Inside The Sentier Set, shoppers will find a travel sized sample of the brand’s top-selling perfumes, including Parisian Embrace
Treating ourselves to a brand new perfume is often a serious investment that requires serious trial (if you’ve not already got a go-to scent) and saving up. Due to many decent quality fragrances costing north of £100, blind-buying a scent is quite risky, so it’s sensible for shoppers to get a deluxe size sample of what they’re looking for to test the fragrance after it’s been on our skin for hours – rather than a sample paper strip.
This is because our body chemistry – including our skin’s pH level, sebum (oil) production, and body temperature – can all affect how the perfume will smell. One way to do this without breaking the bank is to treat yourself to a discovery set and beloved brand Sentier has recently launched The Sentier Set for a budget-friendly £25.
With ten perfumes inside, including Parisian Embrace, winner of Gold Winner – Best Fragrance 2026 at the Universal Beauty Awards, this drops the amount paid for each fragrance to just £2.50. The £25 cost of the set then converts into store credit toward a full-size bottle, which must be redeemed within four weeks of purchase. Basically, it allows users to test-drive a signature scent before committing.
The brand explains how The Sentier Set is a ‘mini perfume gift set’ that ‘turns ten destination-inspired storytelling scents into a cinematic journey, made for gifting, trying, and choosing the story that stays with you’. A discovery set is also a great way to stock up on favourite fragrances from a certain brand for different occasions as well as travel.
If Sentier’s scents aren’t quite your bag, Phlur’s Discovery Set, £39 at SpaceNK, features eights of its best-selling perfumes that can be worn alone or layered. It includes: Golden Rule, Strawberry Letter, Rose Whip, Father Figure, Mood Ring, Soft Spot, Missing Person and Vanilla Skin.

With notes of Apple Flower, Gardenia, Jasmine and Patchouli, Sentier states how this ‘destination-inspired perfume sets a romantic date night mood, made for city walks, quiet dinners and evenings by the river’.
Alongside these floral notes, fragrance fans will also notice nectarine, peach and pear, while subtle hints of bitter almond and liquorice ‘give the perfume its unique heart’. Topping it off – and adding a youthfulness to the scent – vanilla and brown sugar create the base for this sophisticated perfume.
It’s adored for transporting shoppers to the City of Love, with one person noting: “It took me to Paris from the first spritz. Incredible perfume, the best I have used so far.” Someone else raved: “This scent is absolutely gorgeous, it’s the perfect tone of fresh and sweetness balanced with the warmth of vanilla. Perfect for summer days and evenings as the scent lasts throughout the day, and I always get so many compliments!”
Shoppers who have got their hands on this discovery set have been thoroughly pleased with the range of options inside, with the set accruing a near-perfect 4.9-star rating from 60 reviews. One delighted customer raved how they found a perfume they wear every day, stating: “Good way to find which one suits me. Ended up loving “Path of Lemons” and now wear it every day.”
Someone else added: “I loved testing all the scents before choosing my favourite. “Balade in Autumn” really stood out. Will be buying the full size soon!”
Another echoed the joy and said: “Finally found my signature scent! I tried each one for a full day before deciding. The quality is incredible, and the scent lasts all day. Already ordered my full bottle!”
Due to the quality of the perfumes inside, there are very few negative comments, with the only one being the price of the 10ml travel-size bottles. Leaving a three-star review, the shopper noted: “Really lovely and long-lasting smells; however, this goes for all scents, but they are ridiculously expensive. £32 for only 10ml.”
Although most people couldn’t fault the set, as one noted in one glowing review, which read: “Absolutely love this gift/trial set, I’m liking all of them and struggling to decide which one to buy full size! Think I’m going to stick to getting this again so I can change to suit. It’s a great set! Highly recommend.”
