Scentura Salespeople

In this article, it looks like the term "Indepedent salespeople" is used about half the time, and "Scentura's salespeople" the other half.

Seems like any instance of "Scentura salespeople" should be changed to "Independent salespeople." The BBB report on Scentura shows that the company has 9 employees, and states "Scentura Creations only sells products to independent distributors." That, plus most of the references state that the sales people are all Independent.

Thoughts?

Whether the sales people are independent or not lies at the heart of the controversy here. "Independent salespeople" is absolutely the wrong term for them. Stuartyeates (talk) 00:50, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Would it be possible to refer to them simply as "salespeople" without any modification? 69.42.17.116 (talk) 23:54, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

another recent article on the company

February 23, 2017, Upstate company posts salaried job ads, but isn’t hiring for real positions say fmr. employees. [1]

Website gone?

Website appears to be offline, possibly due to domain expiration, as of a few minutes ago. --Shawn K. Quinn (talk) 23:05, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

More accurate to call the product "rendition" not "imitation". Accurate description would be nice too.

Having sold their fragrances myself and even opened my own "branch" briefly. I have no love for the company or their practices.

Term "Imitation" is contextually associated with poorly made fragrances sold very cheap that "imitate" but don't smell exactly like the real thing. What they were selling was perfume strength (even when they said something less strong) "renditions" as they called them. Which quite often were stronger than the version most people bought and far cheaper.

Unless the law changed, you can't pattern a smell in the U.S. So, you can make the exact same one, and call it the "Rendition" of the original, using the original name. You just can't call it say, "Ralph Lauren's Polo Sport" which it is not. "Rendition Polo Sport" is just fine legally. Can't copy marketing, patented or copyrighted material like the box or physical container, etc.

So, their renditions were exact copies at perfume strength. The product was legit. Company wasn't.

For accuracy sake I would prefer the term "rendition". And maybe a paragraph that explains the product and premise accurately and mentions they did have some original products as well. I know it is in poor taste to hit and run like this without doing the leg work. But I have limited capacity that doesn't include that level of personal time investment.
