Scentbird Review & Coupon – October 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.

Scentbird’s Perfume Editors pick a new scent every month to feature. October’s is Commodity Gold; November’s is Norell Elixer:

A floriental woody, Norell Elixir is an addictive and alluring fragrance. An essence that seduces the senses with an enticing blend of cool spice, INTOXICATING white flowers and a narcotic trail of dark woods and sweet sensuality. The Norell Elixir woman captivates and beguiles. She is mysterious and passionate, sultry and magnetic – a woman who commands the room as soon as she enters it.

I added it to my queue so stay tuned!

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 Signorina Misteriosa by Salvatore Ferragamo for October since I was trying to mix things up because almost all of the perfumes in my queue were citrus scents. This one promised to be spicy but this woman wasn’t mysterious at all; she’s fruity and super sweet and fun. It reminds me of various Escada perfumes, which I love, but I was wanting something suitable for fall and this one was not it. I still love the scent, it reminds me of berries and cream and lasts for quite a while, and will be perfect for summer.

Scentbird 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 was a new scent and I have discovered that while this graphic shows the scent to be spicy and floral and not fruity, it may be based on one or two reviews. I checked again today and the floral and fruity bars are about even and the woody bar grew longer too so keep in mind that new scents may not be accurately represented.  The value this month was about $13.82 which is just a bit under the subscription price but since I like to wear a different fragrance daily, Scentbird lets me play the field rather than make a long-term commitment and to me that is a great deal!
