Discovery Club from The Fragrance Shop 6th Edition Review

It's #TriedAndTestedTuesday again lovelies! This week I'm reviewing the 6th Edition of the Discovery Club boxes from The Fragrance Shop. 

The Discovery Club is a subscription service that costs £25 a year, with boxes coming out every quarter. It aims to introduce you to new and exciting fragrances as well as reminding you of some old classics. It is the perfect way to try out new scents as each new season approaches, so you can update your perfumes without any costly mistakes.

The box contains 7 little sample vials which apparently have a combined value of about £10, but there's also £40 worth of money off vouchers, so when you've chosen your favourite you can get it a little bit cheaper!

But as well as indulging yourself, if you sign up for the Discovery Club subscription, 5p from each subscription will be donated to Rays of Sunshine Children's Charity. This scheme has so far raised over £200,000 for seriously ill children across the UK.

As you can see there's quite a variety in the scents in each edition, including 2 for men (they have to smell nice too!). I've spent a very stressful afternoon trying them all out (huge personal sacrifice ;] ) and you can read my thoughts on each of them below:

1. Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire Couture (Eau de Parfum) - 30ml £43.50 - this is the third in Guerlain's La Petite Robe Noire Collection. It's described in the handy little booklet from The Fragrance Shop as a "woody, floral, vivacious scent" and I completely agree. It's a very sophisticated scent, that is perfect for summer nights. I think it's a bit heavy for the day, but we all have our own preferences with fragrance. I really like this perfume, it and it's classy bottle both ooze Parisienne chic.
2. Givenchy Very Irresistible L'Eau en Rose (Eau de Toilette) - 50ml £51.99 - 10 years after the original Very Irresistible, Givenchy have given the classic scent a modern twist with this rose orientated scent. I adore this perfume, it's my favourite in the box, it's fresh, flirty, light and absolutely perfect for summer.
3. Eau de Lacoste Sensuelle (Eau de Parfum) - 30ml £32.50 - This fits it's name perfectly, it truly is sensual. It's quite dark, a lot darker than the original Eau de Lacoste. But it is absolutely perfect for wearing at night! I could keep smelling this for hours, it was hard to put down!
4. Thierry Mugler Alien Eau Extraordinaire (Eau de Toilette) - 60ml refillable £49.50 - This is so zingy! There is no other way to describe it. It is the perfect summer scent! It'll brighten up any day and is guaranteed to keep a spring in your step.
5. Ellie Saab L'Eau Couture (Eau de Toilette) - 30ml £29.99 - Of all the fragrances in the 6th Edition Discovery Club, this is the only one I wouldn't wear myself (well and the mens!). It's fresh and light, so would be lovely for spring and summer. For me I didn't smell enough depth, but if you prefer really light fragrances this is perfect for you.
6. Valentino Uomo (Eau de Toilette) - 50ml £44.99 - the first of the men's fragrances in the box, I adore this fragrance. It just smells of Italy, there's no other way to describe it. There's real depth to it with coffee and leather, and the bottle looks fabulous! The ad campaign for this is set in Rome, but for me it represent Milano perfectly! 
7. Loewe Solo Sport (Eau de Toilette) - 75ml £59.99 - the second men's fragrance, and the favourite of the man in the house! This is a classic men's scent, which would be great all year roudn, but perfect for summer as it has a refreshing zing in the top notes!

I love the 6th Edition of The Discovery Club from The Fragrance Shop, it is just the perfect way to try out new scents before you commit to spending a lot of money on them! And for just £25 a year, if you swap your perfumes regularly, it could save you quite a bit too! Plus you can cancel at any time!
