What is Trust Score?

Trust Score is a 0–100 measure of how reliable you are on Sniffy. Every fragrance changes hands through our escrow system — buyers and sellers both need to know who they're dealing with. Your score is built from real actions: completing trades, earning positive ratings, verifying your payment account, and keeping your profile current. Higher scores unlock faster escrow releases, priority placement in search, and access to the Sniffy Protection Fund.
