I have tried many a beauty box in my time, but none have really come up to scratch or suited me.
I am not really a big fan of trying new make-up and skincare as having sensitive skin, I tend to stick to what I know doesn’t irritate it.
The one beauty product I do like is perfumes, but I always find it tricky to find the right one as you tend to go nose blind after trying one or two and I like to wear them to see how they settle and smell on me.
Even last year I felt pressured in the airport to buy one which initially smelled nice, but when I got home I found it just didn’t suit me.
Now you can flirt with different scents each month until you find the one with scentaddict.
Each month, chose the latest designer fragrance of your choice from a list of 200+, including Chanel, D&G, Viktor & Rolf etc, and a team of scentaddict experts will carefully fill a luxury reusable 8ml atomiser (which equates to approximately 100 sprays) with the chosen fragrance (complete with The Fragrance Shop guarantee) and package it ready to be sent to you within 14 days.
If you fall in love with your new scent, you can redeem the £12 subscription cost against the price of full-sized bottle either in-store or online using a unique discount code within your box.
What’s more, it is available for men and women, so is the perfect gift for that hard to buy for someone special.
For my first three scents I have selected:
- Viktor and Rolf: BonBon
- Issy Miyake: L’Eau D’Issey Pure
- Chanel: Mademoiselle
AlI three I have wanted to try for sometime and come beautifully packaged, with one flaw – I would like a label on the bottle to say which scent it contains or even a label on the box, as I can imagine once you have a collection of fragrances, it would be like playing scent roulette.
The best bit is, there is no commitment, so when you have found your perfect fragrance, you can cancel at any time!!
What a great idea. I find I have to try a perfume for a while before I decide if I love it!
I’ve never heard of anything like this before, but it is so perfect for trying new perfumes 🙂
Oh what a fab idea! I love that you can try one before buying the whole bottle, sometimes it takes a while to decide if you like a scent!
I love the idea of this. And Chanel Mademoiselle is one of my all-time favourites. I too have bought a perfume before when rushing and hated it afterwards. I’ve one currently sat on the bathroom shelf gathering dust so a service like this sounds idea to prevent spending on perfumes you end up hating!
This is such a brilliant idea. I love perfumes a lot so this would be amazing for me. It is a great gift too.
Oh how nice to get a different scent each time, I get so bored of my perfume! So this would be great
What a great idea and I love viktor and rolf perfumes , they’ve been my favourite for years 🙂
I’m subscribed to a very similar service to this, and I love it. Getting to try out a new fragrance each month before committing to a full priced version is fantastic 🙂

I do like this idea as I find I have so many perfumes I rarely finish one but I’d have no idea what was in each one like you x
This sounds like a great idea to discover new scents, especially as someone who wears the same scent again and again. The fact they’re not clearly labelled would annoy me though!
This sounds a very good idea. You really can’t tell if you like a new scent without wearing it properly. Mich x
Ooooh this looks amazing! I’m struggling to find a perfume I like, I’ve gone off the one I’ve used for years, this might be my saving grace!
Now that sounds like a subscription box I’d like to try but it’s rather odd they don’t label the bottles. How are you supposed to know which is which?
I must admit I’ve never been too fussed by subscription boxes for products like beauty or make up but I do love perfumes and this would be right up my street. I like the fact you can decide on whether or not to buy a full bottle and with a discount is great. It’s a clever way of finding new scents
Scent Addict sounds a great subscription box. 8mls is quite a good sample size too. I love that you get a discount if you go on to buy the full size version of the perfume.
ohhhh I love a subscription box. This is a fab idea!
