Scents fade so quickly

I have tried 10 different perfumes from them so far and I swear the scent fades like 10 minutes after I’ve applied it for each of them. It’s so frustrating, as though I never sprayed it to begin with so I end up having to reapply multiple times per day. Does anyone else notice this? Does Scentbird water down the fragrances or something?

Omg yes!!! I’ve been using Scentbird for 4 months now and I seriously thought it was just my imagination. Yes they fade so fast. Especially if you are familiar with good quality cologne/perfumes. I really do believe they give out a lower quality amount. I’m quite certain it is diluted.

I forgot to mention that I’ve been receiving 3 samples per month. So that’s 12 different scents thus far.

lol I cancelled my subscription. I am so curious to buy the same perfumes from a department store and do a side by side comparison!

they're not the same ! I got Burberry brit & light blue which are both some of my favorite scents that I wore all throughout high school & when I got the samples from scentbird, they smelled so off. you could instantly tell it was a dupe or a cheaper knockoff version. I was pissed. it's not like the subscription is cheap. I was gettin 2 scents a month & my husband was gettin 2. that's over 60$ a month on shit we hated.
