Authentication, built into every order.

Every bottle ships to Olfex first. We inspect authenticity signals, condition, and fill level before it reaches the buyer.

  • Seller ships to Olfex before the buyer receives it
  • Olfex checks authenticity signals, condition, and fill level
  • Buyer is protected if the item fails review

Most orders are authenticated within 1–3 business days after arrival.

The Olfex Standard

We do not rely on seller claims alone. Every bottle sold through Olfex is first received by us, checked against the listing, and reviewed for observable authenticity signals, condition, packaging, and fill level before it ships to the buyer. One consistent standard helps buyers trust what they receive and gives sellers a safer way to sell.

What "Authenticated" means on Olfex

  • Listing matches the item received
  • Condition and presentation match the listing
  • Fill level is verified against the listed category
  • Observable authenticity signals pass our checklist

How Authentication Works

01

Listing review

Seller-submitted listings are reviewed before going live.

02

Listing created with photo standards

Listings require clear photos, condition details, and fill-level category.

03

Buyer purchases

Buyer completes checkout securely. The order is then routed through Olfex for verification before delivery.

04

Seller ships to Olfex

Seller ships the bottle to Olfex using a tracked service.

05

Inbound inspection

We check the bottle, atomizer, cap, packaging, and overall condition against the listing.

06

Authenticity signal review

Batch code, label alignment, fonts, bottle presentation, and other observable signals are checked against known references.

07

Fill level verification

Fill level is verified to match the listed category.

08

Repack and ship to buyer

If the item passes review, Olfex repacks it and ships it to the buyer.

Typical Olfex processing time after arrival: 1–3 business days.
