Can't decide on which perfume is the essential essence of you? Try out Scentbird and enjoy a 30-day supply of any designer fragrance. This way you can test out the ones you've been meaning to try without buying the entire bottle (and ultimately throwing it out when it doesn't work). For $19.95/mo. members can select from more than 450 designer and niche fragrances (think Anna Sui, Bvlgari, Elizabeth & James, Dolce & Gabbana, Nest, and Prada). The best part? This service can be used for both men and women. After signing up, members will also receive a travel-friendly refillable case. Sounds better than being accosted by the perfume lady at your local department store, right?
