Do you have a signature fragrance?
The amazing team at Commodity reached out to see if I wanted to take their fitting kits for a spin. They have taken the convenient try-at-home trend and applied it to choosing a fragrance. I love this idea; who doesn’t appreciate a test drive? Commodity didn’t have to ask me twice– I’m a bit of a fragrance junkie. Don’t believe me? Check out this shot from my IG. I’m always on the hunt for my newest favorite.
How Commodity works: you order a fitting kit for a reasonable $9, which includes 10 scents. (Boys, you can play too; there’s a kit for men!)
You get a full 30 days to test drive the scents. This was my favorite part– being able to really give each fragrance a shot.
Rather than trying to smell all 10 scents in a single setting like I would at a fragrance counter (and searching for a bare patch on my arm to spray yet another test spritz), I could wear one scent each day, go back and re-try scents I wasn’t sure about, etc., to find the scent that worked best for me.
What comes next? You choose your favorite fragrance and place an order via the Commodity website– less the $9 you originally paid for the fitting kit. Essentially, you get $9 off the price of either a trio of 10 mL scents ($48) or a hefty 100 mL bottle ($108) if you make a purchase in the first 30 days. Brilliant, no?
So what scent was my favorite? I’m typically very into fresh + green and/or fruity scents, so Moss, Ivy, and Mimosa were hits for me– but the real winner, and my number 1 choice? Paper. So, so gorgeous. Really unique; I don’t have anything like it.
Commodity describes Paper as the “best version of you,” which is quite cool. But it’s true– the scent is very subtle + a bit warm, and just smells good. A perfect anytime fragrance, especially during the day.
I’m excited to partner up with the cool kids at Commodity to offer you guys the full Commodity experience. The winner will get his/her very own fitting kit, a chance to try out all the scents in the kit, and then a trio of 10 mL fragrances. How about that?
Ready to find your new signature fragrance? Enter for a chance to win the Commodity experience!

*Commodity sent the fragrances for my review; thoughts and opinions are my own.
very cool idea, and “paper” sounds delicious…wait, what’s a word to describe a good smelling fragrance without making it sound like it’s edible? Mind. Stumped.
Thank you all for the interest, good luck to everyone who entered! Ashley – thank you so much for the post and we are so glad you enjoyed the experience!

What a neat idea! I typically am drawn towards fresh fragrances for daytime, but I love flowery scents like lilac and honeysuckle for night!
I never heard of this brand before. Thanks for introducing it to us. I am a fragrance junkie too, im drawn to flowery and fruity fragrance during summer.
Kisses,

Thanks so much, Nicole! 🙂
I need to track these down. I’ve never smelt them but I should!

I just adored that look

Thanks so much, Brett! 🙂
Interesting concept. But I can’t get over how the fragrance is called Paper. I keep imagining that it literally smells like a crisp sheet of paper.
Sincerely,
Sabrina
Right? I expected it to be more crisp, but there’s something warm about Paper (at least on me). I LOVE it though; totally different from anything else in my fragrance collection.
So cool! I totally have a weaknesses for fragrances, too. Hence my Birchbox addiction!
I hear you! A girl’s gotta smell nice, right? 🙂
NICE…

good luck to those who joined 🙂 nice giveaway! interesting name 🙂
I love this concept! At the store, I always get all my little sample papers messed up. Also, I don’t have the patience to truly intake and contemplate all the scent options. This seems like the perfect solution

Wow, I’ve heard about this type of shopping style for eye glasses and other commodities, but never fragrances. Genius! I also love fruity light scents, so the one you chose sounds perfect. Love this idea! It sounds like so much fun and very personalized : )

This is such a cool concept! I wanna smell them all!
I love to play with and discover new fragrances!
Very cool concept! I love the idea of test driving fragrances! Most scents trigger migraines with me, so I usually just do lighter body splashes, though there are a couple of perfumes over time that have actually worked for me. This would be perfect for someone like me! Thanks so much for sharing and linking up!
Love this idea for test driving fragrance. I have spent more money than I will ever tell my hubby for perfumes that I get home and just don’t like!
