Frequently asked questions
Is the fragrance guaranteed authentic?
The sample does not come in the manufacturer's original retail packaging and is not an official brand sample, but the fragrance inside is the same original perfume. It is never diluted, altered or mixed.
How many sprays does a 2 ml sample give?
In practice, a 2 ml sample is plenty for trying a fragrance over several days, in different situations and on your own skin before deciding on a full-size bottle.
How is a Be Frsh sample different from an in-store tester?
A Be Frsh sample contains genuine original perfume decanted into a smaller spray bottle. You can see how the scent develops on your skin through the day, how it feels in different weather, and whether it truly fits your style.
What kind of packaging does the sample come in?
Samples do not come in the manufacturer's original packaging but in Be Frsh's own sample packaging. The contents, however, are genuine original fragrance, hand-decanted from a full-size bottle.
Do I have a right of return?
Opened or used fragrance samples cannot be returned for hygiene and resale reasons. Please notify us in advance by email at info@befrsh.com so we can send you detailed return instructions.
Can I give fragrance samples as a gift?
A sample is also a great gift when you are not entirely sure of the recipient's taste. It lets them explore several niche and designer fragrances at their own pace and find the one that suits them best.
How should I store my fragrance?
Keep fragrances out of reach of children and pets. Do not use perfume near open flames, do not spray it on irritated skin, and do not ingest the product.
