I ordered 5ml decant of Bois d'Armenie - Guirlain perfume. I hadn't had the chance to try this fragrance before. When I received the package, I realized 5 ml wasn't enough—I loved it so much. This perfume has been discontinued. After trying unsuccessfully to find a full bottle, I decided to order a 15 ml decant from the same website. It cost $70 plus about $20 for shipping. When I received the package, I was perplexed. It was a completely different perfume! Not only did it smell different, but the color of the liquid was different. I showed both samples to my sister and asked her to compare them. She also thinks they are different scents. I wanted to leave a review about this on the ScentsEvent website, but I couldn't log in to my account. I decided to write about it because I'm still in shock.

I placed a substantial order for 8 different niche perfume samples/decants totaling $171.16 Upon delivery, the situation was immediately alarming: Damaged & Leaking Goods: The package arrived in poor condition with leaking vials. Counterfeit Fragrances: As an owner of authentic bottles (e.g., Roja Dove Sweetie Aoud from Neiman Marcus), I conducted a direct comparison. The products received had zero projection, negligible longevity, and an entirely incorrect scent profile. They were clearly fake. Do not risk your money. STAY AWAY.

Sample scents are fine but the company has an issue with their order processing. Even when you pay extra for expedited shipping, the say it’s shipped when it’s not. The order notes and status are misleading. If ordering make sure you order at least two weeks in advance of when you expect to have it and do not pay for expedited shipping. You’ll just be out money for no reason. When I raised issue that item was not shipped as noted in the order (only label created) they took days to reply and only replied after it was dropped off at the post office days later which by then it was too late for me to receive on time. They would not refund the extra money paid for 3 day shipping.

Company offered to correct the problem

The decants were diluted with alcohol or something. I had others to compare and they were weak and colorless. obvious they were not authentic I returned on my dime and they kept 20% and they will likely sell the fakes to another sucker like myself. This is a fraud company and stay away. many more sellers online and try ebay, etc before these frauds.

As soon as I took the bottle out of the package I knew it was off because the colour of the real perfume (which I own) was not the same as what I got (pink versus yellow). I decided to give it a sniff anyway, and sure enough, screechy, alcohol “somewhat” reminiscent of what the perfume should smell like but it had a dollar store quality to it. Absolute garbage for $200 (vs the real fragrance at $600). I emailed these scammers and went back and forth, at first said they can refund, then they said they couldn’t, then finally they could. I asked for a return label and was denied, implying I should ship it back at my own expense. I contacted my credit card company and asked them to step in, which they did. Bottom line - I was weary of these negative reviews - and I’m posting because the perfumes they sell are INDEED FAKE and God knows what chemicals are in this. YOU’VE BEEN WARNED!

This is your sign to NOT buy from Scents Event. Do not buy. These are fake scents, poorly packed, they came spilled all over the place. I have tried other brands like MicroPerfumes and ScentsSplit and it's a completely different experience. Do not buy, don't waste your money.

I have been a customer of Scentsevent for a few years, now. Always good selection, good prices and professional service.
