Scentbird is a perfume subscription 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., floral, woody, spicy, etc.) or more general descriptive terms (e.g., mysterious, classic, flirty). Subscribers also receive a monthly discount code that can be used on full-size bottles of perfume or cologne from the Scentbird shop.
This box was sent to us at no cost for review. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes.)

Scentbird for Women March 2018 Review
This month, I received Scentbird's “Scent of the Month.” You can either opt for the scent of the month or you can fill a queue with fragrances of your choosing:
There was what is basically an advertising flyer for this month’s scent, “In Full Bloom” by Kate Spade.
Some months, you will get a new case for your fragrance, but in months where a new case doesn’t come, your glass fragrance vial is packaged inside a cardboard tube that includes directions on how to replace the fragrance vials in the holders. (I know from personal experience that you can absolutely spray the fragrance vials without them being in holders at all, but if you want to carry one around in your purse, the holders are nice to have around.)
In Full Bloom by Kate Spade – Estimated Value $7.80 (buy 3.4 oz bottle for $98)
I have some Kate Spade jewelry but had never tried any of her fragrances. This one really lives up to its name, with rose, lotus, and peony standing out most. This also has green tea, peach, lemon, and some generic “green” notes, but it is STRONGLY floral, with the floral scent lasting much of the day. I am honestly not such a big fan of floral fragrances and will probably not wear this one often. I do think the general category of the scent of the month varies from month to month, so it still may be worth taking a chance if you like to change things up. You won’t get something floral every single month.
Verdict: This month’s fragrance didn’t meet the price point of the subscription, but if you are interested in getting the best value, you can fill your queue with expensive scents. I definitely still think there is value in getting smaller amounts of fragrance to try, either with the goal of finding your signature scent or with the goal of building up a fragrance wardrobe for less money than buying a bunch of full-size bottles.
