I‘ve ordered the VB discovery set as I like the look of a couple of the others and want to try them out before I decide if I want to buy one. My usual perfume is Le Labo The Noir, my husband bought me a bottle for my birthday last year and it’s nearly run out so trying to decide if I want to ask for another of those for my birthday or something new.

Think I’m going to treat myself to Mugler Alien with my Boots points. Does anyone know if you buy in store they’ll give a few perfume samples these days?
Side note I really hate how most shops don’t give those little samples anymore. I need to wear a scent a day or two to decide on it not sprayed onto a piece of paper. Used to be more common many years ago 🥲

I don't think I've ever been given a perfume sample in Boots! Department stores usually are a better bet although they seem to have quite random sample stock sometimes- I remember asking for a sample of a couple of Opium variants to try out when I was buying another one and the lovely lady was so apologetic not to have any that she gave me 25-30 YSL serum samples instead
(didn't do anything for my skin, sadly!)
I haven't taken the plunge yet, but I loved my samples of SYD and Suite 302 (the latter I thought was quite masculine?). I still have a sample each of Portofino and 21:50 to try, then I'll decide whether to pick one of them up.
Notino sell perfume sample boxes for cheap...not sure if they deliver to the UK but you can get in EU. I'm sure there are other sites that sell also x
They do deliver to the UK
You have to be quite clever about it but if you search perfumes online then go on Instagram, tiktok or Facebook, ads will come up offering perfume samples. Also helps if you look up perfumes on those social medias.
I get ads come up at least once a month and I've got samples of loads of new perfumes like Alien Hypersense and I Want Choo Parfum. I think I've got Burberry Goddess Intense on the way to me too. I got a sample of Viva La Juicy, which is old but I had never smelled.
Quoting myself but I ended up buying a bottle on offer from look fantastic, a sample inc P&p was £10 so I just took a chance and blind bought it! Anyway I absolutely love it, can’t stop sniffing my wristsThanks, I have heard good things about that one, not sure if it’s cheaper? Will have a google for price and buy a sample
thanks for the recommendationThe akro bake? Ooh interestingQuoting myself but I ended up buying a bottle on offer from look fantastic, a sample inc P&p was £10 so I just took a chance and blind bought it! Anyway I absolutely love it, can’t stop sniffing my wrists
Yes, it’s the nicest lemony vanillary gourmand I’ve smelt! Nicer than devotion, lira and unknown pleasures on my skin.The akro bake? Ooh interesting
I couldn’t find them. What do I search for?
Online is better for samples with boots. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten them in store. Department stores are usually the best place for a few samples even if you don’t buy they’re usually happy to let you have samples of things you like and might buy in the future
So I was in Kiko over the weekend browsing make up and saw they are now doing perfumes - and they all smell so good?!
If anyone has a kiko store near them I would highly recommend giving them a sniff, and not badly priced either. Can't comment on the longevity, but I'm going to buy this one for my birthday next month as it was just gorgeous

I thought this one smelled the best too. Not too fond of the price. They didn't smell like they'd last long but if they do then that's pretty affordable.
What’s a perfume perfect for the Christmas work party?
Atomic Rose - Initio Parfum
Scherzo - Miller Harris
Maison Crivelli - Hibiscus Mahajad
I had such strong feelings about scherzo that I’d have to leave a party with people wearing it! I had a tester and had to scrub it off. People seem to love it but it didn’t work for me.
It’s not a perfume that is quiet that’s for sure . It’s in your face i think.
I want to cry, I got a sample of Guerlain Rose Cherie and it’s heavenly, but of course it’s nearly £300 a bottle 
I feel the same, I have my eye on two which are around the £200 - £290 range.I want to cry, I got a sample of Guerlain Rose Cherie and it’s heavenly, but of course it’s nearly £300 a bottle
Fingers crossed they might go into the sale on Black Friday.
