The market for beauty subscription boxes may be a little saturated but one I’m not familiar with yet sounds like a great idea is The Fragrance Shop’s Discovery Club*.
This month the high street perfume retailer is celebrating two years of the club with a bumper box of 10 classic favourite fragrance samples plus an additional gift in the form of a 7ml miniature bottle of Estee Lauder’s Modern Muse. If that’s not enough, there are vouchers totalling up to £60 worth of savings for full size purchases.
Make-up and skincare won’t always suit everyone but fragrances are generally straight forward – you either love something or hate it. However it is a massive investment and waste if you discover it’s not to your liking. A spritz in your wrist in a department store is not a reliable way of making a decision, in fact it is overwhelming. You can’t return a bottle so it’s a clever concept to let people try before they buy, and the vials are generous not to mention brilliant for travelling. I always pack a few in my case.
The birthday special has been named the ‘Classics collection’ and contains seven scents for women and three for men, all of which are part of some of the biggest selling fragrances . There are a few personal favourites and some I’ve never got round to trying. There is also one for the boys that I quite like for myself. That’s Paco Rabanne’s Invictus, which I hadn’t come across until I went shopping with Leanne and her mum last year. Invictus is her mum’s favourite fragrance Leanne’s dad, you see and once I got a whiff of it, I could understand why. Some men’s fragrances are actually nice enough for women to wear so I will be giving Invictus a go.
The complete line-up is:
♥ Jean-Paul Gaultier’s Classique EDP
♥ Thierry Mugler’s Angel EDT
♥ Givenchy’s Very Irresistible EDT
♥ Nina Ricci’s Nina EDT
♥ Jimmy Choo’s Original EDP
