Always arrange to meet in well-populated and public places, such as coffee shops, shopping centers, or other busy locations. Public places provide a safer environment for both buyers and sellers during fragrance swaps. It minimizes the risk of potential harm and promotes a secure exchange.

Avoid falling for claims or requests to transfer money before meeting in person. Scent Nexus strongly advises against engaging in financial transactions outside of the in-person meetup. If you decide to trade online, use reputable payment methods such as PayPal's "Paying for an item or service" option. This provides an added layer of protection for both the buyer and seller, reducing the risk of fraudulent activity.

Whenever possible, bring a friend or inform someone you trust about your meetup details, including the location, time, and the person you are meeting. Having someone aware of your plans adds an extra layer of safety. In case of an emergency, someone will know your whereabouts.

Trust your instincts and be cautious if something feels off. If you are uncomfortable at any point, consider canceling the meetup. Your intuition is a powerful tool. If a situation doesn't feel right, prioritize your safety and well-being over the transaction.

Schedule meetups during daylight hours whenever possible. Daylight provides better visibility and a more secure environment for both parties involved in the fragrance swap.

Verify the identity of the person you are meeting by exchanging information in advance, such as names, photos, or any other relevant details. Knowing who you are meeting helps build trust and ensures a safer exchange.

Conduct all communication, including initial contact and negotiation, through Scent Nexus's secure messaging system. This provides a documented record of your conversation, making it easier to address any concerns or disputes that may arise.

Stay away from remote or isolated locations for meetups. Meeting in areas with few people around increases the risk of encountering potential safety hazards.

If you encounter suspicious activity or feel unsafe during a meetup, don't hesitate to contact local authorities. Your safety is our priority. Reporting any concerns ensures a swift response to potential risks.
