ALT. FragrancesReviews of altfragrances.com

As of today I still have NOT received my Crystal fragrance from my very first order. I have emailed countless times and every time I get a different ALT support agent responding stating that they have made the correction just to receive a duplicate fragrance of something I already ordered. Numerous times I have explained the same scenario over and over and submitted the photos. I have not received my corrected order yet... I have been more than inconvenienced and now frustrated. I love perfume and I am a mom on a budget. This is the one thing that I spend on myself and look how frustrating it is.

I felt it was mord floral and not sweet enough like the original

your shipping or handling or both are trash. it takes literally a 2 week turn around time from "FL" to NJ so it's either you suck at shipping or your handling time is trash. please use Amazon as the standard of shipping and handling

It dis not last long the fragrance when I put it on in the morning and before my work ends in afternoon.. the smells fade.

Shipped fast perfume smells amazing but my spray nozzle broke within a week so I'm annoyed I have a presume I can't spray

The fragrance smells great but it doesn't last long.

First off I wanted to begin by saying that I think that most reviews here are very subjective and only focus on the bad experience without giving any context. I, therefore, wanted to write a more explanatory review because I'm guessing people are curious about ALT just like I was before ordering. I'll try to keep the review as short as possible, but this review is for people who want to know "everything". I was introduced to ALT, like most people, through the internet and influencers. I am a perfume enthusiast and have a fairly good collection and understanding of scents. ALT offered me a bundle of 3 perfumes by choice for 100$. Pretty fair if you ask me. I ordered Crystal (Baccarat 440), Executive (Creed Aventus), and F'n fantastic (F'fabulous Tom Ford). I'll talk about every perfume and then I'll go more in-depth with my experience with ordering from ALT. Crystal: Smells pretty good. The opening is a bit harsh for the first minutes (alcohol smell) but once it dries down it smells very pleasant. I was however disappointed by the performance, and personally, I haven't got more than 5 hours with some form of a projection from this. But this is "OK" given the fact that the perfume only costs 33$, and you can solve the problem by re-applying. Smells fairly feminine, but there is some underlying musk that makes the perfume leans toward the manly side. An Ok perfume. Executive: Probably the best out of the 3 perfumes I ordered. Beast longevity (lasts 12+ hours for me). I really loved everything about this one. It also had a slightly harsh opening in the first minute, but MAN when this harsh opening disappeared it was gold. Strong opening with notes of pineapple, wood and leather, and has an underlying smell of "aftershave" or "men's shampoo". This is a STEAL for the price. I would say it's a "statement" fragrance and pretty bold, so it is not for everyone. But if you're looking for a Creed Aventus smell, this is for you. Wonderful. F'n fantastic: Very pleasent smell, and I'd say it is a solid fragrance, but its not my type of scent. Has notes of vanilla, tobacco and leather. The perfume is sweet, but not in a overpowering way. Again great perfume for the price. Has a similar problem as Crystal with performance, but what can you expect for the price? Would definitely recommend this perfume for men who are into vanilla and tobacco scents, and wants to smell unique. However I would not say that many would choose this as their "go to" or "signature". Now I'll move onto my personal experience with buying from ALT (excluding the perfumes). Positives: Received the package. Smells fairly ok for the price. Pure perfume oil (Extrait) (not EDT or EDP), which makes the perfumes smell unique. I see a lot of people complaining about the smell from the perfume, and this might be because they are not used to pure perfume oil scents, and not necessarily because the perfumes are bad. It's positive that the perfumes aren't watered down. Ok bottle. Design is simple but not horrendous. Glass bottles with a cap that works. It seems to me that ALT focused more on the scent than the design, and I don't mind the design given the price. Working tracking number that's updated. Got useful help from customer service within short timeframe. There are probably better options for "clone" perfumes but ALT is fairly good given the price your paying. In the middle: Bottle design is kind of cheap. Label in paper and Im not a fan of the atomizer, but it does WORK well. I wouldn't say that a high end design on the bottles can be expected because of the price, and they are Ok given the circumstances. Could be better however. Bad: Longevity could be better on Crystal and F'n fant. Bad shipping. Waited 30 days for my order to arrive. ALT seriously needs to reconsider a new shipping courier, given the long waiting time. I've read that the shipping is the main problem people have with ALT, and for me it was no different. I did not experience any problems without the long waiting time, but this should be improved. Given the fact that the perfumes takes so long to arrive, the perfumes most likely lies in temperature changing conditions constantly. Im pretty sure that this effected especially Crystal that has notes that are more sensitive to temperature changes. All perfumes are sensitive to temperature changes when we're talking storage. If a perfume is constantly exposed to changing temperatures it will effect the quality of the perfume badly. Im sure that if the shipping would be faster, the perfumes would smell better than how they arrived. Even though I ordered a protecting packaging for my perfumes, it was sent in a normal envelope packaging. This is pretty lousy. You should get what you ordered, and it was lucky that the perfumes did not suffer any damages. Positive, however could be alo better.
