With warmer weather arriving in the UK and the holiday season approaching, a new summer fragrance can be an excellent way to refresh a beauty routine. However, the market is saturated with options, and finding a signature scent can often be both costly and time-consuming.
Sentier Discovery Set Offers Great Value
Sentier is now offering perfume enthusiasts the chance to purchase a set of ten mini fragrances for just £25, meaning each 1.5ml tester bottle costs only £2.50. Moreover, when customers buy the set, they receive £25 in credit to put towards their first full-size 50ml or 100ml Sentier bottle. This effectively makes the set free for those who decide to purchase a full bottle of one of the scents.
The set, which is ideal for holidays or as a gift, includes some of the brand's most popular perfumes, such as Le Marais, the award-winning Parisian Embrace, Oud Gaiac, and more. Users have been impressed, with one stating: "Fabulous scents for different moods." Another appreciated the opportunity to try before committing: "Good way to find which one suits me. Ended up loving 'Path of Lemons' and now wear it every day."
Path of Lemons: A Summer Favourite
Sentier's Path of Lemons stands out for summer with its refreshing notes of bergamot, grapefruit, and tangerine. This zesty citrus scent, which normally costs £112 for a full bottle (currently on offer at £78), is combined with floral notes of lavender and iris. Reviewers who purchased larger bottles have left high praise, with one saying: "The Path of Lemons is such a lovely summer fragrance. Fresh and clean smelling, perfect for the warm and hot days. My favourite at this time of year."
Boasting only five-star ratings, many reviewers felt it evoked the coast. One commented: "Zesty citrus top notes of bergamot, grapefruit and tangerine make this perfect for summer—like a mini Amalfi escape." Another raved: "Delivers the Amalfi Coast atmosphere in a bottle - sun-warmed citrus that's not too sharp or fleeting." A third said: "Absolutely love Path of Lemon! Smells so citrusy and a perfect scent for summer. If you are into fresh citrusy scents then you'll love it so much! This scent is very addictive and long lasting."
Another reviewer noted the fragrance is unisex, while a further review reads: "Invokes summer afternoons walking through lemon groves—light and refreshing, yet with enough complexity to feel luxurious."
Other Fragrance Options
Elsewhere, LookFantastic offers the Jo Malone London Cool and Fresh Travel Cologne Duo, which includes two mini scents for £36. At Space NK, the Penhaligon's Scent Library retails for £35 and includes 8 x 2ml scents for fragrance fans to try.
Sentier's Other Popular Scents
Sentier's other scents have also received glowing reviews. The sought-after Parisian Embrace has been a hit, with one fan saying: "The initial burst of mandarin and pink pepper is invigorating. Great for a refreshing start to the day." Another wrote: "The brown sugar and vanilla base notes create a comforting scent that lingers beautifully throughout the day."
While there are no negative reviews for Path of Lemons or Parisian Embrace on the Sentier website, one reviewer did note a minor concern about longevity in the Discovery Set: "Good scents, but don't last long." Despite this, another praised the set as a gift: "Quick delivery and so beautifully wrapped. It's a present but I know it'll be well received! Might get one for myself to try some different fragrances."
