  On 5/8/25 I ordered a 3.3 oz bottle of Creed aventus; totaling to $395.85. FragranceX; was supposed to ship me a 3.3 oz bottle of Creed aventus. The nature of the dispute is that my bottle of cologne came broken. A almost $400 bottle of cologne came broken. I took plenty of pictures if what I recieved; how I recieved it; and the box it came in. Upon promptly messaging customer support about the issue they told me they can tell it was shipped to me in perfect condition. They are refusing any kind of help whatsoever on something so expensive. I will never be shopping here again and I advise others not to as well. They take youre money and if you have any problems with youre order they don't try and resolve them. STAY AWAY FROM THIS ***************

  Hello *******,

  Were sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
  
  We reviewed your order and the photos you sent. At the time of delivery, the shipping carrier captured a clear image of the package showing no visible damage or signs of leakage. We've attached that proof-of-delivery photo for your reference.
  
  The condition shown in your images is not consistent with the state of the package at delivery. Additionally, if a shipment is significantly damaged in transit, the carrier notifies us immediately to file a claim and dispose of the itemno such report was made in this case.
  
  Because of this, we're unfortunately unable to issue a refund or reshipment. We understand this isnt the outcome you were hoping for and sincerely apologize for the frustration this has caused.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

  FragranceX claims that the package had a clear picture taken of it but attached is the delivery photo. You can't even see the label in it let alone the bottom. It was soaking wet on the bottom; which i took pictures of everything. FragranceX has terrible customer support and are unwilling to work with they're customers to fix THEY'RE shipment issues. I'll be getting ahold of my financial institution today and let them handle this issue. This is absolutely ridiculous; and FragranceX should be ashamed of the way they treat they're customers; I dont recommend anyone shop from this store.

  Ordered Devotion Intense perfume on 3/30/25 and received item on 4/3/25. Bottle was clearly leaking before opening package. Inside of box had leaked contents. Contacted Fragrancex and was told to send photos or videos. I sent a video of box it was delivered in and packing slip with leakage. Spoke with Von. Was told to open perfume box even after seeing saturation in video. Sent that video to them and wore gloves so it wouldnt get all over my hands. They can clearly see in the videos that a significant amount of the perfume leaked from the bottle. I attached photos instead of videos for this complaint because it wouldnt allow video upload. My apartment is still wreaking of overpowering fragrance. Received an email offering a $12.00 refund. When I refused, they requested return of the item. Im appalled at their customer service. Spoke with an extremely rude person today. The perfume is in the trash. Im not keeping a leaking bottle thats already overpowering in my apartment. I wouldnt advise anyone to purchase from this company. I want a full refund for this item.

  Hello *****,
  
  Were very sorry to hear about the condition in which your order was received. We understand how frustrating it can be to receive a leaking item, and we appreciate the photos and videos you provided.
  
  After reviewing the materials, the fragrance appeared to be partially leaked but not in an unusable condition. In such cases, and in accordance with our return policy, customers are asked to return the item in order to receive a full refund. We were informed that the item was discarded, which unfortunately prevents us from processing a full refund. As part of our damaged items policy, we do require that all products be retained for at least five business days following the damage report so we can proceed with proper resolution.
  
  We appreciate your understanding and thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

  Ordered several items within this month on March, 2015. Order number is #******** One of the items was a Cartier perfume, Baiser Vole. When I opened the item: first of all the packaging inside the box, the cardboard, was damaged. I sprayed a small amount and the scent was FAR FROM what this perfume smells like. I have been using the real perfume since it came out vin 2011. In fact, I still have another bottle that I have been using with little left in it, bought at duty free, and the scent of the one FragranceX sent is nowhere near the scent of this perfume. It is clearly a copy that smells nothing like the original. The real item is pinkish, while theirs is green and smells NOTHING like the real one. It has an unpleasant odour. I reported the problem to Klarna, the payment service through which I placed the payment, and notified them that I wont be paying for this item unless FragranceX pays for the postage and customs charges for my return. I have the pictures of the damaged package and then perfume bottle with green liquid. I asked for a refund for this item and the payment of the return and customs costs so that I could send the item back to **, *** (FROM ******). I was refused a return fare, saying I should pay for return and customs charges. I have been buying perfume from FragranceX for some time now, and this was a really disappointing experience. I kept writing back, asking for the return fare to be covered and keep receiving answers that they cannot accept that their item is a counterfeit and that I should pay for the return fee and customs. I have never encountered such rude customer service responses before, from any other business. In the pictures, I also include a photo of the the smaller bottle of the perfume I have, bought at duty free, next to the counte3rfeit FragranceX sent me. The real item is pinkish, while theirs is green and smells NOTHING like the real one.

  Hello ******,
  
  Were sorry to hear you were disappointed with your recent purchase. Please be assured that all products sold by FragranceX are 100% authentic, brand-name items sourced from authorized and reputable distributors. We stand firmly behind the quality of the merchandise we offer.
  
  Its important to note that fragrance color can vary depending on factors such as batch variation, age, and storage conditions. These variations do not impact the authenticity or quality of the fragrance. Additionally, while we understand your concerns regarding the return process, we currently do not offer pre-paid return labels for shipments originating from your country. As such, international returns must be shipped back at the customers expense unless the product is received in an unusable condition.
  
  We appreciate your continued support and thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.

  Hello,Attached you will find a screenshot of the email I sent to this business after they sent me a counterfeit product. Aside from the fact the product smelled NOTHING like the original product, which I have purchased previously, I also provided several packaging differences which prove its counterfeit nature. I also included a link to the website which features all of these facts. They provided me with a canned response and denied any possibility their buyer could have mistakenly purchased a bunk lot numerous times. The most they offered in any sort of customer service sense was that they were sorry I "felt" this way. I responded telling them it had nothing to do with feelings, but only to do with facts. Besides the terrible customer service, they are falsely advertising 100% genuine products, this is false and they should not be able to use this on their website. I'm seeing from the many other complaints I'm not the only one to have experienced this

  Hello ******,
  
  Were very sorry to hear you were dissatisfied with the fragrance you received.

  According to our records, a pre-paid return label was issued to you so the item could be returned at no cost. We have confirmed that your return was received, and a full refund was processed to your original form of payment on March 12th, 2025.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

  I discovered this product at an original, genuine ** ****** counter in ********* and obtained a tester. I then previously purchased a full sized product. After obtaining the recent order from FragranceX.com, the product sent me smelled NOTHING like the original fragrance. FragranceX.com refuses to admit any fault, but the proof is in the pudding. Aside from the product smelling nothing like the original, there were several discrepancies in packaging, and the bottle of fragrance and cap were off as well from the original which I pointed out. They refuse to even fathom that they could have sold anything counterfeit but it's hyper evident that they have regardless. Just because they refunded the product does not mean they are ripping off many people. I will again reference the obvious bots they use to boost their rating online and have turned off ratings/comments. Their 1.8 star rating in ********* speaks to the reality of how they operate.

  Dear Better Business Bureau,I am writing to formally file a complaint against **************** due to ongoing issues with their shipping process and customer service. I placed an order with them on 01/15/2025, and despite their stated shipping timeframes, my order has been significantly delayed.After multiple attempts to contact their customer service department, I have received either no response or unhelpful, generic replies that do not address my concerns. Each time I reach out, I am given vague information about my order status, and no real effort has been made to resolve the issue.I have requested either an immediate shipment of my order or a full refund, but neither has been provided. Their lack of communication and failure to uphold their shipping policies have caused unnecessary frustration and inconvenience.I would appreciate the BBBs assistance in holding **************** accountable for their poor service and ensuring that customers receive the products they pay for in a timely manner.Thank you for your time and help in resolving this matter.Sincerely,*** *****

  Hello ***,

  We sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience you have experienced with your order.  After reviewing your case, we found that the delay was caused by an incomplete shipping address at the time of purchasespecifically, the apartment number was missing. This prevented the carrier from completing the delivery within the expected timeframe.  

  I completely understand how frustrating this has been for you, and I want to assure you that we take your concerns seriously. To resolve this matter, a full refund in the amount of $88.69 USD has been issued today, March 25th, 2025 to your original payment method. Depending on your financial institution, this refund can take anywhere from 1-5 business days (excluding weekends and holidays).

  Thank you for understanding.

  If you have any further questions or need assistance, please dont hesitate to reach out.

  Hello ********,
  
  Thank you for reaching out and bringing this to our attention. We sincerely apologize for any confusion or frustration caused by this experience.  
  
  Upon reviewing your order, we can confirm that your order was canceled, and a full refund in the amount of $26.92 USD was credited back to your original form of payment on February 3, 2025. Please note that depending on your financial institution, it may take 15 business days (excluding weekends and holidays) for this refund to appear in your account.  
  
  Regarding the additional charge of $39.96 USD, we can assure you that this was not a separate transaction but rather a pending authorization resulting from a failed order attempt. Pending authorizations are temporary holds that are not actual charges. These typically fall off your account within 110 business days, depending on your banks policies.  
  
  We recommend monitoring your account over the next few days, as the authorization should disappear automatically. If you continue to see the pending amount beyond that timeframe, we encourage you to contact your bank for further assistance.  
  
  We truly appreciate your patience and understanding. If you have any additional questions or need further clarification, please feel free to reach out.

  We have used FragranceX dropshipping service through ******** platform and we have purchased more than 200 **** ***** Brand Fragrances for our customers. Some of our customers received inauthentic and damaged products that raised the question of authenticity. We have been asked by an Online marketplace to verify the product authenticity by providing them any document that shows the FragranceX as authorized distributor, retailers or resellers of brand products. We have requested same documents and their assistance to resolve the Business issue through ******** but both FragranceX and their dropshipper not provided the same documents. So this negative behaviour of this Business (FragranceX) shows that they are selling replica, fake fragrances through their website. We can provide you additonal information if you need.

  Business Response

  Date: 02/10/2025

  Hello *******
  
  Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We take customer concerns regarding product authenticity very seriously and want to address each of the points youve raised.  
  
  First and foremost, please rest assured that all products sold on ************** are 100% genuine, brand-name items. We do not sell replicas, fakes, or counterfeit products under any circumstances. We stand by the quality and authenticity of our inventory and have built our reputation on providing authentic fragrances.  
  
  Regarding your concern about products purchased through the ******** platform, it is important to note that these purchases were not made directly from FragranceX. Since the products were obtained through a third-party company, we are unable to verify the specific supply chain details or documentation associated with those orders. We recommend contacting ******** or the seller from whom the fragrances were purchased to address your request for supporting documentation.  
  
  Additionally, while FragranceX provides inventory to various third-party companies, these companies may also source products from multiple suppliers. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that all inventory listed on their platforms comes directly from us. This can sometimes lead to confusion, but we are happy to assist in clarifying any concerns within the scope of purchases made directly from FragranceX.  
  
  We truly value your business and understand how important it is to maintain trust with your customers. If you have further questions or need additional clarification, please dont hesitate to reach out.  
  
  Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

   We have purchased fragrances through Doba from FragranceX. We have invoices that has been issued and it clearly says "FragranceX" is a seller of that fragrances. Doba dont take or buy any inventory or anything, we have reached to them, they have also provided us some documents issued from your good office. 

  Doba confirmed that they have processed our orders from FragranceX officially and it is now responsibility of FragranceX to prove the authenticity of products as required by Amazon Team. 

  FragranceX supplier team failed to prove the authenticity of products, as Business prove authenticity of different brands or products through its supply chain documents or valid manufacturer invoices.

  We have also reached out to Brand that is being sold by FragranceX, The specific brand confirmed that FragranceX is not authorized distributor, dealer or supplier or retailers of their products.

  We have all communication history with that specific brand.

  So we are seeking any authentic document that shows the source of products is valid or not. FragranceX have to provide any evidence to subsentiate its claim.

  Hello *******

  FragranceX guarantees that all products we sell directly are 100% authentic. However, as your purchase was made through ****, we cannot verify the specific supply chain details or provide supporting documentation for that transaction. ****, as a third-party platform, sources inventory from multiple suppliers, and any verification should be obtained directly through them.

  While we acknowledge that some brands enforce strict distribution policies, not being an "authorized distributor" does not mean products are inauthentic. Our products are sourced from reputable industry suppliers.

  For any further documentation required by ******, we recommend continuing to work with ****, as they facilitated your order. Please let us know if you need any clarification regarding FragranceXs standard sourcing practices.

  I ordered from FragranceX a Christmas gift for my significant other. 3 perfumes. I ordered on 12/16/24 expecting my items to arrive before Christmas and to my surprise, I received an email saying that they were delivered while I was at work on December 20th, 2024. Upon going to retrieve my items around 3:30pm which is when I arrive home from work, I was unable to locate my items. I promptly contacted FragranceX a few days later when they still did not show up as Christmas was approaching fast. I chatted with ******* via chat who was unable to help me at all with a replacement or refund of my purchase. I ended up going to the store to purchase different perfume for my wife since I was out of time and they refused to reship or refund me. At this point, I would like a refund. All the company did was show me a picture of my tracking info and refused to even help file a claim with *** to rectify the situation. They want ME to file a claim on my own when I am not the one who is selling the items.

   The business claims they arent responsible for ensuring the items they sell to people actually arrive to them. Makes sensenot. I am giving your company money to buy a product. I expect once I pay you to receive said product. If the item never arrives to me, how is it my responsibility to file a claim with the shipping carrier? This logic makes zero sense whatsoever. I want a refund since your company cares so little about their customers.
