That's interesting - where do you get these samples? Thanks
I use these guys http://www.scentsamples.uk.com/ but there are others offering the same thing. toasty said:
Maybe some do, but I prefer to buy 2ml samples to see if I like the scent and larger samples if I do.
For example, you could spend £200 on a Creed bottle and not like it or £3 in a 2ml sample or £22 on a 10ml sample.
OK you don't get a pretty bottle but you do get the option to try many different scents that would cost thousands if you were to buy full bottles each time.
Yep. I think most people find that, whilst it's nice to have the full bottle, quite often they get bored / don't like it after a while and end up selling it.For example, you could spend £200 on a Creed bottle and not like it or £3 in a 2ml sample or £22 on a 10ml sample.

Makes far more sense to buy samples if you want to have lots of fragrances, in my opinion.
Whilst yes, I've spent over £200 on one bottle before (Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille), and I've bought full bottles more than samples so far, I will be buying more samples in future (also known as 'decants').

Really surprised at the amount of blokes who still wear aftershave. IMO as bad a a woman with cheapo perfume.
Why would a man wearing good to high quality aftershave be at all similar to a woman wearing 'cheapo perfume'?Is there anything wrong with smelling nice?
Of course if you completely doused yourself in something nasty then yes, you wouldn't be popular to those you sit right next to at work, but no one here is advocating that kind of aftershave use.

Great to see Basenotes mentioned. I am a huge fragrance collector. As Humans are beyond lucky to be able to enjoy the sense of smell (bad smells exempt). There are fragrances that are just too common and should be avoided. Such as Le Male. Dear god Le Male is everywhere and people wear far far too much of it. Saying that, I love Kouros which is a love hate for many. Creed is good stuff. Dior private line.
Kuros....the 80s called and want their fragrance back....(I loved it as a teenager! along with other 80s classics like Jazz and Drakkar Noir, Xerius....ahh memories, Club Pasha, Rotherham. great days

I found the smell evaporated too quickly, which happens with spirit based stuff
Eau Savage is the same
Aramis is oil. based and lasts longer.
Balms are good, however I found Nivea creme in a flat blue tin at about £4 is
much more suitable after a close shave.
