Authenticity

Every bottle we sell is authentic. Here is how we make sure of it, and why some of our houses carry a mark the others don't.

Two ways a bottle reaches you

Houses we distribute

Fragrapedia Haus is the official North American distributor for twenty-one niche houses, from Sospiro and Nobile 1942 to Filippo Sorcinelli and Kajal. For these, we are the importer of record: bottles come to us directly from the house, we hold the stock, and we supply other retailers across the United States and Canada. On our site these products carry the mark Distributed by us. It tells you the shortest possible route — maker, us, you.

Everything else we carry

The rest of our catalogue — Amouage, Xerjoff, Creed and the others — we source through the brands' authorized distribution channels. These are the same channels a department store would use. Nothing on our shelves comes from the grey market, from parallel importers, or from any source we cannot trace back to the house.

What the mark does and doesn't mean

The Distributed by us mark describes our relationship with a house. It does not rank the authenticity of what we sell: a bottle without the mark is exactly as genuine as one with it. It carries the same guarantee and went through the same checks before it shipped.

Our guarantee

If a fragrance you buy from us is ever shown not to be authentic, we refund it in full, including shipping both ways. We have never had to.

Before it ships

Every order is checked by hand — seal, batch code, packaging — before it leaves us. Stock is kept out of light and heat. Testers are never sold as retail bottles.

Samples

Every order ships with two to four samples, chosen from the houses we carry and scaled to what you spend. Tell us at checkout if you'd like something specific.
