 Hi guys, it's Hila. Hila loves fragrances. Thank you so much for tuning in if you're already subscribed welcome again I appreciate you coming here if you are newer. This is your first time landing here How about you make it official by hitting that like button and subscribing if you like perfumes? Then this is the place to be I love perfumes and I talk about perfumes and yeah I'm just into perfume so today's super quick video because I wanted to talk about perfume samples I was organizing my samples Which just love organizing your perfumes So the samples go in their own Place in my bathroom vanity and I got to thinking about how I kind of struggled to find a place where I could reliably order perfume samples and be reassured that I was getting the real thing It was a lot easier before lockdown happened because I could always go and check in a shop to see if that's what the fragrance actually smelled like but it became more important to be looking for places that were Reliable and so I wanted to share with you some of three of the places that I've liked to get my samples from here in the United Kingdom now some of the places they did do international delivery However, because of COVID and also because of Brexit they have suspended international delivery But at some point they will probably pick up and continue doing it So the first place that I really like is fragrance samples UK Com now they do a lot of niche perfumes a lot of designer perfumes and just a handful of celebrity perfumes So I have ordered so many samples from them the first time that I ordered from them I only ordered two samples because I wasn't too sure you know It's a little bit like is this gonna work is it's not gonna work and this was in December and since then I've gone back And I have ordered about three or four times their samples come in this cute little velvet bags that you can tie up and it comes in a Jiffy envelope, so it is very solid. I'm just gonna get out of this So it is Very securely packaged as well. The postage and packaging has been Super quick and if you order more than 30 pounds if you spend more than 30 pounds on the site You also get a free sample and I to separate occasions I ordered things that went over 30 pounds and I got some Interesting samples to try out So when you get the sample it comes in a really nice little atomizer Like this and it's got a green label that's been printed there Butterfingers Okay, let's get another one So that one was by QE and back to black. This one is a surge Luton's shaggy Yeah, and you can choose if you want to order a one meal a two meal a five meal a ten meal decant But for all intents and purposes everything that they have sent out so far has been Legitimately the real thing because I've gone and I've checked With the shops before lockdown happened and it's just been good And also if you check their review on trust pilot it's been really good So fragrance samples UK has been a really really good place And you know if you spend more than 30 pounds you get the free sample as well And so that's where I go to when I want to try the slightly more expensive Perfumes that I'm not just going to blind by and drop You know a lot of money on and for me a lot of money is you know double digit numbers So to speak but a fragrance samples UK and the other place that I've also liked buying from has been sent samples UK and They have a smaller range of Fragrances and they do a lot more niche of fragrances than they do the design of fragrances And I have enjoyed and I have got some really good quality samples from them and the Atomizers have been Really good. So it's the same so they have the same sort of atomizers So it's this plastic ones and they also have similar type labels There's haven't come in a little Caddy they've just come in like a GP envelope well wrapped well packaged. So that's being okay They as I said before they don't have as much of a range as fragrance samples UK But it's another place that you can go to they do have some Different fragrances that you can't actually get the samples on the first one that I mentioned So that's the other place number two place number three that I like for samples is the perfume shop Dock or UK they and like the other places that give you a decanted Version of the sample from a bigger bottle at Perfume shop you actually get the carded sample You know the one that comes in the fancy little card and it's got the little thing So I have several samples from there because one pound per sample And it's free posted in packaging and you can only order three samples at a time But it's really fantastic because when you look at eBay the same samples are being sold for something like three or four times as much So I like that place the other place that I did try shopping for samples before that I definitely Wouldn't recommend was Etsy the three times that I ordered samples from three different sellers The experience wasn't all that great number one It took a forever for the item to get sent out to me and this was pre You know things really getting Worsened off with Colvid and it was before Christmas and it just took a Really long time for me to even get that notification that item had been dispatched so for a while there was like oh gosh What's happened and what have you and then the other thing that I didn't like was how the The fragrances were packaged. Let me see if I can show you Okay, so this is one of them I was looking at getting aqua de giro Profumo for my son and I ordered it on Etsy and it just came in this and you know the service and The appearance so on here. It just says ADG I'm the one that then added this that says profumo because I needed to be able to know that that's what it was But that's literally all that came in the envelope. There wasn't anything else with it Of which at the time since I was buying a lot of fragrance samples It really helped for me to have the you know, the sample name Stuck on there instead of just like a handwritten label. So that was one of them the other one was also similarly disappointing In terms of the packaging and the weight and how long it took to get to me So I have just become very hesitant about using Etsy So after those three experiences that weren't all that great. I haven't used Etsy So but I've always used the other three now Which is sort of like the favorite places that I like to hang around and I'm constantly adding things there And I wait until I have 30 pounds worth of samples that I want to try so that I can get a free sample to try out So that's it guys So those are some places that you can get some perfume samples here in the UK Until I see you next time guys have a fantastic day and take care of yourselves. Bye. Thanks for watching as well Like the video and subscribe
