Perfume testers as gift?

[PollyOrange]

I'm looking for a little set of quirky perfumes as a gift and before Christmas was peppered with ads for this sort of thing. Now sadly it's all adverts for ADHD ads (see an earlier thread of mine) and magic cleaning tools 😩
I'll check penhaligons but what could I be missing ? There was one I bought off here a while back but have lost it and can't remember. Not the baby powder oil that I also fell for. Now THAT was rank 🤣

Just about all companies have gift sets. Sephora has quite a few, and I had a look at the penhaligon site and they have a sample gift set. I like that theirs were 4ml size, not the tiny 2ml that some samples are. Estee Lauder also has a Small Wonders Set of 8 fragrances @ 4ml.

I think most women would like such a gift!

Dior do a set with small amounts of their various perfumes.

They are becoming more popular. They make great gifts for perfume lovers

Parfum de marly do great sets
Commodity do a few
Harmonist have a really nice one
Giardini de Toscana is very popular
Kayali is another popular one

I will come up with more when I sit and think about it

Look fantastic have a few discovery sets which cost £55 an include a £55 voucher for perfume.

Perfume Society has great boxes at different price points, I have gifted these a lot and they always go down well. These are samples from a mix of houses.

4160 Tuesdays do sample packs, either themed or pick your own.

Others I can think of:
Floral Street
Le Labo
Boy Smells
Commodity

Bloom have amazing themed sample packs from niche brands. Dries Van Noten, Eccentric Molecules, Le Labo and Rook Perfumes all have discovery sets.

I want to go and get some myself now!

I bought a saltworks tester set (£29 for 10 scents) for a friends birthday. It included a £25 voucher which I put towards to buy her travel bottles of her three favourites (£75 for 3 x 10ml).

She says the scents are lovely and long lasting - the packaging was really nice/luxurious too.

Ooh Miller Harris. And you get a voucher towards a full bottle as well.

I've had these before

You might need to Google for stockists

Now drooling at these and want them all
For myself!

Next do some of their own fragrances

Even Amouage has a discovery set. I bought one from Harrods.

I got one from Maison Francis Kurkdjian as a present. I also noticed Carthusia do an 18 fragrance sample kit.

I got a 10 sample set by Escentric Molecules and none of the bloody sprays work! Twenty odd quid down the drain

I didn't realise so many places did them. I only knew about penhaligons!

Phlur do a range of quirky, unisex fragrances that I bloody love - their discovery sets are available from Selfridges. I can definitely recommend Tangerine Boy and Missing Person!

I've had 2 of their perfumes in advent calendars, bloody awful, I gave them away

Can you decant them into similar bottles? Lots on certain websites at decent prices?

Or contact the brand?

I cannot get the tops off...ive tried and so has DH. Ive let the makers know but because I bought it from ebay they more or less said "tough"

I got the Jo Loves discovery set before Christmas.

7x 2ml sprays. Tried one or two sprays from 3 of them and wasn't impressed, they smell like aftershave but now stuck with them as can't sell on vinted or Ebay if used at all. Pretty annoying as I think they cost about £27!

Just seen this and thought about your thread. Cult beauty are releasing one of their Fragrance Box discovery boxes. No clue on release date (might not be for a few weeks) or price yet though but may be worth considering depending on how quickly you need the gift and how much it costs

I'd love the Maison margiela set. Last year I had a sample of by the fireplace , it was an ideal winter scent and for christmas I had beach walk .

4160 Tuesdays sell lovely sets, and you can even choose what's include. Brilliant indie company.

I got a set with thatand bought the full size fireplace. I really want jazz club as well. My dd took the autumn leaves as I wasn't a huge fan of it.

I also wanted to recommend Simons nest perfum oils. They don't do a set as such but you can buy the small sizes for around £5 each
