Scentbird is a perfume sampling subscription box that sends you 100% authentic perfumes every month. When you sign up, you take a preferences quiz to help them suggest recommendations for you to try, and you can also go browse and rate the rest of their selection to make the recommendations even more accurate. You can build a queue of fragrances you’d like to try or you can let yourself be surprised every month.
Because this subscription is so heavily personalized, the fragrance I selected to review this month is specific to my own preferences and choice.
This box was sent to us for review purposes. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes).

Along with the fragrance you receive each month, Scentbird also includes a card describing the “perfume of the month” for the next month. January’s perfume of the month is Goutte de Rose by Cartier.
Scentbird has also started “Scentbird A La Carte” that lets you buy individual perfumes, either in addition to or separate from a subscription.
With your first month’s delivery, you receive a perfume case that fits your 8 ml sprays inside. The purse spray case you get with your first month is black, and comes with the sample vial inside. This pink case is limited edition but you can now add-on extra cases to your delivery for $12.95. This is what the pink case looks like, open. To close, you just twist it (like lipstick) and the silver part sinks into the case.
I have to say that that these atomizer cases are probably my favorite part of this subscription for me. The cases have a nice weight, are sleek, and feel high quality. It’s super easy to open and close, and to switch perfumes you just open, pull the vial out, and place the next one inside! No messing with atomizers.
This is brand new packaging from Scentbird! I LOVE this new cardboard case! It’s much sturdier and stiff than the old cardboard boxes. They look so much chic-er, too.
The fragrance I received this month Indigo by Nest. It’s categorized under “Office, Unique, and Woody.” Its main notes are fig, Cashmere wood, Cardamom, Bergamot, and Black Tea. I’ve heard a lot about this fragrance, and that it’s a good pick if you don’t like too-sweet perfumes.
I’ve heard a lot of hype about this, and I really get why. This perfume is officially my new favorite discovery through Scentbird! It’s sweet, but not in a cotton candy or vanilla/caramel sort of way. I think I smell the black tea and the fig most on my skin. I have about a billion perfumes but am thinking of making this my new everyday one!
The Verdict: I love that Scentbird has such a large selection and variety and includes lots of high-end brands that I recognize as well as lesser-known perfumes for me to try! Also, you can always email them requests for specific fragrances. They keep a list of perfumes they plan on adding, and requests for specific fragrances add to that list or bump them up in priority.
As far as value goes, a .28 oz/8.29 ml rollerball sells for $25, so this 8 ml spray is worth about ~$24. I’m happy with that! Especially because the rollerball looks like it’s sold out/unavailable, and thanks to Scentbird I don’t have to buy a full-size to try it.
Scentbird also recently began their men’s subscription for colognes, as well, and you can add them to your queue even if you have a “women’s subscription.”
