The Olfex Standard

We don't rely on seller claims alone. Every bottle that sells through Olfex is received by us, inspected against the listing, and verified for authenticity signals, condition, and fill level before we ship it to the buyer. One consistent standard so buyers can trust what they see, and sellers are held to the same bar.

What "Authenticated" means on Olfex

Listing matches the item received
Condition and presentation meet stated standards
Fill level verified against our categories
Authenticity signals pass our checklist

How Authentication Works

Seller verification

Seller account and listing meet our standards before the item is listed.

Listing created with photo standards

Listings use required photos and fill-level category so buyers know what to expect.

Buyer purchases (payment held)

Buyer pays; funds are held securely until the item passes verification.

Seller ships to Olfex

Seller ships the bottle to our facility using the provided label.

Inbound inspection (leak/atomizer/packaging)

We check for leaks, atomizer function, and that packaging matches the listing.

Authenticity verification (batch code + presentation checks)

Batch code, label alignment, fonts, and presentation are checked against known signals.

Fill level verification (category match)

Fill level is verified to match the listed category (e.g. 95–100%, 90–95%).

Repack + ship to buyer (payout released)

Item is repacked and shipped to the buyer; seller payout is released.

Typical processing: 1–3 business days after arrival.

FAQ

Box is not required for all listings, but it affects condition tier and buyer expectations. List accurately; we verify that the item matches what you listed.

We don't perform lab-grade chemical analysis. Our process is designed to catch counterfeits and misrepresentation using observable signals—batch codes, presentation, packaging, and consistency checks. We're transparent about that.

We use defined fill-level categories (e.g. 95–100%, 90–95%). Inbound inspection includes a visual check against the category you listed. If it doesn't match, we'll flag it before shipping to the buyer.

Typically 1–3 business days after the item arrives at Olfex.

The order is canceled and the buyer is refunded. The item is returned to you unless policy requires otherwise (e.g. suspected counterfeit). We'll communicate clearly so you know why it didn't pass.

We support specific product types during early access. Testers and partials may be allowed where we can apply consistent standards; check listing guidelines when you list.

No. We only authenticate full bottles that meet our listing and verification standards. Decants are outside the current scope.

We're launching with a curated set of niche and luxury fragrances—the same anchor list you see on our Fragrances page. Support will expand based on demand and our ability to verify consistently.
