Fragrance fortune goes foul
I’vre, the high-end fragrance subscription service, has ceased operations following a slew of customer complaints over erroneous charges and unfulfilled orders, ultimately leading to a police inquiry.
Amid the chaos, co-founder Christian Kwok insists all remaining orders and refunds have been processed.

However, some disgruntled customers claim they’re still awaiting repayments from the beleaguered company.

The once-promising startup found itself grappling with internal turmoil, including staff shortages that Kwok describes as causing a “messy” situation. Previous reports also revealed unpaid employee salaries and potential investor conflicts.
Despite claims of an acquisition by an unnamed entity, I’vre’s abrupt shutdown leaves a trail of unanswered questions and dissatisfied customers in its wake, serving as a cautionary tale in Singapore’s dynamic startup landscape.
