Discovery Kits are collections of 2ml samples. Each 2ml spray bottle contains a sample of every scent, so that you can try the fragrances at home and on skin.
We offer Discovery Kits three ways:
By Fragrance - Already know what kind of fragrance you like? Vanilla, Woody, Green, etc? Then start by selecting the Scent Space Kit of the fragrance you prefer.
By Scent Space - Already know how strong you like your fragrance? Whether you prefer
fragrances that fill the room, stay close to you, or maybe fall somewhere in between? Then
By Collection – Want a different fragrance for your different plans, preferences, and vibes? Or just want to try all the Scent Space fragrances? Then start with our Exploration Kit: All 6 fragrances in all 3 Scent Spaces.
What size are the vials/samples in the discovery kits?
All of our Discovery Kits include 2ml sprays that will last you about 15-30 sprays each.
Do you sell individual samples?
Currently, we do not sell any individual samples. Samples are only available in pre-assorted Discovery Kits.
Are your fragrances for men or women?
Commodity fragrances are unisex! For you to decide what’s for you and what’s not for you. If you’re looking for scents that are considered to be more traditionally masculine or traditionally feminine, check out our blog posts. If you want a specific recommendation based on a fragrance or a note you know you like – contact us! We’re happy to provide you with some suggestions.
Why are there 3 versions of the same fragrance?
We want to give you control over how far your scent projects – over who experiences your scent – so we coined the term Scent Space. Three different versions of your favorite scent to go with every preference, mood and occasion:
The EXPRESSIVE version for when you want to share your signature with those nearby without overpowering any space.
The PERSONAL version for when you want your scent to only be noticed by you and the few you allow close to you.
The BOLD version for when you want to exude confidence and trailblaze with your scent.
If you aren’t sure which Scent Space is for you, try all 3 with our Exploration Kit.
Or, if you know exactly which type of fragrance you want, you can shop by Scent Space Kit.
What is "Scent Space"?
In addition to selecting a fragrance, you can now also select the fragrance’s Scent Space. Scent Space is our own classification of fragrance strength. It describes how far your scent projects around you in order to give you control over who else experiences your scent.
The three Scent Space classifications are: PERSONAL, EXPRESSIVE, AND BOLD.
The EXPRESSIVE Collection marks our starting point. We began with a collection of fragrances that many consider to be the perfect balance of longevity and strength. However, we quickly realized that fragrance strength – like most things – isn’t one size fits all. People wanted lighter or stronger versions of these Expressive scents to fit their preferences and plans. So we created the PERSONAL and BOLD Collections accordingly.
If you aren’t sure which Scent Space is for you, try all 3 with our Exploration Kit.
What is the "Archive" Collection?
Before Scent Space, there was the Archives. These are the original fragrances exactly as they were first formulated and are still awaiting a Scent Space – awaiting the creation of a softer, PERSONAL version and a stronger, BOLD version.
All 11 Archive fragrances are available in our Archive Collection Discovery Kit. You can also vote for your favorite to get made into the next Scent Space trilogy.
Why can't I find Orris, Tea, or Tonka?
Unfortunately, Orris, Tea, and Tonka were discontinued in 2021, but that’s not to say that they won’t make a surprise comeback! Subscribe to our newsletter to stay updated.
My fragrance smells differently?
This is a pretty normal phenomena! We can confirm that we have not changed any of our formulations. New fragrance bottles tend to smell different than older fragrance bottles and samples. This is usually due to oxidation. Fragrance oxidizes over time, meaning that the older and more frequently used the scent is, the greater the chance that oxygen gets into the bottle. This introduction of oxygen to your fragrance juice causes the alcohol in your fragrance to dissolve, the First (aka top) Notes to flee, the color to change, and even the scent to get stronger.
My fragrance doesn't last?
Many brands rely on chemicals called phthalates to make scents artificially last longer on your skin. We don't use phthalates because they can cause skin irritation and are also suspected of endocrine disruption. The safer, more natural option is to reapply your scent throughout the day. For all of the tips and tricks on making your fragrance last longer, check out our blog post.
Is Commodity Clean?
We’re looking to define our own “Clean” for a standard that ensures safe formulations. Formulations that are free of any known toxins and carcinogens. We are paraben-free, phthalate-free, and sulfate-free.

Sustainability is an umbrella term used to describe many different issues. It’s also a journey. We are working toward becoming more sustainable on all fronts.

Yes. We do not use any animal byproducts in our formulations.

Does Commodity contain Parabens, Phthalates, and/or Sulfates?
Commodity fragrances are paraben-free, phthalate-free, and sulfate-free. We remove any toxins as soon as they become known.
Are these EDPs, EDTs, or Parfums?
Did you know that Eau de Parfum, Eau de Toilette, Parfums, etc. are all defined at the discretion of individual brands? I.e. one brand can call an 18% concentration an Eau de Parfum while another can call 18% concentration a Parfum. All this to say, our fragrances are formulated at 15-25% concentration - take that as you will.
