Sephora Favorites Fall Perfume Travel Sampler Review

Sephora Perfume info

Here is the info sheet for the perfumes included. On the other side is the information you need to redeem for your rollerball or travel spray, so make sure to keep this safe!

Sephora Perfume Chloe

Chloé Nomade Eau de Parfum, 0.04 oz – Estimated Value $3.64 (Certificate redeems for a $30 0.33 oz travel spray)

This perfume was a winner, with notes of oakmoss, freesia, and Mirabelle liquor. It is a free-spirited floral that makes me want to wear a flower crown while I walk around barefoot. This had the staying power to hang with me all day, but I wouldn't classify it as a "strong" fragrance- it is definitely more light and airy.

Sephora Perfume Armani

Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gioia Eau de Parfum, 0.04 oz – Estimated Value $2.91 (Certificate redeems for a $24 0.34 oz rollerball)

I’ve owned this perfume before and enjoyed it. The combination of mint, jasmine, lemon, and brown sugar really makes for an alluring scent—it isn’t too strong or cloying, but it doesn’t hide in the background either. This lasted throughout the day and I kept smelling my arm where I applied it.

Sephora Perfume Prada

Prada Candy Sugar Pop Eau de Parfum, 0.05 oz – Estimated Value $4.11 (Certificate redeems for a $28 0.34 oz rollerball)

Even though the name is literally "candy sugar pop," this perfume is more crisp than sweet thanks to the notes of apple, vanilla, and green bergamot. I found it to have good staying power with my body's chemistry, and the addition of peach and citrus balances what would be an overly sweet fragrance to one that is more sophisticated. 

Sephora Perfume burberry

Burberry My Burberry Blush Eau de Parfum, 0.06 oz -  Estimated Value $7.20 (Certificate redeems for a $30 0.25 oz rollerball)

I had high expectations for this perfume since it carries the Burberry name, and I was not disappointed. This includes notes of pomegranate, rose, and jasmine, and while this is in the floral family the addition of the pomegranate and lemon adds brightness. I am a big fan of this and it wore well on me.

Sephora Perfume YSL

YSL Black Opium Eau de Parfum, 0.04 oz - Estimated Value $3.41 (Certificate redeems for a $29 0.34 oz rollerball)

This is a stronger fragrance compared to some of the others in this set, with notes of coffee, vanilla, orange blossom, and patchouli. I liked how bold this scent was- it definitely is the kind of perfume I would reach for before going out or if I had a hot date planned. I thought the wear on this was a little shorter than some of the other perfumes, but it still was long-lasting.

Sephora Perfume tory

Tory Burch Eau de Parfum, 0.05 oz - Estimated Value $7.50 (Certificate redeems for a $30 0.20 oz rollerball)

I would classify this perfume as the most refreshing in the bunch, with notes of grapefruit, cassis, peony, and neroli. This had a good wear time on me, but I would classify this scent as more of a spring or summer fragrance rather than fall.

The Verdict: This kit had some high and low points for me- both the Burberry and Chloé fragrances could become my go-to everyday perfume, but since the Chloé was included in the last Sephora Favorites perfume travel sampler that was released (read my review here), I decided to redeem my certificate for the Burberry fragrance. I am a bit bummed that the Acqua Di Gioia perfume made another appearance- this is my third time reviewing these perfume sampler kits, and that perfume was included each and every time. Overall, though, I thought all of the perfumes in this set were very solid, and the value is there if you're looking for a new perfume!

To Wrap Up:

Can you still get this box if you sign up today? Yes, as of publication, this set is still available!

Value Breakdown: This kit costs $25 + $5.95 shipping, bringing the total to $30.95. I received $28.77 worth of perfume samples plus a voucher to redeem for my choice of rollerball that ranges in price from $24-$30.

I am a staunch believer that pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza and when I’m not working as a family law attorney I enjoy hiking the Louisiana trails (alligator sightings are a favorite!) or relaxing with Duchess, my cat. I’m a sucker for anything labeled a mystery box and I’ve never met a bath bomb I didn’t like.

Thank you for reviewing this fragrance kit Jessica 🙂 I always get the impression that certain scents are repeated in these kits since they all kind of look the same to me, but I never really know, so it’s nice to know which ones are repeats. At least for those that are repeats you now know you won’t have to redeem your certificate for it (assuming you like it) since you’ll keep getting them. 🙂
