We really have enjoyed having this wine scent kit due to the large number of scents and solid construction of the box and bottles. In contrast to some of the reviews we have not had any problems with spillage or the smell of the box itself. Also, while a small number of scents are slightly "artificial", the majority of the scents do help to identify in the wines. We have noticed that a few of the scents are faint and are starting to diminish over two months but are still perceptible. Overall… we are very happy with our purchase.

Really had to think about the purchase of this training kit as it is not inexpensive. That said, it is well worth the investment if you are serious about taking your wine tasting to the next level and training yourself to know how to better describe what your smelling. Because part of tasting wine is impacted by smell, this is an important part of the experience.I must say that I was very pleased with the order delivery process. Not only was the kit well packaged but I received it via FedEx …within 2 days of the order placement. I knew that this company was serious making sure the kit arrived safely.

This was a gift for my wife who loves wine as much as I do. We are working to pass the WSET level 2 & 3 classes and have to say this kit is perfect. The entire kit is super high quality. Highly recommend!

The kit was just as advertised, and I was very impressed on how well it stood up to the very rough handling from the delivery people. The shipping box was pretty beat up but every single bottle and the case were pristine when I opened it. Regarding the aromas, I am impressed. I think they are well crafted replicas or representations of the sent noted and while some are olfactory giants (like the cork taint/TCA 🤢) they will be very useful in helping me understand even faint notes in the wine…s I am trying for my training and certifications.

I love this kit and the game that goes along with it. Being a wine nerd, it’s an amazing tool while reading and learning and trying to educate your nose and pallet. While it is very pricey, there was nothing comparable at a lessor cost that I could find. The aromas seem to be accurate, some aren’t as strong as others. When the kit first arrived the smell of the box itself was overwhelming before even opening any viles, I had to keep it open and let it air out for a few days. It’s still quite po…tent. I’m unsure if it is the viles or the materials from the box itself. The game is entertaining and simple, no confusing rules to learn. The wine wheel is very helpful and I really liked that it includes wine faults as well.

Wonderful present for somebody who enjoy wine and wine tasting. I gave it to someone very interesting to study for sommeliere.Because I live in South América, varieties and aromas have some differences, but it doesn't matter, because the kit it is intended to train the brain and aromas perceptions.Presentation is beautiful, worth to show and enjoy with friends.

I'm studying for my level 2 Certified Sommelier and while some of the aromas seem a bit off, it does get me in the ballpark. The aromas are diminished but I actually like that because they are isolated aromas and your nose tries harder to smell them like it would in the wine. I've already noticed an improvement. One thing, the vials can be a bit difficult to open at first and I damaged one, is it possible to get a replacement for that vial?

I'm finally somebody. I'm not just a wino anymore. When I say, "I'm getting granite and allspice with fig and plum", people hardly notice that I've defecated in my pants from intoxication. Poor people who can't spend $500 on Memory for Drunks must simply quaff their alcoholic beverages without the saving grace of this olfactory Phd. This road map to the Labyrinth of Winos will have have you shoulder to shoulder and buttock to buttock with the master sommeliers of the world's grandest grand cru…s. As you swish, sniff, spit, and swallow the heavenly ambrosia of this world's most noble beverage you will do it with a palate that is commensurate with Bacchus himself!
