My love for perfume knows no end sometimes but to me there’s something especially exciting about discovering a new favourite fragrance. They aren’t something that I purchase very often and with the coveted space on my dresser reserved only for signature scents that I’m head over heels in love with, the majority of these precious finds are thanks to samples I’ve received inside my beauty boxes and is the main reason why I rather test a sample over a few days rather than be stuck with a full sized bottle that I bought on a whim and no longer like! The latest company to jump on the subscription box band wagon is the *Secret Scent Box, a monthly subscription that contains three surprise fragrances with at least 30 days use and with popular perfume houses within their portfolio it’s the perfect destination to trial new launches and classics in the comfort of your own home and also boasts being letter box friendly too. 

Secret Scent Box is a monthly UK fragrance box subscription that lets you discover new designer & branded perfumes or colognes. Get a 30 day supply of three handpicked fragrances delivered through your letterbox every month for just £15.00Here’s what they featured for their August edition

My Verdict 

These days it’s almost impossible to keep up, I mean how do you go about finding your signature fragrance in the great sea of new releases? I’m not a fan of perfume halls and will avoid them where I can, all that rogue spritzing really isn’t my cup of tea so the Secret Scent Box is the perfect destination to explore well known and classic fragrances in the comfort of your own home and with three good sized samples you’ll have at least 30 days use – genius!  I really appreciate the letter box friendly sized box as there’s nothing worse than missing a delivery plus everything’s packaged nice and snug meaning the samples are guaranteed to arrive in one piece!  While I love the concept and the fact that the samples are great for travelling and carrying in the hand bag, I’m really fussy when it comes to scents and with only three samples featured inside the box I can see this being hit and miss for me especially as Secret Scent Box handpick the fragrances for you without taking into account your likes/dislikes but having said that I do love the element of surprise and luckily this month’s handpicked selection hits all the right notes for me. It will be interesting to see how they evolve over the next few months.
