Fraudulent, unethical practices
Scentmatchers is a fraud. It is a Michigan-based, mom-and-pop scam. They have an F rating (on a scale of A+ to F) at the Western Michigan Better Business Bureau. BEWARE: they claim to match any existing or discontinued fragrance. The internet is rife with harsh criticism and complaints of their operation.

After extensive delays in sending it in the first place, the fragrance they finally send you will smell NOTHING like the fragrance you ordered. It smells awful, in fact. They make no effort to recreate the fragrance you actually order and for which you spend upwards of $60 plus sometimes hefty shipping costs. If you return it, as per their refund policy, they deny ever receiving it, even if you have proof that they have through the tracking number.

They have refused to address any of the specific complaints I've mentioned in our email exchanges, going so far as to tell me, basically, to get a life. Telling off a disgruntled customer, whereas they're the ones ripping innocent people off, amidst an unprecedented economic crisis is, in my book, shockingly unethical. These people need to be stopped, if not arrested for scamming hundreds if not thousands of people.

Bogus products
I'm so glad I read other complaints about Scentmatchers. They saved me at least $70. I was about to order some discontined fragrances they claimed to be able to duplicate (dupe for short.)

It was amazing that they could match anything, including the bogus cologne

they were willing to charge me $69 for "Boogey Boogey Boogey" by Tool Box.

Wow, and they didn't even need for me to send a sample.

Apparently this outfit has ripped off and dissappointed many.Reading some of these experiences is is heartbreaking.These guys need to be stopped and prosecuted. I was lucky.

dont back up their gaurantee
couldn't find a fragrance that my daughter loved. Had no idea what it was. It was an unmarked bottle. Found this company that claims it can reproduce a fragrance 99% of the time. Was excited. They told me via email to mail the bottle with $66. and they will even put a design and name it whatever you want because fragrances cannot be copywrited. They cashed my ck Jan 11, 2010. I started doubting what I did. Looked them up on BBB. I knew I was beat. They had so many complaints. I chased them via email (they dont answer phones or return you phone calls) finally got an apology that fragrance will be mail by March 15, 2010. I got it March 24th. It was a plain bottle with no name or logo and had a urine/floral-powdery scent and arrived with no packing slip, order form...nothing. I email my dissatisfaction on March 24, 2010. they didn't reply. I emailed again April 11. they appologized again and said mail it back. I sent it delivery confirmation. the post office said it was delivered on April 19th. Email again May 12th. no reply. emailed again May 20 and offered the tracking #. This time they responded. I was told that they did not need the tracking#, it was an oversight on their part, they are sorry, and would process the refund immed. never got it. emailed again july 8. no answer. emailed again Aug. 18. no answer. Now they are claiming they want a tracking number. the post office only leaves it available for 60 days and then archives it. after a total of 180 days its practically impossible to resurrect it. Now they are giving a run around, saying its to old to claim a refund and I will need to prove the return with a tracking #. I did give it to them but its useless. they ignore you until they know its to late to prove the return by tracking. I reported it to BBB but they are really useless. I just want everyone to know they dont deliver and dont stand by their guarantee.

Bene colonge by Ben Rickerts
Just received shipment #3192176829, from ScentMatchers for "Bene Cologne by Ben Rickerts, this date
10/13/10, I still have an ole bottle of the original colonge. What was sent to me does not even come close to the original scent, have called ScentMatchers toll free number and left message for information on returning this product that I'm not happy with. When I placed the order...ScentMatchers stated that they could match it...What I received it not the same. Looking for someone to contact me on this complaint...Jerry England
Should Have Checked January 25, 2010
RIP OFF
I am doing you a favor by telling you STAY AWAY from this company. I wish I had checked out complaints first rather than after the fact.


The "testimonial" on their own website about them duplicating the fragrance of exhaust should have been enough warning for me. That's what my "matched" fragrance smelled like. Nothing at all like the fragrance I was going for, the fragrance they had in their library, the fragrance I didn't need to send a sample for. I am out $76.97, because silly me I ordered the lotion too.

I let them know by email it was the wrong scent and received an answer I could return the fragrance for a refund or another try to get the fragrance I wanted. I chose for them to attempt to do it over. SILLY ME, I thought it was just a mistake between two fragrances with similar names. I should have gone for the refund.


I asked for an update within the 30 days return period and did not receive an answer. It was during the holidays so I thought I would give them a break and wait until after Christmas. Another email inquiry resulted in their not being able to find my return or sample.


And guess what????? I'm now out of the 30 day window and they are refusing to do anything for me. It took 6 weeks to get the wrong fragrance, I wasn't concerned about the replacement fragrance until it was too late. I thought it was a small company, with nice helpful people. They would not leave me high and dry and out $76.97. I was wrong, at the end the customer "service" manager Rick was nasty and hostile.


I started thinking logically about the reasons for treating customers this way, there was no logic in it but then it occurred to me. Take peoples money, send them "something" in a bottle after six weeks time and make it nearly impossible for them to return it, Scentmatchers will win every time. They got my money, don't let them get yours.

Failure to refund/credit account
I am sorry to join the growing mass of consumers who, in good faith, have placed orders with the Limited Liability Company known as Scentmatchers. This business, located in Reed City, Michigan and Cadillac, Michigan, also operates under several other names it considers 'sister' companies. If you read even one of the complaints filed about this fraudulant outfit, you have essentially read them all, as virtually all complaints say the same thing. This being that we've ordered the product; had it charged to our credit card immediately; heard nor rec'd anything until we inquired about our order; were reassured that the order was being filled, would ship shortly, was a difficult match; and generally stalled until the rediculous 30 day return limit was over; sent a defective product; and disallowed any refund. My order wasn't even shipped for almost 6 wks, after I placed it, during which time I repeatedly inquired about it. When the fragrance arrived and bore no resemblance to the scent I asked for, I wrote the company rep and expressed my disappointment, enclosing the note with the full contents of product in the original shipping box and returned it to the distributor's address and asked the company to credit my account. I heard nothing for several more weeks and when I again contacted them, I was given several excuses why they couldn't honor my request for a refund---- such as: We didn't receive the return: We gave you no authorization to return product; You didn't notify us that you were returning the product; yada-yada-yada. I obviously could not return by the 30 day limit an item that did not arrive for 6 weeks! Nowhere in the return policy does it state that one needs to notify the company of an impending return and nowhere does the company stipulate that they must authorize permission to return the item. Now, then, I have ALL correspondence between this company and myself, including the accusation from the company spokesperson that I was 'trying to take advantage of them' and the threat that if I informed my credit card company, Scentmatchers would then send this chargeback to a collection agency and ruin my credit for seven years. I know, too that the package was returned and delivered because I have all the documentation from USPS proving this fact. Incidentally---my husband and I were in Reed City, Michigan and drove to the Fribourg Dr. address thinking maybe we could speak with someone at the plant or such to resolve my problem and found that this address was that of a private home with some other name--not Scentmatchers--on the mailbox!!! Odd, don't you think?

At any rate, the outfit that claims to be a reputable business concern for many years and purports to have a vast number of happy lady customers is just plain dishonest and, in my book, predatory! They have my money and the faulty product---that is just WRONG! They have victimized me and many others with their crooked and misleading sales practices.

I feel it my duty to inform as many trusting consumers about my experience and warn them away from such unscrupulous con artists as Scentmatchers LLC. Don't be duped by Scentmatchers---aka Scentcrafters, and Scentnaturals . The outfit is slick, shady, and un-ethical! Stear clear!

complete scam!!
this company says their return policy is 30 days after purchase. they wait until well after 30 to send you your product from purchase date, send you a complete junk product, and then say you didn't return within 30 days. complete scam!!! don't order whatever you do!!!
