Review (4/5): Small price to pay to find your scent
I purchased this pack of 12 cologne samples after my girlfriend confessed that my current cologne smelled too much like baby powder or shaving cream. It was at that point that I realized I had never really gone in depth to figure out what scents meshed well with me. On a whim, I ordered this sampler.
To be fair to negative reviews, you ARE essentially paying for what you can get for free from department stores or mailers. However, you have no say in what you get, when you get them, etc, nor do you get multiple ones at once in those methods.
Purchasing this sampler pack gives you a wide range of fragrances that you can test individually, and test in different settings. For example, I have found that the Vince Camuto Virtu would be ideal for me in the office, where as Versace Eros would be better for a night out on the town.
Overall, if you have the money, and no clear direction on where to go, this is a great purchase.
