The best perfume storage is completely dark, cool and low humidity. We have had this exact perfume storage; going back to 2015! It is not good for them to be in a retail store environment with fluorescent light! Even sealed in their original boxes, even if the boxes are black most stores DO NOT store their perfume properly. At all. They just hope to sell it within a year. About Us / Shipping We started way back in 2014 selling Creed and splits, Aventus is still what the owner of Finescents wears daily! Incorporated in 2015 and trademarked in 2016, we continue to expand to new offerings but always keeping our grounded midwestern ethics. We don't lie or push or hype market in any capacity! Everything we sell is kept in light, temp, and humidity-controlled environment. We ALWAYS ship in new boxes, often in a padded mailer but there is a new box inside it. Double the protection! After the sale, the packaging is the first thing the customer sees, and we take great pride in packing and timely shipping. We often beat the Ebay estimated delivery time, but we cannot promise it. See our endless feedback going back years for many examples of our delivery speed, and on occasion some where it didn't go as well. We are human! We strive to do the extra when something does go wrong. It's easy the 99.9% of time when things go smoothly, where we really shine as a company and why we have been around so long is we go the extra mile when there is an issue! You will see the owner answer within minutes typically, day or night when something comes up. Thanks for your many years of support! Vintage or Rare Perfume Disclaimer:Quality Assurance: We ensure that each perfume we carry is handled and stored properly to maintain its integrity. Older or Vintage perfumes are often desirable to collectors for few reasons- the first two are the main ones1: The perfume is discontinued and no longer available.2: The perfume is still available, but is different from when they were first released (the artist’s pure intention in the fragrance).3: The perfume ages well, gets better smelling with age. Least commonNote about all Vintage items: They are sold in the condition stated and shown. We take new pictures for each item sold. Our perfume storage is best in the industry bar none, and would be considered ideal to any perfume collector. That being said, some vintage items have not been in our possession since their release date. Finescents has existed since late 2013, and the majority of our vintage perfumes were imported from France when available for sale- but there are a few exceptions where the owner bought items from before 2010 where there was prior possession. Please read the first couple paragraphs of the description area for batch info, how long we have had the item and more info.Vintage and antique items by nature have some imperfections and signs of use, age and time. Perfumes over 3-10 years start to lose their freshness and may start to smell like alcohol. Certain ingredients and compounds will break down and "turn" faster than others. For instance, a perfume using a natural ingredient to make the smell orange or bergamot for the opening will fade quicker that one that uses a synthetic ingredient. Natural ingredients were used much more back in the day. The main point is the older the perfume, the less it may smell like what you may remember. This is NOT a defect of the item we are selling. There is NO, I repeat NO possible way for a bottle that has been stored years and years to smell exactly the same as it did years ago. Due to ingredients. Nature. Physics. Organic things and life.The ONLY way for it to smell exactly the same is to go back in time.Please remember that perfumes ALSO, OFTEN; and often more than ONCE, go through reformulations or changing of ingredients. This can be due to rising perfume ingredient costs, regulations (such as IFRA) on allergens or chemical toxicities, company buyouts, corporate greed, and may not smell the same as what you remember. These reformulations are not always disclosed to the public so it is not a record of fact if you will or easy to find info on. That being said many collectors in forums, online groups talk about batch variation and reformulations if you search the perfume name with either of those after it. Packaging and bottle changes are often clues that there has been a reformulation, but not always.Descriptions: The descriptions and notes provided on our website or listings are intended to give you an idea of the fragrance profile and character oof each perfume. However, personal interpretations and experiences may vary. We cannot guarantee that a particular perfume will meet your specific preferences or expectations.
