Our Authenticity & Sourcing Commitment

Last updated: 18 May 2026

Who We Are

The Scent is an independent UK-based fragrance sample and decant business operating under ZAKARIA NOOR LTD (Company No. 17222406), registered in England and Wales.

We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or officially connected to any fragrance brand, fragrance house, manufacturer, distributor, or trademark owner featured on this website.

All brand names, product names, fragrance names, logos, bottle designs, and trademarks referenced on this website are the property of their respective owners. They are used only to identify the fragrance being sampled.

Where Our Fragrances Come From

All fragrances sold by The Scent are sourced from genuine, original retail bottles purchased from reputable and established UK wholesalers and suppliers.

We do not purchase fragrance stock from unverified sources.

Supplier invoices and purchase records are retained on file for all stock purchased. These records help us verify our sourcing process and may be made available to relevant regulatory authorities upon request.

How We Prepare Your Sample

Each fragrance sample is freshly decanted from an original retail bottle using clean, dedicated equipment.

Fragrances are transferred into clean, unbranded glass atomisers or sample vials. Each sample is carefully filled, sealed, and labelled with the fragrance brand, product name, and volume selected.

We do not reuse equipment across different fragrances without cleaning and preparation between uses.

Every sample leaves our facility clean, correctly labelled, and securely packaged for transit.

For more detail on our step-by-step preparation and inspection process, please refer to our Authenticity Manual

What You Will Receive

You will receive your selected fragrance in an unbranded glass atomiser or sample vial, clearly labelled with the fragrance name and volume selected.

Product photographs on our website may show the original retail bottle for identification purposes only.

You are not purchasing the original retail bottle, manufacturer packaging, or a brand-authorised product. You are purchasing an independently prepared fragrance sample or decant from The Scent.

Our Commitment Against Counterfeit Goods

The Scent has a strict zero-tolerance policy on counterfeit, replica, imitation, or adulterated fragrance products.

We do not stock, sell, or knowingly handle any product that is not genuine.

If any stock fails our internal checks, it is not offered for sale.

If you have any concerns about a product you have received, please contact us immediately at hello@thescent.uk with your order number and details of your concern. We will investigate and resolve the matter as a priority.

For damaged, leaking, faulty, or incorrect items, please refer to our Refund & Return Policy and Warranty page.

Our Verification Process

Before any new fragrance is added to our catalogue, we verify the source, inspect the product on receipt, and check key product details.

Our checks may include:

  • supplier verification
  • invoice and purchase record review
  • packaging inspection
  • batch code and label consistency checks where available
  • product name, concentration, and volume checks
  • visual inspection of bottle condition and product presentation

Products that do not pass our inspection process are not offered for sale.
