Exploration komplekts

Commodity Discovery Kit was a really interesting experience for me because there were definitely a few surprises!

Paper was my clear favorite. 🤍 It had that clean, soft, airy, skin-like quality that I’m always drawn to. Minimal but comforting, and easily the one I could see myself reaching for the most.

Juice just wasn’t for me. It didn’t really connect with my personal taste, and Gold was another one I didn’t care for. Since I’m not a big fan of overly sweet, gourmand, or vanilla-heavy fragrances, those just didn’t feel like me.

Ice was interesting because it genuinely seemed to create a cool feeling—which I thought was really unique. ❄️ Ultimately, though, Ice wasn’t for me either. It was definitely light and refreshing, but not something I personally connected with enough to wear.

Moss was probably the most interesting to me. It smelled very green, damp, and woody—almost like being in a forest after rain. 🌿 I didn’t hate it at all, and I can appreciate how different it was, but I’m not sure I would reach for it every day.

Overall, I’m really glad I tried the Discovery Kit. Paper was the standout and the one that felt most “me,” while the others helped me better understand what I’m drawn to—and what I’m not. That’s exactly what a discovery set is supposed to do!

I absolutely loved getting to explore so many different fragrances in one kit. It's a great way to discover which scents work best for you without committing to a full-size bottle. The variety is really nice, and I found some fragrances that I genuinely enjoyed and would consider purchasing in a large size.

I got this kit and happened to take it on a trip with extended family. We had a lot of fun spraying different fragrances on our wrists and inner elbows and randomly getting each other to rank order the 4 different scents we were wearing. It was also cool to observe how the scents landed and developed differently on different people.

I'm leading with that partly because I was surprised at how much the process of testing contributed to my enjoyment of the product. 100% recommend considering that if you get this kit.

Now, about the actual product:

I was surprised at how dramatically different most of the scents were across the personal-expressive-bold continuum—this is not just 6 scents with slight tweaks. There were only 1-2 where the personal and expressive versions seemed very adjacent (but still not identical). In addition, the kit came with samples of Ice(d) expressive, Velvet expressive, and Milk Orchid. So that's 21 fragrances. And the amount of each that you get is small but mighty—each sample was tested multiple times by different people and the only one we ran out of was the Gold expressive.

Although there were a couple that didn't sit well on my skin (as I'd expect of any sampler), I loved way too many of them for my budget 😅 The ones that are still on my mind are Book+, Gold, Milk+, Milk, and Milk Orchid. And maybe Paper. And I haven't even tried the archive editions!

I also really appreciated having the booklet and the paper strips included.

I have 2…

I have been searching for a new scent for a while now but I never feel like the ones in store fit me really. Moss and Book really stood out to me between all of them and I will be purchasing both in full size bottles. The scents last pretty much all day even though they are just tester bottles (usually they dilute the testers).
