Best place for perfume samples?

lucy_lemon

I want to get a sample of some Balenciaga perfume, and was wondering if anyone knows where the best place is? I've spotted some on ebay, but it comes to about £4.30 for 2.4 mls, which seems a bit expensive. Or am I just being tight? Any tips appreciated

Most big department stores will have samples. Think Debenhams,House of Fraser and John Lewis. Be polite and ask if it would be possible to have one, tell the SA you need to wear a perfume for a few days before deciding. Most will give them, the ones on ebay are no doubt obtained this way and then sold on:mad:

If it is a niche fragrance they do tend to charge, Les Senteurs etc.

Yes I agree, go to department stores to try and get samples. They may not have the specific perfume you want to try. however if youre just looking for a new perfume in general it is a good way to test them out.

My skin is quite sensitive to perfume, so I always try to get a sample before commiting to buying it full price. I explain that to the person on the counter and usually they are helpful and give me a couple to try.
