Greetings from a former lurker. I'm not a total frag newbie, but I have just recently joined the forum section of BN. By way of introduction, I can say that, six months ago, I would never in my wildest dreams predicted I'd be here. For years, I owned one scent, Jovan White Musk, and that was all I used. A couple years ago, I made the addition Of Opium, so I had two. Then, I made my way into wet-shaving in a round-about way, and suddenly I've actually found I enjoy colognes!
There is a problem. Here in the Midwest, there are few places to sample more than the basic department-store offerings. I've found that even those places are inadequate as a quick spray to the wrist is no way to make a choice. I've done the free sample thing, and also purchased decants. I've found this forum to be a great source of ideas for things to try. Here's a question, though....where is a good place (or places) to find some of these products? I have used some online vendors like fragrancex, scentmania, etc., but what about things they don't carry?
I'm sure there is no one place for everything, but are there preferred sources? I assume buying from established members in the "For Sale" section is a good way.....what do you folks do?
