How the 5th Note Club works

A fragrance subscription that gets to know you. You set the budget, we find the scents.

  1. Join

    Sign up to the 5th Note Club and choose a monthly amount that suits you. No fixed plans: your budget decides which bottles we can pick from.

  2. Share your taste

    Tell us the notes and scent families you love, and the ones you can't stand. Those answers become your Fragrance DNA.

  3. Receive your scent

    Every month we hand-pick a fragrance matched to your DNA and your budget, and send it to your door in a signature 5th Note box.

  4. We learn as you wear

    Rate what we send. Every like and dislike sharpens your profile, so each month's pick gets closer to the scents you'll love.
