I used to be subscribed a few years ago but I canceled because of finances, wasn't really using the perfumes I had since I was staying inside most of '20-'21. There just wasn't a point. But I got a promo deal to sign back up for a good price so I said what the hey, why not? Boy was I surprised when I saw the new packaging.
My first time with Scentbird, they had these nice, sleek metal cases that you put the vial in and they fit snuggly and they twisted up nicely to use. Most importantly, they didn't feel like they would break. I don't know when the packaging changed to these horribly cheap 2 piece magnetic cases that pop apart if you look at them wrong but wow I hate them. They don't feel like something I'm supposed to keep, like I should be taking the vial out and tossing the plastic. The vial rattles around in the case and since I'm kind of clumsy, I've knocked them over a few times and I'm always worried they're going to break since they pop open and the vial hits the ground.
Since the price of the subscription went up since I had them and the packaging had one of the worst downgrades I have ever seen, I had to quit again. I'm sure it's a cost cutting measure to do plastic instead of metal but it really cheapens the whole package. I'd consider going back if they brought back the nice metal packaging. It looked so much nicer.
When first signing up I filled out questionnaire accordingly. They started sending me perfume. I contacted them, and they rectified it the first time. Then months later started sending me ladies perfume again. I messaged several times to no prevail. Now I have 4 perfumes that I won't wear, and they are not rectifying the situation. I don't understand how a business can just start sending a man, ladies perfume, over and over again! It's hard to get over it the first time let alone continuing to do so. And i can't talk to a person, phone or otherwise. It's all robots. No refund. No replacements.

We'll gladly check your account settings for you and make things right. As well as send you courtesy replacements to make it up for all the perfume you got. Please contact us via support@scentbird.com or Facebook PM, we're here for you!
I subscribed because my perfume is pricey & i though i can get it much cheaper on this site. But if you think about it they charge you almost $20 every month for a small vial, costing more at the end. Not also realizing that they take it upon themselves to send you a totally different fragrance. Not notifying the members that you need to check your queue everytime. So i took the quiz & I'm a citrusy fresh kind of person & i use only this scents. Then they send me an absolutely different scent when i took the quiz, smells like caramel. Really scentbird, your wasting my money. This perfume you sent me is absolutely not my kind of perfume, so what will I do with it? Throw it? Awful customer service, i unsubscribed.
Hi Stephanie, we simply want to give our subscribers the option to explore different luxury fragrances with a full month's supply (0.27oz) which is a little bigger than the average sample size. Rest assured that the quiz just shows some suggested results based on the parameters you've chosen during the quiz. But you can ignore them and choose fragrances solely based on desired notes and occasions. You'll have full control of what you will receive in each shipment when you add items to your queue! Let us know if you need assistance by emailing support@scentbird.com & we'll happily assist you further.
The perfumes and colognes are great. My husband and I signed up for 2 scents a month. The first month arrived within the promised timeframe. By the 4th month our shipping update showed a label created and tracking number created on February 23rd, 2023. By March 23rd, 2023 the package had still not even been picked up to be delivered. No update had been made on the tracking in over a month. It is now March 27th, 2023 and we still have not received the items we were charged for over a month ago. We have decided to cancel our service because scentbird had us scheduled to be charged AGAIN before we even received the previous order. Not good business practice.
Hi Shannon, so glad that you and your husband enjoyed the fragrances you received from us! 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 support@scentbird.com so we could help you out. Thank you!
These past month since I started receiving there products I haven't been disappointed all there perfume scents smell amazing.
Thank you for sharing, Sarah! We're so happy to hear that you're enjoying the fragrances that we sent you! We’d love to continue providing great service to awesome customers like you. Thanks again! ❤️
I treated myself to a subscription. Since I had kids I stopped buying real perfume and when I seen this I said Im going to treat myself. I love trying out different scents. It's the perfect size to use for about a month.
Hi Monica, we really appreciate your 5-star review! We work hard to meet expectations like yours, and we’re happy to hear we hit the mark for you. Glad that you're treating yourself like that ❤️
This is a complete scam. I never got my March scent. Delivery status said the 15th then pushed back to the 17th then the 18th. Wasn't a problem until it was out for delivery, then got switched to the 22nd. Emailed scentbird and got in touch with my carrier. The 22nd comes around and the delivery date is gone completely, "still calculating". No one was able to help me and Scentbird support never even answered me. I'm very dissatisfied and frustrated. Keep getting emails to resubscribe but I will never. They actually just robbed me. The photos I attached the one that says the "22nd" was taken 2 days ago and the other one was taken just now.
Hi Nikki, we appreciate your comment. It looks like your March order was lost somewhere in transit. And one of our Team members assisted you and promised to replace your missing order as soon as you confirmed that the shipping address we have on file is still correct. However, we never heard back from you. Could you please email support@scentbird.com, confirming your current address, so we could resolve everything for you? Thanks so much!
I have been a customer with Scentbird for years. They sent me a defective product this month. I have written into support 3 times now (no customer service ph #) and I am told that they cannot find my account, then they ignore me. They ripped me off and will not resolve the issue. Do not use this service, they are crooks.
Hi Katie, this is so unfortunate to hear :( Kindly note that if you received a defective sprayer, we’ll be very glad to look into it and provide you with a free replacement if needed. If you're not receiving our emails from support@scentbird.com, could you please contact us via DMs in Instagram or Facebook? One of our Customer Experience Team members will assist you further and make things right!
I canceled my subscription in september of 2022 I have been or at least i thought i did, I also blocked the company from charging my debit card. I canceled my membership because i GENUINELY cannot afford it anymore. It turns out even after emailing my cancellation they still decided to charge me 30 dollars and send me products i would not like to receive. I have emailed them MULTIPLE times and have gotten a response one time.
Hi Adaline, we're so sorry to hear this! Rest assured that if a subscription is successfully canceled, we will never bill the account. Our team will be very glad to help you and make sure that your subscription is fully canceled. If our email: support@scentbird.com doesn't work for you, feel free to contact us via our social media channels and we'll make sure that you're not charged anymore! Thank you ❤️
Used them twice. First time they started sending female perfumes when I signed up for mens colognes. 2nd time around, colognes case broke and was still charged the monthly rate after canceling they have no phone but an email address. No help. Had to contact my bank and dispute charge. Save your self the hassle

I'm very into makeup and beauty, including haircare, skincare, and perfume. I've found that I can look as nice as possible, but I don't feel put together without a fragrance. I've had so many beauty subscriptions, and this is my favorite that I've ever had. I only get one fragrance a month, but I get to try new scents and really have a variety for every outfit and style that I put together.
So far I haven't had a single delivery turn up with damage. Everything is in perfect condition. I wish I had gotten a different color case, but I can add a case if it was really important to me.
Through Scentbird, I've found several favorites, and started to really nail down what notes hit right. I love it so much, and I'm so glad I have it.
Hi there, so delighted to hear that you're enjoying your experience! Thank you for sharing your feedback! ❤️ We appreciate you!
I love this subscription. It's convenient, comes straight to your door so I don't have to spend hours at a store trying out perfumes. You get a sample big enough for a month but smaller than those bulky bottles. Most are inexpensive to try out. It can also make a great gift. I've given a few and so far everyone loves them. They have a bigger selection of perfumes than the stores I go to. I am very sensitive to perfumes and so I was very happy to find one that I enjoy and am not allergic to. It's called: Saoia asian unicorn from sanctuary. I would have never discovered this without scentbird.
Their website is easy to navigate. I love the descriptions of the products, where it comes from, what's in it etc. I like that they also refer to other similar perfumes if you like one in particular. They even send you a little card with the details of the perfume you ordered.
Overall a great company. I am very satisfied and will continue for a while with them.
We are so grateful for your kind words, Cin! Thanks for sharing your review with us and the community. ❤️
For the last two months I have not received any of the fragrances in my queue. I received one month's fragrance that was not in my queue and also did not receive this recent month's queued fragrance either. I've tried reaching customer service through a phone number or email but no luck. The fragrances that I have chosen in my queue are high end fragrances, so I pay more monthly. I don't understand what is hard in returning some response with the means of today? I hope I get contacted soon cause I'll just cancel my subscription.
Hi Martin, this doesn't sound right at all! Rest assured that as a subscriber with Scentbird, you'll have full control of what you will receive in each shipment when you add items to your queue!

I love monthly subscription sites, especially something like this that provides small samples of (expensive) perfumes so you can try it before you decide to spend hundreds of dollars on the full size. The site does give good descriptions and I've loved all the perfumes I received. However, life happens and sometimes certain monthly purchases must be sacrificed. I needed to cancel my subscription, so I contacted Scentbird support (side note - it's absolutely ridiculous that you can't just cancel your subscription and have to email 10 different people). I contacted them 2 weeks before my next billing cycle. I got an email back that I could expect to hear back from their "scent fairies" within 36-48 hours. Well, it's been over a week now, and radio silence. I've sent a follow-up email and still nothing. Never again will I be giving a cent to this stupid company that doesn't respect its customers' time or money. It seems, however, that they will still be getting my money since I haven't been able to cancel my subscription still. Save yourself the headache and never involve yourself with scentbird unless you plan to keep your subscription forever.
Rachel, we're saddened to see your comment. The only reason we ask customers to contact us for the cancelation process is to gather data about what in their experience caused them to want to cancel their subscription. And if there is anything we could've done better. We apologize for the delay in our response. 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. Feel free to DM us via social media channels in case if you need immediate attention!
The thought of trying out new perfumes was great until you want to cancel your subscription that is. I wasn't getting any perfumes I liked so I wanted to cancel. I sent 3 support emails and finally got an auto response on the 3rd. That was a week ago and I've sent 2 follow up emails and STILL have not heard anything. I want to cancel me account! They have the absolute worst customer service ever.
Hi Lindsay, 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. Rest assured that besides our email: support@scentbird.com, our Customer support team is also available via social media channels.
I joined because I am very sensitive to certain orders. I thought this would be a good way to try some scents without purchasing an entire bottle of perfume. However, after getting three different samples I have developed migraines with all of them.
I decided maybe this just isn't going to work for me. I have tried to cancel my subscription three times now and got nowhere. I can't get through to a live person to stop this. I submitted an email and they responded that someone will be in contact. Still waiting. Meanwhile, I was charges yet again. I feel trapped. Help!
Hi Sabrina, so sorry to hear this! Rest assured that we offer authentic designer fragrances provided to us by authorized vendors or brands directly. Unfortunately, because we are solely a retailer of the products we offer and we don't manufacture them ourselves, we can't guarantee that each fragrance is hypoallergenic. However, you may be able to find this information by researching specific brands or fragrances that you are interested in. Sorry for any inconvenience caused by our cancelation process! The only reason we ask customers to contact us for the cancelation process is to gather data about what in their experience caused them to want to cancel their subscription. And if there is anything we could've done better. If you haven't heard from us yet, feel free to DM us via Instagram, and we'll make sure to resolve everything for you. Thank you!
I es hesitant on signing up again for this subscription. But I continued to receive the "we miss you type of email" I decided to give this another tried BIG MISTAKE I resubscribed but NEVER received my first perfume and the second, who knows if will ever make it. I contacted them and they took forever to reply. Very apologetic and all but they did not refunded me or resent the product. I'm pretty sure they used my old address they got on file despite me updating it on the site… As other people had said here is not a good business please estay away!
Sorry to hear about the negative impression of our service that you have, Giovanna. Rest assured that we always send all of our customers' orders. In case if they don't receive their orders for some reason, we're always open to assisting them to track these orders down and help them further. Customers just need to contact us by DMing us via Instagram or sending an email directly to support@scentbird.com. And our Team is always here to assist!
This is my first time leaving a bad review for ANYTHING in the world! I am not a negative person and I always like to give people chances, but my experience has been highly unacceptable! I started scentbird with high hopes, and for starters, everything was fine! The fragrances were great, the price was acceptable (18$), and it came on time. BUT THEN CAME THE NEXT MONTH, and let me tell you... This was the worst shopping experience I have had in a long time. This month, I now pay 35$ and I tried contacting them (btw this company has no phone number which is really weird) by email and... once again was stunned. They ignored my questions about the price and told me basically to unsubscribe, but they didn't give me my money back when I unsubscribed. PLUS unsubscribing is really hard, and they try to trick you into 'taking a break' which stops your subscription for a month or two or three depending on your choice. This means that your subscription will recommence once those months are over. So... overall rating... WORST. CUSTOMER. SERVICE. EVER.
Hi Bianca, please accept our deepest apologies for taking too long to get back to you. This time of the year tends to get very busy even for the nimblest of birds! It looks like our automatic bot provided you with a cancelation instruction. Kindly note that subscription cancelation doesn't automatically cancel the processing order. Please make sure any changes to your account, including the cancelation, are submitted at least one (1) day prior to your scheduled billing date. This ensures the changes apply to the upcoming month and not the next. Oh no.our cancellation process isn't meant to be tedious or difficult. We do ask our subscribers why they wish to cancel their subscriptions, only to see if there is anything we could rectify. You can email support@scentbird.com & we’ll be glad to help out & assist you further!
They have no issue taking your money and not sending products. I have tracking number over a week old but each carrier says they haven't even received shipment. Customer service refuses to respond to my emails. Wouldn't waste your money.
Hi Christopher, so sorry to see that your experience with us wasn't as great as it could've been! Rest assured that we always send out all orders that customers pay for. It looks like our Agent Aliona updated you regarding your order and it was marked as delivered on March 5th. In case you didn't receive something you were supposed to, please contact us via support@scentbird.com & we'll track down your order. Kindly note, that if the order got lost, we're always happy to send replacements! Hope this helps to clarify!

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 Rose, so sorry you didn't like our new atomizers! We totally understand that this change may be frustrating but we will take this as feedback and pass it to the Team. Since we launched in 2014, we have had the same packaging. And while we still love it, we felt a little facelift was in order. Thus, the new look and feel of the new Scentbird. We're working on every point customers have raised regarding the atomizers: cases are being improved to be more durable, with stronger magnets and higher quality; spritzers are being improved to be more functional as well. We want to thank you for your patience with us during the process!
