Buying your perfume online can be quite the risk, especially if you’re doing so on a gifting basis. While expert perfumers try their best to encapsulate a scent’s notes on paper, it isn’t until the perfumes oils mix with the heat of your own skin that you can truly understand whether a fragrance will be to your liking. And that’s why, with Mother’s Day less than a week away, fragrance discovery sets are a gifting godsend.
This March, Cult Beauty has released its sweet spritz fragrance edit (£40, Cultbeauty.co.uk) that features 10 different sugary, fruity and gourmand perfumes from a selection of luxe, industry-adored brands. Unlike many discovery sets, this bundle houses more than mere thimbles of fragrance and, on the contrary, you’ll take home a total 59.5ml of perfume. Not only does this exceed the quantity you get in some full-size perfume bottles – Glossier, for instance – but it gives you (or mum) the freedom to explore all four corners of the sweet scenting realm.
