“I found my supplier”

Rovivans S.
6/6/24

Before, I was used to buying perfumes only when I travelled, thinking that duty-free shops had the best offers. Now, I realise that Scentbird is the best store for perfume or cologne. They have regular promotions and offers that you can really get a nice perfume at a bargain price. I have bought it already a couple of times, one for myself, and few as gifts. The quality is good and I am satisfied with it. They have wide range of options, and the website is quite good too, so you can easily explore the products online. I recommend!

“DKNY- BE DELICIOUS”

I wasn't happy with this perfume. The scent was very strong for my liking. I like fruity scents and fresh and clean scents but this one was too empowering. I did not like the scent. This one was not for me.

Still waiting for two orders (outside of my subscription). I send emails, but they only send me a canned response of "check your tracking page". They charged me, but never processed or sent anything out, so it's not on my tracking page. I've cancelled my subscription, but I'm out $40 due to missing orders. It's very frustrating. I DO NOT recommend this company.

Signed up with scentbird at the end of last year. Thought it be great. Since I signed up, seems like every other day I get an email saying they have to change the order of my queue, because the fragrances I picked are out of stock. Then I wanted to upgrade to receiving 2 a month instead of 1, so I go online and change it, as soon as I clicked on it they withdrew the money. No where does it say that they will pull the money the moment you agree to upgrade. I had just paid for the month a few days before. I feel they should make it clear that you will be charged as soon as you upgrade. I also feel they should find a way to have enough of a certain product before listing it as an option. You get excited for the one you picked and it is very disappointing when they tell you it is no longer available. No sure I will be staying with them. Going to see how the next month or so goes then will decide.

Hi Deborah. I'm sorry to hear about your unpleasant experience. You're right, some of our items get sold out very quickly, but we do our best to restock them in a timely manner. Due to the current situation, it might be harder to restock some of the items you're looking to try. Kindly note that information about the instant charge is available on the checkout page. This is done in order to make sure that the upgrade goes through successfully, and you receive all of the items you paid for. Sorry if it wasn't clear. If you have any outstanding questions, please email us at socialsupport@scentbird.com. Thank you!

I love everything about this company. Great scents for great prices. You get the chance to smell great and options to let your friends in on free scents with you. For sure a outstanding company. They ship fast so you never really go without. And the packaging is always so durable. I like have a variety of scents on hand because each day is a new one

Being able to try designer fragrances that I wouldn't go splurge for every month is a game changer. I have learned about new fragrances that I ever would have otherwise and really broadened the type of scents that I will wear also. It's simple and a no brainer!

The cute cases are very nice, I have six different colors which makes it easy to tell my fragrances apart at a glance and the colors are fun!

I also recently tried their lip balm. Also top quality. Try it out, you'll definitely love it.

It takes to long to process then ship, my payment goes in on the payment day then the package arrives 10 days later! I wish they would be more proactive or have a lock in feature a week before payment so that the process could get done faster or something of the sort. The little bottles for the subscription doesnt last doesnt last long enough for when the next bottle/bottles to come in.

Tip for consumers:
Please be aware of the shipping and processing time, and also if you need any help reach out to support most of them are amazing and love to talk which is very nice and refreshing from other companies. I've only gotten one robotic response from a person that worked there

Hi Christian, we're glad that overall you're enjoying the experience you have with Scentbird! :) Because we ship in batches, offer free shipping, customize each order according to the scent you’ve selected, & because our vials are considered Hazardous Materials, it takes up to 5 business days to deliver them. We're working on improving the length of time it takes to receive your order though ❤️ Kindly note that in case if you need to receive fragrances faster, we also offer a la carte orders that get shipped out to you within 2-3 business days. We say it’s a month’s worth as each Scentbird-sized vial has been trialed to hold 120 sprays minimum, which is enough for 4 sprays per day for 30 days. If 4 sprays aren’t enough, though, we do offer 2 or 3 perfumes per month as well! ❤️ If you have further questions, don't hesitate to contact us at socialsupport@scentbird.com. We're always happy to help :)

The processing of the items takes an entire month, so by the time it gets to you, it's time to decide on something else. Also, offering a "skip this month" feature would help out a lot. The cologne only lasts about 3 weeks if you do 2 sprays a day, so that should give you an idea of how much is in the bottles. Overall, wouldn't recommend to someone.

Hi Tyler, thank you for your feedback. To skip up to 3 months, simply hover over your name while signed in and select the 'Manage Subscription' tab, the 'Skip a month' button is located in the middle of the page. Our vials have been trialed to last for 120-140 sprays, which should be enough for at least 4 sprays per day for 30 days. But, I'll definitely pass your feedback on to the rest of the team team. Kindly note that recurring subscribers can expect their package to leave our fulfillment center 10 business days after billing on the 5th of each month (please add shipping time from here). We do aim to deliver all orders by the end of each month so that you can enjoy your new scent starting from the first day of the following month. Feel free to email us at socialsupport@scentbird.com if you have any questions. Thank you for your patience! ❤️

I would never recommend this company due to it's lack of customer service. I emailed them to stop my subscription and not to send me anymore perfume, they answered and acknowledged that but a month later, I got notice that my shipment was on it's way and they charged my PayPal. They are sending me a deletion that I don't know because I never selected anything. There is no phone number and they do not answer any email that I have been sending to support.

It is a great way to explore different companies before you decide to spend on full size products. They have a large collection of products to choose from. Overall their system to recommend products to you is spot on you will be able to find something that you are sure to enjoy.

Love love love the selection of niche and designer perfume. You can really explore a lot of higher end perfumes without paying exorbitant prices. I also love being able to manage via an app. The ONLY thing I would change is the inability to exchange perfume if you don't like it.

I select products, they send an entirely different product that smells horrible and honestly had me worried it would not wash off. The next month they charge me double and send me a vile of knock off product. If you have ever bought fragrance from a swap meet or a liquor store you would recognize the smell of a bootleg product like they sent me. The multi stage cancelation process that takes several days tells me they don't make there money off the quality of the product they provide. If you know anyone in the fragrance industry point them at these fruadsters. LOL

Tip for consumers:
Don't do business with these guys. You want bootleg stuff, hit the swap meet and get gallons of this stuff for 50 bucks.

Paper was sent to me instead of what I ordered. and the bootleg in photo.

Hi there, sorry to hear about the negative impression of our service that you have :( Rest assured that we are always determined to send out fragrances that you added to your queue. In case if for some reason an error was made and you received something that you didn't choose, we're always here to fix the error and send you a free replacement with the correct item! But you can be certain that all of the products that we offer are 100% authentic. We do not alter the scents in any way. Scentbird simply repackages the fragrances into our signature packaging so that we can offer our monthly service, but this should not affect the fragrance or the staying power of the fragrance. Authenticity is something that we take very seriously! In case if you have any questions regarding your billing, our Team is always open to discussing your charges and breaking them down for you. And at last, our cancellation process is in no way meant to be tedious or difficult. We do ask our subscribers why they wish to cancel their subscription, only to see if there is anything about their experience that caused them to cancel that we can rectify. For that, you can email us at support@scentbird.com, DM us through Instagram or PM us through Facebook. Our Customer Experience Team is ready to discuss your queries with you! Thank you ahead!

Scentbird is an amazing way to explore all of my " me's"! One day flirty the next serious at work then finish off for date night. With Scentbird I have my very own mini variety of scents I'll be in the mood for. Also the employees@ Scentbird I am so grateful. I had moved my scents were lost but I didnt have to worry.

First off customer service was great. My order was sent to an old address and they sent it out again to my new address. Fast forward to end of January, I received an order but the site is still saying processing. Unfortunately, I dropped my purse and it shattered so I want be mad if that "processing" order ships again. Just saying. They send orders at the end of the month and it took weeks to receive my first order

I have been a customer with Scentbird for years. They sent me a defective product this month. I have written into support 3 times now (no customer service ph #) and I am told that they cannot find my account, then they ignore me. They ripped me off and will not resolve the issue. Do not use this service, they are crooks.

I've used Scentbird for over 3 years now, but I think I'm going to probably cancel. I do the two vial subscription and both vials usually each last a month. They have great scents, but there are always shipping issues. Even years prior to Covid-19. They charge me at the same time each month and then because of "shipping delays" I receive my cologne a month later. This happens almost every month. By the time I receive my cologne I'm being charged again for the next month.

Signed up in September 2020 and receive 3 perfumes a month. Excellent service only had one purfume that was not what I expected and did not like. Have had quite a few perfume choices become unavailable which was a little bit disappointing. But overall a very good experience and have found some new perfume favorites to add to my collection.

Tip for consumers:
Check the description and the ingredients list on every perfume order. I have made mistakes on perfumes that have pepper in the perfume, I do not care for that ingredient in the perfume or maybe it was too strong with that ingredient.

I started using this company a little over 3 months ago and let me tell you it has been an amazing experience to me.The website is so easy to use and the best part about them is that they break down every bottle on their site, tell you the ingredients and the notes and if it is a date kind of sent or a warm & cozy scent. They truly thought of everything putting this site together and you pick what scent you want for what month and if you want a guy scent for one month then that's OK too. I love that and customer service is absolutely great. I love how you can put in your own review of how you liked the scent to help others see if that is the scent for them. Never had any Credit card issues or shipping issues. I truly love scent bird and the best part the scent last all month long great value for the price :)

Terrible customer service, and once you cancel they still try to be sneaky and keep charging your account. And OF COURSE they don't have a customer service phone line. So you can only email them and they never respond. I will literally never use their service again. Im have just recently reported them as well.
