Scentbird Review & Coupon – September 2016

Scentbird is a monthly perfume and fragrance decanting subscription. With Scentbird you get a thirty day supply of perfume every month – Scentbird takes authentic perfumes and decants them into travel sprayers. There are over 450 fragrances to chose from!

When you join you fill out a profile – including three of your favorite designer perfumes – then you make a wish list of perfumes you’d like to try. You’ll get a new sprayer every month, plus your first month includes a case to hold whatever perfume you’re currently using! You can add extra cases to an existing subscription for $12.95. Members now receive a $15 credit each month against the purchase of a full-size bottle (note that this credit expires each month).

My mailer came with my fragrance and a card plus a little booklet with suggestions for fall scents for both men and women.

Scentbird’s Perfume Editors pick a new scent every month to feature. September’s is Nest Fragrances Dahlia & Vines; October’s is Commodity Gold:

Decadent and luxurious, Gold takes you on an intoxicating journey to your innermost desires and impulses with opulent notes of molten amber and nubian musk interwoven with rich Madagascan vanilla.

Sounds rich!

You can see all the previous Perfumes of the Month at the bottom of the Scent of the Month page. Note that if your wish list is empty you’ll get the scent of the month. You can now get on demand scents, but if you’re a subscriber it’s less expensive to get a new one each month and there’s something to be said about giving yourself time to enjoy your new fragrance for a while.

 Your first month will include a little perfume vial case and velvet holder. Scentbird decants the perfume from the manufacturer’s bottle to a little glass vial that fits in the sprayer. The perfumes are 100% authentic and you’ll receive an .27oz sprayer. A card comes with the vial demonstrating its use. You just twist it to spray!

New subscribers receive a sleek black case but other colors are available for an additional cost.

I selected Versace Versense for September since I’m a sucker for citrus scents. I expected it to be a bit more herby or woody due to the cedar and cardamom but I just picked up an initial citrus blast followed by a floral touch that lasted for several hours. One spritz and you’re on your way. I think this is more suitable for summer than fall but I still loved this scent!

Scentbird also provides a quick visual guide to the perfumes. You can get even more details on the different vectors of the scent by mousing over each of the main areas. This scent is heavy on the citrus with floral coming in as a runner-up. As you can see, the woody and spicy notes are less prevalent. The value this month was about $8 which is on the low side but it saved me from buying a huge bottle of Versense. I wear a different fragrance daily and Scentbird lets me play the field rather than make a long-term commitment.

What’s in your Scentbird queue? Do you change your scent frequently or do you stick to just a few favorites?
