The 7 Best Perfume Subscription Boxes to Help You Find Your Signature Scent

Scentbird was a first-of-its-kind perfume subscription box when it launched in 2013, and it’s still one of the most popular options today. For $16.95 per month, you’ll receive an 8 mL bottle of fragrance, which holds about 120 sprays to tide you over until your next shipment. If you want more choices, you can upgrade your plan to get up to three bottles for $37 per month. Scentbird has a vast library of over 700 scents, including popular brands like Ariana Grande, Dolce & Gabbana, and Parfums de Marly, plus full-size skin care and makeup products you can access with your subscription. You can browse themed sections like clean scents and TikTok-viral fragrances to select your favorite or take a quiz to get paired with one.

Scentbird will then send you suggestions based on your past samples, and you’ll be able to add new (or tried-and-true) perfumes or colognes to your queue each subscription cycle. You can choose to have your scents shipped monthly, every two months, or every three months, and every first order comes with a sleek atomizer case to dress up your vials.

A few things to note: Limited run, luxe options labeled “Scentbird Select” will tack $10 onto your order. Still, you can cancel at any time and have the option to purchase full-size perfumes if you fall in love with a particular scent.

Price: $8.47 for your first month, $16.95 per month thereafter

What’s included: 8 mL bottle of fragrance; free atomizer case on your first order

Free shipping: Yes

A Scentbird reviewer says: “I’m enjoying gradually finding my favorite scents. Scentbird makes it easy to find what I’m looking for and they make great suggestions based on my profile they helped me create. The prices are fair, and I appreciate that I can cancel anytime...no contracts or fees. They even make suggestions based on my quiz responses.”

Not to be confused with Scentbird, Scentbox came onto the scene a few years later and offers a similar subscription model. The base rate for subscriptions starts at $16.95, plus you can cancel anytime, enjoy free shipping, and opt to receive up to three 8 mL vials per month or choose from a variety of full-size fragrance products. A key difference, though: Scentbox offers three-tiered plans to choose from depending on your budget and preferences. The Standard plan goes for the base rate and gives you access to 600+ perfumes from niche and designer brands. Meanwhile, the Premium and Platinum plans, starting at $22 per month, giving you access to at least 850 perfumes and the site’s most luxurious offerings. While this tiered system does give you more variety, note that some of the most covetable perfumes may be locked behind the higher tiers, so you may get FOMO unless you’re willing to splurge.

Another unique aspect of Scentbox is that you get a new metallic atomizer case with every order, which includes the name of the scent on the bottom for easy viewing. You also have the option to exchange a scent for free if it ends up not being your thing.

Price: $9.72 to $44.70 per month for your first box, depending on your plan; $16.95 to $77.95 per month thereafter based on your plan tier

What’s included: One to three 8 mL bottles and a new atomizer case every month

Shipping: Free

A Scentbox reviewer says: “My experience with Scentbox has been exceptional. I love having the name of the fragrance on the bottom, unlike others where you need to remove the vial! I also really appreciate getting a new case with each scent so I don’t need to keep switching.”

Clean beauty fiends and those with sensitive skin will be obsessed with the Tiktok-viral fragrance brand Skylar. Each of the label’s perfumes is made without the use of 36 fragrance allergens, animal byproducts, sulfates, artificial dyes, and more than 1,300 ingredients banned by the EU to ensure they’re entirely hypoallergenic, vegan, and cruelty-free.

For $20 a month, you’ll receive one of the brand’s rollerballs valued at $30. You can either select any rollerball from the site, opt into the brand’s monthly limited-edition scent, or take a quiz to get matched with one. You also have the option to skip, swap, or add to your box each month. Each new rollerball added to your box will also cost you $20, but as a Scent Club member, you’ll earn points toward future purchases. What’s more, members enjoy perks like 20 percent off all other Skylar products. Boxes ship on a monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly basis, and although shipping will cost you at least $4.95 to start, shipping is free on boxes over $50.

Even better, each rollerball is fully recyclable, and Skylar donates a portion of proceeds from every box to a different charity each month. Plus if you sign up now, Skylar is offering a welcome box valued at $80 for $20, which comes with a full-size rollerball, a discovery set with five samples, and a perfume stand that holds up to 12 rollerballs.

Price: $20 a month

What’s included: One 10 mL rollerball

A Skylar reviewer says: “I am really enjoying Skylar. So glad I gave it a try. Now I don’t have to avoid fragrance and there are so many great options. The scent club is a great way to try new scents. Also customer support is quick to respond for any help needed. I highly recommend!”

If you don’t want to commit to receiving a fragrance every month, consider signing up for The Fragrance Club, which offers both monthly and bi-monthly subscriptions.

Receiving Wicked Good Perfume’s subscription box is like opening gifts on Christmas morning. You get a little bit of what you’ve had your eye on, plus a few surprises you can’t wait to rip open. Every box comes with a full-sized perfume and travel-friendly roller in one of the brand’s limited-edition scents—both of which are designed to be layered. Plus, you get two mystery fragrances, such as a bath bomb, body butter, scrub, or candle. These scents are handcrafted in small batches in Chicago, helping to reduce their carbon footprint, and are also made with sustainably sourced botanicals and essential oils. Additionally, they’re free of harmful additives like phthalates, parabens, and petroleum and are vegan and cruelty-free.

Price: $34.99 per box for one-month subscription, $33 for three months subscription, $29.83 for a six-month subscription

What’s included: Full-sized perfume and travel-friendly roller, as well as two surprise items

Shipping: Free U.S. shipping, Canada $25, worldwide $35

A Wicked Good Perfume reviewer says: “Hands down the best aroma-based box out there. And among all my subscription boxes (and I have many), this is one of the top few. Every box I’ve received has been top-quality and gift-worthy. The smells are exquisite and unique, multi-purpose, varied. I get the box that has a roller, a spray, and another item(s). I use all of them throughout the month. The body spray and roller are great for my car or my desk or my purse or my gym bag. You will not find these fragrances at any store, and you will get compliments. Just try, and you will be hooked! Even just the box it comes in smells out of this world. ‘Wicked Good’ is no exaggeration, and these mixologists are indeed magical.”
