Where can I get free aftershave testers or samples

GenghisKhan86

Ok I want to purchase some new aftershave but I can't decide what to get so I was just wondering if there are any companies out there that offer free testers or samples? I've contacted fragrance direct and the perfume shop but I'm still awaiting a reply.....

The companies that make the samples that go inside men's magazines might be worth trying.

You will not get free testers, they are given to the store for use by the public. I have friends who work on cosmetic counters and would be sacked for giving testers to customers. There is a paper trail for them and they must be destroyed when the bottle is empty. In the old days some online sites sold testers much cheaper than the usual perfumes, but they seemed to have disappeared now.

I doubt online retailers will send them out, you usually only get them with a purchase. Go to local department stores and simply ask, some might give usually the latest release. But since so many turn up for sale on ebay now they have cut down on giving them out free, usually again only with a purchase.

Comme des Garcons do some free samples. It is also worth looking on EBay, as there are some sellers on there who have trial size samples for sale. Depending on which fragrance it is you can often get a 2ml sample for under a fiver.

I think the only way to get them free is to go into Boots or Debenhams and spray some and see which ones you like. There are usually cards you can spray the aftershave or perfume onto and take it away with you, but I have also seen men spraying themselves with copious amounts of aftershave at the Boots counter :rotfl:

Get onto Ebay, you can by sample sachets, and part used bottles, which are unwanted gifts, or no longer liked fragrances.

Often there are tester bottles for sale, i.e. no fancy box or lid, bottle may say tester on it too, but who cares if its for personal use.

Try perfume oils, Base Notez, or Perfume Parlour offer 3ml sizes I believe, and are incredibly cheap and excellent quality.

Good luck.
