These oils suck. The ones that smell remotely close to the scent being copied are weak and diluted. Other oils smell nothing like the inspiration. I'm mad at myself for making the purchase.

These oils are crap I spent over $100 to find that out there are Bacarat 504 smells nothing like the original and lasts for maybe 30 minutes. Jean Paul Gaultier is smells like bug spray. I wouldn't do business with these clowns.

If I could give this company less than 1 star I would. I inquired about the proper INCII names for the dyes in their fragrance dye and it took them a month to get back to me with an “answer”. When they finally did, they sent me a response from Chat GPT where they clearly asked “hey, what’s in our dye?”. Of course Chat GPT didn’t know, so it just sent me a list of dyes that it could be. Yes, they asked Chat GPT what is in the product they’re selling to people. This is literally the stupidest response I’ve ever gotten to a product inquiry ever. I have no idea how these people are running a business but it’s obviously terrible.

ordered compare to Oleg Cassini (M). Not only was it nothing like the original, it was actually obnoxious and offensive. The original Oleg Cassini for men was musky with notes of dark amber, patchouli, and jasmine. This sample smelled more like a soapy disinfectant used in a dentist office. There was no effort to match the original formula. In fact; I doubt they ever even had it.

I have been ordering Egyptian Musk and Curve oil from Common Scents for over 15-18 years. I have been pleased with the quality and have gotten thousands of compliments all over the world. Recently (December 2025) I placed an order for two 1/6 oz of Egyptian Musk and a 1/6 oz bottle of Armani. Upon receiving the fragrances. I was not satisfied with the weak smell. I could tell that there was a slight hint of Egyptian Musk fragrance. But it was not absolutely not enough for the scent to stay in my clothes. Within a minute you could not smell the fragrance. I emailed Common scent to let them know my disappointments. Especially because I’ve been a customer for over 15-18 years. They responded quickly with professionalism. Are a week of responding back and forth. They were NOT willing to make the request of me getting a stronger scent. Unless I returned the two 1/6 oz bottles. Today I 12/2325 call and spoke with a young lady about the email. After explaining the emails and where I stood she told me the same thing. She offered to get her supervisor and I wasn’t not angry I was not upset or being loud or using profanity. I was laughing and making the most out of the situation trying to be lighthearted. She tells me they I’m not being serious twice then she hung up on me. They refuse to make the situation right. I’ve been a loyal customer for between 15 & 18 years. I told both the the representatives that I am sending the fragrances back. The arrogance and ignorance to lose beyond loyal customer. Not that I used foul language, not that I used a loud tone nor was I being disrespectful. They refuse to make the situation right. The website DOES NOT provide information to distinguish what fragrances are stronger or weaker. I am disappointed that I will no longer be able to support or get the Egyptian Musk fragrances that I’ve been using since 1999. It is difficult to find this oil.

This product is straight trash garbage if you will. What you order is not what you’re getting. Soon as I opened the package and untwisted the cap and put it to my nose. I knew it wasn’t the fragrance I purchased. I wish I had reviewed the reviews before I spent my money. I’m officially over ordering online. It’s a hassle to get my money back. You never know what you’re getting. Buy in store it’s safer at least you pick what fragrance you like in person. I should have used my common sense.

Would give 0 stars if able to. There is very little smell to the oil. I was highly disappointed. I was under the impression this was a strong scent that was comparable to the original. And could be diluted. Maybe my packer mixed my order up with MCT I would not recommend. **Update Customer service cannot help you and All Sales Are Final. However if its unopened you can pay shipping again and get your money back. What a joke.

The prices are way more expensive now and shipping costs is really bad use to buy often but now it's out of hand loss my business
