Are your fragrances 100% authentic?
Yes, absolutely. Every fragrance sold by Scento is 100% authentic, sourced from authorized distributors and official channels. We never sell imitations, knockoffs, or "inspired by" products.
Our Authenticity Guarantee
We guarantee that every fragrance you receive from Scento is:
Genuine - The exact same fragrance sold in department stores
Authorized - Purchased from licensed distributors
Unaltered - Not diluted or modified in any way
Fresh - Properly stored and handled
If you ever receive a fragrance that isn't genuine, we'll refund you in full - no questions asked.
How We Source Our Fragrances
Authorized Distributors
We purchase full-sized bottles directly from authorized fragrance distributors who supply major retailers across Europe.
Direct Relationships
For many brands, we maintain direct relationships with suppliers, ensuring we receive authentic products with full traceability.
Quality Verification
Every batch is verified for authenticity before being added to our inventory. We check packaging, batch codes, and fragrance quality.
Our Decanting Process
All decanting takes place in our ISO-certified facility in Romania:
Full bottles purchased from authorized sources
Quality inspection upon receipt
Climate-controlled storage (cool, dark environment)
Professional decanting using precision equipment
Sealed vials with tamper-evident closures
Labeled accurately with fragrance name and brand
How to Verify Authenticity
When you receive your Scento order:
Check the scent: Authentic fragrances have complex, evolving notes
Review performance: Genuine perfumes last 4-8+ hours on skin
Compare if possible: If you've worn the fragrance before, it should smell identical
Red Flags to Watch For (Not Scento!)
Be cautious of sellers who:
Sell at dramatically below-market prices
Use terms like "inspired by" or "type"
Don't disclose their sourcing
Have no return policy
Scento never engages in these practices.
Why Choose Decants Over Dupes?
Some sellers offer cheap "dupe" or "inspired by" fragrances. Here's why authentic decants are better:
Authentic Decant | Dupe/Imitation |
Identical to original | Similar but not the same |
Complex fragrance development | Often flat or one-dimensional |
6-12 hour longevity | Usually 1-3 hours |
High-quality ingredients | Synthetic substitutes |
Safe, tested formulas | Unknown formulations |

Frequently Asked Questions
How can decants be so affordable?
By purchasing in bulk and only selling what customers want (specific amounts, not full bottles), we offer premium fragrances at accessible prices. The fragrance itself is identical - you're just buying less of it.
Do you sell testers?
No. We only sell decants from full retail bottles purchased through authorized channels.
Are niche brands authentic too?
Yes. All brands in our collection - whether designer (Chanel, Dior) or niche (Tom Ford, Creed, Maison Francis Kurkdjian) - are 100% authentic.
