I walked into a Sephora store looking to buy a long-lasting perfume and clearly told the sales associate that lasting power was my top priority. I was confidently recommended Bvlgari Man in Black 150 ml, which was described as “famous for its longevity.” I trusted the expert advice and bought the product.
However, when I started using it, I noticed that the scent disappears within five minutes. At first, I thought maybe it was just how it reacted with my skin, but after a while, I realized no one around me could smell it either.
I went back to Sephora and reported the issue. They asked me to test another bottle in-store—same result, no noticeable scent. I returned again, only to be told by the brand representative that I should have brought it back within 15 days, and now they couldn’t help me.
This is completely unacceptable. I shopped at Sephora specifically to avoid issues like this. I expected a genuine product with genuine support. Instead, I got a frustrating experience, no resolution, and lost money.
If I wanted to be ignored after a bad purchase, I could have gone to a random vendor on the street. But when a major retailer like Sephora brushes you off, it really makes you question their integrity.
I’m demanding that Sephora take responsibility and offer a proper solution—either a replacement or refund. Treat your customers better. We don’t just pay for a product—we pay for trust.
