The Scent City Signature

Our niche perfume samples enable you to go well beyond a ‘signature scent’

Back in the day, it seemed that everyone had a signature scent. Your mother, grandma, French teacher... they all had a fragrance that they swore by and apparently never failed to wear each day. You may get a whiff of a certain perfume today, and be immediately reminded of someone you knew many years ago.

For as long as most of us can remember, women have been urged to find a ‘signature scent’.

But is the idea of a fragrance that you simply stick with for day after day after day, for years, whatever the circumstances, becoming outdated?  

We may be entering the era of the ‘scent wardrobe’

It’s an intriguing question, and one that may have long been answered by one of the most legendary figures in perfumery, Estee Lauder. The only woman to be named in Time magazine’s list in 1998 of the 20 most influential business geniuses of the 20^th century said you wouldn’t wear the same dress to play tennis and go out to dinner, so why would you wear the same fragrance?

You’d expect a genius businessperson and cosmetics company co-founder to say that. But there is some substance to her point – especially in today’s age of easily available niche perfume samples that allow you to try out a series of desirable fragrances simultaneously, and at a good price.

It’s not as expensive a pastime as you might think

The trend for increasing numbers of self-respecting ladies to assemble a ‘scent wardrobe’ of fragrances that can be tailored to different social occasions has been greatly helped along by perfume brands themselves. Even many of the most obscure brands have now begun to sell their most popular scents in smaller and more affordable sizes.

We are certainly proud to do our bit here at Scent City, with our extensive selection of discovery sets from such sought-after niche brands as David Jourquin, Designer Shaik, Ex Idolo, The Vagabond Prince and Teo Cabanel.

Whether you simply choose to have different scents for different days – as 59% of perfume lovers do, according to research by market analysts Mintel – or you switch things up for every season or mood you’re in, Scent City can be the discerning online store that helps to make it possible.

We can offer you as formidable a range of niche perfume samples as you’ll find anywhere – so why wait any longer to begin shopping for a few from us?
