Hi there, I have $40 to spend on fragrance samples. Would you buy 10 or so vials from luckyscent or three 2.5ml decants from the perfumedcourt?

Why not 10 or so vials from Perfumed Court?

I prefer spray samples/decants because I find sometimes it alters the scent somewhat. Maybe it's due to the concentration of perfume on a given area?
But, in my opinion, more is better - LOL
Get some vials and enjoy!

If you can't buy full bottles, buy vials.

Ok, final answer:

If the goal is variety, definitely go for vials, wherever you get them. They're cheaper.

If the goal is a full application and you don't care about trying as many scents as possible with your funds, go for the larger spray decants.

Either way, I would go with Perfumed Court, as they have just about the best selection. And if TPC for some reason doesn't have something you want, LuckyScent probably has it as a back up.

They both work fine... I Have been ordering samples from luckyscent for a month now, and I think they have really good service. I just ordered a couple samples from TPC today..

Sounds to me like variety might be how you want to test at this point. Once you narrow it down it might be time for decants, but for now I'd say it sounds like you'd be most inclined to vials.
