Are there any restrictions on shipping perfume?

Scento ships perfume decants safely and legally across Europe. Our sample sizes (0.75ml to 8ml) comply with all shipping regulations for fragrance products.

How We Ship Perfume Safely

All Scento orders are:

  • Properly classified as consumer fragrance samples

  • Safely packaged with leak-proof seals and protective materials

  • Fully compliant with EU shipping regulations for perfume products

  • Shipped via ground transport through trusted carriers (DPD, DHL, UPS)

Why Our Sizes Work for Shipping

Commercial carriers have strict rules about shipping alcohol-containing liquids. Our decant sizes are designed to fall within acceptable limits:

Size

Volume

Shipping Status

0.75ml

Less than 1ml

Fully compliant

2ml

2ml

Fully compliant

8ml

8ml

Fully compliant

These small volumes qualify as "limited quantities" under transport regulations, allowing safe ground shipping.

Do You Ship by Air?

All Scento orders ship via ground transport within Europe. We do not use air freight for fragrance products, which:

  • Avoids stricter air cargo regulations

  • Ensures reliable delivery without restrictions

  • Keeps shipping costs low

Ground shipping still provides delivery within 2-5 business days for most EU destinations.

Is My Package Safe in Transit?

Yes. Each order is:

  • Individually wrapped to prevent leakage

  • Cushioned with protective packaging

  • Sealed in discreet, recyclable outer packaging

  • Labeled correctly for carrier handling

We've shipped hundreds of thousands of fragrance decants without issue.

Countries With Shipping Restrictions

Currently, we can ship perfume products to all EU countries without restriction. We do not ship to:

  • Countries with import bans on alcohol-based products

  • Countries outside Europe (due to international air cargo restrictions)
