Olfactif is a monthly unisex fragrance discovery subscription box. You’ll get 3 samples in your box, each containing 15-20 “wears” of an independently designed perfume. With every box, your account will be credited with an $18 voucher to use on fragrances from the store. Olfactif‘s focus is on niche fragrance, so you’ll see different & unique scents, higher quality and hard-to-find ingredients.

The information card that tells you how to approach fragrances is not in the box this month in favor of the Olfactif Men’s subscription announcement!  The existing subscription will remain unisex (best for women and adventurous men).

About the Olfactif men’s subscription:

  • The first men’s collection will ship September 1, and signup is open now.
  • Each collection will feature three traditionally masculine scents from the niche world
  • Subscribers also receive an $18 credit toward the purchase of a full bottle every month
  • The subscription is ideal for men who love to smell great but are bored with smelling like everybody else–and ideal for women who want to purchase a unique, high-end gift for the men in their lives

Use the code 4MEN to receive 15% off a 3, 6, or 12 month subscription, or 15% off the first month of a recurring subscription.

Olfactif has the most unique & awesome packaging. I adore the slide-out box. The information card for the fragrances is tucked inside.

The August Theme is Earth, Wind, Fire. In that order below!

Remember when you were a kid and the summer seemed to last forever? Here’s an incontrovertible truth of adulthood: Just when summer seems to have begun, we look up and realize that it’s nearly gone.

But fleeting time is also precious time. We know that the end of summer is to be savored, so we pay closer attention to the sensations that make summer so magical: the warm, soft earth that invites our bare feet; the wind that carries the scent of salty air and cotton candy from the fair; the heat that draws and keeps us outside. All three are in this collection for you to relish as summer winds down—before turning into something equally glorious.

  • The Good Earth from Atelier de Geste. Notes include galbanum, fresh leaf bouquet, geranium, peony, bamboo, opoponax, and precious moss oil. This is described as a Utopian vision of the earth and I found it to be a subtle yet complex “green” fragrance – I liked it quite a bit more than most “greens.” This seemed to get sweeter to me as it unfolded and more like a traditional perfume.
  • What I Did On My Holidays from 4160 Tuesdays. Notes include mint, coconut suntan lotion, sea air, lavender, candy floss, vanilla.  This is such an amazing summer fragrance, and super unusual with the mint, coconut, and candy combo. It smelled like mojitos on the beach with cotton candy. It’s exactly what you did on your holidays. The mint is super clean in this, I really love it. This is the one I keep going back to smell again over and over.
  • Dark Horse from Dame Perfumery Scottsdale. Notes include bergamot, lemon, cinnamon, jasmine, carnation, rose, clove, guaiac wood, vetiver, vanilla, and musk. The card describes this as summer’s radiant heat, but I almost think this is like a camp with horses. It has some floral tones combined with smoke.

If you’ve been waiting to subscribe to Olfactif, the coupon code works on both subscriptions. Use the code 4MEN to receive 15% off a 3, 6, or 12 month subscription, or 15% off the first month of a recurring subscription. This was a great box and I think the 4160 Tuesdays scent is an amazing find. The last scent definitely evokes the end of summer into fall. Every Olfactif box is either a play on a single theme or tells a story, just like the scents inside.
