Perfume Discovery Boxes

Can anyone recommend a perfume discovery box please? I signed up for the Perfume Society seasonal one but was a bit disappointed with autumn as half the scents were for men (not even unisex) which isn't really for me.

I don't live near many shops where you can go in and try them since Debenham closed down so I thought a box would be ideal.

Not discovery boxes as such but I love this one from Maison Margiela and have bought a couple of full size bottles since. Floral Street do something similar and it you want to try a British perfume house then 4160 Tuesdays allows you to pick 5(?) of their samples for a fixed price.

Feel Unique have a pick and mix where you select 5 samples and just pay for the p&p. Also, Fragrance Samples UK decant perfume into 1, 2, 3 or 5ml bottles so you can sample some high end perfumes.

I rate cohorted but I've not tried a perfume box with them before. They have this one atm

hopefully a link that works

I’d try somewhere like Bloom Perfumery, they have themed sets you can buy or you can just choose your own samples.

There are lots of different Perfume Society boxes, so have another look. I really liked the Launches We Love box and many of the branded ones. I also recommend Le Jardin Retrouve and Gallivant, both of whom refund the price of their discovery sets off your fill size bottle.

escentual do a monthly discovery set offset against future spend, different styles each month

I got the MM one too! It's good and also lead me to buying a full sized bottle of Jazz Club.

The By The Fireplace perfume though! I sprayed it a little too liberally just before I left for a work and spent the whole day smelling like I'd been in a fire. Blush

@RacheyCat I've bought Whispers in the Library and Lazy Sunday Morning, don't think I've tried Jazz Club yet. I've only tried By the Fireplace once and DH came in the bedroom as I was getting ready and thought I'd singed my hair on the straighteners!
