Free perfume samples

Does anyone know where you can get free perfume samples, we are going abroad for a few days and only have hand luggage so was after a few samples to take with us :D

  • You could try your local boots perfume counter, they do sometimes have samples x I usually just ask Have you got any samples I can try and sometimes they say yes, worth a try for you perhaps?

    If you have an Avon rep you can ask her, they keep samples of most things (and really they're not all that bad). I google some of the bigger companies who often send out cards or vials of perfumes. They sometimes send further mo offers etc but you can just unsubscribe if you don't want them.

    Freebies from magazines - Marie Claire Sept issue (if you can still find it) has "Ghost" (with thanks to sampan26 for the OP) - although not strictly free, you still have to buy the mag :)

    Magazines sometimes have the little paper things with perfume in? I know it's not very helpful -now- but if you go away often make sure you save them :)
    New to this money saving lark. Any tips greatly received.
