I used to be the type of person who only bought fragrances in large bottles, the bigger the better, seeing them as a long-term investment and often without smelling the fragrance first. As I’ve matured, I’ve become much more of a fan of smaller fragrance sizes and discovery sets, as they allow me to sample a much larger array of scents and keep my fragrance library full. I can mix and match and I get to try something new every single day. This is one of the reasons I love a fragrance discovery set, because (the clue is in the name) your next fragrance love might be just about to be discovered.
Since February is almost here, and with that brings the day for celebrating Valentine’s and Galentine’s, another great way to utilise a fragrance discovery set is to purchase it as a gift with a voucher to buy a full-sized version of whichever the receiver’s favourite might be. I love this so much as it comes across as so incredibly thoughtful, yet it’s such an easy and fuss free gift-giving experience, so it’s a winner for both sides!
I remember first coming across Escentric Molecules and their fascinating focus on Iso E Super, a fragrance molecule heavily featured in the background of many popular scents, which they brought to the foreground and made it the spotlight note – I don’t really remember experiencing anything else like it and it quickly generated a large following, The brand added to their line with the Escentric Molecules + collection which basically involved adding a single additional note to Iso E Super and these scents are available in generously sized sample sprays (8.5ml) that feature in the Escentric Molecules + Discovery Set. The set includes:
Molecule 01 + Patchouli
Molecule 01 + Iris
Molecule 01 + Mandarin
Molecule 01 + Guaiac Wood
Molecule 01 + Black Tea
Molecule 01 + Ginger
It is such a lovely selection with a really good variety, but my absolute favourite is Molecule 01 + Mandarin, because it’s so bright, fresh and juicy, it’s just a real mood-booster that makes you feel instantly better. The set is £55 here and all the fragrances featured in the set are available in two different sizes here.
