Perfume Subscription Services in India
Check out these perfume subscription options available in India and take your pick.
Scent Club
You don’t need to hesitate before splurging on a costly perfume brand without being sure of the fragrance anymore. A premium perfume subscription company, Scent Club, allows you to purchase miniature tester bottles first to check out which one would suit your personality the best. These perfume decanters are handmade and the perfumes are poured from the original bottles. Subscribe to the service and their experts will give you the opportunity to try out different fragrance samples, both for men and women.
How it Works
Start by answering 4 simple questions. Once you are done, the Scent Club professionals will curate perfumes for you. After your type has been decided, they will deliver a collection of three perfume testers of your choice from global designer brands. You will be able to use the perfumes for up to 40 sprays. This is a monthly subscription. So, in one month, you get a new set of perfumes, either selected personally or handpicked by the professionals. You can, however, choose your subscriptions as monthly, half-yearly, or annually.
