FRAGRANCE DISCOVERY SETS THAT JUST MAKE *SCENTS*

What’s that we smell? A new fragrance discovery set, of course.  

Allowing you to sample a range of fragrances at once, a discovery set is often the ideal way to try out *that* viral fragrance without having to commit to a big bottle. And that’s not all... if you want to be the kind of person who has a signature scent, this is the easiest way, as it narrows down which brands and fragrances you prefer.  

Plus, if you’re jetting off on holiday or going travelling these are just the ticket to take with you, so you can: a) smell divine every day, b) save on precious suitcase space and c) beat the liquids limit if you’re just taking a carry-on. 

Perhaps the best thing of all is that they make excellent gifts! Hint, hint...

BYREDO scents are seriously covetable, so you’d be forgiven for wanting to try three of them at once.

The Blanche is a truly enchanting blend, featuring top notes of white rose and pink pepper, before melding into a heart of neroli and a base of musk and sandalwood. Rose of No Man's Land celebrates the nickname given to nurses by soldiers during World War One, with Turkish rose petals, raspberry blossom and white amber. And if you want to smell the fresh scent of spring all year round, La Tulipe is a bouquet that bottles the aroma of a wild flower garden, with freesia, cyclamen and, of course, tulip accords.
