Very many people are put off buying scent and perfumery products because of the difficulty of getting one that absolutely suits them without trying out a lot, one after another. There used to be a way of getting nice samples from the sometimes overly powdered and made up ladies in their ‘hides’ in the posh department stores that used to line the British High Street – if you were brave enough to approach one of these exotic beauties and show a knowledge and interest in your chosen selection of fragrances, you could be sure of being provided with sweet little sample sachets or bottles. These days, sadly, the best that can be achieved is generally a slip of white card with the merest hint of the scent you want to try – economies being what they are.
By far the best plan is to browse an online perfume sales site to get all the info you need from companies that deal only with perfumery associated items.
