how long does it take for a review to get approved
It varies depending on our workload. At the moment, the wait is about 1 - 2 weeks.
Basenotes Plus members are able to have their reviews posted immediately.
How can I write a review on the Basenotes directory?
Make sure you are logged in at the Community, and then use the Fragrance Directory to find the fragrance you wish to review. You can then click on 'add your review' and submit your review for all to read.

Can I edit my reviews?
Yes. Regular members can edit their review 3 times. Supporting members can edit their reviews ten times.

If you would like them removed, please contact us and we will try and remove them as soon as we can
