I have just shopped at Little Collins St Melbourne store and wanted to give feedback on Lachie, who was an absolute delight. His product knowledge was exceptional, as was his service and friendly manner. 10/10 for Lachie. Show details
I ordered the chakra balancing aromatherapy pulse point, roller ball and it was delivered very quickly (yesterday) well wrapped and I love the product. The smell is very pretty and it lasts all day long. I’m very pleased that it’s natural and doesn’t contain chemicals. Just waiting to hear what my chakras say…LOL.
Customer Care from Prefect Potion – I have been using Perfect Potion for over 10 years. Recently I have purchased a bottle of 1Lt Chamomile Shampoo. I have started to purchase the 1LT size of shampoo since they came out and it always come with a pump. The shipment I have received today does not come with any pump. This is not the first time a product used to come with pump and… Read more
suddenly changed to no pump. Also this is not a refill pack, it is an actual bottle of shampoo. If your company decided not to supply the pump anymore, please remind your customer there is no pump with the item. How would you expect your customer to pour the shampoo out every time with a 1lt bottle. In addition, I don't think the costing of the pump is an arm and a leg; therefore do not understand the reason of taking the pump away. Over the past years, I can see the company has been growing but the customer service has not been improved much from your headquarter. I usually goes to the QVB store and I also been to Bondi Junction and Newtown store which has closed down after Covid. Most of the store staffs are good and have no complaints about their customer service. It's the Brisbane headquarter which I had not very pleasant experience all the time. ( Mind you I only contacted them a few times over all these years) Understand including a pump or not is a small thing; however it's also shows how much your company care for your customer and their needs.

High quality oils that smell divine – My local Perfect Potion store has closed down (I think COVID-19 was the cause), but there are still three Sydney stores in which to sniff and sample the products! (QVB, Bondi Junction, Warringah Mall) It is a crying shame that this company is not more widely recognised. Perfect Potion's essential oils are vastly superior to those of competitors… Read more
with booming online stores. It's a case of the 'emperor's new clothes'. The poor reviews for the oils from these online stores are buried, while the positive reviews are revered by all ('sheep' mentality). However, there is no truth to these reviews, something I realised after falling for the hype and buying up big (even bought a little box for the oils!). I deeply regret not spending this money at Perfect Potion where the oils last twice as long due to their potency and quality. I will never buy inferior oils again. Perfect Potion's essential oils are carefully sourced and the blends are beautifully formulated. Most of the cheap and nasty oils from one get-rich-quick competitor in particular actually make me feel ill when diffusing them. They are supposed to be pure but reek for some reason. I am using the citrus oils to clean my tile floors and toilet (no joke!). Don't waste money on the rest, when Perfect potion is clearly the best! I have learnt the hard way - you most definitely get what you pay for when it comes to essential oils. Please use some discernment and don't fall for the hype of mass-produced oils from thriving online stores.
Positive reviews
Almost Perfect – Long time buyer. Their Soothe Cleansing Gel is the best cleanser I’ve ever used, but their face creams don't suit my face at all. I hope they bring back the complete range of Turkish Moon or add some more variety to their body washes/lotions range though.
Frankincense & rose moisture cream – I have been using Frankincense & Rose moisture cream for 2 years & really loving it. The scent first thing in the morning is my aroma therapy for the day. Uplifting & positive. The cream is rich & suits my skin really well even though normally l have sensitive skin to strong scented products. Only problem is this product seems to have been… Read more · 1
discontinued. PLEASE PLEASE bring it back, l have tried sooo many others in the last few months & really could do with the wonderful aromatherapy lift in this time of Covid!
Love this shop and these products – I have used a lot of various essential oils and products and have to say that Perfect Potion are some of my favourite. They are reasonably priced and great quality. I’ve also always been totally satisfied with the service I’ve received over the years. Show details
Negative reviews
They've changed their formula for the worse – Their calendula cream used to be a rich, thick cream that healed cuts and dry skin in three days max. I recently bought a new jar to take away with us on holidays. Cut my fingers in a manicure and opened the jar to find a watered-down version that no longer heals. Despite applying it four times a day, my skin went from being a little cracked to… Read more
bleeding. On returning home, I applied the old jar (which is far thicker) and overnight the skin started healing and was totally healed in two days. It smells the same but is no longer the same product. Very sad as there was nothing on the market like it. I contacted customer service 10 days ago and no one responded.
Hello Lisa, we are sorry to hear about your… Read more
Beware - this business does not follow Australian Consumer Law – I purchased a faulty diffuser from Perfect Potion and they have refused to refund it. The shop assistant at the Chermside branch told me that my wanting to return the product because it only worked intermittently, counted as me changing my mind. She said that they would not refund a change of mind. She kept the product and refused the refund. I… Read more
have contacted the ACCC and disputed the charge with my bank. I am perplexed that they would be so unhelpful to a customer who wanted to continue to spend money at their store, and actually get a more expensive and more reliable diffuser. Bizarre experience today and my many years of using their products ends today.
So disappointed – I loved this store, range and staff and have been a loyal customer buying across their product range for many years. Going back to ask for an exchange on a product that is unopened that my husband bought yesterday by mistake and they tell me no exchanges. Thats actually against consumer law as I understand it. The staff were rude and unhelpful… Read more
and I felt really badly treated. Now I get it, they just SELL stuff, they dont care about their customers or their members and I for one will not be going back. Head office did help out in the end, but it was all so unnecessarily unpleasant!

Great quality products and service – I have been using this product for 3 years now. All the oils are great and genuine organic as per label. Service is always good ! Recommend for chakra Oil blend ! The only critics maybe the price for essential oils is bit expensive, due to hard process perhaps. Show details · 1
Thank you Hannah and the area manager in that day I came – So I want to start my review regarding the negative comments about the refund and exchange policy. These are classed as consumable products which means that cannot refund or exchange any products that are oils. They should be able to accept an unopened unused diffuser. Now, my experience in the Chermside location. I was looking for an essential… Read more
oil that smells like twilight from lush. As lush don't make oils.
Hannah was amazing, extremely helpful and didn't mind all the questions I asked and tried to help match some singular oils together to find the right mixture. I ended up with cosmic which I put on at home to relax and sleep. I will be going back.
Lost a loyal customer – I bought the replenish night balm. The second ingredient is cera alba (beeswax) which actually feels terrible on the skin. After a week of using it the skin on my face and neck is completely dried out and damaged. Not sure what skin type the balm is formulated for but a nourishing overnight moisturiser for mature skin it ain't.. Over the years I… Read more
have been a very loyal customer to PP. Buying almost everything for myself and my family from shampoo, moisturisers and deodorants from them. But shoddy products like this expensive "night balm" and these recent price hikes (their deodorants nearly doubled in price after recent repackaging) have totally lost me. Someone who spruiked PP for many years. I'm now sourcing my products elsewhere.

I’m in love with perfect potion – Everything organic smells good on my skin and hair. I’m impressed with everything perfect potion. I will be adding additional products to my skin care to replace another brand later. Products with good value and reasonable prices to keep me healthy. Thank you for looking after me. Show details
100% would recommend if you want good quality oils – The staff were so helpful and friendly, you don’t feel like you’re bothering them if you take a good amount of time having a look. I’m more that happy with the oils I purchased. Show details
Terrible policy and customer service – Terrible store policy! My boyfriend got me these diffusers pack for Christmas from perfect potion in QVB and he didn’t realize that I am allergic to some of the senses aka tea tree oil. So we went in there trying to refund the unopened products and the SAs refused to give a refund and didn’t offer to do the exchange for a store credit either. All… Read more
they said was it’s a store policy. I have been to many stores around the world and many of them inform their customers when purchasing that there’s no refund or exchange but this is not the horrible part. The most horrible part was that the SAs pretty much told me that I had to open one of the products that contains tea tree oil which I am allergic to and put it on myself and see if I get allergic reaction so then I can go back to the store and show them my rashes to get the store refund wow. I even repeated that to the SAs and with their straight face....they said “yes unfortunately it’s a store policy”
Customer Service – The biggest downfall for this business is a lack of customer service in terms of exchanges. I received a gift pack which contained an ingredient I am allergic to. No exchanges allowed. For this reason I wouldn't purchase anything else no matter how good their products are.
First timer to perfect potion – Walking into the Melbourne central store feeling like a product change . In my 30s and feeling a bit glum ! Decided to start with the cleanser then I was hooked . Have the whole range now and feeling super fresh and hydrated , and so easy to use . Also I love the fact that you get a discount when purchasing a certain number of products .
No exchange – I purchased an aromatherapy diffuser which the salesperson wrapped as a gift. Less than half an hour later I returned to the store as I discovered that the person I had purchased for already had a diffuser. I asked to exchange the diffuser for oils and was told there was no refund for health and safety reasons! The diffuser was still wrapped! I… Read more
will not be shopping at Perfect Potion again given such a rigid application of the no refund policy. I fail to see what healthy and safety issues could apply in this case.
Always friendly. Great products – I've shopped at Perfect Potion for years and the West End staff are always so welcoming and helpful. The integrity and ethos of this company (they sponsor the Festival of Tibet, have products made by Palestinian communities and support the Koala Foundatio ) along with their exceptional products and service keep me coming back. I have sensitive… Read more
skin and use their tinted moisturiser everyday. I also love their double cream body moisturiser and rose hand cream. I use their breathing space room spray, lavender spray and breathe easy oil in the humidifier for my son. They have a range of great gift packs also, including mum and bubs gift packs. Some of their products can be expensive but you get quality natural and organic ingredients.
Active Massage Oil – My partner and I love this product. It spreads nicely and if you are generous at the beginning you don't have to re-apply. 100ml bottle has been great for my 4 weeks of travel. There is only one bad thing, my Partner is asking for a massage from me every day. Can you sell this product with a professional masseuse please! Hahahaha Thanks for making us happy Sal
Great experience – I have oily and sensitive skin and after a free facial bought some products they recommended. My skin has massively improved since then. Everytime I go there the staff have being lovely at Albert st store and indoorpilly store

Great experience – I bought items for my daughter from the carindale store I found all the staff to be very friendly especially the manager she served me a very lovely lady and professional thank you for being so helpful is very happy with the items that I purchased for her as a Christmas present great store keep up the good work great store keep up the good work
Terrible, unfriendly staff – I was unaware that products couldn’t be exchanged or refunded. Staff was great yesterday. I changed my mind because wasn’t a good present for an allergic person. Today i went back and the staff was unfriendly when I wanted my refund. Unable to help and inexperienced to do it on the system. Midi the sales woman ask my to talk to the head offices so they may help here Seriously??
Go else where – After searching online and thinking this store would look after me. I was deeply surprised to find that the staff were not friendly and did not want to assist or help. I was bitterly disappointed after spending 200 dollars of my hard earned cash to not be treated somewhat better. I will never buy here again and will tell every single friend of mine to never purchase here. This company quite simply does not care.
No refund or exchange – I bought a few bags of herbal tea for my grandma yesterday and she doesn’t like the smell of it. I exchanged the remaining unopened bag but they said no exchange or refund. It’s only 1 day from yesterday to today, still no exchange. Not good at all. Bad experience.
No refund policy – I purchased a gift set for someone for Christmas, tried to return it a week later, I hadn't even taken it out of the bag. The clerk couldn't make a decision and had to call someone. This person decided over the phone, that I could not return the set.
Always Good – Always love going to Melbourne Central for the service and products. Love the products and use it very often and I'm impressed and I'm not disappointed with the products.
Aromatherapy MASSAGE and facial using Perfect Potion natural organic oils and cremes at the PP Bondi – If you are after a total mind, body, spirit self-care indulgence to revive, rejuvenate or simply re-focus on your health and wellbeing you must try an aromatherapy massage with Masayo the professional therapist at the Bondi Treatment Room. Every minute was a total joy of scent and steam infusions ,using quality oils and warm woody environment. … Read more
It offes an ultra luxurious setting using high-quality luxury products, towels and brushes direct to the face and body. The spa room is immaculate, hygienic and professional. I was lifted to another dimension by the exquisite quality of ylang ylang oils and massage techniques of the professional masseuse. They offered relaxational music, warm herbal PP chakra tea before the massage and advice on different needs that came up during the discussions on health and wellbeing. I think every woman deserves a treat like this. It was the best massage i have ever had in Australia xx Thank you Perfect Potion and Masayo.
Beautiful gentle products - in LOVE! – Perfect potion are a beautiful range of natural aromatherapy products, which have helped me create a more natural approach to my skin, hair and beauty care. I am especially I love with the lavender pillow spray and the Eros decoderant. Thank you for my lovely products!
Great service – The young girl at Indooroopilly was so helpful not pushy at all and had a wealth of knowledge across all the products Was very impressed with our first visit will be back
AMAZING! SOS spot treatment – I have had pesky, angry and painful chin pimples for the past 12 months, tried everything, was becoming very disheartened and my self esteem on the appearance front was beginning to dwindle. After 1 day using this product I could see results. After 1 week my skin was transformed. I have NEVER used a product as good. I also never recommend beauty… Read more
products but cannot keep this magic to myself. Don't waste your time and money using what they sell at the supermarket or chemist. Thank you to the helpful sorceress' at Perfect Potion for putting me onto this.
Thank you Amy!!!!! – Went into the shop at indooroopilly and was expecting to be treated the same way I have been at any Myers/David Jones/Beauty Spa (treated like a sale) but NOT AT ALL! Amy is the store manager and she is AMAZING!! So passionate and knowledgeable about all products!! Wonderful beauty therapist who made my day!!
Absolutely love the Chakra blend products! Anyone I've gifted the spray, or balm to over the years have been fond of them as well.
love this product! – Lovely shampoo without any chemicals. Makes my hair soft and shiny and easy to manage, good value and lasts a long time.
