Secret Scent Box Review – January: Which Scents are Inside?
First, I am Melissa, a certified perfume addict, you will often find me in Boots and perfume shops sampling new perfumes. I am always on the lookout for new perfumes to try, so that’s why I am trying Secret Scent Box.
Secret Scent Box is a monthly perfume subscription box that helps you discover designer perfumes or aftershave. The supply lasts 30 days, so you can try new fragrances to see if you like them.
Read on to find out my thoughts on the 3 designer scents they sent me this month.
My morning routine is usually waking up, showering, putting my perfume on and doing my prayers, putting perfume on is part of my routine and something small that makes me so happy.
What’s inside the Secret Scent January Box?
Jimmy Choo – Rose Passion
A new fragrance to the Jimmy Choo fragrance line, this is a floral ambery scent.
Top note: Coconut Water, Frangipani Flower
Middle notes: Orchid, Jasmine
Base notes: Vanilla, Sandalwood
First impressions
I have never tried any perfumes from Jimmy Choo before, but I have heard of the brand before because of their popular shoes. I love this perfume so far. It has a fresh floral scent with a hint of vanilla which is stunning!
I am a big fan of floral perfume fan so this hit all the right notes for me, especially with the blend of vanilla, just delicious.
Would I purchase it?
YES! I need to add this to my collection in the future.
Burberry – Brit Sheer
This is an eau de toilette and is a lively romantic fragrance. It’s described as perfect for wearing during the day.
Top notes: Sweet Lycee, Yuzu, Pineapple, Mandarin
Middle notes: Peony, Pear, Peach Blossom
Base notes: White Musk, White Woods
First Impressions
As with the Jimmy Choo perfume, I have never sampled a Burberry perfume before. I really like this so far, it’s a beautiful burst of fresh fruit and subtle flowers. I think it’s perfect for everyday wear like at work or at college. I would 100% wear this at college as a training makeup artist.
Would I purchase it?
Maybe? I prefer more of an eccentric perfume but this is beautiful so maybe this will grow on me, who knows?
Banana Republic – Wildbloom Vert
This perfume is designed for a relaxed and spontaneous woman who enjoys nature and the outdoors.
Top notes: Pear, Red Apple, Violet Leaf
Middle notes: Gardenia, Magnolia, Peach Blossom
Base notes: Coconut, Musk, Sandalwood, Teak Wood
First impressions
Well, it’s 3 out of 3, brands I have never tried before; I’ve hit the jackpot! I have tried this a couple of times and WOW! It’s like fresh apples with a hint of violet, peach and coconut, so delicious. It’s a gorgeous blend of flowers and fruit. It definitely gives outdoor vibes.
Would I purchase it?
I might in the summer when I go on longer walks, it’s so delicious! So glad I got the chance to sample it.
Final Thoughts
For the price, I think it’s a fabulous way of trying new perfumes without breaking the bank! Every month there is something new which I think is a fun way of trying perfumes, you never know you might find some new favourites.
Look out in future, I might have added some of these to my collection for a more in-depth review.
I love the packaging, the box is handy for jewellery or keeping little trinkets inside. The little sample bottles can be refilled, so perfect for travel.
Lovelies, I can’t tell you all how excited to try next month’s box
What is your favourite perfume?

A surprise scent box sounds like a fun way to mix things up each month. It’s always nice to try something new!
Trying new scents each month sounds like a fun surprise. It’s great to see how the right fragrance can set the mood for the whole month.

I love the idea of having tester samples of different brands of perfume. They sound lovely
I would love to try these, such an amazing idea….I love to test out this scent box, I can't wait…
What a unique box and I love the idea of a scent box as I seldom try new scents so this would get me to try new perfumes

Wow that a great scent box. I love perfumes. Will check out its subscription.
This review is so detailed and helpful, I love how you described each scent so vividly! The Secret Scent Box sounds like such a fun way to discover new fragrances every month. I should consider getting myself one.

Such a nice idea to be able to try out new scents and releases. I always find that even though I wear perfume every day I don't go through it very quick so I rarely ever buy new ones haha x
All three scents sound lovely! I like the smell of roses, so I'd love to try the Jimmy Choo fragrance.

I totally understand preferring more eccentric scents, but sometimes it’s nice to have a versatile fragrance in the collection!
Discovering new perfumes sounds like fun! I tend to stick to scents for quite a while but when I do change I go sniffing around in a store. This sounds way easier

Loving this review of the Secret Scent Box! I’m always on the lookout for little treats and this sounds like the perfect way to try new fragrances without the cost. My mum would love this too.

Love the idea of such mystery subscription boxes for it is always delightful to open them! But for me, given how much I use the items in the end, not really a useful thing…

I like that you get to try different scents every time. I love perfume and I currently have Jimmy Choo. I'd like to try Burberry, too. -Lynndee

I do love my perfumes, I subscribe to a different one where you can choose a scent sample each month. Which is a great way to try new perfumes and aftershaves. I am intrigued by this box and the scents you were sent are my go to fragrances. Am definitely going to look into this

This is a perfect gift idea too. Even the box and the bottle are great, love it!
This sounds great as I love discovering new scents. The wildbloom passion one sounds like on I'd wear!

I agree – for that price, it's a great way to try out new scents without committing. Thank you for sharing your review.

You did indeed hit a jackpot with all 3 perfumes enjoyed and appreciated. A good scent is so hard to come by. I prefer going to the mall to find what I like and never get samples via mail, as I am super picky about any scent.
Thank you for sharing your wins!
I love this box, too! I don't like buying big perfumes because I don't use them often, but I still love nice fragrances. I think the Secret Scent Box would work for me!

I love the idea of a sampler perfume box, and this one sounds particularly good. When the "worst" one is a maybe, that's a strong showing.

I love this concept, and I see so many brands doing this now. I like the fact I can try them before I buy the whole bottle because some of these scents are expensive like Jimmy Choo!

This sounds like a great box overall. Even the least favorite was still a maybe. I'd try them.

I've never heard of this, but it's such a cool concept! I need to order myself one of these boxes to try it out myself and find my next signature scent.
