How scent.to works
A fully authenticated, end-to-end marketplace for buying and selling pre-loved fragrances. Safe for both sides.
For buyers
Step 1
Find your fragrance
Browse our verified listings, filter by brand, condition, concentration, and price. Every bottle on scent.to has already been authenticated.
Step 2
Place your order
Pay securely. Funds are held in escrow — we only release payment to the seller once you receive your bottle.
Step 3
We ship to you
Your bottle is carefully packed and shipped from our authentication centre. Full insurance included.
Step 4
Receive & enjoy
Unbox your purchase. If anything doesn't match the listing, contact us within 48 hours for a full refund.
For sellers
Step 1
List your bottle
Fill in a short form: brand, name, concentration, fill level, condition, and your asking price. Takes about 3 minutes.
Step 2
Ship it to us
We email you a prepaid label — no cost to you. Drop the bottle at any courier point. That's it for your part.
Step 3
We authenticate
Our team inspects every bottle: batch code lookup, fill level verification, bottle integrity, spray mechanism, and packaging check.
Step 4
Get paid
Once your listing sells, funds hit your bank account within 2 business days. We keep 12% — no hidden fees.
Our authentication process
Every bottle passes a multi-point inspection before reaching a buyer.
Batch code verification
We decode and cross-reference the batch code against known production data to confirm authenticity and production date.
Fill level check
We measure the actual fill level using a graduated scale and compare it to what the seller declared.
Bottle integrity
We inspect for cracks, leaks, tampered seals, replaced caps, re-filled bottles, and counterfeit packaging.
Liquid verification
We verify the liquid inside the bottle for authenticity to ensure the fragrance matches the original scent characteristics expected from the genuine product.
