Try the scent before you buy the bottle

Samples, miniatures and testers of the perfumes and skincare you've been curious about. Start small, wear it for a few days, then go full size when you're sure.

Sample, miniature or tester?

Same fragrances, three ways to buy them. Pick the format that fits how sure you are.

How to find a new favourite

  1. Pick three to five samples

    Choose scents from different families, like fresh, floral and woody, so you can compare them side by side.

  2. Wear each one for a full day

    Perfume changes over hours on your skin. Judge how it smells after lunch, not just the first spray.

  3. Go full size

    Found the one? Get a miniature for your bag, or a tester of the full bottle for less.

Questions about testers and samples

Are testers and samples genuine?

Yes. Testers, samples and miniatures are original products made by the brand. Only the packaging is different from the boxed retail version.

Why do some testers come without a cap or box?

Testers are made for perfume counters, so brands often ship them in a plain box, and some without a cap. The fragrance inside is the same as the retail bottle.

How many wears do I get from a sample?

A 1–2 ml vial usually gives you 10–20 sprays or dabs. That's enough to wear a scent several times and see how it develops on your skin.

Can I give a tester as a gift?

Testers are best for your own collection, because they usually come without the gift box. For gifts, choose a miniature or one of our gift sets.

Can I return testers and samples?
