Can’t Choose One Scent? Try a Discovery Set

Words by Ruby Devlin

The world of fragrance is vast, which means that finding ‘the one’ can sometimes feel a little overwhelming.

That’s where discovery sets come in: an invitation to explore, wear and experience a selection of scents. Perfect for travel, gifting or expanding your fragrance wardrobe, they offer the best of a new brand, without the commitment of a full-sized bottle.

Here are some of our favourites…

The most famous of all – Baccarat Rouge 540, a collaboration with the crystal maker – is included in this suite of eight elegant scents, designed to ‘stop you in your tracks’. Perfect for the person who wants to discover a new forever signature.
