Hello. My name is Lancelot Murray. I am the owner of www.samplethefragrance.com. We sell perfumes & fragrances for women and men through our online store. However, we are more than just an online fragrance etailer. We strive to identify and highlight consumer dissatisfactions within the fragrance industry and provide a platform to make your concerns and ours known through blogs. We believe that by working together we can bring about positive change for all.

Recently, there has been an increasing buzz of discontentment among purchasers of perfumes and fragrances. Many are unhappy about the increasing unavailability of .05 oz. vials of free fragrance samples. They have become more and more difficult to acquire. Further, there is a growing dissatisfaction with the overly utilized fragrance sampling method implemented at many brick and mortar perfume counters.

It is common knowledge that department stores are where fragrances are most commonly sampled and purchased.  At www.samplethefragrance.com , we boldly declare that department stores' fragrance counters are not the ideal environment for sampling fragrances. Here is why.

On approach to a typical department store fragrance counter, one becomes overwhelmed by the heavily fused odor of many different fragrances that permeate the air. One's sense of smell becomes tainted by the smorgasbord of various scents. Under such conditions, it is difficult to grasp the true bouquet of a fragrance under consideration for purchase.

Then, one's fragrance selection is sprayed onto a thin strip of paper from which one is expected to sniff.  It begs the question. Would sniffing the fragrance on a sniffer strip give the sniffer reasonable feedback to base a purchase decision? We think not.

The only true way to sample a fragrance is to apply it onto the body. Wear it at the time of day the fragrance manufacturer suggests. Sample it for at least one week before making a determination whether or not the fragrance is right for you.

In order to perform these necessary pre-purchase tests, a fragrance sample of sufficient quantity should be readily available. The sample scent should be used exclusively and consistently during the test period.

Here are a few questions that should be answered before making a fragrance purchase selection. Is there a harmony between your body's chemistry and the fragrance? What comments do your friends and family make about the new fragrance when it is worn? Is the fragrance long lasting? Did it enhance your attitude in some meaningful way? Is it all you expected it to be and more? In your opinion, is the fragrance worth the asking purchase price?  Those and other personal factors should be considered as a part of the fragrance purchasing decision process.

Now here is a major part of the problem. Acquiring fragrance samples from department stores and other fragrance outlets have become increasingly difficult. Fragrance counter representatives inform that fragrance samples are in short supply. They too complain that manufacturers provide fewer samples than they have in the past. Consequently, there are increasingly fewer free fragrance samples to be offered.

The short supply of free fragrance samples has given rise to the sale of these .05 fluid oz. vials of scents. Evidence of this can be found in the growing number of etailers who offer fragrance samples for sale online. That too begs the question. If fragrance samples are in such short supply at popular fragrance counters, then where are etailers getting the fragrance samples they offer for sale online? Are the samples they offer for sale authentic?

We believe the sale of fragrance samples in any form is unethical and constitutes an act of immorality. The free fragrance sample concept was created to allow fragrance lovers to sample scents free of charge. The idea is to encourage would be purchasers to sample a fragrance free of charge, be captured by its aroma and enticed to purchase a regular sized container at full price. This fragrance sampling model however appears to be in jeopardy today.

If the availability of free fragrance samples decline but the sale of these samples persist and increase, individual product lines and the entire perfume and fragrance industry could be negatively impacted.

At Sample The Fragrance we want to encourage manufacturers or those responsible for the shortages of supply, to continue making samples available free of charge and in greater quantities. Also we will persuade manufacturers to impose measures to discourage the sale of fragrance samples.

Please join us in our quest to achieve this worthwhile goal. We encourage your feedback. Email us. Blog with us. Share your experiences on fragrances you have tried. Liked it? hated it? We want to know.

Also, please visit our site and subscribe to our newsletter. It will be our way of keeping you up to date with all the advances in our drive for free fragrance samples in adequate supply. Thank you and we look forward to hearing from you real soon. Bye for now.
