“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.

I have a monthly subscription with them and that they have no problem getting sent out to you on time. But they push for you to try their candles and to purchase additional scents and items(obviously they want you to spend money duh).
But when I went a purchased additional perfumes to try it took over 3weeks for them to even ship the order. They send you a tracking number when you subscription orders are shipped. Unfortunately it took me having to contact them multiple times to even get a word back about why it was taking so long. Ivan Korsikov finally got back to me and had to check into why it was taking so long. He stated they had an issue with restock and although they try to keep an accurate inventory this time they fell short of that. He said he'd follow up with a tracking number the moment it becomes available. 4 days later I've had to email them again and I was able to get Zahir to send me a tracking number. They said to allow 7-10 business days for shipping. It'll be over a month since I've ordered my fragrances by the time I receive them. Stick to monthly but I don't suggest doing any additional orders from them, they don't seem to be able to keep up with their orders.

I like how as soon as I use up the perfume a new one is already here just in time I also like being able to pick out what scent I want and not a choice of theirs.

I used to be subscribed a few years ago but I canceled because of finances, wasn't really using the perfumes I had since I was staying inside most of '20-'21. There just wasn't a point. But I got a promo deal to sign back up for a good price so I said what the hey, why not? Boy was I surprised when I saw the new packaging.
My first time with Scentbird, they had these nice, sleek metal cases that you put the vial in and they fit snuggly and they twisted up nicely to use. Most importantly, they didn't feel like they would break. I don't know when the packaging changed to these horribly cheap 2 piece magnetic cases that pop apart if you look at them wrong but wow I hate them. They don't feel like something I'm supposed to keep, like I should be taking the vial out and tossing the plastic. The vial rattles around in the case and since I'm kind of clumsy, I've knocked them over a few times and I'm always worried they're going to break since they pop open and the vial hits the ground.
Since the price of the subscription went up since I had them and the packaging had one of the worst downgrades I have ever seen, I had to quit again. I'm sure it's a cost cutting measure to do plastic instead of metal but it really cheapens the whole package. I'd consider going back if they brought back the nice metal packaging. It looked so much nicer.

Hi Rose, so sorry you didn't like our new atomizers! We totally understand that this change may be frustrating but we will take this as feedback and pass it to the Team. Since we launched in 2014, we have had the same packaging. And while we still love it, we felt a little facelift was in order. Thus, the new look and feel of the new Scentbird. We're working on every point customers have raised regarding the atomizers: cases are being improved to be more durable, with stronger magnets and higher quality; spritzers are being improved to be more functional as well. We want to thank you for your patience with us during the process!

I ordered Prada L'homme L'eau and it had a $15 upcharge on top of the $15+ they charge monthly. I was under the impression that the scent was "premium" just like they had advertised it to be but IT IS $105 AT MACYS! I found way cheaper as well. Not only is there an upcharge, its not a $5 or $10 upcharge, they thought this scent is worth a whopping $15 extra dollars. I paid for a third of the 3.4 oz bottle and am receiving less than a 10th (. 27 oz). I have ordered many times through both scentbird and scentbox and I am DEFINITELY never recommending scentbird, especially when there are amazing sites like scentbox that actually price their fragrances decently. 0/10 DO NOT GET SCAMMED!

Hi Trent, sorry to hear about the negative impression of our service that you have. Some premium items do require an upcharge from $5 to $15 to the regular subscription cost. But rest assured that to be transparent with our customers, the upcharge is visible and flagged when adding a premium product to your queue so that there’s no confusion. The upcharge also appears on a product's description page. But we always appreciate customers' feedback and we'll make sure to forward it to our Team. If you have any other questions or suggestions, feel free to contact us via socialsupport@scentbird.com, we're here to help!

Scentbird is great I love to concept I love being able to get a multitude of fragrances but what I don't like is not knowing when they're going to get here they're supposed to ship on the 5th of every month I supposed to receive it by the 15th it never happens it gets here whenever it gets here and I wish they would be more consistent with that but other than that the fragrances are good and the inventory is vast

Hi Marcques, thank you for your honest review. I am really pleased to hear that you enjoy trying our fragrances out. As a subscription-based company, we have to operate on a fixed schedule which bills on the 5th of each month. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. As noted on our website, recurring subscribers can expect their package to leave our fulfillment center 10 business days after billing (please add shipping time from here). Rest assured that we're working on improving our shipping times and will certainly use your feedback to better our service. Kindly email us at socialsupport@scentbird.com if you have any questions or concerned. Thank you for sharing your experience, I'll definitely pass it on to the team.

Hi Michael, we apologize unreservedly for the July 2020 data breach and the inconvenience that it has caused you. Kindly note that we emailed every customer the next day it happened (on July 29th, 2020). This was a sophisticated attack on multiple companies, but rest assured we have invested heavily to ensure that this never happens again. We have already added another layer of security for customer authentication on our backend. We are also currently working with a security team to see how else we can enhance our system safety. Should you have any further questions or concerns please send us an email at socialsupport@scentbird.com. Keep safe!

Someone I met at my wedding a few months back thought it would be nice to get me a 3 month subscription to scentbird. A service that offers members the opportunity to try new colognes by either picking one or accepting the companies selection. Sounds good however in my case I travel a lot for work so I was bombarded with emails asking me to activate my membership. What they dont clarify is activating the membership and starts the clock ticking till your first selection ships. So now the next thing I know Im getting tracking information for my first selection. Didnt pick it but they sent one- strike one. Contacted scentbird, asked if they could freeze my membership because Im traveling for the next 3 months (Im writing this review from my hotel room in China) and got NO RESPONSE. I took the time to go into the post office and have them return any mail for me to the sender so I dont have pkg left outside my home to let people know house is empty. This business for me is a complete waste and customer service is non-existent so I say for all of women who think this would be a good present for a man in life it absolutely isnt and dont bother. The only thing worse then Scentbird is the Art of Shaving- Avoid Both!

Hi Cindy, rest assured that we always send out replacements for defective/broken/leaking fragrances. In case if you're interested in replacements and/or wish to cancel your subscription, you can always contact us via support@scentbird.com.

This is my first time leaving a bad review for ANYTHING in the world! I am not a negative person and I always like to give people chances, but my experience has been highly unacceptable! I started scentbird with high hopes, and for starters, everything was fine! The fragrances were great, the price was acceptable (18$), and it came on time. BUT THEN CAME THE NEXT MONTH, and let me tell you... This was the worst shopping experience I have had in a long time. This month, I now pay 35$ and I tried contacting them (btw this company has no phone number which is really weird) by email and... once again was stunned. They ignored my questions about the price and told me basically to unsubscribe, but they didn't give me my money back when I unsubscribed. PLUS unsubscribing is really hard, and they try to trick you into 'taking a break' which stops your subscription for a month or two or three depending on your choice. This means that your subscription will recommence once those months are over. So... overall rating... WORST. CUSTOMER. SERVICE. EVER.

Tip for consumers:
Be careful of the price!

Hi Bianca, please accept our deepest apologies for taking too long to get back to you. This time of the year tends to get very busy even for the nimblest of birds! It looks like our automatic bot provided you with a cancelation instruction. Kindly note that subscription cancelation doesn't automatically cancel the processing order. Please make sure any changes to your account, including the cancelation, are submitted at least one (1) day prior to your scheduled billing date. This ensures the changes apply to the upcoming month and not the next. Oh no.our cancellation process isn't meant to be tedious or difficult. We do ask our subscribers why they wish to cancel their subscriptions, only to see if there is anything we could rectify. You can email support@scentbird.com & we’ll be glad to help out & assist you further!
