Scent quiz
How the factory works

Why our R60 bottle smells like their R2,000 one

We're not selling a fake — we're selling the scent, minus the ad campaign, the mall lease and the celebrity contract.

01

We study the original

Our perfumers map the icon's top, heart and base notes before touching a single oil.

02

We rebuild it locally

Blended and tested in South Africa until it holds up next to the original, spray for spray.

03

We batch it small

Bottled weekly in small runs, so nothing sits on a shelf long enough to fade.

04

You pay factory price

No concession fee, no brand ambassador — the saving lands straight on your receipt.

Bought three bottles for R150 and they last the whole day. My colleagues keep asking what I'm wearing.

I resell these at the salon. R30 a bottle in, R60 out — easiest side hustle I've had.

Good to know

Questions, answered

Are these the actual designer perfumes?

No. Every bottle is our own formulation, developed to be inspired by a well-known scent. We are not affiliated with any designer house, and we never sell our bottles as originals.

How long does the scent last?

Most of our fragrances wear for six to eight hours on skin, and longer on clothing. Warm, humid coastal weather can shorten that a little.

How do I pay if I don't have a card?

Instant EFT, SnapScan, Capitec Pay and cash on delivery in major metros all work. You can also complete your whole order on WhatsApp and pay on collection.

Can I return a bottle I don't like?

Unopened bottles can be returned within 14 days for a full refund or exchange. If a bottle arrives damaged, send us a photo on WhatsApp and we'll replace it at no cost.

What does it take to become a reseller?

A starter order at trade price. You'll get product photos, price lists and WhatsApp status templates, plus restock support whenever you sell out. Apply here.
