SCScentBox, Inc.★★★★★
Not a very good value for the money
I received a subscription to ScentBox as a gift from a friend, and I can't say I'm very impressed.
For starters, the fragrances come in opaque atomizers, so it's impossible to tell exactly how much you are getting in each sampler without breaking the container open. Frankly, it doesn't appear to me to be much more than you get in the tiny sample vials that are given away for free at the better department stores, or available for $2 or $3 at online perfume retailers.
And even though ScentBox may have a lot of choices, it's just a small fraction of the total number of designer fragrances on the market, so you're limited to the fragrances they happen to carry.
If I wanted to get someone a fragrance as a gift, I would just give them a gift certificate to Sephora, Neiman Marcus or even TJ Maxx.

COCOMOBOCA★★★★★
Not what I signed up for
I purchased a sweater from Comoboca about a year ago, and I was very pleased with both the purchase experience and the sweater itself. And if I had reviewed the company in 2024, I would have given them 5 stars. In fact, I did just that on another review site.
But things have changed. I placed a second order last week, and when I tried to get shipping information, I was routed through the Shopify.com website. I made the purchase directly through Comoboca, and I don't want to use Shopify, but this is the only way to get a shipping update - and I have to download the Shopify app to get these updates. Thanks, but no thanks.
The purchase I made in 2024 arrived in just a few days - which is one of the reasons I put Comoboca on my short list for online shopping - but now they are saying my order hasn't even been processed yet, and once it is processed, it will take over 2 more weeks to arrive. They are blaming Trump's new tariffs for the delays.
I just wanted to buy a couple of sweaters, not sign up for their third-party services or get involved in their political grievances over tariffs. I have already paid for the sweaters, so I guess I will just have to wait until they get around to shipping them. But I very much doubt I will be doing business with Comoboca again.
UPDATE 9/23/25: I did eventually receive my sweaters, but the order was not even processed for over 2 weeks. And when the sweaters finally did arrive, they came from Kentucky. So much for the tariff excuse...
And thanks to Comoboca sharing my information with Shopify without my knowledge or consent, I am now receiving spam emails from them. Gee, thanks...
These folks may have nice merchandize, but their business practices are about as sleazy as it gets.
