Experience before committing

Try any fragrance at home.
 Pay nothing if you don't love it.

Pick any fragrance in the collection and we post you a real 1 mL travel vial of it. Spray it once or twice, decide how you feel about it, and either keep it for $10.00 or send it back on a prepaid label and get your deposit refunded in full. Either way you only ever pay the shipping.

Experience before committing, in three steps

The whole point is that you find out before you spend. Here is the entire offer, end to end.

Request the one you want to know about

Choose any fragrance from the collection below. You pay $13.99 today — a $10.00 refundable deposit plus $3.99 shipping. The deposit is your money; it is only held so the vial comes back if you decide against it.

It arrives, and you wear it properly

We post you a real 1 mL travel vial, filled from our own bottle and fitted with a proper atomiser, so a single spray gives you plenty of scent. Wear it on your pulse points the way you would wear the real thing.

Decide: keep it, or send it back

You have 14 days from the day it is posted. Keep it and the $10.00 deposit becomes the price. Send it back on the prepaid label we email you and we refund the deposit in full.

Return postageFree
You pay today$13.99

  • We mail you the real fragranceYou get a 1 mL travel vial of this exact fragrance, filled from our own bottle and posted to your address. It is a full atomiser, so it sprays properly and a single spray gives you plenty of scent.
  • You pay $3.99 shipping and a $10.00 refundable depositThe $13.99 you pay today is the $10.00 deposit plus $3.99 shipping. The deposit is your money. It is not a charge for the sample: it is only there so the vial comes back if you decide you do not want it.
  • Try it. A spray or two is exactly what it is forThis is a trial, not a bottle to use. Please use a spray or two at most, and return it with most of the fragrance still in it. We want you to know what it smells like, not to empty it.
  • Keep it for $10.00, or send it back for freeIf you love it, keep the vial and the deposit becomes the price. If it is not for you, put it in the post with the prepaid label we send you and we refund the $10.00 in full. Sending it back costs you nothing.
  • You have 14 days to decideThe clock starts the day your sample is posted. We will email you a link to choose, and we will remind you before the deadline. If we do not hear from you, the deposit simply becomes the price and the vial is yours.
  • If more than a spray or two was used, we take it out of the depositThis is the only time we would ever reduce a refund. If the vial comes back noticeably lighter than it went out, we deduct the value of the extra fragrance from the deposit. It is a small amount, and it is never more than the deposit itself.
  • It is once and overOne free sample per customer, for good. It is a trial, not a subscription: there is no monthly version, no plan and no discount, and we will not send a second one. If you change your mind on the way to checkout, the deposit is released and nothing is taken.

Experience before committing

Every fragrance in the collection can be experienced for free. Open one to read its notes, or request the sample straight from here.
