Scentbird was "Born out of frustration with the "perfume graveyard" - expensive bottles of designer perfume collecting dust on your dresser or cabinet - Scentbird was created to provide an alternative that is both practical and exciting."

Scentbird sends out authentic perfume each month in smaller vials for you to try them out, or switch up your scent more often.
When you sign up, you fill out a survey to determine your scent preferences, and they recommend specific scents for you to try out. You add perfumes to your queue when you find one that you want to try which is how they choose what to send each month. If you don't choose one by the cut off date, they will send you the scent of the month. Next month it is Capri by Vince Camuto.
Scentbird includes a twist up perfume atomizer with your first shipment. You can order additional atomizers on their website for an additional fee.
When you subscribe to Scentbird, you'll get a $15.00 "credit" each month to buy a full sized bottle of cologne - this doesn't look like it is cumulative, and seems more like a member's discount.
Scentbird has also introduced a new a la carte service. You can choose any cologne you want, with each spray being just $16.95 plus shipping (shipping is free if you order 3 or more sprays). The cases are sold separately.
This month, the next perfume in my queue was Acuqa di Gioia by Armani. Some of you might remember that I also received this last month - I had no idea a perfume could be in your queue twice, let alone back-to-back. I have rescheduled the perfumes in my queue to make sure I get a bit more of a variety from here on out!
It has notes of Mint, Brown Sugar, Lemon, Jasmine, Peony, Pink Pepper, Cedarwood, and Labdanum. This is one of the freshest, most beautiful scents with my chemistry. I get asked quite often when I wear it, what it is that I'm wearing, and I LOVE smelling it on myself - which is weird. I know. I am excited to get a travel size version of this scent, and I'm hoping Scentbird gets the other, newer versions of this perfume so I can try the new ones and compare them to the original!
Verdict: The value of my perfume this month comes out to about $11.12. I have a habit of picking the lower value ones I guess! This subscription is really dependent on which perfume you choose when it comes to value, and I'm always happiest when I chose scents that I love versus scents that are expensive. So I am always happy with the value of this subscription. I also like the size of these vials because they're perfect for travel, and they're cheaper than rollerballs (I prefer a spritz anyway!).
