ScentMatchers did a wonderful job matching the Faberge Straw Hat Fragrance. The smell of the fragrance brought back many happy memories. Thank you so much ScentMatchers.

I have looked everywhere for a match of Gucci Envy. I even paid $150 for a bottle on Ebay. I bought a copy scent on Ebay a couple of years ago and it smelled like old lady Jean Nate. This has the deeper scent that the original has once you've worn it for a little while. I'm so excited I found you! I just received it and I've already gotten a million complements. Will definitely buy again!

Very disappointed
June 15, 2018

Aweful. Not even close. Smells like something for a 90 yr old woman. I am not sure if they had a single clue of what it was supposed to smell like. Very expensive for something I will never use

Fabulous!
June 12, 2018

You guys are AMAZING! The scent that I asked for was from the 70's and it was spot on. Also love the script on the bottle! Very neat that you may choose your personalized name for your scent.
I will RETURN!

I ordered two scents that I've missed for years, Gucci No. 1 and Champagne by Germaine Montiel. Neither one even remotely resembled the originals. After contacting the company by email to tell them how displeased I was (thinking I was going to have a hard time making the return) I was very surprised. They were extremely professional, told me to keep the bottles and they would either try again or try something else. I opted for a new scent, Jo Malone Honeysuckle Jasmine. That turned out beautiful. A most wonderful summer scent, which I will be ordering again.
So, in closing, customer service is really great. They are extremely professional and will make sure that you end up happy. I will order from them again because I ended up happy, very happy.

I ordered Instinct by Avon and their first try wasn't that accurate. When I sent them a sample from what I had left they redid the entire order and it was great. Amazing customer service.

I received my perfume today, and... the second attempt is absolutely amazing! The scent is even better than the original it has a slightly sweeter note that I had always wished the original scent had. I love it. They hit it out of the park. Outstanding personalized customer service.
I will recommend Scent Matchers to all my friends and family.

I got my order today and I am so happy I cried. It smells just like Tender Poison by Christian Dior. My mother used to wear this fragrance. It's been 10 years since she passed away and this was like a hug from her, from the past. Thank you so much for recreating this scent for me.

I only wear Tova original perfume.
It's been discontinued now for many years.
I stopped purchasing old bottles on the internet because every time I would spend the money I was taking a chance that the bottle had gone bad, being that the original has been discontinued now for many years.
I came across scentmatchers.com
I ordered a bottle of Tova original.
During the checkout process I was offered a second bottle at a discount price, so I took it.
I received the both bottles. The first bottle I used was very close to the original scen, I was very happy. The second bottle, wasn't so much.
I contacted customer service and Susan Johnson reponded. She did not quit until I was satisfied. She offered me a refund or to try another bottle of Tova original. I took her up on trying a new bottle and I'm so happy I did. She did not quit until I was satisfied. The best customer service experience ever.
So for all the Tova orignal lovers out there, take my word for it, give scentmatchers.com a chance you won't be disappointed.

And a special thank you to Susan Johnson.

I ordered Curiosity! I ordered it on tv in the 80's. Loved it! Then they quit making it. I can't wear alot of purfume because it gives me migraines so I haven't wore purfume for years. Now I find myself wearing this stuff everyday! Definitely will order again! Just don't stop making it!

Looking for ginnie
March 23, 2018

I was trying to come close to what I knew was a discontinued fragrance called Ginnie Johanson and had tried everything and searched everywhere. Then I came across Scentmatchers. The first scent they sent was not close but they tried twice and while the 2nd one wasn't Ginnie, I will give them a huge A for effort. The one they did send is growing on me and I wear it every day now. This is a company that obviously has customer satisfaction in mind. I can't wait to dream something else up for them to try.

Although the match was not a successful one for my scent, I couldnt have worked with nicer people.
They offered to try again if I had a sample of the original fragrance, which I did not.
I came to discover my fragrance was still being made after all! I will try them again in the future!
Thank you for everything. I got a complete refund and kept the perfume as well.

In late December 2017 I ordered the fragrance Programme Homme by Lancôme from ScentMatchers. In Late January I received my order, but unfortunately I was not pleased with the cologne. I contacted them to find out how I could return the order. I was immediately offered a refund and told to keep the the bottles, however if I was willing, they would like to try again. I agreed and mentioned that when they discontinued Programme Homme they released another cologne called Miracle that was very similar. When I received the replacement, I was very pleased.
As I do not have the original to do a side by side comparison, I can not say it is 100% the same. But having realistic expectations, I can say it is close enough to fulfill my desire for a scent from my past.
Customer service from ScentMatchers is second to none. Every communication I had with them was responded to within 24 hours, and I always felt they were genuinely concerned about my satisfaction.
I would highly recommend doing business with this company to anyone.

I have to tell you all that this place is amazing. I saw their ad on Facebook and decided to take a chance on them. A company in Gaylord, MI can't be all that bad right!:-) Especially when I'm born and raised in Michigan!
I have always loved the scent Cherry Vanilla and thought lets see if they can recreate it. Well I got the bottle and it was a lot more cherry than vanilla. So I contacted them and they were amazing. They gave me a few options on what I can do. Having them try and recreate it was at the top of my list. So I talked to them and told them how they can tweak it and I have to tell you that I got my new bottle today and it is AMAZING! Now they will have this scent on file for me for as long as they are in business. Which I hope is forever! If you have a scent that they no longer make and you miss I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ScentMatchers. They are the best!
ScentMatchers thank you again for your awesome customer service. You have a customer for life now!

I have ordered Dazzling Gold, a discontinued perfume from Estée Lauder, three times from ScentMatchers. The first two times the fragrance was absolutely wonderful. My last order was just not right. I immediately contacted the company and explained my problem. Their response was impressive. I was given the option of having my money refunded, including the shipping, or having them make a new batch. (No return of the product was needed.) I chose to have them redo the order, and this time it was perfect. Very few companies are that accommodating. I was so impressed!

Outstanding!
February 23, 2018

I am beyond over joyed with Scentmatchers! So very happy I found them! I purchased the original TOVA fragrance, that is next to impossible to find, or when I did, it was way over priced. The fragrance was spot on, and a terrific value. Large bottle nicely presented in a satin bag! Their communication and customer service is outstanding! Love these folks and will certainly be returning for more!
