Frequently asked questions

What is Dziwne Wody?

Dziwne Wody is a Polish online perfumery (dziwnewody.xyz) that discovers and imports niche fragrances not available in drugstores or from mainstream distributors to Poland. It sells 1ml samples and full bottles.

Does Dziwne Wody produce its own perfumes?

No. Dziwne Wody curates and imports fragrances from existing niche perfume houses around the world. The exception is POLLUTION, a separate Dziwne Wody sub-brand that creates its own experimental compositions.

How do POLLUTION and Dziwne Wody differ?

Dziwne Wody curates and sources existing fragrances from around the world. POLLUTION is a sub-brand that creates its own original, experimental fragrances. Editions are irregular, and sold-out editions never return.

Can I buy fragrance samples only?

Yes. 1ml samples are available individually or in sets (Sample Bundle) — they allow you to test the scent before purchasing a full bottle.

What is ODDECH?

ODDECH is a monthly fragrance subscription from Dziwne Wody – each month a new edition of samples in unique packaging, with a limited time to sign up.

How much does delivery in Poland cost?

InPost parcel locker delivery costs PLN 14.99 and InPost courier PLN 18.99. Orders of PLN 200 or more ship for free. If your cart contains only ODDECH, parcel locker delivery costs PLN 9.99.

Do you ship outside Poland?

Yes, to most European countries. Within the European Union we usually ship with DPD, and outside the EU with Poczta Polska (Polish Post). Delivery to a pickup point costs PLN 70, and to your address PLN 95. Shipping to Switzerland and Iceland costs PLN 200. There is no free shipping threshold for international orders.

We ship international parcels by land only. Outside the EU, customs duties and taxes may apply and are paid by the recipient.

How long do processing and delivery take?
