Penhaligon's Bluebell

I have been searching all over the place to find samples of this and the violette one and can only find full bottles. Does anyone know (other than the perfumed court) where to find samples? I know they are older frag's so I'm wondering if I am chasing luck only to slam into a brick wall on finding these samples LOL

any suggestions ??

You may have luck, as I did. I simply emailed Penhaligons and they sent me some samples, free. If your list is short and you write a nice note, it may work out. Bluebell is very floral, violet is very sharp in that distinctive violet sort of way. They are good scents.

Hah-hah! Good luck, I really like Penhaligons. Also, if you go to their website you should register & they'll send you their amazing catalogue, with lots of pictures.

I adore Bluebell, especially in the spring and summer. It is a gorgeous wet, airy floral. Enjoy!

In the vial, this stuff smells so much like hyacinths that it's positively mind-blowing. However, upon application--yick, uck, eewww.

lol quarry. I have read mixed reviews on it and that is partly what my pricked my interest in this frag. I do like some floral frag's so I'm going "in" (lol) with an open mind ;-)
I would like to try the Lilly & Spice one also unless someone can recommend a fan-tab-u-lous one I should choose for my very first Penhaligon's frag

Here is the link for LuckyScent samples. I like Bluebell sometimes, other times I try on my sample & I don't. I still haven't bought a bottle. It's very interesting though, and charming. I have also been thinking about it lately. I'll get out my sample and try it again.
