Need your help with niche samples order

Dear basenoters. This (last) year I have not bought a fragrance as a Christmas present for myself but I have an urge to buy some samples from luckyscent.

I picked up this so far:

Amouage - Sample:Jubilation XXV
Amouage - Sample:Lyric for Men
Amouage - Sample:Reflection Man
Amouage - Sample:Epic Man
Amouage - Sample:Memoir Man
By Kilian - Sample:Back to Black
Histoires de Parfums - Sample:Ambre 114
Maison Francis Kurkdjian - Sample:Cologne pour le Soir
Maison Francis Kurkdjian - Sample:Absolue pour le Soir
Montale - Sample:Red Aoud
Montale - Sample:Red Vetyver
Serge Lutens - Sample:Un Bois Vanille
Serge Lutens - Sample:Chergui
Diptyque - Sample:Philosykos - Eau de Toilette
Divine - Sample:Lhomme de coeur
Divine - Sample:Lhomme sage
Etat Libre dOrange - Sample:Fat Electrician


I might be adding like 3 more samples but I need your help with this. Based on my TOP 5, wardrobe and sample ratings is there anything else available at luckyscent as a samples that I HAVE TO SAMPLE? I am looking for spicy oriental, woody oriental or maybe gourmand. Something unique with personality but still wearable and modern.

I plan to order Le Labo discovery set later directly from Le Labo so Le Labo is out of question. I am also looking to sample most of Frederic Malle fragrances but they are not available here.

May I say that's the best sample list I've seen in years. You've done alot of homework.

May I add a couple I think should be on the list:

Bois d'Ascese by Naomi Goodsir

Cuirelle by Ramon Monegal

Invasion Barbare by MDCI

Thank you sir! How could I forgot Invasion Barbare? Maybe because I wont ever be able to afford full bottle? Well, atleast I can experience juice from sample.

I quickly checked other 2 suggestions and they both also sound intriguing. Thank you.

I already own sample of Dark Oud and like it.
Black Afgano sample is rather expensive ($10 for 0,7ml of juice?) and they dont have Ambre Sultan sample yet.

Thanks for suggestions anyway.

I like your sample choices - some very good ones in there - and in your collection!

If you have any love for incense (I am thinking you do with your Memoir Man & Jubilation XXV), I would recommend:
by Kilian Incense Oud
Comme des Garcons Avignon

I would also recommend:
by Kilian Straight to Heaven
Heeley Agarwoud
Heeley Sel Marin
Diptyque Tam Dao
Serge Lutens Ambre Sultan
Serge Lutens Fille en Aiguilles

Great list already, and so many things you could sample in the oriental/gourmand territory. I'd add Lubin Idole, ELdO Tom of Finland (rather than their fat electrician), and Lutens Jeux de peau.

Great list and I would add by Kilian Straight to Heaven, I think it matches what you're looking for, and is one of my absolute favourite fragrances. Also Frapin Caravelle Epicee for a great spicy woody boozy scent.

I'd check out their Micallef offerings for samples. Several seem to fit your criteria.

Serge Lutens Fille en Aiguilles, as was mentioned above. "Different" and some very nice stuff for this time of year.

+1 Serge Lutens Jeux de Peau. Great gourmand scent that gets very little play on BN.
