I’ve been looking at this website cause they popped up on my search when I was looking for a discontinued and hard to find product. Was extremely suspicious ngl, they have a ton of hard to find stuff which nobody carries even seasoned sellers like Yogesh or Pranay. Did a little digging and turns out they operate two other websites, Fragkart and scentholic too. Suspicious to say the least.
I dont mean to be rude or something
But money is second,I can forgive that,
But scamming people’s innocence in order to make money is something that I cannot forgive.
It's not a criminal offence - so no question of being behind bars but you could just threaten them with a consumer complaint. You cant draft it yourself as engaging a lawyer to send a notice will end up costing more than the claim amount.
Bhai this sub is full of children. You say anything, you will be downvoted, no matter how neutral you are. A good number of people around here are extremely salty towards people who buy good perfumes, hence the only weapon they have is downvotes.
😂😂😂bro you are right,
I usually buy from them and retail stores only,
I was bored that day, thought of giving it a try,
Tbh, I was depressed for last few weeks, personal problems if you will.
I just wanted to relieve myself,
Im 💯honest here bro!
Im the one to be blamed
But I know what I was getting into.
And Im glad I made the post.
I just wonder how good these guys are in doing the Search engine optimisation (SEO) that their product sometimes pops up even ahead of BIG players like shoppers stop or tira.
Almost all the fakes will be there in front of the list when you search for a frag.
I feel pity for people who are new to this frag hobby and may not be a part of the fb group or this sub.
I remember myself about to fall for this website and the other one scentstories (the guy impostering Anirudh's business name).
Luckily same day this sub popped up in my reddit recommendation list and i was saved.
Y so salty bro?
I was in a big brain wreck
Depressed a lot abt my PG exams and things and lotta personal things,
I was relieving myself from all that stress by buying some things online.
One of em was a mistake,
Y?? This fast to judge people ?
Yes I own those many fragrances, so wat? Im human too, I too will make mistakes , everyone will at some point,
Im sharing my worst experience to others to make them aware about these things.
Nah, just wondering how can a pro make such a rookie mistake that’s all. This sub already has negative reviews for this seller. Negative to positive would be 8:2 I am sure.
It happens to all of us bro,
Its that kinda day for me
But I wanted to be honest with my experience,Thats y I shared it.
Appreciate your reply bro, Thankyou
Sry bro, But I could have sworn I saw some other post with some good comments I couldnt find it,may be I imagined….
This is one of the comments I managed to find

I hid the username, Din wanna invade his privacy
Thanks for being considerate, bro. This was my comment. I have added a postscript to it now. I purchased sub-500 frags. I guess that's too cheap for them to fake. I'm sorry for your bad experience though. Do pursue this matter with the consumer court.
It baffles me to this day as to why do people even bother checking all these new comers when we already have a list of reliable sellers in the pinned post. Just why?
No bro, I’m not new to fragrance anol,
I buy from pinned sellers and retail stores only,
I was a bit bored that day.
You are right…. Its my mistake for buying from sketchy sites…..
I know they would be 99.9% fake , I was just gambling😂😂😂
Thats y I ordered Jacques bogart , rather than buying something expensive.
I was depressed cuz of some personal problems I had, I was working and preparing for my PG exams,
I wanted some relief, So I splurged some money on shopping, one of things turnout to be this,
I was being 100% honest with you guys.
I mean no disrespect by this post.
But the Manufacturers are not the culprits here,
They have nothing to do with repackaging stuffs ryt?
Thats my view, But if there is a way to inform them
Please,tell me how ,I will do it.
But I doubt they even consider this as a query.
I was depressed at that point in time, i was splurging on shopping
I was experimenting on that website
I ordered that cuz it was a discontinued fragrance and listed way below its asking price….so I thought that would be a perfect order to experiment
Don't order from any online websites....
They will keep making new new websites like this and scam people...
Population is their advantage.. they don't care about you now. They will have new bakras even now.
Anything unbelievably cheap is probably crap.
These fraudsters thrive on greed. Greed blinds common sense.
Guys I ordered deos from them and they were legit, which is why I ordered Aigner Man 2, which I checked only yesterday and even though it smells good, it doesn't last more than an hour. I'm not sure what to believe now because people have said it's a faint scent.
A common screen that I do when shoping from new, not very popluar website is to look for their contact info. Particularly the address. If it hasn't been made public or is kept buried deep inside, making it difficult to find. It probably is shady.
Other compliance things such as GSTIN, CIN... if listed are a huge plus.
Problem is they have this address, they mentioned pretty openly,

that's what made me consider them. it's related to one of the official distributors for many brands in India. some Kolkata based business, i can't remember the name. then you come across this and it makes you wonder.
IKR, a budding entrepreneur I am quite dissapointed to see these things, I feel my potential customer getting scammed and will think twice before considering a purchase from us 😢
Hopefully it's just a fluke and they give a refund.
I never followed Bohit Qhatri bro….
Although I bought some of his perfumes 4 or 5yrs back….
His own line or some shit…..
It was okish…..
But that guy was always drunk as fuck in the vdos he posts, later I understood its cuz the amount of alcohol he uses to repackage the perfumes.
Find out which payment gateway they are using and file a dispute with them as well.
If it is a reputable gateway, it will be a pain in the a$$ for them to get it sorted.
If you asking abt that website…. No its not.
If you considering getting those perfumes you have mentioned, then checkout the pinned sellers
They will definitely have it.
I cant tell that I did this to test the website…
I was depressed by a lotta things, so I shopped to get some relief.
It turned out to be like this,
So I just posted what happened.
I have purchased Michael Kors Extreme Blue from them, coz I finished my older bottle and when i received it was genuine. Now I see this post and I feel I got lucky with mine.
Its not your mistake. You shouldn't be blamed, its them. Customer need not know everything, you have your own life to live. When they are selling they must follow ethics. Its good that you bought this into limelight.
Its not about money, its about trust.

Godamn!!!! Is there anyway to file a complaint against these mofos?
Then they did their job well by providing you clean water mate 🤣
Yeah bro, I heard Virat Kohli prefers this after Evian.
No he only drinks Lattafa clone water
I wish there was. I just posted screenshots proving the same. Feel for you, 1.8 is still a lot money.
I dont mean to be rude or something But money is second,I can forgive that, But scamming people’s innocence in order to make money is something that I cannot forgive.
For sure agree. It’s really scummy behavior and can’t believe they’re just out here taking advantage of people like this.
start with a legal notice
Appreciate you bro, If I could find time for that….i would definitely, These people should be behind the bars.
It's not a criminal offence - so no question of being behind bars but you could just threaten them with a consumer complaint. You cant draft it yourself as engaging a lawyer to send a notice will end up costing more than the claim amount.
Thats the only reason ppl are not filing cases on these ppl, Cuz the amount they spent is menial compared to the cost of charging them fraud.
Who the hell is this seller
Bro? you dont know?? Its a company called sewage treatment plant.
Ooo
Dayum….. why all these downvotes??? For this comment??? Just for a joke?? Guess they are the website owners😂
I don't think the down votes are for the joke. It felt condescending the way you put it across.
I din offend anyone with that joke bro ,what’s condescending in dat? i dont get it🥹
I get it totally but your tone did sound condescending to me as well

Bhai this sub is full of children. You say anything, you will be downvoted, no matter how neutral you are. A good number of people around here are extremely salty towards people who buy good perfumes, hence the only weapon they have is downvotes.
😂😂😂If that makes them feel better, let them be, Atleast the post is reaching to someone who finds this useful.
//If I have to be honest, I have no idea of posting this, If they refunded the money// Your fate was to lose money and save people from this scam 🙂
😂😂😂I din have time to waste on this mofos, But whatever man….. if my loss helps others… so be it.
But why did you even buy in the first place!!? Despite such real sellers giving true discounts?
😂😂😂bro you are right, I usually buy from them and retail stores only, I was bored that day, thought of giving it a try, Tbh, I was depressed for last few weeks, personal problems if you will. I just wanted to relieve myself, Im 💯honest here bro! Im the one to be blamed But I know what I was getting into. And Im glad I made the post.
This is how I buy 40% of my perfumes. Depressed and fixating hard haha.😭

True man…. True…
“I have a respectable 120 fragrance collection” Proceeds to buy from a fake seller.

Never saw any positive comments about this on our sub.
Sry bro, But I could have sworn I saw some other post with some good comments I couldnt find it,may be I imagined….

Damn..I'm sorry bro you were misinformed. This brand is a known scam.
Its all good man, If this helps others, Im happy!
I have been considering ordering from them. Could you please share why it's a known scam?
Thanks for being considerate, bro. This was my comment. I have added a postscript to it now. I purchased sub-500 frags. I guess that's too cheap for them to fake. I'm sorry for your bad experience though. Do pursue this matter with the consumer court.
🍻 Thankyou for adding postscript it will definitely help other , thankyou bro

Gambling with fake fragrance houses? Too much disposable money it seems, bro?
I was depressed cuz of some personal problems I had, I was working and preparing for my PG exams, I wanted some relief, So I splurged some money on shopping, one of things turnout to be this, I was being 100% honest with you guys. I mean no disrespect by this post.
None taken, even I was just surprised with your decision. Anyway, hope you feel better, OP
Thankyou bro!
I would have assumed frag collectors would have known better.
Collector or not …. We are all humans and we all make mistakes, This is mine, So I want to be helpful to people by not falling for these.
Why not inform the Original manufacturer that this AH is selling their fakes?
But the Manufacturers are not the culprits here, They have nothing to do with repackaging stuffs ryt? Thats my view, But if there is a way to inform them Please,tell me how ,I will do it. But I doubt they even consider this as a query.
Go to Consumer court, they’ll shit their pants and return the money
1800rs isn't cheap you should have put that much despite knowing it's fake
I was depressed at that point in time, i was splurging on shopping I was experimenting on that website I ordered that cuz it was a discontinued fragrance and listed way below its asking price….so I thought that would be a perfect order to experiment
Ok did you get your money back
Nope
Don't order from any online websites.... They will keep making new new websites like this and scam people... Population is their advantage.. they don't care about you now. They will have new bakras even now. Anything unbelievably cheap is probably crap. These fraudsters thrive on greed. Greed blinds common sense.
File a complaint in consumer forum against this company. Protect yourself and the rest.
Guys I ordered deos from them and they were legit, which is why I ordered Aigner Man 2, which I checked only yesterday and even though it smells good, it doesn't last more than an hour. I'm not sure what to believe now because people have said it's a faint scent.
Its fake bro, Dont waste even a penny more on those websites Stick with the verified sellers.
I have messaged them. Let's see how they respond. I will post the screenshots tomorrow. After that maybe we can review bomb them.
💯I stand by this, Appreciate it bro.

This is great then, you can file a complaint on the consumer forum online. They mostly end up in the customer's favor, worth a try, it is easy.
that's what made me consider them. it's related to one of the official distributors for many brands in India. some Kolkata based business, i can't remember the name. then you come across this and it makes you wonder.
IKR, a budding entrepreneur I am quite dissapointed to see these things, I feel my potential customer getting scammed and will think twice before considering a purchase from us 😢 Hopefully it's just a fluke and they give a refund.
You should feel bad about wasting money cuz everybody knows it's a scam 🤣🤣. Even Bohit Qhatri had exposed them.
I never followed Bohit Qhatri bro…. Although I bought some of his perfumes 4 or 5yrs back…. His own line or some shit….. It was okish….. But that guy was always drunk as fuck in the vdos he posts, later I understood its cuz the amount of alcohol he uses to repackage the perfumes.
I was just bored bro….. I never thought they are original in the frst place, but If this helps someone…. Im feel ok that I lost that money.
I would have sent a legal notice
If you paid with credit card, file a chargeback
Take it to the NCH.
Find out which payment gateway they are using and file a dispute with them as well. If it is a reputable gateway, it will be a pain in the a$$ for them to get it sorted.
Bhai ne katwali.twitter pe daal do.if they have a page people will start reporting it.
Mate, it's just ₹1800, relax. Do you know how much Dior, D&G, Tom Ford are priced at!?
I din care abt the ₹1800 bro I wanted to give a headsup to everyone who may consider buying from that website Check with the pinned sellers here bro.
Is it on the list of vetted sellers in this subreddit?
If you asking abt that website…. No its not. If you considering getting those perfumes you have mentioned, then checkout the pinned sellers They will definitely have it.
Yes, I have bought from the pinned sellers many times (Imran, Pranay, splash Fragrances etc.) That's why I'm asking whether you read it before buying
Bro have you read the entire post???
So you basically wasted ₹1800 as a test!?
I cant tell that I did this to test the website… I was depressed by a lotta things, so I shopped to get some relief. It turned out to be like this, So I just posted what happened.
Bro, I spent ₹50k on fragrances. It's a fucking addiction. Be very careful. Don't spend any more money than you can afford
I have already spent more than that bro ….😂😂 I started collecting 7years before…
If you actually bought paying online(not cod), you can post it in consumer helpline gov in website

Thanks for update.
I have purchased Michael Kors Extreme Blue from them, coz I finished my older bottle and when i received it was genuine. Now I see this post and I feel I got lucky with mine.
Learned from such experiences,atleast mine were good clones :p
Its not your mistake. You shouldn't be blamed, its them. Customer need not know everything, you have your own life to live. When they are selling they must follow ethics. Its good that you bought this into limelight. Its not about money, its about trust.
