The full picture
How do the catalogues and prices compare?
Fragrant World is an established decant shop with a designer-and-niche range; for popular houses like Creed, decants sit around €5.25–8.50. Scento runs a 200-brand roster spanning over 1,000 fragrances and more than 87 houses. If you're after a specific Creed decant at a known price, check Fragrant World's listing; if you want breadth and to browse many houses in one place, Scento's catalogue is wider.
Are both authentic, and how is that shown?
Yes — both state their decants are 100% genuine and poured from original bottles, and neither sells dupes. The difference is how you verify it. Scento prints the batch code on the decant label and on your order page and adds a non-affiliation notice on protected brands, so you can decode the production date yourself. Fragrant World states a genuine, poured-from-the-original-bottle sourcing on its about page.
Which is better for EU delivery?
Fragrant World ships worldwide from Portugal, which is handy if you're outside the EU or want a Portugal-based shop. Scento ships from the EU with free shipping over €75 and typically 1–5 business days, so EU buyers avoid customs and usually get faster transit. Choose based on where you are and how quickly you need it.
Who is each shop best for?
Choose Fragrant World if you want a long-standing, Portugal-based shop that ships worldwide, or a specific Creed decant at their listed price. Choose Scento if you want the 2/5/8 ml ladder with a refillable atomizer, batch codes printed on the label and the order page, a 200-brand roster spanning over 1,000 fragrances, and fast EU delivery.
