The fragrance in your atomiser is the genuine original. ### Original-bottle sourcing; the manufacturer code is not printed on the decant vial Each Scento decant is hand-poured from an original full-sized bottle sourced through authorised European retailers — never a clone, dupe or inspired-by version. Manufacturer batch codes belong to those original bottles and are not printed on Scento decant vials. ### Transparent, unaffiliated decanting Scento is an independent retailer, not affiliated with or endorsed by the fragrance houses it carries. Decanting authentic, lawfully purchased product for resale is a long-established practice and is stated clearly across the site. ### 30-day returns and real support Unopened items can be returned within 30 days, and a published support address handles incorrect or damaged orders. A scam site has no returns policy and no reachable support — Scento has both. ### A real operation serving 27 European markets Scento ships tracked orders to more than two dozen European countries, with a registered company, a Paris headquarters and a publicly known founder. It is a trading business with a verifiable presence. ### A 200-brand designer & niche sourcing roster Scento carries over 1,000 fragrances from designer and niche houses. The catalogue, prices and stock are all visible on the site before you buy — nothing is hidden behind a paywall or a subscription. ## How to verify a Scento decant yourself You don't have to take our word for it. These three practical checks help you assess a decant without treating any single signal as proof. 1. **Review the seller and its sourcing** Check that the seller is registered, publishes clear returns and support details, and explains its original-bottle sourcing. Scento's decants are filled from original full-sized bottles sourced through authorised European retailers. 2. **Check the vial and order details** Confirm that the fragrance name, size and traceable Scento label match your order. Manufacturer batch codes belong to the original full-sized bottles and are not printed on Scento decant vials, so a missing vial code is expected — not a failed check. 3. **Compare how the fragrance wears** Compare the opening, development and dry-down with a store tester or original bottle you know. Skin, storage and application can change performance, so scent alone is not proof; contact support if the fragrance or order details seem wrong.

Scento's reviews come from verified buyers and are published on its own site, so you can read them before you order. The checks behind them are countable too: every bottle passes a 12-point intake inspection before it is decanted — more than 50,000 bottles so far. And the founder, Sebastian Dobrincu, writes for Forbes and Entrepreneur under his own name.
