Writing a great listing
Buyers can't smell your bottle through the screen. Your photos and your words are what make them trust you, so ScentSell helps with both, free, every time you list or edit.
Help me write this
On the Details step, pick your perfume from the catalogue, then press Help me write this. You'll see its notes (top, heart and base, with a painting of each ingredient where we have one), its family and its perfumer.
- Add the notes to my description puts a short notes line into your description.
- Start from the perfume's description puts the perfume's own description in, where we have one.
Everything added is yours to change. Then add what only you know: how it wears on you, how long it lasts, when you reach for it, where you bought it, how it has been stored, and any marks on the bottle.
Show the notes or not
The switch Show the notes on my listing and share card is on unless you turn it off. Turn it off if you'd rather buyers saw only your words and photos.
Check my description
Press Check my description and our checker reads it and tells you plainly what's missing and why it matters. It looks for:
- your own take on the scent,
- the bottle's story (where it came from, storage, marks),
- whether it reads as a quick note rather than a listing,
- anything ScentSell can't allow: calling it new or sealed, guaranteeing it's authentic, or asking a buyer to pay or message you outside ScentSell,
- "for men" or "for women" labels (every fragrance is for anyone).
You can check as often as you like. It never changes your words for you.
Photos
After you add photos, we check each one for light, sharpness and size, and tell you what to fix: shoot near a window in daylight with no flash, hold steady and tap the bottle to focus, and use your phone's normal camera rather than a screenshot. Bright, sharp photos of the whole bottle on a plain background get more offers and sell faster.
The same checks appear again on the Review step, so you can fix anything before it goes to us.
