### 1/5 — Nope

*2026-03-19*

I scanned. Creed aventus. Acqua Di gio and Burberry her. It didn’t recognize any of them.

### 1/5 — Data Munchers !!!!

*2025-10-01*

They want you to sign in , and didn't take 2 minutes not to work and then receive fake emails.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work!

*2025-06-27*

App doesn’t work. Scan was a failure. Photo of product was a failure. Typing in product name  (Tom Ford Tuscan Leather) was a failure.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-06-04*

Totally useless

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2025-04-21*

I bought this Iphone 2 years ago and this must be the worst app I've ever used

### 1/5 — Poorly Created App

*2025-01-12*

Unfortunately, everything I do, does NOT work!!!  They don’t have Giorgio Armani in their database!!!  Really? 👎

### 1/5 — Taping or sending a picture does not work

*2024-12-31*

Please fix the bugs

### 1/5 — Pessima

*2024-01-08, version 3.1.9*

Non scaricatela app inutile
Apple non fa niente per proteggerci

### 1/5 — Inutile

*2023-11-22, version 3.1.9*

Provata su 2 profumi, non trovati.
Letteralmente inutile .

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work!!!

*2023-10-02*

I have over 30 fragrances, and I just purchased sealed box of Boss Bottled Elixir from Switzerland airport, I tried both options, scanning NFC tag and taking picture of the bottle. With NFC, it didn’t work at all, maybe because there isn’t NFC tag on the box like most fragrances, with photo scanning it completely displayed different fragrances from the one I actually took a picture of.
