August Secret Scent Box Review

August Secret Scent Box review
I love surprises, especially when it comes to fragrances! Guys, my collection is growing, help me (actually don't, I am having fun with this haha).. I liked last month's box but I didn't get a chance to post about it because I had a little vacation to London.

Secret Scent Box is a monthly perfume subscription box that helps you discover designer perfumes or aftershave. The supply lasts 30 days, allowing you to try new fragrances and see if you like them. 

Read on to find out my thoughts on the 3 designer scents they sent me this month

August Secret Scent Box Review

What's inside August's Secret Scent Box?

Versace Dylan Purple

Top notes: Bitter Orange, Pear Juice
Middle notes: Purple Freesia, Pomarose, Mahonial
Base notes: Cedarwood, Ambrofix, Sylkolide

First Impressions

This is a new scent for the Secret Scent Box. Dylan Purple is a bright and elegant fragrance that is perfect for day and night wear. I was pleasantly surprised by this; it's intense, bursting with florals and fruits. I really like this one.

I checked out the bottle too, and wow, it looks really nice!

Would I purchase it?

Yes

Elle Free Spirit 

Top notes: Exotic Fruits, Bergamot, Violet Leaf
Middle notes: Water Jasmine, Lily of the Valley, Heliotrope
Base notes: Vetiver, Patchouli, Blonde Woods, Honey

First Impressions

A very empowering scent with exotic fruits and violet, with lovely soft floral notes. I love anything with violet inside, I don't see it enough, so it's nice to see it! 

The bottle is cute, too!

Would I purchase it?
Maybe

Calvin Klein Sheer Beauty

Top notes: Bergamot, Red Berries, Peach Bellini
Middle notes: Peony, Jasmine, Pink Lily
Base notes: Musk, Sandalwood, Vanilla Orchid

First Impressions

I really like this perfume so far; it's delicate and perfect for everyday wear. I like the blend of fruits and flowers. I like how refreshing it is. 

Would I purchase it?

Maybe




Final Thoughts

As much as I have enjoyed trying Secret Scent Box, I think it's best to cancel my subscription with them for a while, I know I said that last month. I think it's a little on the expensive side, and some of the perfumes they send aren't much more than the price of this box. I have had fun discovering new perfumes with them. Lots of fun!

If you love trying something new, I would definitely recommend them for sure. 

Thanks so much for ready my review of this month's secret scent box. Check out my other perfume reviews for more perfume goodness!

  2. I like the idea of trying out a fragrance but honestly, for the price, you're better off going to the Macy's counter and asking for a sample. I do that too with Instagram ads.

  3. Sounds like fun getting these mystery boxes! I love surprises myself! I have a family member who loves perfumes! She’s obsessed with nice smells! She says they make her feel good and soothes her! I dont really wear perfumes. My family is trying to get me into wearing some light scents! We’ll see! Thanks gor sharing!

  4. I don’t always get the chance to splurge on new perfumes, so a subscription box like this sounds like the perfect little treat. I love how you broke down each scent with your first impressions—it makes it easy to imagine how they smell.
