Mixed satisfaction with out of market perfumes

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I remember when this company stood by their products and customer service was important. When COVID 19 hit, I received an email that their shop was closing down as they were not an important industry.

I dug around on the web and found this site. I did place an order, but the perfume smelled like the original. I have been leery of using this site since I began reading bad reviews. How sad that what was once a successful cottage industry is now a shadow of its original.

No I dont want to purchase anymore of their products, and I dont recommend them to others. Abby S

The scent is nice and I will keep it but after it is applied the scent disappears. It may not be exactly like Toccara but it is nice.

I just wish it lasted because its like you have no cologne on at all. No I would not recommend

Good Morning. I was never a PO’d customer.lol The three samples that you sent me to try are equally as nice.

I think the first one lasts the longest. None of them last very long. But they do smell nice.

You tried your best. Thank you.Gay Rose

Original review Nov 19, 2020

Hello. This was my first time in ordering from you.

I ordered the remake or your Midnight flowers by Avon

fragrance. I still have some of the original and I have to say that what I got was not close to what I was looking for. The perfume is not bad, Its just something that I don't use. I appreciate the effort you made, and if you need, I can give you the ingredients listed on the bottle.

I was hoping that it would be close because I love the Midnight Flowers. Just a little disappointed.

Thanks for Trying, and have a nice day! -Shannon G.

I am getting ready to reorder. We had the BEST experience with Scentmatchers!!!

I am getting ready to reorder. We had the BEST experience with Scentmatchers!!!

As you can see my wife went through the 1st bottle and is almost two-thirds way through the second. They are not a scam!!

The first time they got the scent wrong. So we called and they tried again. The 2nd time they got it almost perfectly. Now if you didn't give them a chance to correct the order, that's on you.

When you order you are told point blank that they won't refund money period. What they will do is try twice to get it right for you. They corrected our order and would correct yours too given the chance I'm sure. They have to receive reimbursement for the work they do, these are scientists who are working on your orders.

What they do is truly unique and not the easiest process. Like I said they say right up front they cannot refund your order. So if you had a problem on the 1st order, my advice is give them a chance to correct it or ask for a different perfume maybe on the second try. We got 2 bottles of good smelling perfume the 1st time.

The 2nd time we got 2 bottles of the scent we wanted. We are very, very happy returning customers!!!!

Here is what I got back from Scentmatchers: Greetings from Scentmatchers! We are very sorry that our reproduction of Interlude by Frances Denney fragrance did not live up to your expectations, our scent experts did their best.

We strive to satisfy our customers and sometimes fail. Unfortunately we do not offer refund or remake option as per our policy below: We cannot re-use the fragrance for health and sanitary reasons, therefore we cannot accept returns for refund on our fragrances for any reason. Please understand that by ordering you will likely be able to get your favorite fragrance again, but if you are not happy a refund is not available. Again we are very sorry for any disappointment we have caused.

Thank you for being our customer. Best Regards, Susan Johnson Customer Service Manager Scentmatchers.com Brilliant Enterprises LLC So, do you work for Scentmatchers?

No, they are now focusing on their new scam company called Level Up Mushrooms. They tried to scam me for more than $70 but I fought and got my money back.

They were incredibly disrespectful & arrogant in their emails to me. They refuse to speak to you on the phone; even outright told me they do not return phone calls. "Not their job".

Stay away from ANY company that is owned by Brilliant Enterprises LLC in Gaylord, MI. ALL SCAMS!!!

Awful smell, half full cheap bottle

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Scentmatchers are the worst company I have ver dealt with., ALSO PAYPAL HAS GOTTEN awful, I dispute it as not being what I ordered , they (PayPal) WAS 'STRUCTERLY 'THE SAME SO THEY CANT REFUND, I TOLD THEM WATER IS A MASON JAR WOULD BE STRUCTERLY THE SAME, I am still fighting it out to get my money back from paypal credit,. They had given me a credit and then Scentmatchers sent them a tracking number where it was delivered and they charged me again, I told them I never said I did nit get the package, I said it was not what I ordered, not even close.

You would think Papal would stop this and discontinue them as merchant, But after years of being a fair company, now they always side with the vendors/ Has anyone else had this problem?

I think Scentmatchers has one large gallon jug of old Evening in Paris perfume and just pours it in the cheap tacky bottles and sends it out,. There is no lab, just a house and con artists.

Do not buy products from ScentMatchers

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

While looking for a replica of my wife's Interlude, I was sent to Scentmatchers from Fragrance.net. My daughter and wife have good noses and said it is not interlude.

My wife says it has undertones which she cannot handle, or she will get sick.

Unfortunately, I found their return policy too late.

I also noticed that the order notification said if there were any problems to please notify them, but the phone numbers and website under that statement were left blank.

I am going to notify Fragrance.net, which sent me to your website and am hereby joining all of you customers who have been truly disgusted with their product.

I sent them an e-mail, but the way I have been treated, I dont expect a reply. Maybe they will surprise me.

I have never heard of them but I now have a pending transaction of $39.99, that I did not make nor authorized to be made. I am not sure what is going on but it makes me wanna cry And my poor children

ScentMatchers - I have never heard of them but I now have a pending transaction of...

I have never heard of you guys and there is a pending transaction on my account. I have never ordered from there and only know about you guys because of this transaction that was not authorized by me, who is the cardholder.

Like how do you have my account information in the first place? And if i do not receive my money back i will make sure that somebody is charged! I have groups and pages on Facebook with over 100k members and will get you guys shut down! I know I am being a little aggressive but how would you feel, as my family and I already struggle to make ends meet.

Smh. Please do your part and make this right. I am also friends with newscasters and will make a story of this.. think i am bluffing?

Well you can very easily look it up online of the interviews that i have had personally and other stories that I helped to get told. Very hurt about this for that was to feed my children and i just want to cry.

I wont let this go until I am refunded my money! They are "Brilliant Enterprises Lgaylord" on the picture attached to this.

Hey, just wanted to let everybody know that the charge was reversed and I got pissed that they were scamming people so I went on google and found their business. I took over their google business page and will be posting all over it that they are some scammers and to hopefully stop anybody from giving their card numbers to them.

Google sent me a card with a verification code and i get it in 5 days and then ill be exposing them to all their customers. *** them

Stay away!! Not even close

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
ScentMatchers - Stay away!! Not even close

If you decide to go against all the many bad reviews (like I did), at least pay with a credit card rather than debit card because you will most likely need to dispute the charges. Order took about a month to receive.

Emails were generally answered in about 5-7 days. I ordered a perfume that was on their list of perfumes that “they have successfully duplicated”. What I actually received was a bottle of what smelled like nasty old perfume you used to find in dollar stores. The only good thing about the order was it at least shipped in the bottle I ordered.

They say if you are not satisfied they will attempt up to three more times to duplicate your scent and if you were still not satisfied THEN they would refund you no questions asked. I got as far as requesting a second attempt and then nothing. Regarding the second attempt, the person who was emailing me was asking me to tell them which direction to go for the scent. As in more or less of certain scents.

I told them it was so far off that I didn’t know and that was their job since they were the experts and supposedly already successfully recreated the particular scent I ordered (Abercrombie & Fitch original). I emailed a few weeks later and after about a week of waiting they told me my duplicate wasn’t yet made. I asked for a refund and no one would respond.

I ended up opening a dispute with PayPal since I used my paypal card for purchase and got all my money back. Just beware that this company will stage their feet in responding so pay attention to dates for disputing purposes.

Agreed! I had a similar experience.

My perfume was disgusting. So much so that it made me nauseous and I had a hard time washing it off. They wouldn't refund me, but I disputed the charge through Paypal and they refunded me.

Paypal ROCKS. Live and learn

Total fraud - don't go near them.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Total scam. Do your homework and read the reviews on every site you can find.

They promise to match a scent - but, they don't.

Not even close. This is a complete fraud.

Look into all of the businesses owned by Angela Lynn Schultz and Adam Lawrence Schultz. You will see this is a pattern. And they are making a fortune committing this fraud.

Owning and showing horses is expensive, but they seem to do just fine with trips around the world, etc. Forty acres of land and an 8100 square foot house with 8 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms - all on a lineman's salary.

Next letter for the Michigan Attorney General and Form 3949-A to the IRS.

They won't even try to remake it with a sample or the original perfume!
