Why I Tried Ownly Club in the First Place
I believe the ultimate self-care is gifting yourself something from your wishlist, whether it’s a special occasion or just another surviving Tuesday. And nothing says everyday luxury like premium skincare or a designer fragrance.
But I’ll be honest with you, shopping for luxury brands online makes me nervous. There are two reasons.
- The fear of counterfeits. Nobody wants to pay luxury prices for a fake.
- No one to guide me. Online, you don’t get the layered experience of a luxury store.
The second one matters a lot to me. My sense of smell is very sensitive, so the fragrances I like can be quite different from what everyone else picks. I buy one fragrance a year, and it becomes my fragrance of the year. Choosing one online, with no help, is exactly what had stopped me from buying perfume online in India.
So when I heard about Ownly Club, a platform that promises and guarantees original luxury products and a real way to help, I had to try it.
What I Ordered
- Product: The Giorgio Armani SI Intense EDP
- Price I paid: ₹10,400 versus over 11 thousand rupees in the site’s global price comparison
- Payment: Prepaid mode
So, if I am looking for gifts for myself, or gifts for family, I need a reliable company which stocks genuine luxury and high-end products and can provide an experience in line with what I am buying , with seamless processing and making my life easier. That is where OWNLY CLUB comes into the picture.
After diving headfirst into Ownly Club and scrolling through almost the entire site, I am happy to share my review.
With the Ownly Club, I had access to an assistant going through the decision process with me. More details below, but the help I got here was perfect for deciding whether what I had in mind was right for me.
SO now you know the kind of things I had in mind before exploring the Ownly Club - the fear of the authenticity of the products and the usual absence of help in selecting a fragrance, which I believe was completely and effortlessly tackled by Ownly Club.
What instantly won me over is their obsession with authenticity. I found out they put every single product through a rigid 100-point physical and olfactory authentication check. When my package arrived, it even came with a physical QR Certificate of Authenticity. And it is not only perfumes that have the Certificate of Authenticity, but it is all of the items listed across the Ownly Club platform.
Let's get started with the review -
The Digital Shopping experience -
On the Website and on the WhatsApp platform.
The website itself gives you assurance of the quality and the genuine authenticity of the products as soon as you land on it because of the messaging that Ownly Club has across the website.
They start by saying they can certify what's in the bottle, but they cannot certify what happens next, which is a little funny and very relatable and helps you connect with the brand humanly, in this day and age of digital disconnection. This is what I loved about the site
- The minimal design and easy-to-browse-through catalogue.
- Very clear details of each and every product and the suitability that it has for different skin types, different occasions, and different palettes.
- The global price comparison that is provided with each of the products because they work to list with global luxury brands. It gives a very transparent view of how a product is priced in India on average as compared to their pricing, which I love as a consumer.
- The bold claim that they are ready to take your product back as a return within 15 days if it's Not genuine, which essentially emboldens their claim of providing genuine, authentic luxury items to you
and my favourite is the "Find Your Match" feature that they provide, which essentially is sort of like a concierge service (wherein you can work with them or the assistant that they provide to find what you're looking for).Whether it's for yourself, as a gift for your spouse, gift for your siblings, or gift for family.
The Ownly Club WhatsApp platform - Click here to start experiencing first-hand - It's awesome! Let me tell you why -
On the WhatsApp platform, you can start talking and share what you are not or are looking for, and the 5-star hotel concierge service is available right away at your fingertips.
You can start the SNAP.ASK.SHOP. Journey from the website, or from any individual product that you are already looking at and place the order directly from WhatsApp. In the headline, I say Luxury Brands only a message away - This is exactly what I mean.
Your entire shopping journey can start and finish on WhatsApp. You spot something you'd like to have, click a picture, share it with them and place an order! 1, 2, 3 done! Their shopping assistant is very well trained in the products listed and available on Ownly Club and helps you find the right pick, without trying to oversell or overbear!
Are Ownly Club products Original?
This is the big question, so let’s go through it.
Ownly Club says every product goes through a 100-point physical and olfactory authentication check. When my order arrived, it came with a QR Certificate of Authenticity. And it’s not just perfumes: every item on the platform gets one.
So, is Ownly Club legit? 100% Yes!
The brands you’ll find on Ownly Club
Ownly Club features a mind-blowing brand list with over 618 global names.
As a beauty and fragrance lover, I was thrilled to find legacy designer houses like Chanel, Dior, and Tom Ford sharing space with viral, hard-to-find Middle Eastern perfumes from Lattafa and Afnan. But like I mentioned, they didn't stop at scents. I can attest to their incredible skincare lineup, which features holy-grail brands like Olaplex, Clinique, and Estee Lauder. I was most thrilled to spot Sisley skincare products alongside my go-to Korean skincare must-haves, which are very difficult to find in India!!
That is not all! They have luxury bags and watches as well, which is what I have my eye on next.
Their catalogue is truly impressive and worth a browse to check if they carry what you are seeking!
And like any luxury house , they also have live Auctions!
BONUS: Ownly Club offers Cash on Delivery as well on most of their products, alongside free shipping in India!
Ownly Club, the website or the WhatsApp platform, is literally a one-stop shop to buy authentic perfumes, designer bags or luxury skincare and makeup online in India, especially Delhi NCR, with the amazing same-day delivery option, alongside your daily essentials to stay fabulous.
Plus, for the rest of India, their shipping is incredibly fast; I received my products packed well and delivered safely within 4 days
Delivery and Unboxing experience -
I love this part! Because this is the part where I get to actually experience what I went through while placing the order, and since Ownly Club is essentially a luxury company or a platform, I expected the whole unboxing experience to pack a punch. It was a lovely experience unboxing everything; my order was safely packaged and closed with a lovely bow on top. It still didn't fully reflect the sophisticated experience I had till placing the order. The box got dented in a lot of places, but my products were absolutely safe and sound!!
I say products because they were kind enough to include a FULL SIZE Calvin Klein soap as a sample with the perfume I had ordered!
That was something I was anticipating! I always get loads of sample perfumes and other items when I buy from the stores and was waiting to see what I get, and any little gap that was left in the unboxing was filled with the gifts, so I was at last pretty happy with the unboxing!
- Authenticity checks and a QR certificate on every item
- A WhatsApp concierge that helps without pushing
- Transparent global price comparison - This is amazing when making a decision
- COD, free shipping, and a 15-day return promise upon authenticity doubts!
- A huge range of authentic luxury brands, including rare finds like Sisley!
