Scentbird is a cologne subscription for women and men where you choose one fragrance per month. They offer a variety of authentic designer scents and allow you to narrow down by either traditional categories for notes (e.g., citrusy, woodsy, spicy, etc.) or more general descriptive terms (e.g., casual, workout, going out). Subscribers also receive a monthly discount code that can be used on full-size bottles of perfume or cologne from the Scentbird shop.

Scentbird always sends a preview card that features the following month's feature fragrance - For December, the featured scent is Cambride Knight, by English Laundry. The scent's notes are Wood, Bay Leaf, Grapefruit, and Aquatic, all of which sound nice and pretty fresh - I think I may add this scent for an upcoming delivery!
Now let's take a look at the scent I chose to receive for November!
Light Blue Swimming in Lipari by Dolce & Gabbana, 8ml - Estimated Value $3.67 (buy a 4.2 oz bottle for $56.99)
This cologne is described as a combination of sea salt and uplifting grapefruit notes with inviting essence of mandarin orange and rosemary musk. I used to use Light Blue way back in the day but grew away from it in the past few years. Happy to see that they came out with different variations because this stuff is great! It has a more "musky" scent than regular light blue and overall, I think I like this one even more than the regular. If you're a fan of light blue and have used it in the past, I suggest you give this one a try!
Verdict: I continue to be impressed with Scentbird and the service they provide. I tend to get bored with my colognes over time, so this service is a great way for me to test scents I wouldn't normally buy in the store. I picked a less expensive cologne this month (I always tend to do that!), so the value received is about 1/4 of the cost of the subscription. This doesn't bother me as I'm quite happy with the scent and happy to expand my cologne collection.
