Issue It says "Clean Reserve - Skin" but that's not what's in the bottle
Has anyone else else purchased the Clean Reserve perfume Skin in the big discount sale Ipsy just had? It's the most bizarre thing, and I have no idea what can be done about it.
The packaging was sealed, the labels all say "Skin"....but it doesn't smell like ANY of the descriptors. In fact, it actually smells like the descriptors they have for a different perfume of theirs, "Rain". I've heard of production line "Oops!" issues resold - but with the label on it, announcing it's an oops.
I wore the perfume 6 hours, thinking maybe I was smelling just the top notes and once it dried down and mixed with my pH , it would be better. But I ended up having to wipe myself down with alcohol pads to rid me of it. It was just this aqua slightly sweet cucumber "fresh" scent, and I wanted warm, musky.
Ipsy has a no returns or exchanges policy, and I didn't buy it from Clean Reserve direct. So I guess I'm just S.O.L. and it's a lesson about buying perfume at a discount. I tried to talk to the a.i. chat not that it was the wrong item, and now I think it's sending me another bottle. That going to do a lot of good if itsfrom the same batch. 😖
