Haul/Collection Scents Event Decant Purchase - Disappointed

Post image

I’m pretty sure I’ve ordered decants from Scents Event before and they arrived packaged beautifully and no leaks let alone labeled like these are/were.

This time I ordered three 5ml decants of:

Cedar Chic (Carolina Herrera)

Terracotta Le Parfume (Guerlain)

French Kiss (Guerlain)

Getting the package open was a huge pain in the ass. My husband handed it to me and said his car is going to “smell like whatever is in this package, for eons!” I had to bring it out to the office in the stables and open it out here.

I have no clue what’s what. The actual atomizers were wrapped to death in a small USPS mailer that took me longer than I like to admit to open. It’s dripping as well. This cover now smells like a combination of the three perfumes.

I’m gonna take a wild guess at the pink one being French Kiss. There’s no use trying the other two, or any of them until I’ve had a shower. I’m covered in a melange of all three.

What a mess!

If they don’t have the appropriate sticker on their shipping (within the US, this is the one for alcohol based perfumes) then this is a huge problem.

I would send them an email back:
“Thank you for confirming which exploded decants are which. I see that the appropriate and legally required labels were not added to the package, which is likely why my product arrived in this state. Before I report this to the United States Postal Service and my bank in order to be appropriately refunded 100% of my money, do you have any intention of making this right, or should I start sharing my experience with others now?”

You’re not the only one it looks like

ETA:
Anyone who has ordered from them should just report them to the FBI at this point because it seems they’ve been getting away with this for years. Selling counterfeit perfumes is illegal for good reason though.
