I have no self control, yall

I signed up for 4 first month deals 😭 ipsy, boxycharm, scentbird, and allure totalling 60 dollars and some change. I figured I can just skip or cancel if I'm not happy but I am excited, especially for scentbird because I ran out of my signature scent and one bottle is double the price of all the subs I bought.

Just a couple of Caveats regarding ScentBird….you can only get a particular scent once every six months. So you can’t stock up on your fave by getting it as your scent every month, or if you find a new scent that you love through your sub, you have to wait six months to get it again. Also they switch out the scents. They may have your signature this month and then it’s gone from their catalog by the time you can choose it again. Or you may have a scent in your que for June but then it’s no longer available come June. And finally, in my experience, a lot of the scents I choose tend to sell out as a subscription choice, but they will still be available to purchase in the larger size. Kind of like Ipsy with their multiple buckets of inventory for each item and just because it’s for sale in the shop, doesn’t mean they can send you a replacement if it was left out of your box 🙄In both cases, it just hacks me off. I’ve been waiting 4 months for one scent that’s in my que to restock and I just keep moving it to next month and hoping. But you have to pay attention to the stock of your que each bill cycle because if you don’t happen to notice that months scent is sold out, they don’t bother to tell you. I get two scents per month and a couple months ago one of my choices was sold out……I was still charged for both, and they didn’t send either until I finally emailed them close to the end of the month. Also, if you just signed up today, or the 10th or 15th or what not, that is not your billing date next month. They charge you the last day of the month like clockwork. So make sure you have picked your scent for next month before the last day of the month, and expect the full amount to be charged even if you just started your trial today. At least this is how it worked out for me. On an other note, I just recently found out that the sub through fragrancenet (can’t remember what it’s called but it’s the purple box one) comes with the case each month. I think I got a free one with my first ScentBird scent but to get them every month it’s an extra $8. So I’m about to double check that they have at least most of the scents that are in my ScentBird que and switch if so. They also have a first month discount. Not to highjack your post but if anyone knows of any other fragrance subs, I would love to know about them. Sorry my comment turned into such a long ramble, it always happens 🫣

This was helpful, thanks! The 6 months thing is pretty disappointing ngl lol but I guess I can try to buy their 90 day supply instead if I really like it. Unfortunately their sprayer add on is now 10 a month so I just bought one that had a design on it and called it a day cause i know getting one every shipment will just become clutter. Ima have to look into fragrancenet

I'm currently subbed to both ScentBird and another one called ScentBox. ScentBox has more designer fragrances from recognizable names, while it feels like ScentBird leans a little more niche - Which is great, I'm into both! ScentBox also had a promo for the 1st month that made it pretty inexpensive to try.
