About Twinkle Apothecary

Keep it fresh

Surprise and delight your nose with a different 5 ml fragrance shipped to you on the 15th (or next business day) of each month. 

This subscription features a different seasonally appropriate fragrance from the twinkle perfume archives every month, with a free perfume sample included in each shipment. 

The scent of the month could be an old friend, or something new-to-you. All of the fragrances in the perfume archives are fair game.

A hint for the next month's scent will be posted at noon on the 14th of every month. (Scroll down for this month's hint.) 

Scent preferences or allergies cannot be accommodated due to the surprise nature of this subscription. It's for adventurous noses and natural fragrance lovers only! As always, all sales are final. 

Scroll down for a hint about this month's scent and to see the past scents you've missed! 

Hint for December's Scent 

December's surprise scent is a light and sweet woodsy scent that's a uniquely refreshing take on traditional holiday fragrances. 5 ml spray bottle. 

How it works

Order anytime before noon (US Central) on the 14th to get on the list for this month's scent.

Signing up after noon on the 14th of this month puts you on the list for the next month's surprise shipment.

Please scroll down to learn more about how subscriptions work, under the "FAQs" section of this product page. (Just past the customer reviews section.) Thank you for subscribing responsibly!

Favorite surprise every month!

Stefanie does such a great job at crafting unique fragrances that will have you obsessed. I’ve loved every scent I’ve tried that she’s created! I would definitely give this subscription a chance!

Thank you so much! It's so fun picking out what to make every month. I'm glad you enjoy everything too!

Beautiful fragrance

I loved the special spiciness of this Island Spice scent. I ordered the monthly surprise and got something I might not have tried. It’s so fun to try new scents!

It is fun, isn't it?! I'm so glad you're enjoying it - thanks for the review!

Luscious

This is my first surprise scent, and I am loving it so far. I appreciate the convenience of the solid formula in a tube, and the romantic floral notes are perfect for these warming Spring days!

I'm so glad to know that you're loving it, thanks so much for sharing this!

Solid perfume in a tube: gamechanger

I treated myself to the April 2024 surprise scent, which is a solid Luscious perfume in a push-up tube, and I could not be more thrilled. The scent is a throwback to the early days of Twinkle, and wearing it is a comforting trip down memory lane. The scent is perfect for spring or for anytime you need to feel grounded and ready to grow. And a solid perfume in a tube? Yes please.

I always think that smelling these retired scents is like getting a hug from an old friend, and it makes me so happy to know that others feel the same way! You've also just answered my question about whether or not I should make solid perfumes available in tubes for every scent. Thank you so much!

Fun Monthly Gift to Yourself (or someone else!)

I am really enjoying a surprise scent every month - even the format is a surprise (solid, spray, rollerball)! I love that the scents are themed around the month and it forces me to try something that I would not normally gravitate towards. January’s scent was so herbal and refreshing, February’s scent was very romantic, but I wouldn’t usually go for herbal or romantic, so I’m happy to be pushed out of my patterns and try something new!

This makes me so happy to hear! I love that you're enjoying trying new things that you wouldn't typically go for. There's nothing to fear when stepping outside of your fragrance comfort zone - it can be so delightful! Thank you for this great review!

Subscriptions

Boxes: The Surprise Scent Monthly and Off the Menu subscriptions work the same way. To sign up, place your order by the 14th of each month by 12 pm US central time. The boxes (or envelopes) will ship on the 15th, or next business day if the 15th falls on a weekend or holiday.

Ordering after the 14th at noon puts you on the list for the next month's box.

Example: To sign up for a January Subscription box, you can order anytime between December 14th at 12:00 pm - January 14th at 11:59 am.

Ordering on January 14th at 12:00 pm or after will sign you up for the February box.

What's in the next box: The next month's Off the Menu item and a hint for the upcoming Surprise Scent will be revealed on the respective product pages after the 14th at noon each month. Be sure to check the product pages on the afternoon of the 14th to see what's in the next month's box, especially if you are not subscribed to my email list or push notifications!

You will always be charged for the next month's box each month on the same day (and exact time) that you placed your original order. If you would like to cancel or skip a month, you'll need to do so before your charge date. If you are not able to cancel before you're charged, simply email me to be refunded any time before I make the products on the afternoon of the 14th.

If you sign up for multiple subscription boxes (fun!) I will ship them all together to you on the 15th and refund any excess shipping fees.

For regular subscribe-and-save recurring product orders: your item will ship within 1-5 business days from the time you place your order.

Split-shipment policy: If you are ordering other, non-subscription items at the same time as your subscription box (Off the Menu, Surprise Scent, Collect Them All Club,) and you would like to receive your non-subscription items before the 15th, please place a separate order. I can only double-ship your order if the other items in your order qualify for free shipping on their own. If you've ordered enough to qualify for free shipping but want me to hold the other items to ship at the same time as your subscription products, great! Feel free to leave a note with your order and let me know!

All subscriptions are self-service.

How to cancel: You may cancel your order any time before your next charge date by logging into your account and clicking on the "My Subscriptions" button. If you are unable to cancel before you're charged, please email me to be refunded ASAP, before I make and ship your product. I cannot refund products that have already been made and/or shipped.

How to edit: To cancel, pause, switch items, add additional products, notes, or coupons to your subscription orders and to edit your subscription shipping address, simply log into your account and click on the "My Subscriptions" button. The process for editing your recurring order in the portal is so easy! If you are unable to access your account for any reason, please email me and I'm happy to help.

If you move: you are responsible for updating your shipping address before your next charge date. Orders shipped to the wrong address will not be refunded or replaced. I am happy to help you update your address, but you will need to email me before your order ships!

PLEASE NOTE: Updating your subscription order address is a SEPARATE ACTION from updating the default address on your Twinkle customer account. Update both to make sure you get your order. The subscription order address can be edited in the subscription portal (accessed by clicking on the "my subscriptions" button.)
