Each box comes with a card detailing the items included and the theme.
Scent from Paris Candle – Value $15?
This soy wax candle has a 40 hour burn time. The scent is described as White Truffle & Cognac. I found the scent to be somewhat sweet. I’m still deciding if I like it or not!
Mini Rose Velvet Candle – Value $4?
This candle is mini! It doesn’t specify the size on the label, but I’m guessing 2 oz. This candle has a perfumy rose scent and would be perfect in a powder room.
Scent from Paris Print Mug – Value $10?
This is an exclusive design for subscribers!
I like the simple design of this mug, and from what I can tell it is dishwasher safe, too!
Chocolate Heart Truffles & Fruit Cremes – Value $8?
This set included 2 heart truffles, plus fruit cremes in raspberry and strawberry.
This box arrived a little after Valentine’s Day (it ships from the UK), but theses were still a welcome treat at our house!
Verdict: This box has a value of about $37 (using my estimates). I think that’s good for the $31.38 cost, especially considering this box has free shipping from the UK. I also really like the idea of mixing candles and a home item or two. The mug was a nice surprise! The scents themselves haven’t all been hits for me, though. (So far I prefer the scents from my Next by Nest subscription more.)
What do you think of Scent From?
I cancelled after my discount month, February. It was just okay. I agree with the review that the hero candle is too sweet. And I don’t need another coffee cup.
I swear the cost of the box is 19.99 plus 5.99 shipping coming out to 26ish all together. I swear I have posted this but know one ever reply’s. Same thing with the forum. Busy I guess.
I get this subscription as well and December was good but lately it’s less and less candles and more other items. I signed up because I thought it was a candle subscription and a hero item…. But I thought the hero item would be based on candles. I didn’t sign up to a candle subscription box to recieve a coffee cup or chocolate’s or milky lotion…..
Thanks for pointing that out! I believe they used to charge shipping separately but it is included for US customers now, so the total is just under $26.
Spoke too soon – looks like it’s regularly $2.99 shipping, not free.
