Terms of Use

Guidelines for using the Hollow, participating in Exchanges, and interacting with the collector community.

1. The Hollow at a Glance

Perfumer’s Hollow is an independent platform for fragrance collectors, reviewers, and enthusiasts — a place to discover scents, share impressions, and connect with other members of the community.

Collectors may list fragrances, decants, and samples through the Exchange, but all arrangements are handled directly between users.

Perfumer’s Hollow does not process payments, verify authenticity, or mediate disputes. We provide the meeting place — the exchange itself belongs to the collectors involved.

2. Exchange and Listings

All Exchanges are conducted at the participating collectors’ own discretion and risk.

Counterfeit fragrances are strictly prohibited.

Decants and split fragrances are permitted when accurately described and represented as authentic.

Fraudulent activity, misrepresentation, or attempts to exchange stolen goods may result in permanent account removal and possible reporting to relevant authorities.

Listings should accurately reflect bottle condition, fill level, vintage status, and presentation.

3. ACCOUNTS AND COMMUNITY CONDUCT

A paid membership is required to participate in Exchanges, reviews, discussions, and collector features. Browsing the Archive and Houses remains publicly accessible.

Members are expected to interact respectfully and responsibly. Harassment, spam, illegal activity, and unrelated political or religious debates are prohibited.

Perfumer’s Hollow exists to support fragrance discussion and collector discovery. Treat fellow collectors with the same respect you would expect in a trusted boutique or private fragrance gathering.

4. REVIEWS AND NOTES

Members may submit reviews, notes, and fragrance impressions to support discovery across the Hollow.

Contributions may be moderated to ensure relevance, fairness, and community quality standards. Perfumer’s Hollow reserves the right to remove content that violates these guidelines.

By submitting content, you grant Perfumer’s Hollow a non-exclusive license to display your contributions within the platform and related community features. Ownership of your content remains yours.

5. NO GUARANTEES

Perfumer’s Hollow is provided “as is” without guarantees of uninterrupted availability or feature permanence.

Features, tools, and services may change, be suspended, or be removed at any time.

6. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Perfumer’s Hollow and its operators are not responsible for disputes, losses, damages, or outcomes related to user Exchanges, listings, or communications.

All Exchange arrangements are made directly between collectors.

7. PRIVACY POLICY

Perfumer’s Hollow respects your privacy and handles account information responsibly.
