LookFantastic shoppers 'delighted' with perfume set that gets you 'free' bottle worth £55

The LookFantastic Festive Fragrance Discovery Set For Her features some iconic perfumes in travel-ready sizes, including Lancome, YSL and more

Perfume fans have been praising a 'fantastic value' LookFantastic box that allows shoppers to sample a variety of different scents before splurging on a full-size bottle for 'free'. The LookFantastic Festive Fragrance Discovery Set For Her features some iconic perfumes in travel-ready sizes, essentially serving as the fragrance equivalent of a selection box.

Inside, shoppers can find five handbag-friendly scents from top perfume houses like YSL, Armani and Lancôme, with a combined volume of 31.5ml worth of scent. The set costs £55, with the 7ml YSL fragrance being worth £14.40 alone, based on the price of a 50ml bottle.

It’s estimated that 30ml of fragrance can last anywhere between a couple of months to a year. This means the five fragrances can be mixed and matched over the festive period and New Year or be given as stocking fillers for loved ones this December.

Shoppers who buy the box will also receive a £55 voucher to redeem against their favourite full-sized scent from the collection at LookFantastic. And if you consider the cost of the selection box as payment, it essentially means the full-sized bottle is 'free' - providing it costs less than £55, Birmingham Live reports.

So far, the box has earned a perfect five-star rating from customers, with one happy buyer saying it was so impressive they purchased it twice, stating: "Such a good set I bought a second. Delighted with this."

Another added: "Great way to sample then buy a full size which is essentially free with the voucher. A no brainer."

“This is fantastic set,” penned a third. “Having 5 different scents means you get to try a new fragrance for a good few days to see which one you want. I think there’s a fragrance for everyone’s taste. Would make a great gift for yourself or family for Christmas. I would recommend. My favourite was Donna born in roma intense.”

A fourth wrote: “This set is fantastic value, the hardest part was deciding which scent to get in full size. The mini perfumes are large enough for a good few days so you can decide without fear of blind buying.”

However, as can sometimes be the case with pre-curated sets, not everyone will be a fan of every fragrance, so it could potentially be a bit of a gamble. Unless, you happen to have tried some of them before, and already know you like them.

My favourite in the set has to be the Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Over Red, which is a twist on the original Black Opium, with the exciting addition of red cherry. The result is a rich, sweet and cosy fragrance that feels perfect for winter.

Here’s what's inside the LookFantastic set:

• Lancôme La Vie Est Belle L 'Elixir Eau de Parfum 4ml
• Valentino Born in Roma Donna Intense Eau de Parfum 6ml
• Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Over Red Eau de Parfum 7.5ml
• Viktor and Rolf Flowerbomb Eau de Parfum 7ml
• Armani Si Eau de Parfum 7ml

Elsewhere, the Debenhams Fragrance for Her Edit costs £50, and also contains five popular mini perfumes and a £50 voucher. While it costs slightly less, it also has less fragrance, with the edit containing 23.7ml worth of scent.

Alternatively, there are mini edits from Maison Margiela which get you 12ml of fragrance for 36, while Phlur’s offering gets you 16ml for £39, both available at Space NK.

Or how about a fragrance focused advent calendar? Sentier is a high-end fragrance brand that offers both candles and perfumes, and this year's advent calendar delivers over £500 worth of products for only £99.

Alternatively, Jo Malone London has unveiled its highly anticipated 2024 advent calendar, which is £350. Or you can buy the LookFantastic Festive Fragrance Discovery Set For Her here for £55.
