I am the type of person who likes to match my fragrance to my mood. I change it up constantly—one day, I’ll be wearing something dark, gourmand, and moody, and the next, I’ll opt for something bright, floral, and light. Because of my inclination to swap scents, I have a massive perfume collection.
If I actually bought all the full-sized bottles of perfume that I wear, my bank account would be in the negatives. That’s where perfume subscriptions come in. If you, like me, want to have options (or just try new perfume on a budget!) a perfume subscription might be the right move for you. Luckily, there’s a perfume subscription tailored to every need, whether you’re looking to build a solid foundation of scents or want to try as many different perfumes as you can. Keep reading for our favorite options on the market.
