Want to try a new perfume but don’t want to commit to a full size? It’s hard these days to get free perfume samples, and most mall stores don’t carry any scents except those from the big brands. If you are looking for a hard-to-find scent, one not carried in the mall stores but that you’ve read about in a magazine or on a blog, you want to visit luckyscent.com & theperfumedcourt.com. Both sites offer samples sizes of niche, haute & vintage perfumes.
Luckyscent specializes in cult scent brands, offering several perfume formats, body products and candles by brands like Le Labo, Santa Maria Novella, Eau D’Italie, By Killian, Heeley, Eccentric Molecules, Histoires de Parfums, Maison Francis Kurkdjian, and so many more. Luckyscent has a super easy ordering process. – you click on SAMPLES and then pick those you want, each is $4-$5. Here’s a fun offer from them – a bag of the top 12 2013 scents to sample, plus a couple of bonus brand new 2014 ones.
On theperfumedcourt, choose from different size flacons to be decanted for you from what they have in stock. The selection at The Perfumed Court is a little less predictable, as it a much less corporate environment. Like, I think it is a couple of girls who run this biz on their own, and they do a pretty good job at it.  Plus, they have much better sales than luckyscent, and monthly subscriber discounts. Here’s what their Facebook “about” says:
The Perfumed Court is your ultimate destination for Niche, Indie, Vintage, & Mainstream perfume samples and decants from around the world. Serge Lutens, Frederic Malle, Ormonde Jayne, Guerlain, Chanel, Tom Ford Private Blend, JAR, and more.
I’ve bought from both sites many times, always good.
