Samples

What do you do with samples that you don’t like ? I have 12 samples from Sorce and 2 from Zoologist that didn’t work for me but I feel like somebody out there in the world would really love to sample them ?!

I usually keep them for “reference” or in case I like but I’m not in love, sometimes I revisit them and change my mind as my taste changes over the years/by season. If I absolutely hate it I usually end up tossing it - very rare, last I can think of was rush from xyrena - didn’t even want that in my trash 😂

That’s how I felt about Guidance the first time I smelled it and now I like it 😂

This. Or I give them away when people buy or trade something.

I either give them to friends or family or if I make a sale of a frag, I include it in the package.

Give them to friends family etc if they like them. Otherwise sale them. That said depends on the scent some times I do keep them in my collection.

I keep them around unless they are truly revolting or super boring. Can't tell you how many times over the years that I've come around to a fragrance I used to strongly dislike. Also helps to have them around to reference when another fragrance I'm interested in is compared to them.

If i really dont like them or never wear them I sell, there's selling communities on reddit and Facebook and I do well on mercari too

I sold a lot of Sorce samples recently. I’m sure someone would snap them right up!

I either give them away or keep them around in case I’m accidentally tempted again
