SpaceNK shoppers are raving over a 'fantastic' way to trial a range of perfumes before committing to a full £99 bottle
Phlur regularly sells their perfumes for £99 a pop, which for many of us is an investment that's best not to go into blindly. The brand has built up a cult following, but SpaceNK shoppers have found a way to try a huge range of their perfumes for less than £5 a bottle.
The 2024 Discovery Kit is £39 and contains eight scents from the brand, while they are small bottles it's a great way to discover if the perfume blends well with personal skin chemistry and so far this week 52 sets have sold to happy shoppers.
Discovery sets are an increasingly popular way to sample perfumes, especially for those who want to see how often they'll actually reach for a scent before taking the plunge - after all it might be better to buy a smaller bottle if it's more of an evening only scent to tuck away in handbags.
Penhaligon's £50 Ladies Fragrance Collection and Maison Margiela's £65 Replica Discovery Eau de Toilette Set have proven popular but they don't have as large a variety as Phlur's offering on SpaceNK.
The Plhur set has pulled in a number of rave reviews, one shopper said: "This kit is fantastic, the samples may seem small but the scents are so potent - this is absolutely worth the cost if you are looking to find your next favourite!

Product Description
"There is a great diversity, from feminine to masculine, woody to spicy, there is going to be something for everyone in this scent. My favourite is 'Somebody Wood' which, at first, I didn't rate at all as I thought it was a bit too masculine, however, throughout the day I found myself loving the faded musk that this left.
"I also received so many compliments, which was genuinely pleasantly surprising when compared to my first impression. If you want to treat yourself but don't want to commit to one particular scent just yet, try this."
A second shopper said: "I love, and I mean love, a discovery kit. It gives you the chance to sample a whole bunch of scents before committing to a full bottle. The trouble is that when the brand comes out with several bangers. I've since bought full bottles of both Father Figure and Missing Person, and there are a couple more from the set. Well worth the purchase."
A third person did, however, highlight the amount of perfume for the price. They said: "Very small sample sizes for the price, but worth it if you don't live near somewhere that you could smell them in an actual store."
A fourth added: "I find it difficult judging fragrances by reading the notes when shopping online so I will always look to buy smaller versions first. This is the best of both worlds, small way to try a number of fragrances before you commit to a full size."
