Scentbird's price and subscription plan are expensive. Being overpriced compare to other businesses, i would expect better customer service. However, the customer service can only help you cancel the subscription ( never a refund) they are quick on charging customer but very slow on responding customers with concerns. The experience is so bad and I just want my money back while they are processing my order (not shipped yet) I don't want any products shipped to me, they can keep it, I just want my money back.
Used the promo code for 50% off first month but the promo didn't work, have to pay full price.
Accidentally subscribe for 2 products per month, thought they gonna upgrade it the following month, but they decided to put it on active immediately and withdraw money from my account in 1 second. Contact to ask to cancel the plan immediately after being charged, but they said no 3 days after the request was sent, and the order still processing (not shipped)
Also they only sent me one bill through email which is 9.33$. I have to look at the bill through paypal and notice being charged 3 times.
So far I am pleased with this company. I like having many scents to choose from. Thank you Scentbird.
Hi Beth, we're really pleased to hear that you're enjoying your subscription! Thank you for sharing this!
I have been pleased with the product and customer service I have received but they did change the case of the subscription bottles and I prefer the old ones. I have also heard it's hard to cancel your subscription.
Hi Zach, thank you for your honest feedback. We're pleased to hear that overall you're enjoying your Scentbird experience and service provided ❤️! Our cancelation process is in no way meant to be tedious or difficult. We do ask our subscribers why they wish to cancel their subscription, only to see if there is anything about their experience that caused them to cancel that we can rectify. Please feel free to DM us via Instagram or email us at [email protected] & we’ll be glad to help out and cancel your subscription on your behalf.
Before I subscribed I really didn't know anything about colones and different smell profiles or even I what I liked,but after a while of testing out different smells and such,it definitely helped me figure out not just what I like to smell like,but also a verity of different scents of occasions and just new brands to look into and maybe save up for.for the price it really is worth it and even if you ever cancel you at least have some good scents to live off of until you explore yourself :)
Thank you so much for your 5-star review, Jesse! We really appreciate you ❤️
I've worn the same three perfumes my entire life so this has been the perfect way for me to discover new scents. I haven't had any trouble with my account or receiving products. I was ordering one per month and have increased it to two now. The quiz you take to find the scents you prefer is very accurate and it helps them choose a perfume you may enjoy if you didn't pick one. I love this company and I'm glad I didn't steer clear of them based on negative reviews I read before signing up. I think everyone should do it if you enjoy receiving monthly gifts.
Thank you for your love and loyal support, Michelle ❤️ We're thrilled to hear that you enjoy trying out the scents that we offer.
I was a customer for several months receiving 3 scents a month. I decided to put my subscription on hold due to the mounting costs - and only did this because I couldn't figure out how to cancel (they make it really challenging). I noticed that I was charged again despite being on hold and immediately contacted their support email for a refund. They agreed and said it would be processed shortly. When I received the refund it was just for the shipping even though my order had not been shipped yet. I wrote back asking for the rest of the refund and they refused citing some obscure policy. Now this company has my money and I'm left with nothing, no products, no order, nothing. I'm waiting the 15 days until I can dispute it with my credit card company. The concept of the service is cool and the scents are nice but this company feels more like a scam that anything else when you change your mind about subscribing. Beware.
Thank you for your honest review and we're sorry about your experience, Nadine. Please make sure any changes to your account are submitted at least one (1) day prior to your scheduled billing date. This ensures the changes apply to the upcoming billing cycle, and not the next. Due to policies we have in place, once the order is processed, we cannot issue a refund. In case if you haven't received a product you paid for, we'll be glad to track it down for you and send you a free replacement for it, if needed. For that, please email [email protected]. Our Team will gladly help you out!
I got charged 9 dollars for the first month they say but, the next day 11 more bucks taken from my account. I messaged everyday for 8 or 9 days and I messaged the day after they took more money. I got answered fairly quickly then asked for a refund and suddenly ignored. I messaged a couple times seeing if they was going to refund still nothing. I messaged on my other email and again answered fairly quickly I told them I wanted my money and cancel the membership and again ignored. I messaged everyday and today got the order and now they won't refund because when it ships to the person sales are final. I sprayed it and it leaks so 20 dollars for a small leaky bottle. I suggest you don't order from this company.
Hi Daniel, we appreciate you leaving a review. Kindly note that all Premium fragrances have an upcharge cost to them. In order to be transparent with our customers, a notification is displayed prior to you adding such Premium fragrance to your queue and you have to OK it in order to proceed further. Once you confirm that you're ok with paying extra for such fragrances, our system charges you for such fragrances automatically. It looks like you decided to receive a Premium fragrance and we can't cancel the processed order and issue a refund for the upcharge. In case if your bottle is defective and doesn't spray properly, we'll be glad to look into it and send you a replacement for it. For that, please DM us via Instagram, and we'll be sure to look into that! Thanks ahead!
I love being able to get my scent to match my mood for the day. The suggestions are usually really good.
We are so grateful for your kind words, Daniel! Thanks for sharing your review with us and the community. ❤️
I enjoyed the first fragrance that they sent, but at about $18 per month I can find many affordable options that will last for months. Cancelling the subscription is also a hassle since you can't cancel directly on the website. You have to email them to cancel and will then be faced with long waits from their customer support. Seems predatory to me. I regret trying them out.
Hi Mia, we appreciate your message. And we apologize for any inconvenience caused by our cancelation process! It is in no way meant to be tedious or difficult. We do ask our subscribers why they wish to cancel their subscription, only to see if there is anything about their experience that caused them to cancel that we can rectify. Please feel free to DM us via Instagram or email us at [email protected] & we’ll be glad to help out and cancel your subscription on your behalf. Thank you ahead!
It's Scentbird said that my fragrance got delivered into my mailbox but it never did it was not in my mailbox I still have not yet received my order that I've already paid for. 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. Sorry very disappointed.
Hi Jessica, so sorry to hear this! But rest assured that we always send all of our customers' orders. If for some reason orders are missing, we're always open to assisting in finding or replacing these orders. You just need to contact us via [email protected] or contact us through our Social media channels: DM us via Instagram or PM us via Facebook, and one of our Team members will be glad to resolve everything for you. We do not have a telephone number dedicated to customer support as of yet as we are still a small (and quickly growing) team. E-mail support is our main mode of support to ensure that each and every inquiry is responded to with care.
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.
We really appreciate your review, Alexandra! And are very happy to see that overall, you're enjoying the business model and service that we offer ❤️. But we're really sorry for the frustration caused by our rebranded packaging. Our sole intention of upgrading our physical packaging was for a better experience. We'll be improving our atomizers to be as user-friendly as possible. Our Team is in the process of upgrading & ultimately improving our packaging. If you ever have issues or questions, you can email us at [email protected], we're here at your service!
So let's assume that the site is legit and does what they say they do, and I must admit that I think they must be "real" (in a sense) because if they were a scam then they would not be so poorly stocked in the top tier colognes and parfum they claim to have.
Zero Giorgio Armani. Zero Gucci.
Zero Chanel! Between Dolce, Issy Miyake, and Prada they have 4 selections available. Joseph Abboud has a few available on their list. But there is very little to get excited about here. And yet they have any number from Mercedes Benz (seriously, the car guys). And although Michael Kors may make fine clothing, their scents are sorely lacking but are sure enough available aplenty here. I can't be bothered to list the other onissions, let's just say the list of what they do have is much, MUCH shorter than the list of what they don't.
Hi Jeff, thank you for taking the time and reviewing our service. Right now we offer 500+ fragrances from luxury brands as well as niche. We're always in the process of extending our scent selection! ❤️ In the meantime, you can request the fragrances that you love (which we don't have) here: https://www.scentbird.com/request Kindly note that you're able to review our assortment prior to subscribing, in order to make sure that we do carry what you're looking for. Should you have any further questions or concerns please send us an email at [email protected]. Keep safe!
Ive used Scentbird for awhile and decided to cancel. First problem i had is they dont have as big of a selection as they used to. They still have alot of great scents but they got rid of some of the ones I liked the most. The ones they do have that I like never seem to be in stock. They switched over to a new case and atomizer which I HATE! Its made from cheap plastic and looks ugly. The old ones were way better and actully felt like better quality. They also make it very hard to cancel your subscription. Ive reqested it be cancelled twice and am STILL waiting. I will be switching back to scentbox. Much bigger selection, they send a NEW case with every order and in nice colors. Another thing is, Scentbird is charging to much now. A vile of cologne doesnt cost 34 dollars, premium or not. They use DHL for shipping, which is one of the WORST and slowest shipping methods they could have chosen.
Hi Dennis, we appreciate your honest review and we will definitely forward your feedback to our Team. Although we try our best to maintain 100% accuracy with inventory, there are rare occasions when we experience an inventory challenge. Kindly note that we do our best to restock all products in a timely manner. Our sole intention in upgrading our physical packaging was for a better experience. We'll be improving our atomizers to be as user-friendly as possible. Our Team is in the process of upgrading & ultimately improving our packaging.

Email [email protected] or reach us via our social media channels & we’ll be glad to help out & cancel it on your behalf. Let us know if you require assistance, we'll be very glad to assist you further.
Im really glad I found scentbird as most fragrance delivery companies didn't deliver to Canada. Their application interface is easy to use and building your profile based on my taste was seamless and fun. I've always loved fragrances but could never commit to buying full volumes so this company allowed me to explore and discover different scents I never thought I'd otherwise try. Different scents bring out a different side of me, and I'm loving it. Customer service has been very pleasant and swift when I had to request for a refund on an error purchase I made. Highly recommend this company.
Hi Wilfredo, thank you for helping to share the word about us! ❤️ We're really pleased to hear that you're enjoying your subscription!
After receiving 2 monthly subscriptions in a row, I decided to cancel my subscription. The vials the cologne come in are glass and cheap plastic. On just my second order my vial was broken and the spraying tip was busted in several parts. I tried contacting support THREE separate times with zero response. I'm along with most other people who have experienced this website to steer clear.
And not only did my vial come busted, it took 6 weeks to ship, that wasn't 6 weeks after my first box, it was 6 weeks after the expected shipment date. Horrible QA.
Hi Harrison, so disappointed to see your message! But we appreciate your sharing with us. Our sole intention in upgrading our physical packaging was for a better experience. But we've forwarded your comment over to our Management team, as we gather our customers' feedback in order to improve our packaging, taking into account all of the critiques. Kindly note that since Scentbird ships in batches, recurring subscribers can expect their package to leave our fulfillment center 5 business days after billing (please add shipping time from here). 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! But rest assured that we always send out replacements for damaged and defective products. So, if you're interested, feel free to email us at [email protected] or DM us through Instagram/PM us through Facebook. One of our Team members will get back to you ASAP!
I thought they had all kinds of colognes turns out they don't have any but there own generic ones I started a subscription thinking I could try a few but nothing on there list is normal I infact didn't even put anything in my cart and they just sent whatever they wanted and I emailed them immediately and they took 5 days to get back to me and they told me it's already been sent. And it never arrived
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 [email protected] or contact us via our social media channels. We'll gladly help you out!
I received the product in a timely fashion. However the "fragrance" had very little scent and absolutely NO staying power. Like, you sprayed it on and it was gone in SECONDS. It MUST have been watered down. Cancelled immediately.
Hi Julia, very happy to hear that you received your shipment within our regular shipping timeframe. But we're so sorry to hear you are not happy with the longevity of the scent. Let us assure you that all of our products are 100% genuine as they are provided to us by the brands themselves. We don't do anything to compromise their quality & that's why our fragrances are exactly the same as the bottle versions just in smaller quantities. We also offer (1) courtesy replacement for disliked scents. If you need any assistance, kindly email us at [email protected]. We're always happy to help!
Do not do it. I know you're tempted. I mean come on a new scent every month. For only $15 that's amazing right? Except you actually don't get a new scent every month because their shopping sucks. Your shipping might get lost and it'll most likely arrive damaged if by the grace of god it ever gets delivered. I kept emailing them all I get is an automatic response. Bottom line, find some other alternative. It was indeed too good to be true. The good reviews on here was probably paid.
So sorry to see your negative view of the service you received from Scentbird, Khermatie. Rest assured that we always send all of our customers' orders. First-time subscribers can expect their orders to be delivered within 10 business days. If for some reason orders are missing, we're always open to assisting in finding or replacing these orders. In case if your shipment arrived empty or leaks, we're absolutely happy to send replacements ASAP. A greater number of messages have been sent to us recently, and our team has been working hard to respond to each one as quickly as we can. But we always reply to those who contact us via [email protected] or through our social media channels. Let us know if you still need assistance, and we'll gladly make things right by you!
I honestly thought that this was a fabulous idea. I was immediately in. So to speak. I originally chose to be billed on a monthly basis, so should I decide that I wanted out, there would be no issue. Having done so without my knowledge, Scentbird decided to go ahead and bill me for the remainder of the year. Not only was this a problem for me, it was literally 4 weeks before I actually received my first scent. Furthermore, I received a defective item, and requested a replacement. I was told to provide an image of the above mentioned item before they were willing to move forward. I advised that they should be aware of the item that I had received due to the fact that they sent it. Never mind that. No resolution until I provided a photo. Therefore I took a picture of and emailed them. After due process, and several days of waiting the item was replaced. I'm definitely not completely satisfied with the system they use as well as their sales pitch. The pitch does not match the service.
Hi Laney, so sorry to hear about your experience. Kindly note that we cannot upgrade our customers on our side without their consent. A customer has to manually go through all the upgrade steps in order to upgrade the account to a new plan and pay for the upgraded plan. In case if you upgraded your subscription by mistake, our Team will gladly downgrade your plan and refund the upgrade charge. Please note that we require photos from all customers reporting damaged items. This is for quality control as we forward all photos to our fulfillment center so that we can continue to improve our products, report any possible defect trends, etc. Photos also show us exactly which fragrances or items need to be replaced, as customers might have multiple items within one order shipment. A greater number of messages have been sent to us recently, and our team has been working hard to respond to each one as quickly as we can. So, we're glad that you were assisted by our Team and the replacement is on the way. Let us know if there is anything else that we could assist you with at the moment, and we'll gladly do so! Thanks!
I was initially very happy with this subscription, and ended up placing several orders for full sized bottles that I enjoyed. I was disappointed when only two of the three orders shipped, and one of the deliveries was missing a bottle. The other order, the FIRST one I placed, is still processing in my account more than 2 weeks later. Every day I check and the date gets pushed back another day. I was even more disappointed to find that there was no way to reach out to anyone, save for sending an email to their customer service dept. 5 days after sending the first email I got a response that was incoherent and didn't address ANY of the above issues. I was provided with tracking for the delivery that was already received, and there was no mention of the missing bottle or the order that still has yet to be shipped. My subsequent emails to them have still yet to be responded to. It's unfortunate, because I would have been a good customer, but I am really saddened to see that this company simply does not care about customer service, and will be canceling my subscription and trying a different one. I will also be making a BBB complaint. This is simply unacceptable.
Update: Thank you for your canned response, no I will not chase you down on social media to get assistance. I have been informed that my first order isn't coming- since it's been so long the perfume is now out of stock. The missing bottle SHOULD finally be on its way to me. Fingers crossed. I stand by my review that this company is not worth the headache until they put some effort into customer service.
Hi Jess, so saddened to hear that your experience with us wasn't as smooth and convenient as it could've been. We're so sorry for our delayed response time.

Answer: Hi Kambra Apologies for the confusion caused. The price of a 2pcs/6-month fully paid subscription is $135 :) We hope this helps!
Answer: I am frequently asked what perfume I am wearing. It's nice to change things up. My husband has liked all but one of the scents I've received. I LOVE getting a different scents every month. Perfumes smell very different on different people so it's interesting to smell the difference between a perfume on myself versus that same perfume on my daughter but I absolutely love this entire concept and the business is top-notch as it pertains to the customer service and the expedited shipping to ensure that the product arrives when it is supposed to.
Answer: I have tried Scentbox. They are about the same price for a little less volume.

Hi Brenna, very sorry to hear about your experience. With us you receive 0.27oz vials priced at $16.95. In contrast, most rollerballs start at $26 for a 0.25oz bottle depending on the brand. At 0.27 ounces, our vials are roughly the equivalent of 7.5 of those little samples so with us you get more to try out for a whole month. Please make sure any changes to your account are submitted at least one (1) day prior to your scheduled billing date. This ensures the changes apply to the upcoming billing cycle, and not the next. It's true that according to the policies we have in place, we cannot issue a refund for the already processed order, as we can't cancel such an order once it goes through the processing phase. A greater number of messages have been sent to us recently, and our team has been working hard to respond to each one as quickly as we can. Apart from our email: [email protected] you can also use our social media channels to get in touch with our Customer Experience Team. We're here to help out!
