Beware! This is not an honest business.

I purchased several perfumes during Scentora’s Black Friday promotion after the website stated that the products were original branded perfumes, sold as parallel imports and packaged in original sealed boxes with only possible minor cosmetic imperfections. Unfortunately, what I received was completely inconsistent with those claims. From the moment the boxes were opened, there was a strong plastic/chemical smell that is not present with authentic designer fragrances. The issues with the individual products were serious: • Diesel Aftershave: The scent was overwhelmingly like black pepper and nothing like the original fragrance. The bottle was damaged, the side label appeared melted and glued on, and the lid engraving was blurry and incorrect. • Alien Perfume: Smelled strongly soapy and nothing like the genuine scent. The gold section of the lid was loose, which should not happen on an authentic bottle. • Valentino Perfume: The lid colour was completely wrong compared to the original product. • YSL Perfume: The liquid was orange-pink instead of the correct pink colour, the packaging smelled terrible, and the QR codes on the box did not work. None of the fragrances lasted longer than about 30 minutes, which is far below what you would expect from genuine designer perfumes. I also found the website’s “recent purchaser” pop-ups extremely concerning. The same names repeatedly appear at different times, creating what seems to be a false impression of high sales activity. This feels misleading and damages trust even further. Overall, the products I received do not match how they are described on the website in terms of scent, packaging quality, bottle design, or authenticity. Based on my experience, I would strongly caution others before purchasing.
