TPG Mystery Box #5

For those of you not familiar, TPG refers to The Perfume Guy on YouTube. He has a little store called Scent Club and puts out a few boxes every year. The Scent Club boxes are typically 3 fragrance samples of about 5-7mL each and represent some of the TPG's favorite fragrances. He gives a good write up and description of each, and they often come with discount codes if you decide to purchase a full bottle later. They cost $50 for the box, and have introduced me to some amazing scents I would never have considered on my own.

Then about twice a year, he releases a Mystery Box filled with 20 sample fragrance. Most were released in the last year or two, so all of the fragrances are newer, and the focus is typically on niche brands with very small followings. It's a great way to get a ton of samples. Mystery Box #5 was released last week for $65 and came with 30 fragrance samples in 1-3mL sample sizes.

@Renato Carotti

posted a bit about it earlier this week, and I asked him to not spoil it since my box was on the way. I really appreciate his patience, and you should check out his post as well.

My box came in yesterday, and I've been going through it all afternoon. So potential spoilers below if you bought this and haven't received it yet. TPG at the time of this writing has not yet released his video where he goes through everything, so if you'd rather wait, then stop here.

I'm really looking forward to going through all of these. So far I've given Vanilla Sambawa and Lamar Noir a couple of test sprays but no full wears. Lamar Noir is incredible and adds to the wish list from Kaijal whose Aican is one of my all time favorite gourmands. I have Proad Cherry Syrup Black, and it's an incredible cherry fragrance. I also have the 4 different tea scents from Proad - Red Tea, White Tea, Green Tea, and Black Tea - so I'm happy to see more from them included here.

See pics below. This was an incredible box. If you're not on his mailing list, I recommend getting on it, if for nothing other than reading his descriptions.

I'll be going through all of these and updating reviews on them as I go through them. If anyone else bought this kit, please let me know your thoughts as well.
