Valentine's Day is around the corner! Little reminders of love are all around us, from aisles of presents fully decked out in hearts galore in scarlet and pink to those small mementos and thoughtful gestures that mean so much. It's nearly impossible to select just the right items that say exactly what you need to on such an important day as this day of love. Why not send something that feels right every single day? Something that offers more than temporary excitement. A gift that will last much longer than chocolates or flowers? Although LUXSB would pair well in a nicely packaged bundle! Send a LUXSB fragrance subscription and let us make Valentine's Day just as special, magical, and memorable as your gift recipient is. Gift now here.

Why is LUXSB fragrance subscription the best way to gift perfume this V-Day? 

It's simple. Fragrance gifting is sometimes complicated, and daunting if you don't happen to know exactly what they like.  If you've walked into a boutique or near a perfume counter lately, the choices are probably bewildering. Especially when it comes to choosing another individual's perfect scent. Scents are so subjective after all. Then the testing begins, with row after row of bottles or a sales associate spraying a test card. Maybe no scent feels like the right one. But the pressure is on you to make a choice, so you do. This is intense because the stakes are high on V-Day to deliver a perfect gift experience. 

Buying a perfume or cologne on the spot is often equivalent to blind buying a fragrance, where descriptions are sometimes much different than the experience of the notes. Some scents are ordered online, without any interaction with the scent which may also be a mistake without a tester or sample. Maybe the body chemistry of your loved one just doesn't mix with the gift at all. Any of these outcomes lead to disappointment and the hassle of returns. Or the potential that you can't send it back for something else. 

LUXSB Makes Fragrance Gifting Easy and Convenient

We realize that the long lines during the holidays are time-consuming. Valentine's Day is one of the most high-demand holidays of the year. LUXSB is a fragrance subscription service that brings that gift to your loved one in time to enjoy before dinner and champagne. Or in time to wear to dinner. LUXSB gets it. We want your day to be as amazing as you do and know that time is of the essence during busy holidays like Valentine's. Your gift of LUXSB is super easy to order and arrives without hours of scouring boutiques and specialty stores. 

LUXSB is Guess-Free Gifting At Your Service

We are here to help make this Valentine's super easy and smooth, with no guessing required. Just sign up for a gift subscription and let us do everything else. LUXSB helps out with a fragrance survey that your gift recipient can take to narrow down their choice for that month's scent selection. The only thing you will need to do is to make the choice of the amount you would like to gift. It is really that simple to bring a niche or designer scent to your loved one this Valentine's Day and any other special occasion that your heart desires! 

LUXSB is Individualized And Personal 

Individual service is at a premium these days, especially for holiday gifting. When stores are really busy, the amount of attention in the perfume section is often less than personal. LUXSB is serious about making gifting fun and personal. Gifting is one of our favorite things, too! With as many scents are we offer here at LUXSB, a great match is available for the most selective customer. When a gift is personal and heartfelt, it is treasured and truly appreciated by the recipient. When your loved one chooses their favorite scent, it becomes even more personalized.  

LUXSB Sends Generously Sized Travel Sizes 

How large is the vial will my loved one receive in their gift? LUXSB is generous in our travel sizes, offering one of the largest sizes in a fragrance subscription service. We deliver value in a full .30 oz/ 9ml spray. This is equivalent to 150 sprays per vial! One vial can last a month or longer, which for many of our niche selections is a superb savings in comparison to regular retail pricing. This is sampling without sacrificing the ultimate enjoyment of scent. They can take another spritz or reapplication from our chic two-toned atomizer. 

Did We Mention Our Gorgeous Protective Case? 

A large luxurious vial of perfume is not the only glamorous part of the gift they will get. Our stunning protective case

 are simply eye-catching and protect your bottle from damage or spills. Your gift recipient can take this atomizer anywhere, from handbag to gym bag and travel bag or carry-ons. Our atomizers have been seen on social logging travel and airline miles of our incredible customers.

When you want the very best in ultra-luxurious fragrance, look no further than the house of Parfums de Marly. You have probably seen the line in the most exclusive department stores or heard about it from its legions of obsessed fans. Maybe you stumbled upon it while traveling to international destinations such as France, where the brand is made. The brand boasts precious high-quality ingredients while keeping true to French perfumery traditions. Parfums de Marly (PDM)  is not afraid to go outside the lines in defining its "art de vivre" of Chateau de Marly, a place of grandiose pleasures and inspiration of the 18th century made for the modern man or woman. A few defining scents from the house are Layton, Herod, Oriana, and Delina. 

Parfums de Marly Layton

Layton is in simple terms, a ravishing masterpiece in fragrance with a complex scent profile that just works. This masculine-leaning EDP incorporates top notes of apple, lavender, bergamot, and mandarin orange for a crisp opening. The heart consists of florals: geranium, violet, and jasmine with impressive longevity. The base notes of vanilla, cardamom, sandalwood, pepper, patchouli, and guaiac wood leave an impression and delightful sillage trail. Its substantial blue bottle features a duo of horses flanking a crest which Parfums de Marly is known for. Layton should rank high on the list of must-try scents. It is appropriate for any season. 

Parfums de Marly Herod

For something a bit deeper and richer but equally addictive, Herod is another highly recommended men's fragrance, perfect for fall and winter use. Herod is characterized by a diverse composition, with a punch of charred vanilla. This EDP features on-top notes of cinnamon and pepper. The heart is comprised of tobacco leaf, incense, ciste, and osmanthus. Notes of vanilla pod, musk, woody accord, and patchouli are the finishing touch for this luxurious expression. 

Parfums de Marly Oriana

For women, Parfums de Marly's gourmand fruity floral selection Oriana is guaranteed to inspire an eternally youthful spark with its subtle playful accords. Oriana is pretty without compromising attention to detail and layers of texture. Top notes of mandarin, bergamot, and grapefruit are a blast of fresh and citrus. Heart notes of orange blossom, blackcurrant, raspberry are the essence of Oriana. Base notes of marshmallow and chantilly cream are the sweetness and fluff of dreams. Ambrette and musk ground and add sensuality to the composition. 

Parfums de Marly Delina

Parfums de Marly's Delina has several sides and unique incarnations.  Delina is as elegant a floral as you can find.  This composition balances both the softness of a floral and the bubbly effervescence of frolicking through the lushest gardens of France. Top notes of rhubarb, lychee, bergamot essence Turkish rose, peony, and vanilla notes are the heart of the scent and maintain a presence throughout. Base notes of cashmeran, musk, and vetiver blend well and allow lighter notes to shine above. 

Discover your Parfums de Marly fragrance with a monthly supply at LUXSB fragrance subscription, The Official Luxury Scent Box. 

It's the holiday season already and this year in particular, more and more of us are ready to hit the roads and skies and ditch the hum drum pandemic lifestyle. If you have already booked your flight or vacation adventure, you're certainly not alone. Packing your bags is sometimes a stressful process, making sure not to leave anything really important behind. Plus, family and friends await your arrival. And if you are a perfume or cologne wearer, it is absolutely important to not forget the fragrances. 

The main question is, how to pack fragrance for a safe journey? Small mistakes leave quite a mess, plus disappointment. Replacing an entire full size on the flight is certainly not what you signed up for.  And a favorite fragrance could be a niche or hard to find.  This is not easy fix, especially with limited time and opportunities to go shopping. And holidays are known for potential shipping delays, replacing something like a special scent is just not feasible in many cases. 

Some confusion may also occur over how large can my fragrance be in order to be TSA-ready for flight security procedures. No one would want to have their precious fragrances confiscated because of a misunderstanding. But it happens often, leaving the traveller without perfume. 

How To Make Travel With Fragrances Easier

First, make sure that the larger size bottle lid is closed securely and airtight. Check for any leaks or cracks. Then place the bottle in bubble wrapping (shipping and packaging material) or between thick, fluffy towels. Better yet, if you happen to have the original box or a suitable replacement, use that instead. The box adds that extra layer of protection during transit. Place the bottle or box in a plastic bag. During your trip, check on the bottle periodically until you've reached your destination. Try not to place the bottle in direct contact with anything made of hard plastic or heavy objects that can slide into or fall onto your container. It would be best to keep your bottle with lighter items such as garments. Give your scent less of a chance to move about by using a separate section in your luggage designated for the bottle or box. 

Take A Smaller Amount of Fragrance Along 

Due to TSA requirements of no more than 3.4 ounces of fragrance, or a large full size, it is a good idea to take smaller amounts of scent along on a trip. It lessens the chance that your bottle with less volume of scent left is taken by security. It is not a good thing to have too much space inside your container. For this reason, consider using a portable atomizer or travel sizes of scents. If your trip is extended, the opportunity to have access to different choices of fragrance is there. And the smaller atomizer lessens any risk of spills or bottle breaks during your flight. Those bags sometimes take lots of wear and tear in cargo. And even a carry-on may see extra shuffling around or light tossing from the upper cargo hold compartment to your intended destination. Not to mention connecting flights and racing to get from place to place. 

LUXSB Is The Perfect Solution For Safe Travel With Fragrance

So you don't have any travel sizes and you're planning for that holiday flight or travel after the hustle and bustle of the season is over. Don't worry, we got you! LUXSB is known for our travel sizes and portability factor. You will receive a monthly fragrance supply of your choice in a luxurious LUXSB protective case.  Just a twist of the wrist and you have a fragrance at your fingertips.

It is durable, chic, and filled with your selection of juice. We carry a vast selection of designer and niche houses and are always adding to our fragrance catalog. 

Keep your large spray bottle at home this holiday season and pack light. Maybe not too light, but as in taking your scent on the go. LUXSB travel atomizers are TSA friendly and can be placed on your carry-on bag. Take several on your trip, three LUXSB atomizers are less than 1 ounce of liquid and well within the TSA rules. And if you are on a road trip, the travel sizes are less bulky and one less thing to leave behind.  If you happen to lose one, it is economical, too. 

Fall has made its debut. Everything about the holiday season speaks brightness, sparkle, optimism, and cheer. Including the scents that leave an impact on our moods and our lives. Fragrance is just that powerful in the way it transcends limitations and tells a story all its own. It also adds a touch of excitement or comfort whenever you need that extra boost or lift. During the spring and summer months, the royal standard of all floral notes is the rose. From ancient times to royal aristocracy, the rose has held court as "Queen of the Flowers".  As beautiful as enchanting, rose scents are everywhere this year. Some names are legendary and unforgettable while others are niche houses with a more edgy approach. The beauty of rose is that it truly never goes out of style and can be worn all-year-round. Perfumers have played with various forms of this note for centuries. Plus, the varieties of roses will leave you spellbound, from Turkish rose to rose centifolia. The more exotic the rose, the highest quality of rose absolute.  A stately rose perfume transcends age, generations, and trends. Here are a few suggestions to add to your fragrance wardrobe. 

Parfums de Marly Delina Exclusif is composed with Turkish rose that portrays sensuality, freshness and luxury. The floral oriental creation opens with fruits of pear, lychee and grapefruit. A heart with a bouquesr or Damascena rose paired with incense and vetiver. A base with a tempting vanilla and musk. A luminous scent with the finest ingredients.

Dolce Rose by Dolce & Gabbana is from the Dolce series of perfumes. The beautiful red frosted bottle features an ever so-cute and vanity worthy rose shaped cap. This floral musk features notes of rose absolute, rose centifolia and sweet red currants. The fragrance celebrates iconic florals symbolizing love, beauty and feminity. 

Roses de Chloe is an ode to a walk down the Parisian rose gardens. Green, crisp, and fresh, this rose is anything but old fashioned. It has everything you would look for in a modern rose scent. The overall effect is lightly soapy, not too sweet, tamed by the presence of green and woodsy notes. This lovely blend features notes of damask rose, litchi, berganot, tarragon, lemon, magnolia, cedar, apple, black currant, peach, white musk, amber, and woods. Chloe' is a designer house that speaks quality and high standards in fragrance as well as fashion.  

Dawn Rown by Faîr Parfum is an ethical and cruelty free fragrance option. A brand that is one of the last remaining completely hand-crafted perfumeries in the world. Made in Grasse, France. Sensual with top notes of pomelo, a radiant rose unleashing feminity and heart with clode and vetiver. The base has notes of patchouli and suede inspiring you to do whatever it takes to make your hopes and dreams your reality.

Nonchalant by ILK is a rich with a passionate French rose laced with tart red berries, playful violets and succulent orange flesh. Completed by a heady fusion of brandy, chypre, spice and balsamic. A tinkling, easy, bold laugh of a scent that leaves you spellbound. ILK is brave, expressive, personal perfume experience. Contradictions in ILK is a collection of gender-free, cruelty-free, and planet-friendly scents - inspired by human nature and intended to celebrate its many nuances. Their layerable pairs allow you to celebrate the contradictions within your character by adapting your scent to compliment your mood, environment, and whim. They believe that perfume allows for the ultimate means of self-expression, using your skin as the canvas you can be the artist of your own scent story.

Can you believe that Autumn is already here? It's that time of the year for pumpkin spice everything and gorgeous fall/winter fragrance arrivals. Fall scents are known for being as invigorating and cozy. It is a new sensation, one that is an annual tradition, yet is always fresh and inviting. Scents are a great way to bring this soothing feeling wherever you go. Almost everybody wants to know how to update their fragrance wardrobe for fall-ready comforting energy. The rules for Fall/Winter have changed, not so hard fast and adapt to your personal flair. A few tips for making your choices for Fall scents super easy and less time-consuming. 

1. Don't Toss Out Your Clean, Fresh Citrus Scents

Fall fragrance is not completely defined by deep, dark, or richer components. Sometimes it is okay to let the lighter, clean or citrusy scents have their days in the crisp Autumn breeze. The aromatic fragrances will impart a clean aesthetic that reminds us of brighter summer days and often better weather as the temperatures begin to decent and the sun begins to set earlier. The sometimes heady top notes will fade away after application, leaving behind their trademark freshness and clean smell. These herbal, soapy, uplifting notes are always appropriate and never out of season. 

2. Go For the Spicier Side of Life 

Like our addictions to pumpkin spice or cinnamon notes for latte consumption, spices are all the rage for Fall/Autumn. Spices, warm woods, gourmands, and baking spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove are go-to for Fall/Winter scents. A few reasons spices are the right choice include a natural warmth, longevity, and sillage. These deeper and heavier notes add heft and staying power to the scent, as either heart or base notes. Those notes at the bottom of the pyramid tend to linger more, waft, and cut through cooler weather.  Spicier scents are often in the oriental category but could also be found in woody scents, chypres, and fougeres. Often considered to be sensual, glamourous, heavier, or for evening use, they pack a potent punch to those overcast crisp fall nights and perhaps daytime wear. 

3. Like a Good Recipe, Don't Forget the Vanilla 

Just like your grandma's delicious baked goods recipes, don't forget to add a splash (or more) vanilla to your fragrance wardrobe. According to surveys, vanilla is one of the most loved scents in the world, and for great reason. Vanilla is a featured gourmand note in many favorite niche and designer scents. It is part of the oriental or floriental family, but could show up as a wild card note in compositions to add warmth. The richness and elegance of this spice are as old as perfumery itself.  It is equally as lovely on both men and women. Vanilla has many sides and dimensions, from rich and boozy to gentle and cozy, so don't be afraid to try this note. You will be pleasantly surprised by its versatility and mood-enhancing power. 

4. Opulent and Grandious Ouds 

Ouds will add a touch of Old World elegance with a modern aesthetic for a fall/winter selection. Ouds have been used since ancient times to perfume the well-to-do in society who could afford this expensive resin. Now it is accessible to many as niche and designer brands alike turn to oud to elevate blends. it is considered a luxurious, high-quality addition to orientals and woody scents. Oud is often the main base note in niche lines with many choices available. Oud often appears in compositions with florals, which are considered florientals. This means that oud is user-friendly to women as well as men, and will be a wonderful addition to your wardrobe this autumn.

5. Buy A Travel Size From LUXSB 

Sometimes it is so tempting to go with a website's fragrance description and buy a full-size bottle of fragrance sight unseen. This would probably not be the ideal way to explore fragrance, because words (like looks) could be particularly deceptive. Buying your next Fall/Winter fragrance from LUXSB's fragrance subscription service is the best way to get a scent into your hands and try it out without any buyer's remorse. Our 9ml size is generous as LUXSB is one of the largest sizes available in a perfume subscription. More than ample to test notes and families that may have been on your radar.  What if a niche line that just debuted a new addition sounds incredible? Playing and experimenting is much easier when the purchase is a fraction of the price of a 1.7oz or 3.4oz bottle.  Sampling and the ease of travel and portability are here at your fingers with our extensive list of fragrances that only get better over time and bottles that take the scent from your home to airports, hotels, and AirBNBs.
