Subscription Scammers
I was led to bare&bond through Timeout's email newsletter offering me a "free" monthly box of perfume from a new fragrance company. Firstly, it was not free- P&P was £3 odd but I thought for a whole box of perfumes it was still a good deal. After waiting a while for the order to arrive, I was pleased to see it this morning. Opening it, I found amongst much lavish gold tissue paper and smart notecards informing me of the scent (though these were eloquently written and informative) one - ONE - very small, 8.5ml bottle of perfume. This is not a "box of perfume" as advertised. Timeout displayed a picture of a far larger, different box with three perfumes beside it (to be presumed as contents), instead I feel I have paid £3 for a perfume tester. Even worse, the monthly subscription is £14.95 and incredibly hard to cancel- am I to assume people are paying this much for this little product? Very disappointed- will not make the same mistake again!

Hi Freya,
I'm sorry you were so disappointed with the service. "Subscription Scammers" - maybe a little harsh.
We do try hard to create a delightful experience of trying new perfume you wouldn't find on the high street. Admittedly, we don't always get it right and for that, we're very sorry.
I think we're probably a bad fit for each other. Our service is for people wanting to try high-quality artisan perfume, instead of high quantities of cheap perfume. We do this by working directly with tiny artisan perfume makers, who create wonderful perfumes that you'd never find on the high street, rather than large scale factories producing perfume you can find discounted anywhere.
We think our website is very clear about the size of the perfume in the subscription, as is the Timeout advert. Sorry you were confused. We'd love to know what confused you so we can fix it. Your order arrived within our promised time of 10 days, it's often much quicker but with lockdown 2.0, everything is a little slower. We're also sorry you had trouble cancelling your subscription. We have tried to make it as easy as possible. Had you reached out to us, we would have cancelled it straightaway it for you.
Again, very sorry our service wasn't what you were expecting. Please do reach out if and we'll see if we can make you a little happier then you are now. Our email address is hello@bareandbond.com.
Very best,
Frankee
Founder & CEO at Bare & Bond

Fantastic personal service, v popular
Fantastic personal service and a very popular gift! It would be great to automate the gifting process further (eg be able to leave a gift message and have it emailed to the recipient on a set date)

Excellent way of discovering fragrance
Working with small artisanal and independent fragrance brands, Bare & Bond is an excellent way to discover fragrances made with lots of love and inspiration. A little surprise every month to add a scented smile to your face!

Absolutely delightful
Absolutely delightful! So glad I stumbled on this gem of a website! Perfect communication and five star service. The perfume I received in my first box is simply stunning. Looking forward to a long subscription. Would highly recommend... :0)

Very nearly excellent
The only reason I gave this four stars was because I had given it as a gift but unfortunately there was nothing in the package to say that it was a three-month gift subscription. It would also have been nice to be able to include a personal message. Other than this, the packaging was lovely and I love that the bottle is larger than other subscription services. The scent was great too and awesome to be supporting independent parfumiers.

Great feedback Shelley. Thanks so much! Super helpful.
We actually just ordered gift notes to pop into the gift subscriptions to tell them how long their subscription runs for. I'm sure we can come up with a way to get gift notes into the boxes too..

Oh no. We're so sorry you've found difficult. We just went to cancel it for you and discovered you managed to cancel it yourself after all.
Would be great to know what you found difficult about it just so we can make it easier for other people. It's always hard to see it blind spots.

Wonderful idea
Wonderful idea! I love perfume but hate mass production and the prices of designer perfumes. I received my first bottle within two days of ordering in recycled packaging. The scent is unique and lasts the full day. Can't wait to smell my next treat!

Good Service
I did not like the earlier perfume & the company promptly offered to refund or change to another perfume. I opted for a change & returned the previous one.
I have raised their rating from one star to four star for the prompt service they provided.
