The most popular subscription is a monthly subscription (£14.95 per month), which you can pause or cancel every month.
You also have the choice of purchasing a 6 or 12-month subscription. Here you pay the number of months in advance, which gives you a discount on your subscription! You cannot cancel these subscriptions, but you can pause them. You can also upgrade your monthly subscription to a prepaid one.

My perfume is lasting longer than I thought! Can I pause my subscription and skip a month or two?

Yes, you can always pause your subscription. If you do not wish to receive any perfume for a month, please let us know at least 7 days before the dispatch date. You can do this by pausing your subscription in your account (under the heading my subscription). When you pause, your subscription skips a month. Would you like to pause your subscription for longer? You can but only for up to 3 consecutive months. After this, your subscription will automatically be active again. Make sure you fill in your perfume calendar correctly.

Payments

How much does a perfume cost at Parfumado?

That depends on the type of subscription you choose. Our monthly subscription costs £14.95. Did you choose our 6 or 12-month subscription and pay in advance? Then you get a discount! A 6-month subscription costs £14 per month, a 12-month subscription costs the equivalent of £13.75 per month.

When will an amount be debited from my account?

The monthly amount will be debited when your perfume choice is final. This is a week before the shipping day (ie 7 days before the 1st or 15th of the month). You can pay directly for the products in the Shop.

Are there any additional costs, such as delivery costs?

No, there are no additional costs to our subscriptions. What you see is what you get. The prices of the subscriptions include delivery and VAT. However, orders of gifts (travel cases, full bottles and accessories etc) under £15.00 include a £1.99 delivery charge.

Why do I have to pay more for certain perfumes?

Expand your perfume collection with our special selection. A +€ with a perfume means that there is a one-off charge of €1 to €5 on top of the price of your monthly subscription. We'll debit this in the month you selected the perfume. The extra amount is also shown in your perfume calendar. Don't worry, most perfumes don't require you to pay an additional fee.

How can I change my payment method?

You can change your account number by navigating to 'my subscription'. At the top right, it says in grey 'change payment method'. Here you can select a new desired payment method.

Perfume

Yes, absolutely! We only work with 100% authentic perfumes, bought from authorised suppliers or from the brands themselves. We never work with fake or imitation; this is a policy we take very seriously.

Can I choose the perfumes myself?

Yes, you can choose whichever perfume you would like to receive every month until the 'lock moment'. Every perfume that we offer on the website can be added to your perfume calendar. The price is the same for each perfume, regardless of the price of the perfume in the shop, so go wild.

We also recommend you take the perfume quiz. Based on this quiz, we will recommend 3 highly suited perfumes.

What is the Perfume of the Month?

Well, that depends on the month. Our Perfume of the Month is selected by our in-house experts every month. Essentially it is our suggestion for that month, and we don't just pick any perfume. Instead, we curate our selection based on the specific month, taking into account new releases, the season and its celebrations. We announce the Perfume of the Month on our social channels and in our monthly newsletters. So remember to subscribe and follow! The Perfume of the Month is automatically sent to you if you forget to make your own choice.

Can I also add other products to my perfume calendar instead of perfume?

Unfortunately, this is not possible yet! As it stands, we do not have the operational opportunities to ship other products to the UK. However, we are working on making this possible soon!

Can I order whole bottles?

Yes, we also sell whole bottles from our range in the Parfumado Shop! Is your favourite not in stock? Click on the 'notify me when back in stock' button or contact us.

Can I also order separate travel cases?

Yes, you can order different colours of travel cases in the Parfumado.

Can I also order an (extra) perfume once only?

Yes, you can also order a one-off perfume from us. Go to 'Perfumes' in our webshops, there you will find perfumes that we offer as a single order in addition to a subscription. The perfumes are delivered in an Espresso travel case!

Delivery

Important: Temporary change to your final perfume selection date

To ensure your perfume arrives on time, we are moving up the final selection date (the ‘lock date’) for December and January. With this change, we can get your package ready sooner, so your perfume arrives on time during shipping delays.
This means the final selection date and payment date will both be earlier. After the lock date, you won’t be able to change your perfume for that month, so be sure to pick your perfume on time.
These are the new dates:
- Shipping date December 1: lock date changes from 11/24 to 11/21
- Shipping date December 15: lock date changes from 12/08 to 12/05
- Shipping date January 1: lock date changes from 12/24 to 12/18
- Shipping date January 15: lock date changes from 01/08 to 01/06
Thank you in advance for your understanding.

When will I receive my first order?

Every month Parfumado works with two shipping times; the 1st and the 15th of each month. Depending on when you started your subscription, we will send your perfume on the 1st or the 15th of the month. If you started your subscription 8 days (until 23:59) before the next shipping date, we will send your first perfume on the next shipping date. Your follow-up orders will always be shipped on the same day of the month. Have you created an account and want to start a subscription? You can see (under the heading overview) which dispatch slot you fall into.

Can I still change my chosen perfume?

Yes, but please note that you can change your choice of perfume in your perfume calendar up to 7 days before the shipment (23:59). Didn't meet the deadline? It is no longer possible to change your choice of perfume. If you haven't chosen a perfume, you will automatically receive the Perfume of the Month. This is chosen by our house perfumers every month.

Where can I see my order and order history?

Your upcoming orders can be found in your perfume calendar (top right of the calendar icon), where you can see which perfume you have chosen for the next month(s). You can also see how long you have left to place your order for the next month.

(Friends) discount codes

When starting a subscription, you can use the discount code. When you click on the monthly subscription, an empty field will appear in front of the 'place order' button. Enter your discount code here. It is not possible to use the discount code on a 6 or 12-month subscription. The discount code is not accepted until the field turns green. You will then be taken to the payment page, and you will see that the discount has been deducted.

What are the conditions of discount codes?

Our discount codes are only redeemable on our monthly subscription (£12.95) and not on our 6 or 12-month subscription options (these already have a discount applied). You can use one discount code per order.

I have shared my code, where can I see and change my reward(s)?

On your account page under 'Reward a friend', you can see how many friends have used your discount code. Below are the rewards that you can choose for yourself.
Note: the rewards are only visible when your referral has confirmed the subscription and your account is active (if your account is paused or cancelled, you will not receive a reward).

I've shared my discount code with friends, but I have not yet received a reward?

Your reward will only be displayed on your account once your referral has confirmed the subscription. The reward displayed will be included with your upcoming order.

What if I refer several friends in one month?

Great, thanks for spreading the word! You can now choose multiple gifts. However, you can only redeem one per month.

What if I forget to enter my discount code?

If you have forgotten the discount code and you have already activated your subscription, we can only settle the discount code if you cancel your subscription immediately and start again with the discount code. The discount is only accepted when the field turns green.
