDM Delina line including the parfum. Asked for a sample of oriana so if I liked it, would buy the 75ml bottle. They gave me lancome la vie est belle instead. Disappointed and would probably go to Libertine instead next time.
Fabulous products & Exceptional customer service – Went to City perfume store in Bankstown for the grand launch in December, the store was ultra modern, easy to find, easy to navigate and I was completely satisfied with the product availability the quality and the price I purchased two products Sauvage by Dior and Y by YSL for men I also got my free samples and the staff where warm, inviting and… Read more
provided an exceptional flawless service, the staff where knowledgeable and well trained, well done city perfume highly recommend all three stores for gifts and awesome customer service.
Terrible Customer Support – I have bought a Tom Ford from them on the 16th of November for a Christmas gift. They Processed the order quite fast with the tracking. However, my package got lost. I tried to contact them multiple times but they haven't responded to any of my emails (there is no phone number). It was a terrible experience. Show details
Poor customer support – Ordered Oud for greatness and DeMarly Herod worth $858 on 19th Nov Invoice #cp5590. A week later the website had 20% off and another website was offering 20% off on the same perfumes. Requested their team to price match or offer credit/refund for difference. They simply refused. The perfumes arrived today with not even one sample not even for the… Read more
perfume I ordered. It is a contrasting experience when compare it Libertine perfume. My bad luck I ordered my perfumes from city perfume. Had ordered Demarly Layton from Libertine perfume and same thing happened. The price dropped and in one request they refunded $79 as the price difference. When Libertine perfumes arrived they had sent a thank you note and atleast 15 samples. I would stay clear from city perfumes and recommend Libertine perfume for a great customer service and value for money.
I Love City Perfume – They always make their best to make the customer happy, I love all the City Perfume Team. I give them 10 Stars.

Smells Great – Long overdue review but not too late I suppose. Good variety of niche perfumes at compatitive prices. My Tuscan Leather batch smells great. Show details
Great experience – This store has become my go to for buying fragrance online. I know I can trust the quality and authenticity, communication is excellent and prices are very competitive. They have a great range of fragrance brands and their customer service is second to none. I have no hesitation recommending these guys if you are looking want the piece of mind of knowing you are buying from a trusted seller and also want fantastic customer service.
Cannot fault their service! – Was purchasing Dior for my fiancé, straight forward finding it on the website, was concerned with Chemist Warehouse and went with an reputable dealer. I paid for express shipping and it arrived next business day. Show details · 1
Terrible online experience – Bought a 30ml perfume only to be told days later that they had none. They offered to then sell me the larger version at a ‘discounted’ price which was actually $20 more than the average standard price of other online retailers. Poor service and inaccurate website Show details
Slow Distribution – This company sells quality products, packaging is excellent but, they are very slow to send products. If you buy Sunday you’d expect a dispatch Monday. Last order was a slow dispatch too, it’s the only thing that lets their service down. Show details

Poor customer satisfaction – Called them with concern over a $460 perfume I ordered online. The perfume doesn’t perform good at all. I just expressed my concern and the response is we can’t do anything about it. And that it’s a family business and they lose money otherwise, never mind about the money I have spent. Plus all the background advises to the manager I’m on call… Read more
with. I was suggested to buy moisturisers for the perfume to perform. This is not my first perfume ( or my first niche perfume). I am sure I would be dealt more professionally in a drug store. I would suggest buying from other websites if you really have to buy online like I did. Huge let down! If this is just about the money then I lost the money only which is not an issue for me but you lost a client!
Hi Maya, We're disappointed to hear this. From… Read more
First class service, great product – Trevor went out of his way after hours to amend a manufacturer issue that I encountered. Awesome effort and made everything hassle free. Packaged great as always. Certainly the fragrance store I’ll visit first online. If everyone sells similar, if not the same products, the service has to standout. Trevor and the team at City Perfume did indeed do that for me. Well done guys.
Shiseido men – Found a product on my deal from this store. There was a problem with a delivery, but it wasn't the store's problem. Troy from City Perfume gave me a few phone calls saying what the problem was. Excellent customer service and a product eventually arrived, very nicely packaged. Show details
Fast deliveries and very Reliable service – I ordered Creed and Tom Ford Perfumes online at www.cityperfume.com.au received the parcel with 2 working days. I was amazed with theit fast delivery. They upgarded to express post at no extra cost to me and they added unexpected gifts with my order I can't be happier. Thank you for your outstanding service. Show details
Slow Delivery – I bought a girogio arman online. I paid $15 for express delivery. After 3 days, I am yet to get my perfume. My understanding is items purchased on express delivery within Australia should be delivered within 1 business day. as at the time of writing this review, I have not received my perfume! Bad service!!!
Excellent service – Terry was more then helpful, some of tge best customer service i have experienced along with expert advice. Will definately shop with city perfume again!
What an amazing store! – The staff have so much knowledge Great service a wonderful expirience ! My favourite fragrance has been discontinued but the staff helped me find a new fragrance that I just fell in love with !
My favorite Perfumery, – The staffs there are very knowledgeable about their products. They help me find the perfect scent for me and my husband.. I will tell all my friends and family about your store.. Thank you so much
