“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!

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.

Three weeks since I've ordered and it still hasn't been shipped according to their tracker. No email back from them, and no refund for the cologne I paid for. This company needs to go out of business faster.

We hope that since writing this review, you received your fragrance and loved the scent. If not or if you have any other concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at socialsupport@scentbird.com, we’re happy to answer!

I have gotten several "different" perfumes but they never match what other people say in the reviews. I almost feel that it's been just different varieties of the same perfume. I even had a friend get a different perfume sent to her and it still has the same baseline scent. Now I've ordered a sample version of a couple of the perfumes directly from the perfume companies themselves to see if they are the same scents I received.

We appreciate your comment, Dorothy! But this doesn't sound right. Please trust us, we never compromise on the integrity and quality of our fragrances! In fact, our scents are exactly the same as the ones in full-size bottles, just in smaller quantities. Scentbird simply gives them a stylish makeover with our signature packaging so we can offer our awesome monthly service. This repackaging shouldn't affect the fragrance itself or its staying power. By the way, we've got your back! We offer a one-time courtesy replacement for fragrances you didn't like. If you're interested, just shoot us an email at support@scentbird.com, and we'll make sure to get back to you!

I have been more impressed with Scentbird with each month of my subscription. Between the interactive quizzes on their site to determine your scents to the information filled sections on their site about each individual fragrance, they truly care about the customer! The 5 scents I have received already all appeal to me due to their specific details about each fragrance so you know which specific tones you enjoy. I have ventured out to their other brands, Deck of Scarlet, good habit, Sanctuary and Confessions of a Rebel, and haven't looked back! From the focus on the environment to personalizing individual preferences, Scentbird is truly the future of companies!

I have been charged three times and haven't received my product. I have tried continually to reach out to someone no one ever calls me back or emails me back they have no main number see you can speak to anyone in customer service. I'm done. Do not do business with this company unless you want to be disappointed and you want to donate your money. If there was a way I could give them a negative star I would

I joined in October 2018. They sent my first initial introduction product right on time. Loved it. However November came they took my money but claimed the cologne I chose was available, which I had to find out on their website because no email or notification was given other than not receiving the product. December was the same. They took my money but no product. Cut my losses at $30... and cancelled my membership. Lessons learned next time I'll read reviews before I join anything again.

I have loved every scent I received. It comes with a gorgeous compact scent holder that mists just the perfect amount of scent. The fragrances last all day and the sample lasts all month until your next one arrives! Love scentbird! It's the best thing I've done for myself in a long time.

The worst customer service I've ever seen. I started a subscription on November, and chose my first fragrance, they end up charging me and never sent out the product. When I try to contact the customer service, I always get that same useless response from that computer generated response asking for email and address, then never reply back. Please don't ever spend your money on scentbird, you're just basically throwing your money into the trash.

So I'm always showing off my scents to my friends and telling them about it because I'm proud of them. With my pay there's no way I could afford any of these in full size bottles so the fact that I now have 3 Gucci perfumes and a Versace is honestly so thrilling for me. I love this service. I wish you could sell discounted full size products as well.

Takes a really long time for them to ship your "monthly" scent so it's common that you won't get them in the month that it's intended for. Canceling your subscription is INSANE. How do you call yourself a subscription service but have no way to cancel your subscription from the website? SCAM. They try to trick people into not canceling and continue charging cards. I'm surprised they haven't had a lawsuit for this yet. I originally subscribed about 3 years ago and it seemed pretty decent and was cheap so I kept it about 3 months before cancelling but since I recently resubscribed it's a huge difference in price now. All of the scents I had previously gotten were "+$10" and had about a 100% markup from the last time I had ordered them.

Also— I noticed that a Scentbird representative will respond to only good reviews but are very suspiciously quiet when people are stating that they were scammed out of money.

I subscribed to Scentbird as part of a gift I was awarded for some volunteer hours. The first 'free' delivery cost me $7.31.
I tried numerous times to cancel the subscription thereafter with no replies.
Finally, Scentbird customer service confirmed the cancelation on the day after a second shipment was deployed. No returns. No refunds on merchandise that's already delivered. I would not recommend this company to any one, ever. My 1 star rating is being generous.

14.95 for approximately 140 sprays. However 12.99 for the case unless you subscribe to the case then it's 10. If you don't get the case you are left with an awkward lonely vile that bears no legitimacy of being a designer perfume. Also the candles are small and have no smell other than wax smell literally cheap nasty who had a birthday? Wax smell. The lotions are cheap and made up. For that money I can go to Ross or Burlington and get a set. I can get 4 wally world candles and 4 bed bath lotions for 1 - 14.95 candle or lotion. If you love the mail and hate money this is for you.

Tip for consumers:
A lot of designer perfume stinks and you are more than likely cling to your old sets more then ever.

I started with 3 for me, 3 for my mate cause that was the best deal. He was not at all impressed and wanted his canceled right away. I have kept mine I was getting more than one case but I canceled that subscription and it doesn't come with the case at ALL if you don't subscribe wow. A lot of the scents do not match the description and I never looked into sending them back I gift them. I will probably end my subscription soon. Like last order status.

I really want to love this subscription. I love the perfume/cologne options and I like that I can try so many designer fragrances at a low price every month! However, they take payment on the 5th of each month, and are supposed to ship within 10 days of payment. For months now, I haven't received my package until almost the first week of the following month! Then charged a week later for my next months subscription. If scentbird could figure out the shipping issues they seem to have, I would probably be a lifelong subscriber!

Hi Jackie, thank you for your honest feedback. We're glad that overall you're enjoying our service! But we're sorry that our shipping times have been frustrating for you. We are aware of these complaints about delivery times, but rest assured that we're working on improving the length of time it takes to receive your orders ❤️. Because we ship in batches plus offer free shipping and work hard to customize each order according to the fragrance you’ve selected, & because our fragrances are considered Hazardous Materials, the shipments can take up to ten business days to be delivered in ground shipping. We promise to strive to do better!

I love perfume, and I was nervous about trying and committing to this but having the ability to pick and choose the fragrances that I'm going to get is great. You can see reviews of others and what tones are in each perfumes to see if you think it is one that will appeal to you. I also am a tester now for scent bird so they are sending me perfumes to review on for them to release for coming month. I love it. Don't regret it at all and will continue keep my subscription going.

It has been years since I bought a new perfume brand. I was tired of my old one and did not know where to begin.

I love the sampling. I love the recommendations based on previous picks! I haven't fount the one yet, but I am having so much fun "dating" new perfumes. This is my favorite subscription service. I will be yours too.

I am unable to cancel or change my subscription without emailing the company and I also am paying twice and much than I thought I was going to be for the subscription. And there is no way to change on the website. It's also very confusing when signing your signing up so you don't really know what your signing up for.

I started using Scentbird a few months ago. I fell in love with the idea of not having to go to a department store, being able to sample different fragrances all from my home I love the option to choose what you want and that you can make changes to re-organize which you want to receive when. My only issue is the very long time it seems to take to ship, it takes the money from your account quite a long time before you actually receive the package, and that is confusing and hard to adjust to. Several months I have missed shipping on time because I was not aware that it would be withdrawing the money when it did. Overall though, especially during this pandemic, a great way to try things out and a really nice pick me up every time it arrives. I actually have turned a few people on to it. I love getting packages, these are extra special! I get 3 a month, its great.

Hi Joi, thank you for your honest feedback. 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.

Hi Shawn, very sorry to hear all this. Kindly note that we offer 500+ fragrances to choose from and our catalog includes luxury brands along with niche ones. It's also possible to review the catalog prior to subscribing in order to make sure that we do carry fragrances of your interest. As a subscriber with Scentbird, you have full control of your queue and what you'll receive in your orders. You absolutely can edit and re-arrange your queue to your needs. Just keep in mind to make queue adjustments before it gets locked for the month. It looks like you didn't fill in your queue in time, so we sent you Fragrance of the Month. Rest assured in such cases we always offer courtesy replacement with a fragrance of your choice. And we also offer free replacements in case if the package was lost or undelivered. In case if you're interested to receive a replacement, feel free to message us at support@scentbird.com or contact us via our social media channels. We'll gladly help you out!

I enjoy it very much although it's not enough to last between deliveries at all. Lately deliveries are more than a month sometimes going 45 days. I thought the point was to last from delivery to delivery. I would like to see some Tom Ford. I do enjoy my scentbird just wish things were a little different. I think for 16.95 a month the samples should be bigger. Have a great day

I love the scents that Scentbird sends to me each month. I like having a variety to choose from, and I haven't had one that I dislike. My only complaint is the case that you receive with the first order. It's cheaply made and honestly pretty embarrassing that the company is okay with sending them out. I went on Amazon and bought some different cases that work just fine. Overall, I'm happy with my monthly subscription.
