To me, perfume is one of those things that becomes part of your identity. For example, the scent of lavender reminds me of my grandmother. My husband has been using Paco Rabanne’s One Million fragrance for years, so every time I get a glimpse of it, I’m reminded of him – that’s the power of perfume.
But, I’ll confess something: it’s hard for me to try new fragrances. Mainly because a new perfume comes with a hefty price tag that I’m too afraid to purchase online, just to see if I’ll like it. So, a subscription service like Scentbird seems like the perfect way to expand my fragrance horizons.
Scentbird is a perfume subscription box that sends subscribers four different vials of designer scents from refillable travel cases. After an initial quiz, Scentbird sends you samples of fragrances they think you’ll love. Today, the company has expanded to other verticals, including skincare, candles, makeup, and more.
For this Scentbird review, we chose to be a bit adventurous and let the Scentbird team send us their favorite recommendations for fragrances. We received a box with their current best sellers.
Also, I feel this is the perfect moment to add that I used to write hundreds of perfume descriptions for Perfumania. So, trying new fragrances is within my wheelhouse.
This box was sent to us at no cost for review. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes.)
About Scentbird
Scentbird was founded in 2013 and has its headquarters and operations center in New York City. They’re a perfume subscription service that gives members exclusive access to over 500 designer fragrances. In Scentbird’s words, they help you “date perfumes before marrying them.”
Each month, subscribers receive a new fragrance in their mailbox that they can fit in their reusable travel case. Each 8 mL vial holds about 140 uses and can last up to a month, or just in time for your next month’s box.
How does Scentbird work?
The way Scentbird works is relatively simple. You can get started with a quiz to help you find fragrances that align with your preferences. Choose your first scent and activate your subscription. You’ll receive a refillable 8 mL bottle with a travel case that holds about 140 sprays, enough to last until your next order. Every month you’ll receive a new fragrance to try and the option to rate it, so they keep optimizing and personalizing your results.
How much does Scentbird cost?
All subscribers start with the base plans at $15.95 per month for one item of your choice. After the first month, you can choose to change your subscription to receive 2 items per month ($25) or 3 items per month ($35). Scentbird does offer multi-month subscription plans and upgrades that you can access once you subscribe.
Does Scentbird have different plans available?
In addition to having subscription levels based on how many items you wish to receive each month, they also have frequency plans available. If the thought of receiving a new fragrance every month seems like too much, you can change the frequency of your subscription to by-monthly or bimonthly.
