Discovery Sets

A discovery set is the sensible way into niche fragrance: a handful of small vials from a single house, so you can live with a scent for a week before committing to a full bottle. Sets from independent houses across the shelf, and you are welcome to try any of them at the West Hartford counter. Sets also make an easy gift, or a digital gift card lets them choose.
