[WineGetsMeThroughIt]

Just got my Spring 2022 bottle through the post. Whilst I like it, I feel like it smells so similar to the other bottles I've had through from them. This is my 4th or 5th bottle now. I've kept the first two, but have returned the last couple of bottles. With the exception of Winter 2022 which smelled like an old hay field to me, I find they all smell of citrus and orange notes. This season has distinct peppermint notes to it. But still with a strong underlying scent of orange / bergamot that I find they've all had. I enjoy the two I have kept, even though they smell almost identical. But I'm returning this one again because it smells far too similar to the ones I've kept. Will be cancelling my subscription now I think.

Meant to ask if anyone feels the same way, or is it just my untrained nose that can't really distinguish between the scents that come out each season

Ooh yes me! It's a shame because it's a lovely idea but the scents themselves are very samey and all smell like aftershave to me. I've only kept 1 out of 4 or 5 because they just don't suit me.

What I didn't like (may be a misunderstanding) is that if you fell in love with a particular season scent, it was a unique one off and tough tittys if you wanted to see yourself having that one as your signature scent for years (shudder at the twee term but ykwim) cos limited run and not reproducible.

It is that to an extent. But if you found one you really loved, they do have a limited number of some years "in their vault" for you to purchase again. So there still is an opportunity to do that.

Oh thank you, I had got in a right tangle, that's great to know.

I'm the same, sent back the winter perfume and have cancelled my subscription. I liked some of the sweeter citrus ones but they were starting to be too earthy/grassy smelling and too similar.

Now we can sample perfumes in shops again I'm going to save the money to spend on ones I can sample first so know I'll like them.

I completely agree, I’ve had 5 seasons & they all smell exactly the same & not very long lasting at that! Nice packaging, but terrible product. I know my perfumes. The noses behind this product should be ashamed of themselves-or the people employing the noses should know better!!!
