Thinking of purchasing the 12 pack sample box from the official amouage site.
Is it worth it at 89 euro including delivery?

Are they 2ml spray samples??

other possible options??


thanks

No. You can get all the sample samples for $4 each from perfumesraffy.com. I got my samples from them and now I own a bottle (which I actually got from MiN). So, 4x12=$48, not $119.

Hm, they upped their price in the last few months I guess. Still, should be cheaper at 6x12= 72

If you want to pay for what I imagine is a good / great presentation, sure. If not - meh.

Coffrets are normally presented in a very delicate way, making your collection that much smoother / hotter / sexier / insert whatever you want here.

If you're after pure juice and not the bottles / flacons, go for tiny samples and buy splits This coming from someone with quite a lot of Amouage in the wardrobe at the moment, but I DO love those bottles as well as the juice

Not really. I've been sampling a lot of Amouage fragrances lately and I see a similar pattern with all of them. They all smell rather similar. IMO you pick one or two variations that you like and call it a day.

All have started very lite on my skin then turned somewhat heavier on the drydown which is where IMO Amouage shines. The samples that I have tried DO NOT do well in the cold weather on dry skin. Unlike other fragrances that I own.

I own Jubilation 25 for women. It is an amazing scent but I wish it was a little heavier. Maybe in warmer weather it will be.

I went the ParfumsRaffy route and I'm glad I did. They shipped fast. I'm wearing Interlude Man today and I love it. Personally, I think you're better off buying the samples and specifically picking the ones you're interested in.

I've heard from others that they are legit. Still, I'd go with raffy since I know they ship really fast and have what you are looking for.
