Need your help with niche samples order

[dreamer81]

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:L’homme de coeur
Divine - Sample:L’homme sage
Etat Libre d’Orange - 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.

Montale Dark Oud
Nasomatto Black Afgano
SL Ambre Sultan

Montale Dark Oud
Nasomatto Black Afgano
SL Ambre Sultan

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

As the others have stated, that is a hec of a sample collection.

[LiteEmUpGood]

Guerlain - Tonka Imperiale and SDV
Frapin - 1270
Nassomato - Black Afghano
ANdy Tauer - LDDM

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.

[hednic]

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

[Birdboy48]

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

[teepeeasel]

MFK -- Oud & APOM
Amouage Tribute Attar
Heeley -- Cardinal

[JiveHippo]

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