If you are new to Ametrine, or buying for someone who is, the quickest way in is one of our three discovery sets, and which one to pick comes down to what you already know you like. If you are drawn to rich, whipped moisturisers, start with the Body Butter Discovery Box (£20, four scents). If you want a daily cleansing ritual more than a moisturiser, the Botanical Soap Discovery Box (£15, six mini bars) gives you the widest variety for the lowest price. If a proper soak is the whole point, the Foaming Bath Salt Discovery Box (£20, four pouches) is built for that. Below we compare what is actually inside each one, who they suit, and whether buying a set really does save you money over guessing with a full-size jar or bar.

All Three Discovery Sets Compared
| Set | Price | What's inside | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Body Butter Discovery Box | £20 | 4 x 30ml whipped body butters (Calming, Uplifting, Balancing, Grounding) | Dry or sensitised skin, and anyone who wants a richer everyday moisturiser |
| Botanical Soap Discovery Box | £15 | 6 handcrafted mini soap bars, different botanicals and scents | Widest variety for the lowest price, daily cleansing rituals |
| Foaming Bath Salt Discovery Box | £20 | 4 x 75g pouches, one full bath soak each | People who see a bath as the main event, not an add-on |
What's Actually in Each Ametrine Discovery Set?
The Body Butter Discovery Box holds all four of our signature whipped body butter blends in 30ml minis, each made with mango butter, calendula-infused oil, camellia oil, grapeseed and oat extract. The Botanical Soap Discovery Box is the broadest of the three, six handcrafted mini bars covering different botanicals, clays and essential oil blends across our soap range. The Foaming Bath Salt Discovery Box is the most generously sized per item, four full 75g pouches, so unlike the other two sets which give you a taste of each scent, this one gives you four complete baths.
Which Set Is Best if You've Never Tried Ametrine Before?
If you genuinely have no idea which scent or texture you'll prefer, the Botanical Soap Discovery Box is the lowest-risk way in at £15 for six bars, simply because soap is something almost everyone already uses daily, so there's no new habit to build. The Body Butter Discovery Box is a close second and the better pick if dry skin is your main concern, since body butter solves a different problem to soap (moisture retention rather than cleansing). We'd only point first-timers to the Foaming Bath Salt Discovery Box if baths are already a regular part of their routine, it's a wonderful set, but it assumes you already have the time and inclination for a soak.
All four aromatherapy blends in 30ml minis: Calming, Uplifting, Balancing and Grounding.
Which Set Makes Sense if You Already Know What You Love?
If you already know you're a body butter person, our body butter scent comparison goes deeper on choosing between Calming, Uplifting, Balancing and Grounding individually, though the discovery box is still the smart way to confirm a scent before buying a full 180ml jar. If you already know you want more soap in rotation, the Botanical Soap Discovery Box effectively replaces buying six full bars at once, a more adventurous way to stock your bathroom shelf. And if bath time is sacred to you, the Foaming Bath Salt Discovery Box is simply four full baths' worth of our most popular blends, no sampling required, just variety.
4 x 75g pouches, four full baths across our Calming, Uplifting, Balancing and Grounding blends.
Do Discovery Sets Actually Save You Money?
Not always, and we'd rather be upfront about that than pretend a sample set is automatically a bargain. The real saving is in avoiding a wasted purchase, UK shoppers are estimated to spend around £130 a year on cosmetics they never finish using, usually because the scent, texture or formula wasn't right for them. A £15 or £20 discovery set costs less than most full-size products anyway, and if it steers you toward the blend you'll actually repurchase, that's where the real value sits, not in the per-millilitre maths.
Can You Buy More Than One, or Should You Commit to Just One?
There's no rule against buying more than one, and if you're shopping for a gift for someone whose taste you don't know well, two smaller sets (say, soap and body butter) can cover more ground than one larger single-category gift. For yourself, we'd suggest starting with whichever category solves a problem you actually have right now, dry skin points to body butter, a plain daily wash points to soap, and a wind-down ritual points to bath salts, rather than buying all three at once. For more seasonal gifting ideas across the range, our vegan skincare gift sets guide covers a few larger options too.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many uses do I get from each discovery set?
The Body Butter Discovery Box gives roughly 1 to 2 weeks of daily use per 30ml mini. The Botanical Soap Discovery Box gives several weeks per mini bar depending on use. The Foaming Bath Salt Discovery Box gives exactly four full baths, one per pouch.
Are the discovery sets suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, all three are formulated with the same gentle, vegan, palm-oil-free standards as our full-size range, though we'd still suggest patch testing a new scent or botanical before full use, as with any product.
Can I buy a discovery set as a gift for someone else?
Yes, all three are genuinely gift-ready and a popular way to introduce someone to Ametrine without guessing their favourite scent.
Do discovery sets ship the same as full-size products?
Yes, they're treated exactly like any other order on our shelves.
Which discovery set is best for travel?
The Body Butter Discovery Box and Botanical Soap Discovery Box both travel well in hand luggage. The bath salt pouches are brilliant for a trip with a bathtub, less useful if you're only going to have a shower.
Not Sure Which One's for You?
The Body Butter Discovery Box is our best-selling way in, all four aromatherapy blends in one set, so you can find your favourite before committing to a full jar.
