Extremely disappointed with Scento

Extremely disappointed with Scento. I placed an order on 11 July for 8 fragrance samples, all listed as “in stock” and “available” on the website, and paid in full at checkout.
Four days later, nothing had been shipped and there was zero communication from their side. When I reached out myself, I was told that two of the items were actually out of stock — despite the website showing full availability at the time of purchase. So I paid for products they couldn’t actually supply, and they didn’t bother telling me until I asked.
I sent a clear email asking them to either ship the available items by a specific date or fully refund me to my original payment method (not store credit). It has now been several more days and I have received absolutely no response — not to my emails, not to my messages. No shipping update, no explanation, nothing. Total silence.
This is a week of paying customers being ignored after taking their money. If you’re considering ordering from Scento, be aware that their stock information is unreliable and their customer service does not respond once there’s an actual problem to resolve. I would not recommend ordering here if you need your items within any reasonable timeframe.

Dear Victoria,

We understand your frustration, and you raise a fair point: when an item shows as available at checkout, that is what you should be able to rely on, and in this case our stock accuracy fell short. Certain in-demand fragrances can sell out between order and fulfilment, which is an explanation, not a substitute for the clarity you were owed.

Requests to ship by a set date or to refund to your original payment method are handled by our support team in line with our policy — the choice is always yours, never store credit by default. Please write to support@scento.com with your order number so your request can be actioned directly.

Ordered perfume samples from Scento

Ordered perfume samples from Scento. I discovered they had automatically enrolled me in their monthly subscription (Scento+).
Fortunately my card had expired, so no payment was taken.
This is a very shady practice, no clear consent or visible opt-in during ordering. Buyers, check your account immediately after any purchase and cancel the subscription right away if you didn’t want it. Use a virtual card for protection."

Dear Bondier,

Thank you for raising this, as consent and control matter a great deal to us and we want to address your concern directly.

Scento+ is activated only through explicit, deliberate steps at checkout — it appears as a distinct choice with its own confirmation, and it is never pre-selected or added silently to a sample order. We take transparency seriously, so if anything in that flow felt less than clear, that is genuinely useful for us to review. For reassurance: no payment was taken, and should any Scento+ enrolment ever appear on an account, it can be cancelled at any time, directly from the account settings, with no email required.

We would be glad to check your account personally and confirm it reflects exactly what you intended. Please write to support@scento.com and we will look into it straight away.

original/real perfumes

Well-made website, fairly large niche catalog, fast shipping. To my nose the perfumes are original, excellent service for trying the niche before buying.

Dear robic37,

Thank you for taking the time to share such a considered review. It means a great deal to read that our niche catalogue, the speed of your delivery, and — above all — the authenticity of the fragrances lived up to your expectations.

Every scent we offer is sourced exclusively from authorised European distributors, so that discovering a niche house before committing to a full bottle feels both effortless and trustworthy. That spirit of confident discovery is at the heart of the Scento experience.

We look forward to continuing your fragrance journey with us.

Warm regards,
Aris

Personalized answers

Personalized answers, will always rate them max for that! A human being, judging in context, making proposals to replace what was not available...and I fell in love with one of the replacements proposed by the human being! (not the case with AI though, tried it before, zero match)

Dear Alina,

Thank you for taking the time to recognise the personal care our team put into finding you a replacement. What you describe is exactly the kind of considered, in-context recommendation we hope every member experiences, and it means a great deal that a member of our team could read your taste closely enough to suggest something you genuinely fell for. Discovering a scent you love through a thoughtful, human suggestion is the heart of the discovery journey we want to offer. We are so glad this replacement turned into a real match rather than a compromise. We look forward to helping you uncover many more scents you adore.

Warm regards,
Mia

Horrific experience

I made an order back in April 2026, after contacting customer support multiple times about my order haven’t been shipped, it got shipped almost 2 weeks later, on checkout it said 2-3 business days btw for the estimated time.

When contacting support I was told that due to this delay they would add an extra gift for me because they were “sorry”, and when I made the order I also had a mystery gift as part of a promotion as well. The order arrived almost a month later with ZERO gifts. Didn’t make a fuss out of it.

Then I made another order on July 2026, an item I had became out of stock and they sent me an email telling me about it and a link for me to choose a replacement item or store credit refund, all replacement recommendations were half the price of my item btw. I sent them an email telling them I want them to refund me the amount of the out of stock item back to my card, to which they replied the amount has been added to your account as store credit…

And just now that 2nd order got shipped and I noticed it’s missing another 2 items on top of the 1 they informed me was out of stock. And they issued store credit to my account once again, but this time WITHOUT even informing me. Absolutely ridiculous. As I am writing this I am trying to cancel my order.

Overall horrible experience both times, I will never be purchasing from this company ever again! Not to mention that they are also extremely overpriced!

Dear Konstantinos,

Thank you for laying out both orders in such detail, because it makes very clear how many things went wrong, and none of it reflects the standard you should be able to expect from us. On your first order, checkout indicated 2-3 business days and it shipped roughly two weeks late, and after our team promised an extra gift for that delay, your parcel arrived with none of the gifts you were told to expect, including the mystery-gift promotion. That is a promise we made and failed to keep, and it is ours to put right. On your second order, when an item was unavailable, the choice of how to be made whole was always yours, and you clearly asked for a refund to your card. Store credit should never have been placed on your account in its stead, and it should certainly not have happened a second time without anyone telling you. I also want to acknowledge that your order then shipped missing two further items beyond the one that was out of stock, which compounded an already frustrating experience. You should not have to keep chasing us to have any of this resolved. A member of our team will contact you directly to honour your choice of a refund to your card, correct how both refunds were handled, and sort out the missing items. We will come to you with a resolution rather than asking you to follow up again.

Dear Dominik,

Seven days without a single update on your order, and no reply to the emails you sent, is unacceptable, and it is the opposite of how any member of ours should be treated. I want to be plain about that rather than offer excuses: we let you down on both the order progress and our response to your messages. You should never have been left chasing us for basic information. I am escalating your order internally as a priority, and a member of our team will follow up with you directly to put this right. You do not need to reach out again or wait in the dark; the next step is ours to take. I am genuinely sorry for the frustration this has caused, and I hope we can earn back your trust.

Thank you for taking the time to share such kind words. It means a great deal to hear that the communication felt clear, that your order reached you quickly, and that the fragrances themselves lived up to your expectations. Every decant we send is sourced from authorised European distributors with full batch traceability, so knowing it added to your discovery journey is exactly what we hope for. We look forward to helping you uncover your next favourite scent whenever you are ready to explore further.

They have a vast collection of decants at a decent price that are hard to find in other stores. There are only two improvement points I'd say would make customer experience better:
1. Support - I've sent many emails requesting a status on my order to which I've got not reply
2. Time - it took a long time between order placement and delivery
3. UX - I found the UX of subscription and orders to be weird. I found it hard to cancel membership and to check order status and order details

Reply from Scento

Dear Carlos,

Thank you for such thoughtful and honest feedback, and for highlighting how much you value our collection of hard-to-find decants, many of which are genuinely difficult to source elsewhere. On your support point, you are right to raise it: your emails should have been answered, and the silence you experienced is a real failure on our part that we are actively working to fix by improving our response times. On timing, longer waits can happen when we source high-demand fragrances from our authorised distributors, but that should always be communicated to you clearly along the way, and we did not do that well here. On the UX, I appreciate you flagging both the membership and order-status experience specifically; for reference, membership can be cancelled self-service at any time in your account settings, and we are improving how order status and details are surfaced so nothing feels hidden. Your notes give us a very clear picture of where to focus, and we are grateful for them. We hope to make your next experience a much smoother one.

Warm regards,
Mia

Dear Celina,

Thank you for the lovely feedback, and for calling out the variety of brands, the website, and the fast, helpful support you received from our team. On the two points you raised, both are fair. Delivery can occasionally take a little longer when we are sourcing high-demand fragrances from our authorised distributors, and we are working to keep that window tighter. The loose sample caps are a genuine quality concern, and I am passing this directly to our packing and quality team so that every vial seals tightly on arrival. Feedback like yours is exactly what helps us refine the details, and we look forward to getting them right for you next time.

Warm regards,
Mia

Not a good experience so far.

Juices are nice and seem authentic but I am overall disapointed. First, package got misplaced. Then I ordered some 2ml and some 5ml vials but they all were 2ml.
I contacted customer service and am still waiting on an answer. Finally, the vials do not look at all like the picture on the site. They are in plain white plastic.

Dear Alex_ia,

Thank you for confirming the juices came through as authentic, and for taking the time to lay out what went wrong, because this string of problems is not the experience we want any member to have. You are right to be frustrated: the misplaced package was a poor start, and receiving all 2ml vials when you ordered a mix of 2ml and 5ml is a genuine fulfilment mistake on our side, made worse by the wait you have had for a reply from our team. On the vials themselves, our decant format is intentionally a practical, travel-safe design and the imagery on the site is illustrative rather than exact, though we understand that difference was not what you expected. None of that changes our commitment to sourcing authentic fragrances from authorised European distributors with full batch traceability, and we want you to be happy with what you received either way. We would like to make the size discrepancy right for you promptly. Please write to us at support@scento.com referencing this review so we can look into your order directly and correct it. Thank you again for your patience while we put this in order.

Came to Greece in just about 4 days which is extremely impressive in all its aspects. Perfume came in great packaging. I just don’t understand the company’s strategy of the subscription service being shoved down my throat but maybe I do. Anyhow, great so far

Dear Rafaella,

Thank you for the kind words on the packaging and for noting how quickly your order reached Greece in around four days. Getting decants to our members safely and promptly is exactly what we aim for, so it is lovely to hear it landed well. I also genuinely appreciate your candour about the membership feeling over-present. Scento+ is entirely optional, and you never need to join it to order from us. Your feedback on how prominently it is presented is well taken, and I will pass it to the team looking at that experience. We are glad the start of your discovery journey has gone well, and we look forward to being part of what comes next.

Warm regards,
Mia

Poor Customer Service - Smashed Vials

So badly packaged that two of the perfumes were smashed to pieces. Customer service unhelpful -sent phtos clearly showing the damage and they lept asking for more. The perfumes smashing meant the whole order was contaminated - will only refund the two smashed bottles. Cancelled subscription - not a company I would ever shop with again

Reply from Scento

Dear VB,

Receiving smashed vials, and then having to chase our team for a resolution, is not the experience we ever want a member to have. There are two failures here that I want to own plainly. The packaging should have protected those bottles in transit, and it did not. And being asked repeatedly for photos, when you had already sent images that clearly showed the damage, was friction we should have spared you entirely. I do not want to settle this through review replies, because the full state of your order deserves a proper second look rather than a partial one. Please write to support@scento.com referencing this review, or reply to your existing thread, so a senior member of the team can review the whole order with you and work to make it right. Our packaging is being reviewed so that breakages like this do not recur. I am sorry the start of your time with us went this way, and I sincerely hope we can earn back your trust.

For order 612121

For order 612121. The perfumes sent do not match the originals. I have a perfume similar to the ones I purchased, and I can tell that the 5ml decant is an equivalent. I will definitely not buy from this site again. The only positive is the shipping, but the products themselves are absolutely terrible.

Gentile Pier,

La ringrazio per aver dedicato tempo a condividere la Sua impressione sull'ordine 612121 e prendo molto sul serio quanto scrive sulla corrispondenza con gli originali. Le confermo che ogni fragranza proviene esclusivamente da distributori europei autorizzati, con piena tracciabilità del lotto, e per il Suo ordine 612121 possiamo fornirLe volentieri la documentazione di approvvigionamento e di lotto. Mi permetta una precisazione tecnica: il confronto diretto con un profumo simile che Lei già possiede non è un test affidabile di autenticità, perché la variabilità tra i lotti di produzione è ampiamente documentata, i primi spruzzi di un atomizzatore nuovo liberano i residui del tubicino interno, gli atomizzatori più piccoli diffondono in modo diverso e la chimica della pelle ne modifica la percezione. Per questo desidero risolvere concretamente: saremo lieti di inviarLe una sostituzione gratuita del decant interessato, senza alcun costo e senza necessità di restituzione, da organizzare scrivendo a support@scento.com con il riferimento 612121. Apprezzo molto inoltre la Sua nota positiva sulla spedizione, un aspetto a cui teniamo davvero. La nostra missione è offrire un viaggio di scoperta fatto di fragranze autentiche e verificabili, e vorrei che il Suo giudizio potesse rispecchiarlo. Resto a Sua disposizione e spero di poterLe far ritrovare fiducia nella qualità del nostro lavoro.

Dear C.,

Thank you for naming the two things we work hardest to get right: genuine fragrances and leak-proof vials. Each decant is drawn from stock sourced through authorised European distributors and sealed to travel safely from Ireland to anywhere your discovery journey takes you. Knowing our support has earned your confidence means a great deal to the team. We will continue to protect that standard with every order you place.

Dear Voula,

Thank you for confirming the scents arrived 100% authentic with packaging you appreciated, and for being candid about the two-week wait. You have read the situation exactly right: the delay almost always traces back to sourcing a high-demand fragrance that can sell out at our authorised distributors between your order and our dispatch. We are actively tightening that window so the genuine-product experience you valued is matched by quicker delivery. Every vial is sent with full batch traceability because verifiable authenticity is the foundation of everything we do at Scento. We look forward to having your next discovery on its way to you sooner.
