He reportedly swapped real bottles for clay or empties, faking returns and claiming gifts. With a YouTube channel and Patreon offering free fragrances to fans, he was secretly giving away stolen scents. Authorities raided his apartment, seizing 714 bottles and finding evidence he used heat guns and glue to reseal boxes. He’s now accused of scamming multiple stores — all for the love of perfume.
