I Tried EVERY Perfume Subscription Box So You Don't Have To... Pros and Cons + My Faves!

Amazing video. Thank you ❤

Girl this is the ABSOLUTE BEST.
Thank you for this video!!
I needed to find out what subscription I wanted for my birthday and you just helped me out so much!!

I like Scentbird because I live in a small town in Mississippi and we have an Ulta but that’s it. And Ulta sells the more common brands so I don’t have anywhere close to me where I can smell all these different scents. Perfume is to expensive just to blind buy so without Scentbird or something like that I wouldn’t have been able to try most of the scents I have come to love.

Can you do a review or gray-net scent places? I tried 540 from Harrods and got water (almost certain), microperfumes (and got alcohol) and FragranceNet (and it was lovely) - but now I’m utterly confused about what it should smell like. Ugh :(

Thank you!

great video, thank you! you are absolutelly stunning btw, slay

Im thinking of trying Maxed out by 4160 Tuesdays, ever tried that one? Need opinions on great niche perfumes too, love oud, coffee, aromatics etc.

I have been getting scentbox since February, I believe. I get the two travel sprays a month, and will flip between premium and platinum subs depending on what I want to get. I went with them because I do not like the atomizers that scentbird uses now. I absolutely love it because a) each scent comes in an atomizer each month, b) if you get one you do not like, you can exchange one per month. You return the one you do not like for free, and they will send you the next one in your line up. C) I’ve only recently (this year), been able to begin wearing perfumes without getting migraines, and scentbox has been a great way to try out perfumes.

I have been looking for different sub services that offer different fragrances that I can’t get from scentbox so I’m very thankful for this video!! I know it’s a year old, but you mentioned ones I hadn’t heard or found myself! I did find a new one the other day that you didn’t mention - micro perfumes. Same sizes, roughly same prices, but a ton of different scents that I haven’t seen elsewhere. If I remember correctly, it’s not exactly a sub service, but one that allows you to buy travel sprays or decants whenever and have deals like buy two get one free. I have slept since I looked at it so I may be a bit fuzzy on the details. Lol

My ALL TIME FAVORITE SCENT is discontinued. It was Moon Sparkle by Escada. Ugh smells like heaven. But then again i dont know anything about perfumes and stuff. I dont even know what you mean by Niche when you say it😂 lol

THANK YOU for this! I have been royally pissed off ever since Scentbird changed their bottles to the AWFUL and impractical spouty-nosed pieces of crap they're sending out, with horribly designed cases to boot. I loved that I could buy a full bottle to refill the 8ml for the road, now it's just a monthly frustration.

Thanks for this video...looking for a perfume subscription for my daughter for Christmas..only knew of scentbird..but olfactif ❤sounds like a much better fit. The name is just not memorable.

This video is the BEST. I just signed up for Scentbird and I was immediately disappointed. I will give it a few months. But now considering MaxAroma and Olfactif. THANK YOU! You have such a great way of explaining everything! 🥰

Honestly, i think scentbird just puts premiums on the more well known ones or the ones they are recommending 😂

Does anyone know how to stop the scntbird subscription??? I have tried everything... plz help would be much appreciated

Thank you for this video, it’s really helpful. I gotta say tho, this gay pride thing being shoved down everyone’s throats every June is really strange. I find it patronizing and it just feels like a PsyOp or something. Corporations don’t try to exploit straight people’s sexuality as a marketing ploy, why do they think they need to do it for us? I don’t need this gimmick, I don’t need retailers to condone my sex life or not and I’m really tired of it. And if anything, Is think it’s going to create a growing sentiment of homophobia eventually because it’s unbalanced. If I see a rainbow on a store window, it makes me not want to go in that store.

Any subscriptions that carry arabian perfumes? I specifically wanna try that genre but idk where i can test that out and im not near an Arabic marketplace

I've heard a lot about scent bird and I had a question is it true that even if you do pay for it and they don't have to perfume in stock you will not get it and still be charged? Also a lot of people have been saying that when they arrive they have been broken

Just canceled Scentbird it was $38 a month and the sprayers were horrible. Also they won’t do anything to help if you can’t even use the product because of the faulty sprayers. The selection is subpar in my opinion for the price.

Do not purchase from Royalty Scents. They continued to charge me after canceling my account. Hard to reach customer service. They do not respond to emails nor instagram messages.

I'm very interested in trying Olfactif, but I'm not sure whether I should sign up for the 3- or 6-piece subscription...I do really love unisex fragrances but I'm wondering whether the men's scents tend to lean more overtly masculine or if they tend to be more unisex. Anyone have any input?

I need to get my hands on that burnt hot dog skin scent, asap!

I have thoughts lol. I have been trying royalty scents and really like it. The up charge thing is really off putting so the flat fee is a ++. The queue is easy to manage, you just drag them around so not sure if that changed recently or what. I like that there are a lot of niche perfumes my favorite influencers are recommending that I feel 8 mil is a good blind buy. I’m trying to expand my nose and a 8 mil gives me some time to adjust to the scent as I have noticed my opinion changes over time. They have some good ones I want to try and am quite pleased and having fun 🎉

Have u tried scentbirds candles i cant seem to find a review on them

If a company hides the prices from you that’s a shady deal so no!

Thank you for this!!!

I'm definitely looking at royalty scents for a couple of Tom Ford fragrances I'd like to try. Specifically the noir de noir. I'm good about remembering to cancel things, so I might do research and pick a few things up from them.

I was curious to see the reviews of other subscription services when I found your review. Thank you so much for your honest reviews. I’ve tried scentbox and olfactif before and have found your reviews of them to be spot on. Much appreciated of the additional insight given into the other subscriptions.

This is exactly the video I was looking for.. thanks for spending the time to do this review!

I’ve started checking fragrance net to see if there are mini or travel sizes before paying the subscription price, every so often I find that I can buy the same amount for cheaper.

I’ve used the same perfume since 2016 and it’s been discontinued. I’ve been on the hunt for a new perfume for what feels like years. This seems like the most cost effective way to do that. Thank you for making this video!

I'm allergic to most perfumes so I love the skylar scent club since I don't react to ANY of their scents and I can get to try variety !

I feel like the Niche sub boxes are the only ones worth it because you can always go into a store and USUALLY be able to smell the popular designer fragrances. You cant do that with the niche fragrances.

Hey Lauren, thanks this was helpful. I gave your name for scenbird yesterday. Question...Do any besides scent bird allow you to buy the 8 ml bottles? thanks!

"Hate that shit" 🤣🤣🤣

Have you tried Lucky Scent? I’m intrigued by the Olfactif subscription. I enjoy unique fragrances, have you smelled Concrete by Comme des Garcons? I found a sample of it on Lucky Scent. You may also find some super unique fragrances by Villa of the Mysteries, some are scent profiles I’ve never smelled before.

Please do a review of Scentmagic! I see the logo in your background, but you didn't mention it. I just signed up with them and would love to hear your thoughts on them.

Hey Lauren, have you tried any of the Louboutin line? I really want to try Loubirouge after hearing Ilythia from The Simple Chic Life rave about it.

(I wrote a comment earlier about this but asked about a specific website that appears to do niche samples but I think YT flagged or deleted it as spam lol)

I don't wear perfume every day, but I want to learn more about it, so I have been really interested in these Sunday videos. This video is so helpful! I have considered these subscriptions but really wasn't sure what to make of them. Considering I only wear perfume occasionally, most of these probably won't work for me, and that is really good to learn. I think the curated box or directly purchasing a decant is probably my best option. Thanks for saving me some money!

Skylar won't be as shelf stable since it's "clean" and is not something you should ever collect.

Have you considered doing an Olfactif review? I would really enjoy you reviewing the curation from them each month.

How difficult was it to cancel the ones that you cancelled? that's something that I've had trouble with with various subscription boxes

Great info! I've been getting Lux since last fall, and like it overall, but lately my boxes have been coming really late. One good thing about Lux is you get slightly bigger bottles....I may have to put this one on pause, and try one of these other companies!

I love this video! I am Into niche perfumes so I know what I’m gonna sign up for :-) thank you so much

Your Scent Sundays have made me obsessed with finding new fragrances, and after this video I signed up for the Skylar subscription! Have you tried more from them since your last Skylar video? If so, can I beg you to make another?

You can pronounce Kirke just like Nike! She’s a sorceress in Greek mythology (Homer‘s Odyssey).

I finally smelled something with fig and I was like OH this is what Lauren likes lol

I’m not really into perfumes but your videos make me want to try something new… I was wondering if any of these boxes have international shipping…?

This was an amazing video. I really appreciate all the time and effort you put into this. I've recently starting getting into perfumes and colognes and I'm so excited to dive in!

Didn’t think I would love the perfume content but I do lol. I’m currently obsessed with my mini of Killians Princess… I mean who doesn’t want to walk around all marshmallowy thinking they could eat themselves🤣🤣😂😂

I tried scentbird and scentbox and I had a horrible experience with scent box. My delivery was a few week late, they were impossible to get ahold of, ignored my emails and only responded when I threatened to go to the better business bureau where there are similar complaints lodged.
Turns out that they were out of one of the scents I ordered and had to wait to mail it and never communicated that to me. Also...their website sucks. Hated them. Scentbird was great though
