BLIND BUYING FRAGRANCE: WHY SAMPLING FIRST MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE

There’s a thrill in discovering a new fragrance. A description catches your eye, the notes sound dreamy, and you can already imagine yourself wearing it. But here’s the risk: until it’s on your skin, you don’t really know how a fragrance will unfold.

That’s where the world of blind buying comes in—and why we believe sampling first is the smarter, more satisfying way to explore scent.

What Is Blind Buying?
Blind buying is purchasing a full bottle of fragrance without ever smelling it. For some, it’s part of the fun—the excitement of discovery. But for many, it can lead to disappointment when the scent on your skin doesn’t quite match what you imagined.

Fragrance is deeply personal. What blooms beautifully on one person may feel completely different on another. That’s because factors like:

• Skin chemistry → Your natural oils and pH affect how notes unfold.
• Body temperature → Warmer skin often amplifies sweet, spicy notes.
• Lifestyle & mood → A scent that feels magical in winter may feel too heavy in summer.

This is why sampling first can be a game-changer.

Why Sampling Matters
Samples let you experience a fragrance before committing. You can wear it for a day, see how it evolves, and notice how it makes you feel. The opening notes, the heart, and the dry-down—each tells part of the story.

And because fragrance is tied to memory, it’s often not until the second or third wear that you know if it truly resonates with you.

Try More, Risk Less
Instead of blind buying, we encourage customers to explore through deluxe-size samples. They’re large enough to give you multiple wears, letting you test fragrances in different moods, settings, and seasons.

It’s the best way to discover your future signature scent—or to curate a wardrobe of fragrances that fit every moment.

To make sampling even better, we created our Build Your Own Bundle. Choose five or more deluxe-size samples and enjoy 15% savings. It’s our way of giving you the freedom to experiment, explore, and fall in love at your own pace. Use code BYOB during checkout.

Because fragrance shouldn’t be a gamble—it should be a journey.
