How we fill our samples
All our samples are hand decanted using a syringe, in a controlled environment, with care. Each one is filled from an authentic retail bottle into a clear glass atomiser.
Why buy a Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium sample?
The retail bottle of Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium is £102 for 50ml. A 5ml sample from £9 costs under a tenth of that, so you can wear it on your own skin through a full day before deciding whether it earns a place on your shelf.
Scent behaves differently on every person, so a sample shows you how it opens, how long it lasts and how it projects on you, not on a stranger's review. It is also a light, easy way to carry a favourite when you travel.
Every sample is hand decanted from an authentic retail bottle into a clear atomiser, with free UK delivery and no minimum spend.
Looking after your sample
Keep your atomiser away from direct sunlight and heat, and store it upright with the cap on. It is made of glass, so handle it with care and keep it out of reach of children.
