Perfume not smelling

Bought a R425 perfume that doesn't smell, returned it, they did few test on different customers some also could smell it, so I was told I must either take perfume back cos they can't refund or exchange the perfume even when I suggested they exchange with something lesser or even a tester perfume they refused. The perfume was not even a week old since I bought it.

Regarding the perfume I called the manager who told her staff to either take the perfume to head office to be tested for 2 weeks or "I must take perfume back and if they felt threatened they must press the panic button" , so I can be removed from the store by the security, imagine paying R425 for a non brand perfume just because I needed a perfume only for it to not last even sprayed on skin and then be treated like dirt when you try to ask for better service, I even called the so called head office only for them to tell me about company policy not to returned a used perfume that does not have a scent, how are you going to sell a perfume fades away after few minutes to other customers? Out of disappointment and heartbrokeness I left the perfume and its slip on their counter, I wished I never entered that store but now my money went for nothing, I should have just went to Dischem and bought myself a nice scent perfume. See me at eden perfume Vaalmall kill me please!! I'm never buying a perfume there anymore.

Dear Dineo, 
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience with us. We truly value your feedback and are sorry to hear that you were disappointed.
We have spoken with our team at Vaal Mall, and after conducting tests in-store, our staff did not find any issues with the perfume’s quality or longevity. At Eden Perfumes, we follow strict quality control measures to ensure all our fragrances meet our high standards. That said, we understand that scent perception can vary from person to person.
The perfume you purchased contains Ambroxan, a high-quality fragrance ingredient known for its long-lasting effect. However, some individuals have a reduced ability to detect Ambroxan due to olfactory differences, which may explain why the scent faded quickly for you while for others it is an incredibly powerful, long lasting scent. For a full explanation of Ambroxan anosmia please read this articlehttps://www.rosasalas.co.uk/blogs/the-reason-why-certain-people-cant-smell-baccarat-rouge--ambroxin--013salas-
While we do offer a 14-day money-back guarantee for perfumes that are in their original, unused condition, unfortunately, we are unable to accept returns of noticeably used products unless a defect is found.
With that in mind, we are happy to send the perfume to our head office for further testing, which typically takes about two weeks. If a quality issue is found, we will gladly issue a refund. Please let us know if you’d like to proceed with this option.

I've used baccarat rouge perfumes before and the scent last even on clothes after you wore them, but with that What what Royale its like you didn't even put a perfume on, ok you may proceed with that option.
