Scento launches perfume shopping app on iPhone and Android

Scento has released a free mobile app for iPhone and Android that puts more than 1,000 authentic designer and niche fragrances into shoppers’ pockets. The app extends the Paris retailer’s decant-first model with mobile browsing, checkout and tracked delivery across 26 European countries.

Why it matters: - Scento is trying to remove the biggest friction in buying perfume online: paying for a full bottle before knowing how a scent wears. - The app makes the company’s decant model easier to use on mobile, where discovery and impulse shopping happen fast. - The launch broadens access to more than 1,000 fragrances without requiring a full-bottle commitment.

What happened: - Scento launched a free perfume app on iPhone and Android. - The app is available on the App Store and Google Play. - The Android version has been live on Google Play since 21 October 2026. - The iPhone version arrived on the App Store on 28 October 2026. - The app is Scento’s first native mobile product. - The app joins the Scento website as a second way to shop the same catalogue, prices and guarantee.

The details: - The app offers the full catalogue of more than 1,000 fragrances. - Scento sells authentic designer and niche perfumes as 2 ml, 5 ml, 8 ml and 30 ml decants. - Every decant is hand-poured from an original full-size bottle. - An 8 ml vial gives about 120 sprays. - A 30 ml size is available on most perfumes for shoppers who already know what they want. - Shoppers can browse and search by gender, season, fragrance family and house. - Bestsellers and new arrivals are one tap away. - Discovery sets bundle several perfumes to explore a house or fragrance family. - Favourites can be saved and revisited without an account. - Browsing, search and favourites work without signing in. - Checkout supports card payments, Apple Pay and other methods. - Signed-in customers can track each order from their account. - Every order includes Scento’s 30-day satisfaction guarantee. - Delivery is free over EUR 75. - Parcels ship from Europe with no hidden customs fees. - The catalogue includes houses such as Tom Ford, Creed and Amouage alongside niche perfumers. - The app is available in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Romanian, Greek, Hungarian, Czech and Polish. - The app page includes download links for both stores.

Between the lines: - Scento is leaning into sampling as the core value proposition, rather than trying to convince shoppers to buy full bottles sight unseen. - The mobile launch suggests Scento wants to make repeat browsing and trial purchases easier, not just add another storefront. - The company is using authenticity as a differentiator in a market crowded with clones, dupes and inspired-by scents. - Founder and CEO Sebastian Dobrincu framed the app as a way to let shoppers try a 2 ml vial before committing to a bottle.

What's next: - Scento will use the app alongside its website to sell the same catalogue and guarantee. - Shoppers can expect continued access to the full decant range on mobile across the supported European markets. - The app is positioned to support future discovery-led shopping and repeat purchases from existing members.

The bottom line: - Scento has turned its decant-first perfume business into a mobile shopping app, giving customers a lower-risk way to discover and buy fragrance.
