Full analysis
Overview
The website is a South African online retailer selling branded perfumes, testers, miniatures, gift sets, cosmetics, apparel, and related products directly to consumers through an ecommerce storefront.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
No contradictions, phishing indicators, brand-impersonation signals, or confirmed blacklist findings were observed. The homepage presents a coherent retail model with product catalogues, pricing, delivery terms, returns, secure checkout, authenticity claims, customer reviews, and account functionality; the content is consistent with ordinary ecommerce rather than a deceptive financial or credential-harvesting operation.
- External reputation checks recorded no malicious or suspicious detections, no blacklist finding, and zero abuse reports for the observed infrastructure.
- The homepage is identified as an established ecommerce page with no red flags and no suspected brand impersonation.
- The domain was registered in 2011 and is approximately 14.76 years old.
- The site has 390 archive snapshots spanning 2012–2026, covering 15 tracked years.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The site operates as a consumer ecommerce retailer rather than presenting a regulated financial service. The supplied evidence does not establish a financial license or license number, so applicable consumer-commerce registration, seller identity, returns, and payment obligations remain matters for ordinary due diligence; this is a transparency consideration, not an identity contradiction. The recorded registrant organization is Treschic, and no conflicting legal identities were observed.
- Registered through Afrihost; creation date: 2011-10-31T12:55:02Z; expiry date: 2026-10-31T12:55:02Z.
- Hosted on AS13335, CLOUDFLARENET — Cloudflare, Inc., US.
- TLS certificate issued by WE1 using DV validation, valid to 2026-10-22T20:18:25+00:00.
- The homepage provides delivery, returns, checkout, authenticity, and customer-service information.
What to Verify Next
Before a material commercial relationship, confirm the seller’s current business details and applicable consumer-commerce standing through independent records, and retain the published returns and delivery terms for transaction support. Payment methods and order confirmations should be reconciled with the retailer’s stated customer-service channels.
- The homepage states free door-to-door delivery for orders over R900 and a seven-day return policy.
- The homepage displays customer-service contact details and account registration functionality.
- The checkout presentation is marked as encrypted and secure.
Summary Verdict
The website presents as a legitimate, established, and trustworthy ecommerce business with a coherent operating model, sustained historical presence, clean external reputation, and no observed contradiction. Normal interaction, including account login and standard purchasing, is appropriate.
Infrastructure Integrity
The website is protected by Cloudflare CDN/WAF infrastructure and resolves to Cloudflare edge servers on AS13335; the origin server was not observable in this analysis. This reduces direct origin exposure and is a mitigating infrastructure characteristic, but does not independently prove legitimacy.
Closing Assessment
Standard browsing, account use, and consumer transactions are appropriate, with ordinary retention of order records and review of the retailer’s published commercial terms.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about myperfumeshop.co.za at assessment time. It is a starting point for your own judgement, not a guarantee: a high score means the signals were consistent with a legitimately operated site, a low or critical score means several risk patterns were present.
TrustSniffer assesses a website from the evidence it can collect at a point in time: domain registration and age, hosting and certificate, the content the site served, and third-party reputation feeds. A score is a summary of that evidence, not a guarantee and not a legal finding. There is no human rating and no user review in it. A site can change after it is assessed.
