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 choose from and Scentbird adds new ones every month!
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).
DEAL: Get your second month free when you use this link!
Scentbird’s Perfume Editors pick a new scent every month to feature. February’s was Ciao Vince Camuto; March will be Maiaday by Raymond Matts:
A luminous floral inspired by linden trees in bloom in late spring, Maiaday blends citrus, watery green notes and fresh, velvety florals to create a unique and airy fragrance.
It’s a floral green scent and I’m adding it to my queue!
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 a .27 oz 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 Judith Leiber Minaudière for February, a floral fruity gourmand that is lovely but fleeting. It’s a white floral with juicy berry notes and is sweet without being little girl-ish. If I sniff my arm at the end of the day I can smell a lovely sweet base but it doesn’t project at all. It’s similar to Flowerbomb, Black Opium, and Mon Paris, which means I love it!
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 shows the scent to be floral and spicy but I don’t think it smells citrusy at all. I think it smells lovely and feminine but I just wish it lasted longer on my skin. The value this month was about $15.60, which is just over the subscription price. I like to wear a different fragrance daily so Scentbird lets me play the field rather than make a long-term commitment and to me, that’s a great deal!
What’s in your Scentbird queue? Do you change your scent frequently or do you stick to just a few favorites?
