What You Can Submit to Sell

If you have a bottle sitting unworn on the shelf, it may have a place in someone else's rotation. Selling through Fragrance Box begins with a short submission, and the more honest and complete that submission is, the smoother everything downstream becomes. Here is what tends to belong in our marketplace, and how to present a bottle so it can be assessed fairly.

What suits the marketplace

Fragrance Box is built on two concentrations, Eau de Parfum (EDP) and Extrait de Parfum, with Extrait as the highest tier. Submissions that fit that shelf are the most natural match, whether the bottle is nearly full or gently used. A scent from an established designer or niche house, still recognizable and in wearable condition, is exactly the kind of thing our sellers submit.

Two submission methods exist, and you choose the one that fits what you have:

• The full bottle. You send the actual bottle, whatever its fill level.
• A vial. You decant and send a sample rather than the whole bottle.

Condition is not a pass or fail gate so much as context. A half-filled bottle is still worth submitting; you simply note the fill honestly so the assessment reflects reality. What matters most is that the details you provide match what arrives.

The details worth gathering

The submission wizard walks you through a few groups of facts. Having them ready before you start makes the whole thing quick.

• Bottle facts. The brand, the fragrance name, the concentration (EDP or Extrait), the size, and roughly how full the bottle is.
• Provenance. The production year if you know it, and whether you still have the box, any papers, or the original receipt. A batch code, if the bottle carries one, goes here too.

One honest note on batch codes. A batch code can hint at roughly when a bottle was made, which is useful for gauging age, but it is not proof of authenticity. Counterfeiters copy real codes, and a code that decodes cleanly proves nothing on its own. Include it because it is helpful context, not because it settles the question of whether a bottle is genuine. Authenticity comes from sourcing and inspection, which is precisely why the bottle is checked after it arrives.

How photos carry a submission

Photos do a lot of quiet work. They let the bottle be understood before it ships, and they set expectations on both sides so there are no surprises when the package is opened.

Aim for clear, well-lit images that show:

• The front of the bottle and its label, readable and in focus.
• The fill level, so the amount of liquid is obvious at a glance.
• The box, papers, or receipt if you have them, since provenance supports the bottle.
• Any batch code stamp, and any wear, marks, or damage shown plainly rather than hidden.

Good photographs are not about flattering angles. They are about an accurate first impression. A submission that shows a bottle honestly, fill and flaws included, moves faster than one that leaves questions to be answered later.

After you submit

Once your submission is in, Fragrance Box responds with an offer or a counter offer. If you accept, you ship the bottle in, and payment follows after it arrives and is checked. Every submission has a private status page so you can see exactly where things stand at each stage, from quoted through received to paid. Any quote or payout figure varies by bottle and is shown on your live submission, so we never quote a number here.

You can start a submission whenever you are ready at /sell.
