a low-cost low-commitment way to smell wonderful scents and discover new brands. i order them from brand websites or big online warehouses like luckyscents or twisted lily. i also keep samples in all my purses, my car, my makeup bag, my bf’s house, everywhere. they’re tiny and perfectly portable so you can always have them on hand in case of emergency. you’d also be surprised how long some of them can last, which is great if you don’t have like $200+ to drop on a full size fragrance. and if i don’t like one i just give it to a friend!

le labo, ds & durga, and plenty of the other indie perfumers sell samples of their perfumes for like $3 a sample! luckyscent.com also has decants of like any scent you could want. buy a sample pack and try different scents out till you find one or two you really like. then think about what aspect of the scent you like, and buy other perfumes samples with similar notes. once you find one you really love, buy a bottle!
you may find that some scents work best during the night but feel overwhelming for work, or maybe they smell great in the summer but are a little too floral and fresh for winter… half the fun of perfumes :)

I know this sounds redundant but slow your roll. If you’re like me and do a lot of traveling, you’ll want to keep a handful of sample sprays on you at all times. A quick, easy and low-cost way to feel refreshed after a long flight or between “meetings.”

Getting to try some sample size fragrances for a decent price before you delve into the full size bottle is really where it’s at. Many fragrance websites offer this option, but if you don’t see it on the site, you could try emailing and inquire about samples and whether you can buy any.
Sampling some unique and complex fragrances that end up lasting a while, you really get to switch it up.

like this one which was my grandmas meatball and sauce recipe (written down by my mom). i love that they have no measurements and no direction really but come with so much love and sentimentality and nostalgia (im a cancer)
