The fragrances come with a little velour bag if you want to protect the vials in your purse.
On to the fragrance:

Superbia by Memoize - Estimated Value $20 (Buy 100 mL for £177, or about $222.22)
This was a completely new fragrance for me, as well as a new perfumer. One thing I like about LUXSB is that I receive some perfumes from overseas that are not saturating the free samples and gifts with purchase in the US. Memoize is based in London, for example, and can be a little hard to find in the US.
Base notes include oud, leather, amber, musk, and patchouli, so we are definitely starting out right. (At least we are if you are me. Your mileage may vary depending on your own personal preferences.) Mid notes include cedar, sandalwood, and saffron. And top notes include rose, ylang-ylang, and orchid.
I do not find this to be overly floral, at least with my body chemistry. But the rose is there, just under the surface, especially early on. I was thinking this could definitely be a unisex fragrance and then I looked again and it is actually marketed that way. (Those usually end up being the ones I like the most.) The leather and oud distinguish this a little bit from a lot of other amber/musk/patchouli/sandalwood fragrances (almost all of which I like...) so I know I will be reaching for it frequently, once I am actually leaving the house again (I have been working at home since mid-March).
This was longer-lasting than a lot of other fragrances and probably wouldn't need to be reapplied halfway through the day. Sillage is decent, perhaps a little stronger than average.
Note: I'm not sure if this was the scent of the month for March or not. My March shipment got lost in transit so LUXSB sent a replacement.
Like with some of the other fragrance subscriptions, you’ll receive purse-sized holders for your fragrances. These are slightly larger than the ones from Scentbird or Scent Box. How often you get a new holder depends on your subscription plan.
Verdict: The estimated value of my fragrance this month is $20 at the current exchange rate. This is $5 or so over the month-to-month cost of the subscription. And of course I love the fragrance as well as having discovered a new perfumer, so I am happy with the selection as well. (Even though I didn't pick this one out, I totally would have after reading the description.)
To Wrap Up:
Can you still get this box if you sign up today? Yes, all you have to do is choose this fragrance.
Value Breakdown: This subscription is $15/monthly and this month, I received $20 worth of fragrance (but again, this is highly variable based on what scent you choose).
