Perfume samples - is this a thing?

[Babypythagorus]

I used to wear perfume, before I got old, and exhausted, and jaded, etc etc etc. My partner has just told me how much he liked it. There’s much I won’t do for this reason (eg shave!) but I reckon I can get on board with perfume again. But I have no idea what I’d like any more, and I live on an island in the middle of nowhere, so popping to the nearest John Lewis to sniff things in a shop would take many days and even more pounds.

I used to wear Calvin Klein and Jo Malone. What I’d really like is a tiny amount of each of their smells so I can test them. But I can’t for the life of me find a place on the internet that does this. It must exist!! Mustn’t it?!!!?

Help please, S&B wizards.

www.scentsamples.uk.com

Jo Loves is Jo Malone’s very own brand and I believe they do a kit where you get several different fragrances to try and the price also includes a full size bottle of the perfume you then select from the testers sent
Have a look at her website

Feel unique does pick n mix which sometimes includes perfume - you pay a few quid but then get a voucher code for the same value for the site m.feelunique.com/pick-n-mix/

Check out perfume parlour op
Fragrance oils at a fraction of the price means you can order loads and decide what notes you like

Ahhh thanks both!

That website has a couple of jo malone, amazing.

Could anyone suggest some new things to try? That aren’t too over powering or sickly?

Thanks!

What did perfumes exactly did you wear?

Ooh that perfume parlour website is amazing, thanks! That’s exactly what I wanted!

I wore in2u, contradiction and lime and basil. Have ordered a couple from there (contradiction is out of stock, but have tried some others).

Any other recommendations much appreciated!

You should try Dior addict and narciso rodriguez for her

www.notino.co.uk - they don't have samples of all the perfumes they sell, but a good proportion, and they do 1ml, 2ml and 5ml samples.

Also, ebay is your friend!

Jo Malone blackberry and bay is one of my favourites layered with English pear and freesia
I also love Dyptique eau duelle
Oh and Aerin amber musk!
