“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.

Keep away. They offer no refunds even if they charge you and fail to ship out your items. They are extremely inconsistent with delivery times. One month you could receive your product on time and the next month not receive your product at all. You won't get any help from their automated response email from customer service. Honestly I'm surprised that this company doesn't have more lawsuits against them than they already do. Charging someone's account and then never sending the product is theft! Stay away

Scentbird is definitely one of the better monthly subscription services to join. I have been nothing but happy with all the different colognes I received so far and look forward each month on what's still to come.

I like the ability to try different parfum without having to buy full size. I can select any fragrance available in scentbird website. It is easy to manage the subscription as well - I can change from one to two or three at a time. I have discovered many new fragrances through scentbird subscription services. I highly recommend trying

The website is terribly broken and doesn't work correctly it takes forever to load and if I try to change my account settings they don't save. Multiple months they have double billed me and then corrected the extra charges later ( I think). There is no way to be sure the billing is correct since there is no way to see billing details on their website, you just have to cross your fingers and hope they're billing you correctly, which is even more confusing for Canadian customers who have to factor in the exchange rate. The order tracking on the website doesn't update. Support is extremely slow to respond to you. Plus when I added extra items to my subscription they didn't include them in the order.

I tried scentbird to support one of my favorite podcasts and it was a complete waste of time and money. After waiting over two weeks for my first months supply (which is about the size you would get for free from any department store) I opened my package to find over half of the tiny bottle broken and spilled within the envelope. And the fancy sprayer, that seems to be their main marketing point, was already flaking and falling apart. I paid the trail price of $9 but I can not believe that people actually pay $15 dollars a month for this subscription. They already have a very limited selection and from what I've gotten, you're only going to get half of what you pay for.

I got my first order and found it was packed into a small lipstick looking container, I don't remember being told it would arrive that way, but it certainly did try to act like you would get the bottle instead of this rediculous looking tube. Talk about taking the fun out of buying cologne. It smelled watered down and not like the original one I smelled. These guys are like the guy 15 years ago trying to sell you every scent on the street from a backpack. Looks like that guy blew up. There is no contact to stop your subscription. If you feel displeased with this service you could be stuck for a minute. There is no way to get out easily. Not happy at all. I feel it's a rip off and doubt these are the real scents. Hopefully I figure out how to cancel, right now they trapped me.

Hi Stephen, sorry to see your disappointment with the product you received. Scentbird is a scent, beauty, and wellness discovery platform. This information is available before you purchase on our website before you pay for it- on the checkout page and our FAQ page. We do demonstrate some of the full-size bottles on products' pages since this is the way customers can recognize them even without remembering the names. 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. We'll be very glad to help you cancel your subscription for you. Just contact us through Instagram DM or Facebook PM, or email us at socialsupport@scentbird.com & we'll help you out ASAP. Thanks so much!

I have had my subscription for a few months and they have done nothing to subtract from their initial effort to earn my money. All these companies give you a great initial purchase, even scentbird gave me a free gift. But what makes scentbird better than all the rest of these copycats is that after the first month they still ship on time, they get your order right, product quality maintains at a high level, shipping updates and tracking are sent directly to my email and that makes for an easy no log in check up on the shipping details.
They also have a nice product sorting search filter that allows me to select the best cologne for me.
So you can smell expensive, good or fresh depending on the situation or person you are trying to attract.

I absolutely love wearing perfume. I never wear just one because I enjoy creating custom scent experiences. High quality perfumes are expensive. It's risky to try new scents if you have to purchase the full size. Scentbird is a great way to discover new fragrances in a way that is very budget friendly. The size is enough for at least five uses even if you like a "heavy pour". You can place your subscription on hold if necessary, which is a consideration many people will find helpful. I highly recommend this service to anyone who loves fragrances like I do.

Thank you so much for your review, Sharon! We're so happy to hear that you're enjoying your Scentbird subscription :) We're happy and available to help always via email at socialsupport@scentbird.com or private message on Facebook. If you ever have any concerns or feedback, feel free to contact us. We're happy to chat! We definitely understand your frustration, Sharon! Because we ship in batches plus offer free shipping and work hard to customize each order according to the fragrance you’ve selected, delivery time may vary. In addition, because our fragrances are considered Hazardous Materials, the shipments can take up to ten business days to be delivered in ground shipping. We're working on improving the length of time it takes to receive your order though! ❤️

Three times I had questions on how to navigate the app or change my queue. Every single time they got back to me the same day and not only explained in detail what to do, they did it for me.

There is no actual contact to speak to regarding anything on your account or with your order. I have yet to receive 2 months of my orders and cannot get a darn person to contact me back, just a automated email explaining they moved. I've since cancelled my subscription and am raising hell about my money they took and didn't provide the services paid for. I'm putting it all out there!

I really enjoy being able to get a different scent every month. Just a little extra cost and you can get 2 or 3. Have had several that I like and a few I didn't. So now I know what not to get. There are many choices of fragrances to choose from. To try out ones you've never tried or ever heard of. This is a great plan. I highly suggest it for those who don't know the fragrances that appeal to you. Trust me you won't regret it! Sorry wrote this review at work so I can't add any pictures. 6 month member!

I do enjoy ScentBird as they have a great variety of fragrances. Quick delivery. And great customer service. The only thing I would say is the cost is a little high to include a twist up case. I feel that it should be included with the membership fragrance each month. Paying another $10 is like paying for another fragrance. I'd even be half with $5 each case.

Hi Crystal, thank you so much for sharing your positive experience with us and the community! We are doing our best to save the environment at all costs, and this includes lessening the production of the cases. The purpose of the colored case (or extra case) is for our subscribers to re-use them every time they want to switch to a new fragrance. But we'll definitely forward your feedback to the team :) We always appreciate it!

I usually wait for special occasions to get the scents that I want, but now I have at least one special occasion a month when my scentbird order comes in lol. It's like having a birthday once a month instead of once a year. Customer service is always down to have a conversation and solve whatever problem your may have. And the selection is over the top.

Scentbird is too expensive and they charge a $10 premium price on all of the good scents. It's a subscription that would be great for people who know their scents because if you pick a scent you've never smelled before you're taking a risk of being stuck for a month with a fragrance you don't like. The cases the perfumes come in are horrible, they're magnetic and I was constantly digging in my purse because the perfume fell out of the case. I switched to fragrance.net's Purplelux club it's cheaper and not as many premium charges on their scents. You can get some popular scents with no premium up charge.

Tip for consumers:
Shipping takes too long.

Hi Melanie, we're sorry to hear about your unpleasant experience. The reason we have introduced the premium surcharge is so that we can extend our portfolio of products as we realize that some customers would like to see more premium items on the list. As we grow, we are striving to bring on more luxury fragrances so you have more choices to try. Using Scentbird you've got help via scent quiz, smart suggestions, and your favorite notes to pick the perfect fragrance for yourself! We offer (1) one-time courtesy replacement for disliked fragrances. If you're interested, reach us out via support@scentbird.com and we'll get back to you. Thank you!

Update 2/7/23:

They sent a replacement product so they did eventually correct the issue, Their customer service was very slow to respond - maybe they need to hire more people or maybe they are growing too big, too fast. I have loved almost every scent I've received and think the price is fair for what you get. I just wish they would go back to their original atomizer!

Original review posted 1/24/23:
I loved Scentbird until they sent me a defective product (bottle doesn't spray at all) and have failed to correct the issue. I paid for a product that I have yet to be able to use, and their customer service department hasn't responded to my support ticket. It has been six days - that's ridiculous to me. I thought for sure they would send a replacement bottle. Now I'm wondering if I'll ever get a response.

Tip for consumers:
The new atomizer is subpar at best.

I really love this whole business model. I don't use perfume super often, so its nice to be able to get smaller portions that I know will last me a while. The website itself gives a lot of information about each scent and it really helps me pick out some wonderful perfumes.

The only thing I don't really like are the new cases. The old ones works amazing, and felt sturdier. The new design is made of plastic, the plunger gets stuck, and its less secure, so I have had the spritzer move so it can get pressed in my purse.

Tip for consumers:
You don't need the case to use the perfume, but it keeps the bottle protected if you want to take it with you.

I'm leaving this review because I can't seem to be able to get any help on their business phone... I don't know what else that I can do... I honestly wouldn't even give 1 star feedback.

Absolute sham of a company. Subscribed in early November only to see my first month's shipment as "processing" but no actual product delivery. I received no email updates, nothing, but they sure took my money. I submitted a dispute with my credit card and received a refund, thankfully. This company should do the right thing and halt all orders if it cannot fulfill them.

I thoroughly enjoy Scent Bird. During the pandemic smelling and testing fragrances in the store has been disallowed. It is so nice to have this avenue to test fragrances before buying them. Additionally it's nice to have more time to spend with the scents rather than just smelling them in the store. It gives the buyer a much better opportunity to make the right choice when purchasing a fragrance. Things are expensive these days and perfumes are no exception. It's good to be confident in your purchase. Then too receiving them in the mail each month is really fun and something to look forward to beach month. Good job Scent Bird! Thank you.

I'm the kind of guy who likes to smell good. I wear cologne almost all the time even if I don't expect to see anyone just because I enjoy the smell. I also love having many different options and so I used to spend hundreds of dollars on different cologne but with Scentbird I can spend a fraction of that and have far more options. I haven't even run out of the cologne from my first months subscription because I've been alternating everything. It's obviously smaller quantities than a regular cologne bottle but I honestly think you end up getting more bang for your buck this way. My only wish is that they had a few more brands however that said the existing selection is extremely extensive so there's honestly nothing to complain about.

Tip for consumers:
Plan your fragrances out months ahead so that you don’t have to go change them last minute. That said you should also check the site frequently because they’re always updating their selection and they often have deals that you can take advantage of. The nice thing is that as long as it’s not already being prepared to be shipped you can change your que for fragrances or whatever you’re getting monthly.

The idea of Scentbird is great! They make it possible to try scents before committing to them, and have a great selection of fragrances!

However, they lack communication even the most basic "your package has shipped". Most upsetting though is when things are running behind (and that's not the fault of Scentbird), they make no effort to make you aware. Trying to get a hold of anyone to figure out where in the process of receiving my package things are proved almost impossible until I said as much on social media.

So in all, I'd say the area needing improvement and keeping them from a 5 star rating is customer care.
