Congratulations. Now that you are a part of our ever growing Scentbird family, here is how to unbox the secrets and make the most of your subscription. If you are just getting started, our beginner-friendly Perfume 101 guides are a helpful companion.

Choose Your First Product

Choose Your First Product

When you first subscribe to Scentbird, you have a 12-hour window to choose your first product. In addition to our carefully curated fragrance portfolio, Scentbird has launched its own bath + body collection. All of the above is included in your subscription.

• Log into your account.
• Drag the fragrance or product you want into your personal queue.
• Have a few items in mind. Arrange them in the order you want to receive them, monthly.

This try-before-you-buy approach means you can live with a scent for about 30 days before committing to a full-size bottle. It keeps exploration affordable and fun. Research shows sampling products before buying can reduce buyer’s remorse and increase satisfaction, which is one reason sampling models like ours remain popular with modern shoppers.

Not sure what you want. If you make no selection, you will receive the Fragrance of the Month for any and all months that you do not pre-select. Our team of fragrance enthusiasts hand-picks the monthly offering, so you are in good hands.

• Do not forget: Select your order by the 5th of every month. All orders are locked in after this point.
• Pro tip: Revisit your queue before the cutoff to reorder, add, or swap items so your next shipment matches your mood and season.

Take the Quiz

Take the Quiz

If you do not know what types of scents you might be interested in trying, check out our tailored Scent Quiz. Log in to your account and click on Recommendations at the top of the page. We use an algorithm that considers community feedback to help you narrow down which scents to try.

• Community reviews are note-focused and performance-oriented, which helps you gauge longevity and projection.
• Influencer inspiration can spark ideas on how and where to wear a scent.
• Together with Scentbird’s quiz, you get balanced guidance that blends emotion and data.

Quick refresher as you answer quiz prompts:

• Top notes are your first impression.
• Heart notes shape the character.
• Base notes like amber, vanilla, sandalwood, and musk add lasting power.
• Fresh citrus feels bright and clean, woody reads warm and grounded, and vanilla-forward blends lean cozy and comforting.

Lather up + Live fresh

Lather up + Live fresh

You love fragrances, and you put care into what you use daily. That is why we created a range of bath + body must-haves you can enjoy within your subscription. As part of your plan, you can add a Scentbird product to your queue in place of a fragrance.

• Start in the shower with body washes, exfoliating scrubs, and jelly cleansers that prep the skin.
• Lock in hydration with nourishing hand cream.
• Set the mood at home with Scentbird candles when you want a scent swap from personal fragrance.

Subscribers often alternate months between fragrance and bath + body to build a full routine that smells great and feels consistent day to day.

Smart Setup: Your First Month, Step by Step

• Pick your first scent within the onboarding window.
• Add two to four backups to your queue so you never miss a month.
• Use Recommendations and the Scent Quiz to match your vibe and occasion.
• Aim to confirm selections before the 5th to lock in your pick.
• Explore bath + body or candles when you want a fragrance break.
• Share your referral link to earn free months as your friends join.

Why subscriptions help you discover your signature scent

• Live with a scent for about a month to test it in real life before buying a full bottle.
• Mix designer favorites with niche discoveries and Scentbird exclusives.
• Enjoy authentic products and transparent sourcing, delivered in travel-friendly vials that make sampling easy.
• Manage everything from your dashboard: queue, upcoming shipments, and more.

If you want evidence that sampling improves purchase confidence, studies on product trial show trials increase conversion and loyalty, which is part of why fragrance sampling services continue to be adopted by consumers interested in discovery and convenience.
