Gold Star Fragrances, Inc.

The Best Perfume Discovery I’ve Made in Years!! I was introduced to Gold Star Fragrances by a coworker who knew I’ve been on the hunt for a more affordable version of a high-end perfume I love. I adore the notes of the original, but I haven’t been able to find anything truly comparable without paying a premium, even with online dupe retailers. From the moment I walked in, the experience exceeded my expectations. I was immediately greeted by a friendly, knowledgeable woman behind the counter who explained how everything works. Within minutes, she brought out their version of my favorite perfume, and it smelled exactly the same! I was genuinely blown away. They have a huge selection of beautiful bottles to choose from, and once I picked one, she custom-created the fragrance for me on the spot. I also grabbed a roll-on version, which I love for travel. What would normally cost me well over $200 ended up being around $30, and it truly looks, feels, and smells like the original. Even better, I was able to support a local, family-owned business. The people working here are absolutely lovely, the location is great, and the quality and pricing are unmatched. They even ship, so I already know where I’ll be getting holiday gifts for family and friends this year. I can’t recommend Gold Star Fragrances enough—it really doesn’t get better than this.

As a true perfume lover (and a very particular one!), I am always searching for unique, layered, sometimes nostalgic scents. I can immediately detect overly synthetic notes, so quality matters tremendously to me. That’s exactly why I’ve been purchasing all of my fragrances from Gold Star Fragrances for years. They carry everything you could possibly want — from Tom Ford and Frederic Malle to Le Labo, Diptyque, Byredo, and all the classics like Chanel, Dior, and Dolce & Gabbana. It truly is one-stop shopping for fragrance lovers. What sets Gold Star apart is the quality and craftsmanship of their interpretations — they capture the essence and depth of the originals beautifully, without that harsh synthetic finish that so many others have. The prices are fantastic, and the value is unbeatable. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and kind. Ask for Angela, Ben, or Sonia — they genuinely listen and guide you based on your preferences. I highly recommend trying a roll-on bottle, and if you’re unsure, start with a smaller size so you can live with the scent before committing. Their website is very informative, but there’s nothing like visiting in person when you’re deciding on something as personal as fragrance. If you love perfume and appreciate quality, Gold Star Fragrances is the place. 💫

Best fragrance discovery In person: I originally walked in having no idea what to expect. They do have a sign asking to limit to 4 oils per visit but Ben was so accommodating when I had no idea what I wanted when they didn't have the niche fragrances I was looking for. A few things to keep in mind: you will get nose blindness so quickly from just walking in so have an idea of what you're looking for from their website. I bought a couple of oils after Ben helped me try too many after I thought I couldn't smell anything. You can ask for different bottles (roller balls $ vs spray $$). They do add some fragrance alcohol into the spray to make it better to atomize. It is a little more expensive but I would recommend getting the spray. I bought 2 fragrances (inspo gypsy water & oud satin MFK) then walked out. Not even an hour later, the oil (le labo) i had on my hand that I swore didn't smell like anything was SO pungent i couldn't eat with that hand. I immediately placed 2 orders online after seeing how well the oils last and project. The oils do take a little to really warm up on skin so don't discount it until after an hour or so! Online: I placed 2 more orders online immediately. While it does take significantly longer to ship and a little more expensive, they do have a pretty extensive catalog online. I made a few requests for future oils to carry so fingers crossed they have stock updates!! Customer service is fantastic and respond SUPER quickly. The oils I have do vary in terms of projection and longevity but overall for the price, its SO worth it and compared to other oil brands they package everything very well too. Will be a lifelong customer!

I found Gold Star Fragrances after searching extensively for other sites that make dupe fragrance oils. I had used another company that recently stopped making the CK Be scent, and to be honest, the last time I ordered from that company it wasn't very good. I tend to be very picky especially with my scents. I decided to try Gold Star, and I am so thrilled that I did! Not only do they offer CK Be, but it was perfect (actually think it's better than the actual CK Be lol)! I ordered some other scents from them that were just so so, but still not bad. The Pure Grace was very nice! Customer service is amazing!! Angela at Gold Star has just been so helpful and incredibly responsive! I just placed another order for more CK Be and new scents and I can't wait to see how they are. Overall, I am just thrilled to have found them. If you've been looking for a quality dupe site, I highly recommend them!

Outstanding experience ordering online! Processing for shipping was a bit delayed, but they shipped overnight when it was ready and added a little extra as well! Response-time was PHENOMENAL, anytime I had a question or sent an email, I was getting a response in MINUTES. Plus, the fragrance I ordered smelled great! Will definitely order again! After my order arrived, Angela was SO quick to answer my questions. Great service all around!

I’ve shopped with Gold Star Fragrance twice—once in person and once online—after finding them on TikTok, and both experiences were amazing. In-store, the employee gave great recommendations based on what we were looking for. We were pretty indecisive, but she was incredibly patient and helpful the whole time. The fragrance oils we purchased are long-lasting, and some of them have very strong, rich scents (in the best way). They’re also super affordable, which makes them even more worth it. They’re definitely worth the hype. My online order did arrive with a bit of leakage (possibly due to the winter storms), but the store responded almost immediately and fixed the situation without any hassle. Their customer service is excellent, and I would highly recommend getting your fragrance oils from here. I especially love the 1 oz roll-ons for on-the-go use and travel. These make great birthday, Valentine’s Day, or personal gifts too!

I ordered their ode to my favorite fragrance, a very large bottle of oil. It's spot on. I might even like it better. Took a little while to show up, but it's all good. Completely on their own they upgraded the shipping to light speed and threw in a little complimentary fragrance for the wait. Very satisfied. These folks are great.

I found this place on google with great reviews and I have to say this spot did not disappoint. They have a wide range of fragrances to choose from and sizes. Very high quality products and great prices. Definitely will be back and definitely recommend this place. Ben was very nice and helpful!

What stood out to me most was how well-crafted the fragrance was. I picked up their Orphéon-inspired scent out of curiosity, and it ended up being one of those rare finds that stay with you. The opening is clean and understated, and the way it settles on skin feels intentional--smooth transitions, balanced notes, and a wear that lasts throughout the day without ever becoming overwhelming. There's a quiet elegance to it, the kind of scent you reach for without thinking because it just works. I've found myself choosing this more often than the original it's based on. There's something about the way it develops--close to the skin, steady, and grounded--that feels genuinely well done. Angela was patient, kind, and clearly understood the fragrances she introduced. The whole experience felt calm and welcoming. I'll definitely be back to explore more.

I've been shopping here for perfume oils for 2 years. The selection is uber huge and the customer service is superb! The oils are extremely close to the actual brands. I keep coming back and never disappointed. I come with a list and they always recommend other fragrances along the lines of new or similar to my requested. They are the real deal!

MY OPINION Customer service needs better training. Maybe I went on the wrong day, Sales girl was not in the mood. Yet I still spent $$$$. I had all of my selections written down. To begin with They were out of stock 1/2 of the list. Mind you I can already confirmed the stock availability. Yet I still purchased. I was looking forward to stopping by. But the vibe must have ruined even the oils, Had to use the oils for popurrí / home diffusers. DONT WASTE YOUR $$$ and Time. Purchased Eladaria ,Carmina, Chloe 8oz. They were not similar in my opinion.

I really enjoyed my experience here. The staff is super helpful and will invest the time for you to find your perfect scents. They have a wide variety and imitations of your fav name brands that's smell pretty accurate! Plus the rollers are a great price and will last a veryyyyyyy long time. I purchased 3 scents and love them all! I get compliments all the time. They're long lasting as well.

When I tell you that Angela and everyone else at Goldstar on the day I visited gave impeccable Service.... 10/10... They went above and beyond, Angela also offered an amazing restaurant for dinner for my friends and I to try! Location - Convenient Service- Impeccable Quality- Oils are so potent and long lasting. The inspired by fragrances are spot on for the real thing. They had almost every scent I was looking for. These oils smell great under my fragrances. Helps the scent stay with you longer throughout the day. I went a little crazy and got so many oils lol a few of my favorites; Bond No.9 Tribeca, Ysl's Black Opium, Creed Love in White , Le Labo's Another 13 and many more. I suggest browsing on their website before going in the event you'd like a bit more than what you're specifically going there for.

A friend of mine introduced me to Gold Star and I have been going back ever since, more than 10 years. Like people mention here, their oils last the entire day. Ladies, if you want to get an oil for your partner or someone special, get Carlos Santana for Men. I always get great compliments from it.

First time came to the place! Absolutely loved it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. The staff were really nice and helpful. They have everything. If you're looking for a fragrance that's cheaper but still smell close to the original one then come to this place. Thank you!!

Absolutely so worth it! I cannot wait to buy more!! I smelled so good all night long and didn't need to reapply!

I loved the energy of this shop! It's a family business where everyone is ready to help, and they have an EXTENSIVE dupe scent collection that smells incredibly close to the original scents. Angela explained so much to me, and I know that I'll definitely be back. Very affordable, as well!

I found them on TikTok and have gone back 4X since. The staff is super helpful, Angela (I think that was her name - daughter of the owners) was knowledgeable and friendly. The perfumes I bought I know really well and can attest they're extremely accurate. There was only one that wasn't quite right which I didn't buy. The rollers are perfect gifts. Thank you!

I moved away from Manhattan, so I don't go in person anymore. Recently, I am buying these replications based on smelling the original fragrance in high-end department stores. The Gold Star "dupe" of Musk Ravageur, for example, is incredibly close to the Frederic Malle original. $12 vs. several hundred! I'll go with Gold Star! This way I get to have champagne on my beer budget. Great place with terrific products. Give them a try. You won't be sorry.

So I went back! And of course I was made to put my foot in my mouth. I came earlier as I had the morning off. I was greeted and helped with oils and fragrances. With suggestions that I really liked, she took her time and gave me tips and tricks. Very helpful and kind! Make sure you give them a visit you will not be disappointed!

Today's gonna be my third time returning to Gold Star. Always a nice experience, I usually like to smell as much as possible before I start getting lightheaded LOL and everyone is so nice and patient. Got free samples the last two times I went, love it!

Helpful & kind workers! Love their fragrances so much, very strong & lasts so long on my skin! I always recommend their shop to my friends

Great experience!!! You'll find everything you need here at reasonable prices. If you're ever in New York, put this place on ur list !!!

Been going here for over 14 years. Owners are very sweet. Nice family run business. Every person that I or family have encountered, have always gone above and beyond.

I had purchased some fragrance oils online and received them a few days ago. It's very difficult to find anything that will last and is pure oil but these are amazing quality. They smell amazing and will last all day. I had a full work day yesterday and still was getting compliments on it even at the end of the day. Will be recommending and buying more!

This family owned business provides the best customer service! Not to mention, the product is amazing and fairly priced. :)

So happy with my order! Love that these fragrances are alcohol-free-- they are non-irritating and last a long time! Plus I love supporting a family business in the city.

Gold star has a large variety of perfume products and oils. Angela was friendly and helpful in making recommendations.

I've purchased 5 perfumes from them already and every one of them is just so luxurious and so nice! The workers there are so welcoming and patient as you try each perfume. I definitely recommend knowing what you want and going there to smell it because otherwise, you'll be overwhelmed with how massive their collection is. My favorite thing is the pretty bottles they have too! Layering this with regular alcohol based perfumes makes you smell amazing for days! I smell the oils in my hair days after too! So perfect!

PROS 1. Friendly services. 2. Clean and Organized INTERIOR. Very Important. 3. Quality Oils.

Had the best experience picking out different scents with Angela! She was super helpful and got us all each scent we wanted to smell! Overall a wonderful time & VERY affordable prices! Would recommend for your next day out with the girlies!

The fragrances are amazing. The service is impeccable. Smooth and efficient delivery of your order.

Ships quickly. Products well packed Great quality products, well priced. I have purchased here twice. Give nice freebies too.

If you're searching for unique fragrances, you should definitely take a look at Gold Star Fragrances! My ex-husband (I know, tea) and I always used to visit this place whenever we were in New York. They have a website, and let me tell you, we couldn't resist ordering from there! Angela is amazing and really knows her oils. I could talk to her for hours about the latest fragrances!

Excellent business! Good thing I don't live up north! I would be spending my money daily! They have the best fragrance oils and at an affordable price. Love their packaging too! I tend to make my purchases on TikTok shop. Angela is amazing! Highly recommend this business!!

AMAZING place!!! Amazing inventory, super kind staff (loved working with Angela, and everyone working with her is super nice too), and amazing prices!!! Come with a few scents in mind and the staff is so attentive and will help you find something you love at an excellent price point.

Great store for fragrances, stopped by and was amazed at the selection of fragrances. Angela helped me picked out some scents for my family, very fairly priced and smelled just as good if not better as the originals. Definitely stop by, you'll be welcomed greatly!

Amazing quality, all the fragrances I've gotten last really long. The staff is also very helpful in finding your perfect scent and super insightful! 100% recommend

so worth it!! so many fragrances to choose from and truly quality product. love!! I had an amazing experience when I had questions and they are really helpful and kind. love lost cherry and they have so many new ones I can't wait to try!!!

Scent profile of oils is good but strength leaves to be desired. Would prefer paying double the price for half the quantity but higher concentration. Will look elsewhere for stronger oils.

I have been a satisfied customer for more than 10 years, and even after I moved away from NYC. They have a staggering selection, great prices, are always cordial, professional - and ship quickly. I have referred many folks and will continue to do so. I am always satisfied. At any given time I have at least a couple dozen fragrances on my bathroom counter.

Terrible customer service. I simply requested that my fragrance oils not be diluted with carrier oils, instead of having an adult conversation, the owner got into her feelings, and refused to ship my order after stating she was offended that I implied that the company dilutes oils. Other owners would have come correctly and had an open conversation about the authenticity of their products and would have not let their emotions stop a business transaction. I would have been happy to do business with her if she simply just met my request with a, "we don't dilute our oils." However, she assumed I was accusing her and refused to sell me the products I requested. Terrible owner. Immaturity at its finest. Terrible customer service. Next time have the maturity to have an adult conversation for the sake of your business. If a simple request is all it takes for you to withhold products from customers, being in charge of a business cannot be for you.

I recently ordered multiple bottles of perfume and they were packaged wonderfully, arrived very fast, Ben from Goldstar was very helpful and recommended a wonderful smelling cologne to me since the one I got was out of stock. The oils all smell great, and they threw in some free samples. These guys are great!

This place has been My Oil fragrance soot since I was 18 yrs old,now I'm 47 so imagine... The service is Mom and Pop style service. The energy there is calming and so invigorating that you don't want to leave.. please take a trip here and get the best oils, soaps, chewing sticks plus many many more items at GOLD STAR fragrances

absolutely love the cologne I got for my boyfriend :) the quality of the bottle is amazing and the scent lasts all day!

I was a customer of for about 16 years. Had an excellent business selling their Fragrances. The scents were AWESOME..... quality superb ...smelled better than what one purchases in the Department Store. They were exquisite. My last order in 2016 was not up to par. I called and spoke with Sonia ....told her I was sending the Fragrances back. I could not sell that quality for my price. She told me, "if you send it back we can not sell to you anymore." I was shocked..... destroyed my business. A couple weeks ago I recommended a friend to them .....they ordered.....sent be a sample. All I can say is..... AWFUL, AWFUL, AWFUL!!!!! I will never, ever recommend them again.

Been buying from them for years. I always buy Polo, JPG, Grey Flannel, and Lagerfeld. The smell is long lasting. Going there tomorrow.

I have been buying from Goldstar for many years. I was introduced to the store by co-workers. I was amazed at how authentic and long lasting the oils/fragrances were. BUT. The last few months of purchases of oils have been extremely disappointing. The longevity of the fragrances now and I will speak specifics-Dolce and Gabbana-ladies type-is barely recognizable in the bottle but almost non existent within 30 minutes. I spoke to the proprieter about the fragrances being extremely light and not lasting beyond 30 minutes. To his credit, he did open several more samples of oils of the same fragrance, but those were also light in duration. Since Goldstar fragrances are not sustainable , I will no longer buy there anymore. So sorry about that but why waste my money.

Some of the oils were okay but some lacked smell like the amber white. I can't smell it

Terrible quality. I bought a 1oz Roja Elysium dupe oil for $10. It smells like Elysium for the first 10min then it's gone. Very poor longevity with zero projection. Go to Exotic fragrances in Harlem or Madina Industrial in Brooklyn.

I love their products and so do my customers. Long lasting and very authentic fragrances. I was introduced by a relative and I wouldn't go anywhere else. The customer service is always polite and helpful. I'd recommend this store to anyone.

I am truly surprised no one has reviewed this establishment prior to me! I love their fragranced body oils because they smell spot on to the real deal and the quality of their products far surpasses the competition. I used to go to a well known establishment in Brooklyn but I found their oils tend to go rancid after a while. Not the case here, I recently found a bottle of my favorite fragrance (Cashmere Mist Liquid Nude) in some luggage that I had stored after about two years and it still smelled like the day I bought it. Great family run business, service with a smile.

awesome place. i never fail to find a new scent for every season. whether i am in the mood for a strong or light scent, gold star always delivers. Mike is great at figuring out what scent your looking for when the label on your bottle has worn off!!!! i was shocked that he was able to do that but so happy that i was able to repurchase that scent!
