“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 just found out, they milked me out with a double charge on my Paypal account and on my bank account, which is linked to their account. I was under the impression they were charging me only through my bank account, and little did I know that was being charged through PayPal, which makes no sense. I'm going to process legally if they don't pay every cent they stole from both accounts. Some of their scents are original (that's what I think) but they sent you repeated cheaps scents, usually the ones, I believed, are declined by retailers. IT'S IS A SCAM to the T. Plus, they rob you silly. I wish that I could have rated the company with minus rather than plus stars. Scentbird doesn't deserve anything!

Tip for consumers:
Don't let this scammer milk you out as they did with me!!!!!!. THIEVES!!!!!!!

I read up on this service and decided to become a member. I sighed up and did not receive my item for a month. Meanwhile they were already trying to take money from my card two weeks after I sign for the next month. I tried to contact them with no help. No the way to do business. No at all happy with the service I received.

They deliver exactly what they offer. I have now tried many different colognes and found several that I really like. I would have never found these great scents otherwise. This is the perfect size to experiment and see if you really like a scent before committing to a full size bottle.

I really enjoy my ScentBird perfume subscription! I enjoy selecting my own perfumes in the beautiful app, and my perfume always arrives in the mail in tact and on time. I also love to test out niche brands!
A couple suggestions:
-it'd be nice to see the age of the person reviewing the perfume in the app
-if I could have additional purchases in Cart sent in my monthly prescription instead of separate shipping cost, I'd start buying more 1.5ml samples

Before I subscribed I really didn't know anything about colones and different smell profiles or even I what I liked,but after a while of testing out different smells and such,it definitely helped me figure out not just what I like to smell like,but also a verity of different scents of occasions and just new brands to look into and maybe save up for.for the price it really is worth it and even if you ever cancel you at least have some good scents to live off of until you explore yourself :)

I'm a single mom and don't make a lot of money. I don't often buy things for myself but when it comes to perfume, I tend to splurge a little. With Scentbird I don't have to splurge anymore, I get new scents sent to my home every month, at a price I can afford. Perfume is something that makes me feel good about myself and I love that Scentbird can help me with that.

Awesome way to save money but still get quality colognes and perfumes. I didn't want to spend tons of money on a retail bottle of cologne and be stuck with it if I didn't like it. Scentbird allows me to try colognes and if I like them I can order a 30-day supply for the next month. Overall highly recommend it!

I honestly thought that this was a fabulous idea. I was immediately in. So to speak. I originally chose to be billed on a monthly basis, so should I decide that I wanted out, there would be no issue. Having done so without my knowledge, Scentbird decided to go ahead and bill me for the remainder of the year. Not only was this a problem for me, it was literally 4 weeks before I actually received my first scent. Furthermore, I received a defective item, and requested a replacement. I was told to provide an image of the above mentioned item before they were willing to move forward. I advised that they should be aware of the item that I had received due to the fact that they sent it. Never mind that. No resolution until I provided a photo. Therefore I took a picture of and emailed them. After due process, and several days of waiting the item was replaced. I'm definitely not completely satisfied with the system they use as well as their sales pitch. The pitch does not match the service.

Tip for consumers:
That I would be billed annually even though I chose monthly

Hi Laney, so sorry to hear about your experience. Kindly note that we cannot upgrade our customers on our side without their consent. A customer has to manually go through all the upgrade steps in order to upgrade the account to a new plan and pay for the upgraded plan. In case if you upgraded your subscription by mistake, our Team will gladly downgrade your plan and refund the upgrade charge. Please note that we require photos from all customers reporting damaged items. This is for quality control as we forward all photos to our fulfillment center so that we can continue to improve our products, report any possible defect trends, etc. Photos also show us exactly which fragrances or items need to be replaced, as customers might have multiple items within one order shipment. A greater number of messages have been sent to us recently, and our team has been working hard to respond to each one as quickly as we can. So, we're glad that you were assisted by our Team and the replacement is on the way. Let us know if there is anything else that we could assist you with at the moment, and we'll gladly do so! Thanks!

I received my first two orders but haven't received anything since October. They have taken my money EVERY month but no product... Then they sent me an email telling me to update my billing info. No, thank you. You don't deliver on your end, you won't get another dime from me. Extremely disappointed...

I'm a big fan of this subscription service. I enjoy having an array of scents to choose from in my collection however I often tire of them after a couple months. Scentbird offers a fair priced subscription for 8ML vials and have an incredible selection to choose from, both man and women scents. I highly recommend to anyone that has no need for larger, often over priced bottles of cologne and or perfume and prefers to switch up their scents!

I place my first order in August 2018. Here it is October and I finally got my first order! Everything on scentbird says that with your first order you also get a free refillable case, I did not get that. So Not only was my order two months late but I also did not get all of the order that I was supposed to get. I've been in contact several times with the company asking for a refund, asking for an explanation, asking for help with no response. I have gotten nowhere and I'm beyond infuriated with this whole process. I would highly encourage you to steer clear of this company and I have since cancelled my subscription.

Oh no, Jessica! Please email us at socialsupport@scentbird.com and we'll be sure to make this better for you. To be honest, we have been experiencing shipping delays that have caused a few packages to ship later than others. However, this does not excuse the timeliness or lack thereof for your orders.

When I first subscribe to Scentbird I did not know the joy I would have in the different fragrances that they have sent to me, which has been just phenomenal. I've always been the type of woman that love smelling good, who wouldn't want to. Continue to send those wonderful sweet smells to me and please cater more to the Sweet smells for me. Thank you so much scent bird

I received at the same time my first two months of this subscription. I love Scentbird and the perfumes I have selected: Wisteria Blue and Light Blue. I also really like the presentation and packaging, I will undoubtedly continue to try new perfumes. However I do not understand how they fail to not include the name of the perfume brand on the package. If I'm going to have 12 or 20 equal capsules, in this case the same color, how will I identify which one is which? At least they should add a sticker with the name of the brand to stick it to the jar, or a band to at least have where to write it. What do you do, the ones that have many Scentbird fragrances, to identify the jars? A lot of fragrance will be wasted if you decide to go spraying each one until you find the one you are looking for.

Hi there, thank you so much for leaving us a 5-star review! :) We're so happy that you love the fragrances and our packaging! Apologies for the confusion caused as all of our fragrance vials have the brand name on it (black label with the brand & fragrance name in white font). However, our colored fragrance case is not meant to be labeled as the purpose of it is for customers to take out the empty fragrance vial and place the new one in :) Feel free to send us a message at socialsupport@scentbird.com if you need any help!

I love the scents of the month, I have yet had a bad experience with the company. And they have great customer service. I would highly recommend using them for anything I needed for gifts. My family enjoys the gift and when they say they say they will replace something they will. Not only that they have good timing for shipment.

Thank you for everything

I found I could never commit to buying perfume for so much money at the department stores not knowing if I was going like the smell to wear often. With scent bird it not a lot of money I won't be upset if I don't love the product. Like being surprised each month. I have received any I didn't like, I wouldn't say I loved all but the ones I do I will buy full size without hesitating.

I decided to try Scentbird and subscribed, you can't see what fragrances they offer until you subscribe, after getting to look, they didn't have any fragrances I wanted to try so I immediately contacted them to cancel. They agreed to cancel and then just sent some random test tube of cheap cologne I didn't pick instead of refunding the $9.15 first charge like they should have.

Tip for consumers:
Don’t recommend

Joined over a week ago, was suckered on with all there ads like most others were. First order still hasn't shipped been over a week, there website says would take no more then a few days. Over a week my status stays at" Processing" and does not move from that. I wrote to company and got the same generic useless reply as all the other unsatisfied customers, "were sorry, our warehouse moved and we're behind". Duh, really, why not say that on your website( Maybe because they feel if there honest, nobody would join. May be a good company once they get it together, right now it's a total mess, you've been warned.
